Somehow I knew this topic would get at least 10 more posts than usual after all these deaths....Well, R.I.P Billy Mays, Best infomercialist(is that a word?) ever. In the recent celebrity onslaught I can only wonder who will be next.

Excuse the pun, but two kings and an angel died this week: (MJ=King of Pop, BM= Infomercial King, FF= Charlies Angels)

I guess it's not too inappropriate to say Lol here?

Celebrities are dropping like flies. RIP Billy Mays, Farah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Ed McMahon.

Yet another unfortunate celebrity death to add to the list.

RIP Fred Travalena.

Rest in peace, Billy Mays. May you forever sell Mighty Putty in heaven.


But really, I'm freaking tearing apart from his death. I nearly cried...

He worked with Farrah Fawcett on a sitcom, interestingly enough.

RIP Karl Malden (though at 97 years old, his death isn't as surprising).

RIP The pilot of the monorail in Walt Disney World, Florida. Crashed at 2:00 this morning... So Sad...

Surprised no one else has mentioned this, and I meant to post it sooner, but I never got around to it, but:
R.I.P. Steve McNair, former Pro Bowl quarterback for the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens. Killed by his girlfriend while sleeping... *shudders* Very sad.

R.I.P. Walter Cronkite

I think I'm going to watch Yellow Submarine now...

My grandpa, last Wednesday.

Most likely off-topic: I don't see what everybody gets so worked up about. [EDIT: I mean celebrity deaths] It's just one less false god people will worship. Most of us will never meet them, all we know about them is what comes from tabloids, plus a lot of them are spoiled and decadent.

Oh, well... R.I.P. Charlton Heston... even though he died about a year ago.
