Billy Mays Dead at 50

Oh bearded one, we hardly could ignore ye. TV’s ultimate pitchman and decibel destroyer Billy Mays was found dead at the age of 50 by his wife in their Tampa home. They say these things come in threes, but let’s make it a foursome after Ed, Farrah and Michael. While it would be easy to showcase the man’s work for OxiClean, Kaboom, ESPN and everthing else under the sun, homage is best reserved for this beat-driven ditty…RIP sir.
