Well so much for the "in three's" theory!  First Ed McMann, then Farah Faucet, Michael Jackson, now Billy Maes!!!!  What's going on here?  Four people one of 80+ then a 60+year old and two 50 year olds????

It's three of the same level of stardom... Billy Mays was no where near the same level as the other three...

I suspect we'll get 2 more B or below grade celebrities checking out soon...

Yeah, I hate to listen to some of the commercials too, but he was one of the better pitchmen out there.

And MUCH BETTER than the Sham Wow guy!!!!! Now he's really annoying!

You mean, "scam now" towel. 
I was watching a news show and they had that guy saying that it would pick up 20x it's weight in water, then you hear another exact commercial and he say's it'll pick up 12x it's weight, then again, it'll pick up 10x it's weight.....

The truth is, it'll pick up 10x it's own weight in water, then again, so will a common household sponge.  And a sponge won't streak as much!!

Bought one of those chamois in a flea market in Apache Junction Arizona.
Still feel ripped off!!
