Aiiieee!

I made a rather left-handed reference in times past to that huckster Billy Mays, a guy whom I hold in utter contempt. There isn’t a single solitary soul on my teevee who makes me dive for the remote faster than Billy. The guy set the Obnoxious Bar at what I thought was an impossibly high level… one that would never be topped. But the impossible has been done. Mays has been exceeded… and by a margin so wide as to be unbelievable... by this guy and his freakin' headset:

Yanno what’s worse? “Vince” is now doing MORE ads for other crap no one needs, too. Nothing succeeds in America like excess... tacky, tacky excess.

Just for grins and giggles… Here’s Billy in a rather clever mash-up. I hate actively dislike Billy Mays, but I found this amusing…

    Sounds good, glad someone is having nice weather, enjoy.

    BTW in the ‘it’s all relative’ dept.’, it’s 30 deg. here today, which is the "warmest” it’s been in about 3 weeks and may probably be the warmest for the next couple of months.

    The Sham WOW hucksters are now at every gun show in the area...Sham WoW and Guns? Guess they want to clean things up?

    As for the weather, 3 weeks without a day or night above 32, tomorrow 37! But the deep freeze is back in West Ohio by Saturday Morning.

    I have the Sham Wow towel set. A friend gave it to me as a gag gift. They are out in the garage on a shelf because I can't figure out what to do with them. I thought maybe I'd line the cat litter pan with them. Hmmmm....

    I joked with Stuntman that I wanted a Sham-Wow for Christmas... and I acted very disappointed when I didn't receive one ;) It's still a running joke around here.
    These two must actually sell a lot, or they wouldn't have so much work!

    THE THING THAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT BILLY MAY SHOUTS EVERYTHING HE SAYS!

    You've got a microphone, Billy. Chill.

    You know there must be hundreds of people who knew that Shamwow guy from high school who are amazed someone is finally paying him for his bullshit.

    Billy Mays, I'm sorry to admit, lives in central Florida and has gotten wealthy peddling whatever snake oil that offers him the most money. The thing that really aggravates me the most is the prices they charge for the postage and handling. And where the hell does $19.95 come from.

    So the obnoxious Billy Mays has competition in the "where's the mute button?" class. Between the two of them, I am beginning to understand why the rest of the world dislikes the U.S.
    P.S. Absolutely loved Dave G.'s comment.

    Oh LORD that guy bugs me too! Ugh! Luckily, we don't watch much live tv. Most of what we watch is on the DVR. I can just hit fastforward most of the time. LOL!

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
