After a lot of soul searching I am leaning towards 'writing in' Billy Mays in November. He works tirelessly to make life better in the USA. I also think he likes watches. Can anybody tell me the make of the time piece in this campaign image?

mdx77 · 23 February 2008, 02:54 PM

Don't know....to fuzzy....but I have to say he looks like he lost a lot of weight!

Yep, that's the one. He sent me the exact same model and I just honed in on Billy May's watch on my monitor.

Hey, I forgot about that picture. I wonder what JJ uses to make his head so shiny?

East Bay Rider · 23 February 2008, 03:09 PM

Nice! There hasn't been a picture of JJ's "Bluesy" for a long time.

mdx77 · 23 February 2008, 03:12 PM

Well, some one had to pull it out......keeping it locked up in his safe!! Platty's getting all the love lately!

I've seen Billy Mays wearing a Fossil too. On some of his earlier commercials.

Billy Mays is a television commercial and infomercial salesman most notable for promoting OxiClean, Orange Glo, and other cleaning, home-based, and maintenance products. His high-energy approach to pitching an array of products has gained Mays a substantial amount of recognition and a rapidly growing legion of channel changers whenever his voice emanates from the television screen.

You'll see in November! This is his campaign 'smiley'

I'm not sure who would make the best running mate????

Chozn1 · 24 February 2008, 05:42 AM

I wonder if Billy Mays realizes there are microphones on the set and he doesn't have to yell as if only people with an ear shot of him can hear him and therefore buy the orange cleaner?

cmr · 24 February 2008, 06:12 AM

i remember several years ago he wore some kind of watch with a orange dial that glowed in the light like a blue sub dial. i have no idea what it was. i saw it when he used to advertise the oxy clean.

Damned if I didn't flip the tv on 10 minutes after reading this thread and bam, there he was, selling some type of scratch remover.
