    Pitchman Billy Mays Dead

    Man, this has not been a kind week for celebrities. First, Johnny Carson sidekick Ed McMahon dies on Tuesday. Then on Thursday, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson die within five hours of each other. And now this from Bay News 9, the pitchman who shilled products such as OxiClean; and Orange Glo, among others has died.

    At around 7:45 this morning (Eastern Time, 4:45 AM Pacific), Mays was found dead at his home by his wife. Police do not suspect any break-in or foul play in his death.

    So as we mourn the passings of Ed; Farrah; and Michael, let us remember the loudmouth who helped us get our clothes clean.
