Billy Mays dead Fox news
Posted on 29. Jun, 2009 by admin in Headline News
Billy Mays was found dead by his wife in his Tampa, Florida home on June 28, 2009. The Associated Press reported that there were no indications that the house had been broken into, and that police did not suspect foul play.
According to Fox News, Mays had been aboard a US Airways flight that blew out its front tires as it landed at Tampa International Airport on June 27, the day before his death. None of the 138 passengers and five crew members were reported to be seriously injured immediately following the incident, but several passengers reported having bumps and bruises from falling objects. Mays told the local Tampa TV station that some of the objects “hit me on the head, but I got a hard head.” It is unclear whether Mays’ death was related to the incident.
In other disturbing news related to Billy Mays, there appear to be some people going around the internet creating “Billy Mays dead jokes”.
What a sick world we live in! To make death jokes about people.

This was a tragedy, yes. And I’m sure everyone hearts go out to his family along with the other loses that have occurred recently. However, despite however off color it may seem for there to be death jokes going around. You really need to get a sense of humor. For a lot of people this is how they cope with loss.
But, yes we do live in a sick world. But its always been one and like I said. Get a sense of humor.

Let someone you love die and see if you have a sense of humor. There is a time to Joke and a time to be sensitive of people’s feelings. Get a brain and figure out which to have at this time.

Don’t fool yourself. You’re not concerned about the feelings of Billy’s close ones. Comments from the internet aren’t like to directly affect them. PC is a useless way to fabricate an allusion of morality. You’re just as much of an a-hole as everybody else, you’re just nicer about it
Incidentally, I’d love to have people make jokes about me when I die. Unfortunately I’m not famous enough for that

I sent an e-mail to the Mays family asking where to send flowers. I received a reply:
“In Leiu of flowers, since Billy died of heart disease, we would like you to send 2 easy payments of $19.99 to the American Heart Association. If you would like a Thank You card, please enclose an additional $3 to cover Postage&Handling. Each Thank You card will have a $5 coupon toward your next purchase of Kaboom. Our way of saying thanks”
