Billy Mays has died

[Rob Williams]

There are few people who don't know who Billy Mays is, and even if you don't recognize the name, you likely recognize the face. He's been selling cleaning products for a while, such as Oxi Clean, Orange Clean, Kaboom, et cetera. If there's one thing he's well-known for though, it's the fact that he never knew how to speak at room level (so it appears!), but he definitely knew how to sell product.

RIP Billy.

These informercials are very American, so that's why (well, we get them in Canada too).

Here's a video I saw linked somewhere, it's comical:

He was the only guy I really knew as an "info"mercial guy.
