Piggie, I take it you won't be watching Billy Mays' new reality show, "Pitchmen" anytime soon?

no not unless it's a cage match or demolition derby with him and Vince.

My bad!! Well maybe his flash in the pan is over. Now we need to start operation "Scorched Mays"......

There is a youtube audio-only clip of Billy Mays calling out Vince due to ripping off his products...

Quote:

Doesn't vince like, have a product called the--

Billy: He's got the CRAP chop--i mean Slap chop!

Do i need to go farther and mention the Mucinex blob man?

Or the Digger the foot fungus?

And they always complained that kids got too much from Joe Camel, now they're advertising drugs with mascots?

Although personally, Joe Camel had taste, and i thought they were well done, considering i was about 5 years old but i never wanted to pick up a cigarrette anyways.

Billy Mays found dead

Quote:

Authorities say Mays was pronounced dead Sunday morning after being found by his wife at home. There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.

Whoa, they're dropping like flies ladies and gentleman! How in the heck do they not suspect foul play less than 6 hours after his death? Just like Michael Jackson, Billy was only 50 too.

One radio station in Tennessee, Eagle 94.3, they play good songs, but they advertise Ultra 90 like he's being blackmailed. And then this ad came on.

Quote:

Woman on Radio: "Are you tired of hearing 'Ultra 90! Ultra 90! Ultra 90!'?"
Me: "YES!!"
Woman on Radio: "Geez, why do you hear it so much? Probably because it works!"

I have not listened to the Eagle 94.3 since.

If it works then you don't need to hear about it.

But the bottom line if it's true from the tiny bit of googling research is neg and obnoxious ads work.

I heard in 2010 mid terms Billy Mays will be doing political ads, not, lol. Then again if it really happened I would not be surprised.

BTW Aries, this turn into an active thread! Thanks for starting it

Looks like you got your wish, Piggie. He probably ate one coronary-inducing Big City slider too many, especially after that bumpy landing. (In order for that burger making thing to work as advertised, you have to use high-fat meat. Lean meat doesn't "slide.")

It might backfire, though. It's better to hire a disgraced pitchman instead of a dead one.

Dime a dozen, those carnival-barking pitchmen. I've seen others on the air hawking other products, but they're not as annoying. I just hope they don't use the Enzyte ad guy, the one who plays "Smilin' Bob." I think I saw him hawking this, though: Home | Car Cash Loans - Auto Pawn, Title Car Loans, Car Title Loans, Collateral Loans I really wanna sock that smile off his face...

Aries · 06-28-2009, 04:25 PM

The guy behind Enzyte actually got a jail sentence and a massive fine when he admitted that Enzyte didn't even do anything. But yeah, I'd like to take Bob and send that smile round to the back of his head.
