If I was a celebrity and around 50, I might be hiding under my bed right about now...

Vince the sham wow guy, but mainly for the Slap Chop adverts
Perfect navy Seal push up guy
I know, it's a let down...
I was hoping that Vince would get killed by a hooker, so close.

Damn but you guys are hardened ;-(
If his autopsy comes back like Natasha Richardson's that he died due to brain injuries suffered during the hard landing of the US Airways plane in Tampa, can only imagine the lawsuit to follow.
At least this should be the end of the deaths for a bit. They only come in lots of three.

Re: Billy May Dead
Oh no. Billy Mays revolutionised advertising, he clearly influenced modern adverts today. Without him Barry Scott and Vince Offer would never have become the huge successes they are today.

Re: Billy May Dead
Actually I believe the credit for that goes to the owner of Crazy Eddies. He was the first to use this approach to televised advertising.
