A common reaction to particular news regarding recent celebrities who passed away has been, "Can't we just let them rest in peace?" Well, if this rumor about a Billy Mays biopic entited Billy Mays Here is true, the answer is "Definitely not". Steve Carrell has apparently been tapped to star in the film, along with Owen Wilson as Pitchmen co-star Anthony Sullivan. As much as I enjoyed Mays, I'm going to say we should file this next to Where's Waldo? under films the world doesn't need.

I love Steve Carrell, and would probably see the movie because of him, but I hated Billy Mays. I thought he was an obnoxious pitch-man, and I always had to hit mute when his commercials came on because he was so loud. My sympathies to his family, but if I never see another of his pitches I’ll be happy.
It’s kind of ironic though. Our best straight friend is named Bill Mays, who’s a sweetheart, and made hubby and I honorary god-parents to his daughter.
