Apparently, he felt unwell when he went to bed last night. 

He bumped his head when the airplane he was on had a rough landing, so I wonder if he had bleeding into his brain?

Yeah thats what I think. But still, what the fuck? Normally when someone gets hit in the head, they go to the hospital to get it checked out. I mean.. your BRAIN is in there.

Annoying ads like he produced are part of the reason I didn't bother with TV service for almost 3 years.

If you got hit in the head but you didn't lose consciousness and didn't vomit, then would you still go to the hospital to get it checked out?

My daughter ran into the sliding glass door at her grandparent's house and hit her head, hard.  I called her pediatrician, but I didn't take her to the hospital and she was fine.  My husband thought I was completely overreacting to even call the pediatrician.

Maybe Billy Mays thought he would be fine after a good night's sleep, assuming that's what happened.

This counts as a celebrity? :P

When my wife got smashed over the head with a tree limb,
we DID go to the hospital. They puttered around long enough
that we just left.

Maybe he figured it wasn't worth the bother.

If Natasha Richardson had gotten a CAT scan after she bumped her head skiing on the bunny hill, she probably would not have died.

However, I wonder how likely an emergency room doctor would be to order one if someone bumped his head and was not showing neurological problems.

Yes, there are only a small percent of people who sustain serious head injuries w/o it being readily apparent.
Title: Re: Billy Mays died

While, for some of us,
it's apparent, without injury.

I hate commercials, so infomercials are an extended shitfest.     The last thing I want to see on TV is some shouting asshat trying to sell me something that I wouldn't want even if he gave it to me for free.

I was not aware of his win/loss ratio in martial arts tournaments.   Chuck Norris used to actually compete.    Billy Mays is really skilled at annoying the living shit out of me with his voice.   If I had met him in person, it would be difficult for me to stay in the same room with the guy.

I bought a bunch of mighty putty, cause it was basically cheap epoxy putty. And that stuff actually is useful for tons of shit.

Eh, epoxy putty isn't expensive usually.   Depends on what hardware store you go to.

It wasn't dye, it was demon's blood. He killed them and ate them constantly.

i dont know how anyone can buy millions of really well stupid shit on tv, i actually tired the shamwow and it works for like a month! then it fucks up and doesnt do the job like it was intended to for 10 years or whatever the warenty is for. i mean really, most products online are nothing more than a gimmick and sadly its apart of american culture oxi-clean is another bogus product that isnt any better than the cheap stuff like sun laundry detergant  ;)

Actually, I think Oxiclean works well as an oxygen bleach to remove stains, but not as a laundry detergent.

There's usually an inverse relation between the amount of promotion deemed necessary to move the merch, and its actual worth. The highest-demand products and services need little or no advertising; for the most part, they sell themselves.
