I could handle the others, but this one is really hard to take.

Now we will see the Sham Wow pitchman everywhere which could be the plot line for a future plot line for an episode of Law & Order

I read his flight yesterday had a very rough landing and something fell out of the overhead compartment and struck him in the head. Later that evening his wife said he told her he wasn't feeling well. I'll bet his death is related. RIP Billy.

This sucks. I was just starting to like him ever since pitchmen started. He was on Conan recently and was great. This is too sad.

Geez, you are one to talk. It's not his fault he suffered from vitiligo and lupus. Yeah he had surgeries that ended up doing more harm than good. I wasn't aware mocking the misfortunes of others was a respectful thing to do these days.
