Pitchman liked the powder, but at least he didn't beat up a prostitute


Though the deceased have been mostly off limits for me, other than my rant about the gloved one, I couldn't contain my cynical, sarcastic self on this one. Father forgive me.

I don't know who in the hell would watch the show Pitchmen, or infomercials, but some folks are no doubt mourning the loss of Billy Mays. Those of you who have the Crocodile Cutter, Ding King or Lint-Be-Gone, please don't take offense. To each his or her own, no matter how you do your household product shopping.

But do the people who live in this country really need more consumerism pushed in their face? We just accumulate plastic and crap, and then what? No, I do not belong to the Socialist Party, but there's excess with everything, even the holy hog of capitalism.

What's shocking to me is that a guy who got jacked up about vacuum cleaners and sponges was doing cocaine. I mean, next thing we know, the ShamWow guy will be beating up prostitutes -- wait a minute...
