Conflicting opinions.
I'll be honest here. I was bothered, yes, by the recent deaths of Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon and Michael Jackson, but it was more of a "...Well. Damn. What is this, celebrity death month?"

Then Billy Mays bought the farm, and I went "...Well. Damn. I'm gonna miss that annoying loudmouth, I really am."

Sure, his commercials were rather irritating. Barking out pitches about products at the top of his lungs and touting them as the best things on earth. (Although in retrospect, I can't think of a single product he pitched that we've tried at some point that wasn't good - so, point to him.) But dammit, no matter how irritating, annoying or loud, he grew on me, and I'm gonna miss him.

I think Ctrl+Alt+Del's tribute says more than I ever could.

Requiescat in pace, Billy Mays.
