I'm still not sure if this idea is in bad taste or awesomely bad ass.

The scribes over at the uber popular Yo Beat snowboarding blog have memorialized legendary salesman Billy Mays on a commemorative t-shirt.

If you're wondering what connection Billy had to action sports, back in November Billy was featured in a much-hyped DC Snowboards infomercial that made the rounds on YouTube and forever solidified him as a bro.

Truth be told, the design and image is rather flattering --- one I'm sure his fans, friends and family would appreciate. And in the wake of both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson's enormously publicized deaths, it's (don't hate me for saying this) refreshing if not endearing.

In his own right, Billy Mays should be remembered as the greatest product pitchman of our time. So while a snowboarding tee may not be the most apropos way to honor his legacy, kudos to Yo Beat for giving him his due.
