It’s been quite the weekend in Pop Cultureland. First it was Farah Fawcett who died of a dreaded illness, then the shock of Michael Jackson’s untimely passing, and now the unexpected death of Billy Mays. Billy Mays you ask? Oh come now. You may not recognize the name, but you know Billy Mays. At least you know his work. Billy Mays did infomercials for OxiClean and OrangeGlo among other products. He died Sunday of unknown causes. What is going to happen to the world of infomercials now? Will the Shamwow guy, Vince Shlomi, become the pre-eminent pitchman in America? Or, is Billy Mays, like Michael Jackson and Farah Fawcett simply irreplaceable?
