WHY DID BILLY MAYS HAVE TO DIE!?!?!??

Dead at age 50 on June 28, 2009, Billy Mays was arguably the best pitchman in the entire world. That's pretty much what there is to say about Billy Mays, the guy who pitched products such as OxiClean, Mighty Putty, and the quick chop, before the slap chop came around and kicked the crap out of the quick chop.
Despite Billy Mays' obnoxiously high pitched and loud voice, he will be missed because Billy Mays was really cool - almost as cool as Chuck Norris.

Michael Jackson dead at age 50 - end of an era

Pop star Michael Jackson died in his Holmby Hills home at age 50. Most people don't really give a crap, but the "Thriller" album rocked, so Michael Jackson will be remembered for at least another 30 years or so when he'll be retired from discussion in pop culture and preserved in Wikipedia for all eternity.

It costs $4,715.75 to get a license plate in Shanghai, China

Since traffic is so bad in Shanghai, vehicle license plates are auctioned off and are very hard to get, especially for middle and lower class individuals. The price of a license plate in many instances is higher than the cost of a small used car (!). In March 2008, the average price was 32,169 RMB (Chinese Yuan) or about $4,715.75. At one point, in December 2007, the average price of a license plate in Shanghai was 56,042 RMB or about $8,213! Insane.

GM getting desperate: sending spam email?

I think in these uncertain economic times, GM is getting desperate and buying DVDs full of email addresses which were obtained by unscrupulous means. Of course I'm just guessing here, because I just got this email from "the professionals at GMC":

I have no idea how they got my email address. Someone sold it to them, and I'd like to know who, but unfortunately, I didn't add a label to my email address while signing up for whichever service sold my email address (like emailaddy+label@gmail.com) so I don't know who did it. Pretty annoying though.
Is GM really so desperate that they have to resort to sending out unsolicited emails to guys who aren't even remotely interested in buying a piece of crap, poorly built American vehicle? I think it's a possibility considering they are on the brink of bankruptcy.
