One other quick update:

Lest you ever doubt the power of Consumed, please note that after I wrote about Billy Mays in the October 24, 2008 installment of the column, the creator of BillyMaysRules.com not only got an autographed picture of Mays — but a rare Mays bobblehead doll! (More here.) How about that?

I meant to mention this earlier, but was just reminded of Mays by AdFreak, which reports that ESPN360.com is using Mays in some ads: “They’re almost parodies of parodies, so unrelentingly stupid that they’re amazingly effective.”

Further diversion may be found at MKTG Tumblr, and the Consumed Facebook page.
