Ubiquitous TV pitchman Billy Mays died today at his home in Tampa, Fla., at age 50. Featured recently in the Discovery Network show "Pitchman" with ubersalesman Anthony Sullivan, Mays was the quintessential in-your-face, but likable, door-to-door salesman - except that he went door-to-door via the infomercial.
We were hoping the Obama Administration could have hired Billy to pitch their health reform initiative ("You can get your family covered for only $19.95 a month! That's right $19.95 a month! But wait..."), but alas it's not to be. Rest in peace.
