No need to turn down the volume!
Remember all those deplorable product demo ads being shouted at you from your TV? Well no need to worry about turning down the volume when a new one pops up, Billy Mays the King of the loud voice is dead.
I am not applauding his death by any means. I think a man dying at age 50 is tragic, we all know that from Michael Jackson’s sudden death. However what strikes me as odd is that here is someone that we in the creative business stand for everything we fight against yet was highly successful. I guess the issue is not really about his talent for shouting at a camera with a brand in his hands, but the fact that people paid him again and again for his services.However now there is a spot open for the next shouting TV personailty.
Please anyone thinking about it, don’t!
