So yeah, the famous oxy clean pitchman is dead.  Go out and buy some Kaboom! Orange Glo, and Oxy Clean.  Clean your house in honor of him.

In just this month it's been:

David Carradine
Ed McMahon
Farrah Fawcett
Michael Jackson
Billy Mays

What's the saying?  Celebrity deaths happen in 3's?  We're one away from a second set of 3.

I nominate the Shamwow guy to round out that second set.

I only hope they honour Billy Mays by never showing one of his commercials again...

ok so 5 celebrities died this month... what is this fascination with the creepiest, ugliest, most shaged up one of the bunch?  its like everyone turned into a Micheal Jackson fan when he is dead.  the day before everyone was told he died, if you mentioned him, you would have gotten all the pedophile jokes, no one would have said a nice things about him except maybe he made some "cool" hits in the 70's n 80's.  now everyone cries over this freak and not one mention of these other celebrities..  i mean David Carradine died from that Autoasphyxiation .. thats creepier than MJ anyday.

i've seen a few commercials that actually showed him.. i think it was the awesome auger commercial..  i dont really find it in bad taste to use him.. but they are still making money off of him and his pitch work.  i bet that money goes to his family though.

this just verified the fact that ghosts exist... immortalized on TV.
