Times Are Tough

This economic crisis is getting serious. It's starting to affect damn near every last person in this country, including the one man I thought would pull through this thing untouched: Billy Mays. Who is Billy Mays, you ask? This, is Billy Mays:

And he is the baddest m-fer in the space-age cleaner and revolutionary-household- items sales game. This guy could sell an ice cube to an eskimo, but he would never do something like that because he believed in only selling products that people really needed, like Zorbeez and The Handy Switch. His informative commercials brought to the world products we can now hardly imagine living without, like the Hercules Hook.
Whenever you saw that blue shirt and heard him get to yellin', you knew you were about to be introduced to a product that would add real value to your life. He was at the top of his game and admired by his peers, competitors, and countrymen. That was the case, until now. I can hardly post this video without feeling a sickening mix of shame, abandonment, and anger:

Damn it Billy, insurance? Are times that tough that you need to whore yourself out like WB?
You do realize his greatest career achievement was as a CO-STAR to these things?:

And now you're at his level-truly disappointing.
Now, you were almost caught actin' a biatch selling The Steam Buddy, but I let that one slide, because after further review, I realized it was a solid product; the on-demand steaming element is truly cutting edge. But this sin is unforgivable. Man, you're no better than this d.b. now:

I guess I've got to hit you with that Ron Popeil line and say set it and forget it to that career.
