You may have noticed that since the passing of the unforgettable Billy Mays, a lot of his commercials have still been airing. I have no complaint with that. I think it's great and his family should continue to benefit from his charismatic charm, BUT to continue showing a commercial where he's plugging affordable health insurance, to me, seems to be toeing the line.In the commercial, he says "iCan" is the what he uses to help keep his family healthy. I would assume he includes himself in that, and if that's true, they should have been able to get his heart problem fixed.
On the other hand, it's more realistic to assume that Billy Mays had nothing to do with iCan insurance other than doing a commercial for it and was lying about his family using it. But, I'd rather not think of Mr. Mays as someone who would stretch the truth just to sell a product, though that is inherent in being a salesperson. Either way, the message is, a now deceased person with health problems is trying to sell people health insurance and anyway you look at it, that can't be good. I understand they have to do what they have to do, but for the sake of Billy, take the commercials off TV, you freaks.
