    Thought you were joking, looked it up, can't believe it. Somewhere out there Vince Offer is packing up his Sham-Wow and slap chopper and headed to the big leagues.

    Airline is already pointing fingers (no seat belt). Every flight that I've been on the flight attendants check to ensure all have seat belts fastened. More believable that something from overhead hit him in the head as he alluded, IMO. Anyway, sad and needless death.

    Re: Billy Mays dead!

    Very sad. His commercials were loud and in your face but behind the scenes he was known to be a really nice, humble guy and there were always stories of Billy being scene driving around Tampa in his Bentley.

    He's been on the MJ Morning Show in Tampa a lot lately to promote his TV show but he also made time to have some fun and you could tell when listening that Billy was sincere and having a good time.

    He had just landed a deal to do an ad campaign for Taco Bell too.

    I got a kick out him pulling up to a McDonald's drive through for the morning radio show:
