I guess so! I didn't know whether to put the thread here in Entertainment or in News/Politics. Looks like we've covered all the bases.

This impacted me more than MJ's death.

Yeah, I said it.

Did anyone see his series last night "Pitchmen" on the Discovery channel?
They ran like 5 back to back. They were really quite interesting I thought.

HIS PRODUCTS WERE ALL OF GENERALLY GOOD QUALITY. I FOUND OXYCLEAN TO BE PARTICULARLY HELPFUL IN CLEANING UP CAT BLOOD (ONE OF OUR CATS HAD A PPU SURGERY AND LEFT A LOT OF SPOTS AND PUDDLES AROUND THE APARTMENT).

I CAN'T SAY I'LL MISS HIS COMMERCIALS, BUT HE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A DECENT PERSON. IT'S TRAGIC WHEN ANYONE DIES SO YOUNG.

I actually liked pitchmen. It showed everything then went on in the background of a commercial. Pity he died in the first season of the show.
