A true reason for mourning.... :(

http://www.wfsb.com/entertainment/19884862/detail.html


Billy Mays has died. Known for such great hits as orangeglo and kaboom. He will be truly missed. I can remember many occasions where his ridiculous yelling had me glued to my seat.... when will all the celebrity deaths stop!

When there is enough room for the new ones.

A) This is fake right? B) Isn't this a motorcycle forum & not a twitter? Some of our thoughts are not worth broadcasting right?

Yeah, but a some "Mighty Putty" could help put a VTR back together after a crash. Might be better than Duct Tape.

I am sorry he died, though I didn't really care for him.

I don't like anyone yelling at me & trying to get me to buy stuff. Others need/love to be yelled at/manipulated into buying an "Awesome Auger"-type piece of crap product. The times I've been fool enough to buy stuff off the TV are hopefully over.

Wow, I've seen more mourning for Billy Mays, Michael Jackson, Farrah Faucet and Ed McMahon than I have for our fallen Soldiers, Marines and Sailors.

WHAT THE **** is America coming too that we care about a pitch man, a ditsy blonde, an over the hill actor and a CHILD MOLESTER who ran from the country.

If you mourn these people, you're an *******!!

OK, man. The bitterness will kill you.

The country is pretty much the same as it always has been, I think. I agree it's silly, the attention they're getting from the media, esp. Jackson. It's just the nature of celebrity. When safety Pat Tillman of the Arizona Cardinals died in Afganistan a few years back it got a lot of media attention.

While I'm not really particularly mourning any of these people, I did shed a tear or 2 for the Crocodile Hunter & his loved ones a couple years ago. I guess it was because he was a cool guy and I admired him. I may be an a$$hole, but not because of that.

Doesn't mean we don't mourn the military people who have perished. It's not an either/or thing.

Most Decorated Marine Pilot Dies At 89.

http://www.democratherald.com/articl...sser062809.txt

"In 1945, while based in Okinawa, he stripped down his F4U-4 Corsair fighter and intercepted a Japanese observation plane at high altitude. When his guns froze, he flew his fighter into the observation plane, hacking off its tail with his propeller."

L8R, to mourn for his loss is one thing, to make it a huge issue is another. To mourn and feel sadness for his family, that doesn't make you an *******, and you know it's not how I intended it. To shed a tear for the Croc Hunter, well IMO, that is cool, he did what he did for the love of the animals, not to make a buck "pitching" the next idea.

RK1, now that is an awesome bit of news. Thank you for sharing.

Yeah. Col. Reusser, who flew 253 combat missions in three wars, shot down five times in all... His 59 medals include two Navy Crosses, four Purple Hearts and two Legions of Merit.

The 99.99% of Americans who don't read Col. Reusser's local newspaper will never know who he was.

They'll be too busy watching national media shitbirds celebrate the life of a sickfuck self mutilating pedophile dope addict.

You know this bullshit about Jackson overshadows and chokes out the most important senate vote in americas history...
and you didnt (wont) hear anything about it on CNN or any liberal Obama-***-kissing media. We are still hearing in depth coverage of Wacko Jackos ordeal on these stations. Look hes dead, and hes still dead.
At 3AM (typical democrat fashion) the senate passes out this energy bill with cap-and-trade carbon offset mumbo jumbo in a 1300 ( yes , thirteen hundred ) page long document that no one had time to read at all.
Just like this insane stimulus (porkulus) bill they rammed thru the inbred senate at 4AM earlier this spring, NO ONE had a chance in hell of reading and comprehending its contents before the vote was rushed.

This country is absolutely fucked. I won bets last summer about what was next, and I will take any now.

Rebellion is coming.
Join or perish.

And Jackson currently is still dead.
