Just So We’re Clear

When Barack Obama comes to town, he’s at the Sheraton at 17th and Race.

When Billy Mays comes to town, he’s at the Sheraton in Chinatown.

It seems like this is a good way to mark the relative quality of hotels in this town.

More Billy Mays!

I’ve just been watching this for the last 20 minutes, mesmerized.

Billy Mays!

In case you’re wondering: Yes, that biggest celebrity of them all, infomercial salesman Billy Mays, is in Philadelphia right now. (Or was last night. I assume he hasn’t left yet.) Truly, we are in the presence of a legend. Now where are David Oreck and the Shamwow guy?

Idea for GPTMC: Get him to film a spot for the city while he’s here! “Hi, Billy Mays here for Philadelphia. Look, we have Betsy Ross’ original flag here in a wind tunnel and my Mighty Mend It has kept this colonial relic safe.” But then I guess they’d have to give out six nights of hotel stays for the price of one, so maybe it’s not the best idea.
