Billy Mays is Dead; the Age of the Infomercial is Over.

How dare Billy Mays steal Michael Jackson's thunder? I mean, if we haven't went through enough tragedy this week, this tops it all off. I mean, how are we supposed to go on from here? Billy Mays is everything that was right about a free market economy.

In tribute, I've included this link of some of his greatest hits. In addition, I've listed some of the King of Mop's greatest products and taglines.

Zorbeez - "Zoorbeez attracts liquid like a magnet." The original Shamwow, but not nearly as good. But who cares, because the Shamwow pitchman is a lame headset-wearing nancy and Billy Mays is like Chuck Norris but better, because he could sell a walker to a Texas Ranger.

Flies Away - "Flies Away makes your home a no-fly zone! Flies Away Traps & Kills up to 20,000 flies!"

Mighty Mendit - "Sewing takes forever, but with mighty mendit just apply, gently touch and mend it!"

Tool Bandit - "The Tool Band-it™ flexible and lightweight magnetic arm band provides a safe place to keep all of your tools and parts!"

Big City Sliders - 'Big City Slider Station is the mini burger sensation that's sweeping the nation!"

R.I.P. Billy Mays (1958-2009)
