If you're a celebrity and you appear on TV's South Park, chances are it's not going to end good for you. You're either going to end up dead, in Hell, or dead and in Hell. So you can probably imagine the reaction from the family of the late TV pitchman Billy Mays: exuberant joy and ecstatic excitement.
Billy's son Billy Mays III said on his Twitter page that he was "proud" and "honored" his late father was included in their "Dead Celebrities" episode. He's also trying to get a cel of his father's caricature autographed by Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
He hasn't said if he's gotten it yet or not, but he's reportedly sweetening the deal for the South Park creators by throwing in an extra bottle of Chipotlaway absolutely free. Matt and Trey, call now!

I wish him well, but he should know that the show is animated in Maya - there are no cels to autograph.

He knows. His twitter says "screenshot" not "cel"
So, you know, that's tvsquad's doing.

I'm sure they'll find something else to autograph. Pretty cool that they weren't standoffish like some people could get by being made from of by South Park. And I found the Billy Mays part hilarious in the ep.
