Sadly Another Celebrity Death Today

First Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett, then Michael Jackson died. It's been a tough week to be a celebrity. All of them will be missed. R.I.P. When the news the Farrah died it was a big deal, but it seems she was quickly out-shined by Michael Jackson's death later that day.

Now Michael Jackson has been out-shined by another, and bigger, legend. Billy Mays.

"The King of Pop" then "The King of Infomercials" what the hell is going on?

The article I read said:

Tampa police said Mays was found unresponsive by his wife Sunday morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m.There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play, said Lt. Brian Dugan of the Tampa Police Department, who wouldn't answer any more questions about how Mays' body was found because of the ongoing investigation. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.
The police did say that the place was extremely clean with various bottles of OxyClean and OrangeGLO around the house and he was found non-responsive but was standing up, smiling, giving the thumbs up (the picture above was shot this morning when he was found) - a true showman.
They are currently investigating Vince Offer (Shamwow guy) everyone knows he was out for Billy, and Vince is quite dangerous with that Slap-Chop weapon of his. Just kidding, but if Vince Offer was to become a infomercial serial killer I hope he would have a cool quote like, "pitch this!" or "If it doesn't say Shamwow, it's not!!" and *BANG!* your dead.

What a sad day for insomniacs everywhere. I hear there will be a huge tribute show for Billy Mays to be aired this week. It will looped from 2am-5am on the home shopping network. *Call in the first 30 min and receive a free bottle of OxyClean!
All kidding aside everyone mentioned above will be missed. R.I.P.

Slap-Chop Infomercial - REMIXED

Well looky what we have here folks!
We have a RAP REMIX video for infomercial a "Slap-Chop". If your not familiar with the "Slap-Chop" it is a product that is promoted by Vince Shlomi, a.k.a the "Sham Wow" guy. It seems pretty useful - I usually slap my vegetables with my bare hand but this looks like it might work better. If you know who Vince is, you may remember that he recently enjoyed the company of a prostitute...and by "enjoyed company" I mean she bit his tongue and he beat the hell out of her!
Why would she mess with him? Hasn't she seen what he does to innocent little vegetables!? Jeez, slapping seems to be his cure for everything. Oh well I guess you should just, "slap your troubles away" as Vince would say.

WATCH THE "RAP CHOP" VIDEO:

The video is pretty impressive it was done by DJ Steve Porter.
