What Infomercials Do You Love (or Love to Hate)?
Even if you didn't know Billy Mays's name, you probably knew the products he sold. The TV pitchman — who died suddenly on Saturday at age 50 — recorded infomercials and commercials for OxiClean, Orange Glo, Mighty Putty, and many more. He not only turned up time after time on basic cable at 3 a.m., he also pitched on the Home Shopping Network and even scored his own Discovery Channel series, Pitchmen.
Remembering Infomercial King Billy Mays
My favorite weird product spokesman, Billy Mays, passed away over the weekend. Known for his droll yet manic introductions ("Billy Mays here with another faan-tastic product"), this guy could pitch anything.

I read about President Obama answering more questions from the nonmainstream media, but I had no idea how far nonmainstream he was going. Of course, infomercial king Billy Mays here has some faaan-tastic products for the beleaguered prez. .
Kaboom, Baby!
It’s “Billy Mays” again, and he might even be funnier this time around. After watching this commercial, I realize I need me some Kaboom. Somebody decided to eat spaghetti in the shower — again!
Mighty Putty Commercial: Redubbed For Your Pleasure!
I had never seen the original Billy Mays Mighty Putty commercial for this putty stuff that can supposedly fix anything, but after this parody, I really don't need to. "Don't use this shit, you know it doesn't work," says the bored voice of other products. But Mighty Putty?

Jessica's Front and Center as Ashlee's Number One Fan
Jessica Simpson spent last night back at NYC's Ambassador Theater to see Ashlee take the stage as Roxie Hart in Chicago. Sisterly bonding was Jessica's first priority on this latest trip East, which includes supporting Ashlee's Broadway debut.
