I really looked up to him.


There are sure a lot of stars dieing, Kodachrome film, people that played in movies, people that were music stars, and pitchmen icons. What a sad week

Gotta say I always found it obnoxious when he came on TV, I never understood why he was always yelling at me.

Lol Anbesol I have to agree. I did catch a few bits and pieces of the Pitchmen cable series he was on recently and I guess I understand more now why those commercials are like that. Still, I think I've vowed never to buy Oxi-clean or OrangeGlo or any of that other stuff just because those commercials irritated the heck out of me.

But he never hawked a product he didn't test or that didn't worked.

I'm just stunned that Billy's been outlived by Vince of shamwow fame (and drugs and altercations with hookers).

My co-workers and I had decided even before Vince's 'incident' that in a steel cage infomercial death match, Billy would win on volume alone.

It's a shame, really. With his discovery show and all, he was really going well in life.
