Billy Mays was 100x as awesome as MJ. Can't believe he's getting so little attention.

I don't think you can have someone banned for thinking michael jackson is a pedophile since it's suspicion, not slander. By that argument, Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, Mark McGwire, and Sosa should have been outraged at Southpark accusing them of taking steroids when there was no public proof at that time.

I couldn't believe it, I thought it was a bad lampoon of the MJ death.

But seriously. This is sad. Billy Mays was a nice guy, he was excellent at what he did and he did not deserve to die. Making a cute reference to Death note is fine, but diminishing his accomplishments and taking away his right to be respected during death is sick.

"Billy Mays here from beyond the grave telling you about the awesome power of oxiclean!" They should add that to all the oxiclean commercials.

There seems to be a lot of strong opinions here ...

Michael Jackson was very influential across the entire world, as well as someone who frequently utilized dance moves. But he was also very controversial, did strange things that are clearly unacceptable, and some that are debatably unacceptable.

Billy Mays was a good salesman. Yes he was on infomercials, and yes products from infomercials are overhyped and typically do not work particularly well, but he did help countless old ladies to find something to spend their social security checks on, and was a generally loud celebrity.

It is possible to have positive or negative opinions about either, but you cannot deny there are both positive and negative aspects about both.
