Billy Mays’ son, Billy Mays III, is having a Billy Mays costume contest. Say that fast three times! Billy is hosting the Halloween contest in honor of his late father. Top prize…ten bottles of Oxi-Clean. Just kidding!

Billy the third knew the costumes would be coming out, so instead of fighting them, he decided to embrace them. From TMZ:

“Halloween is approaching rapidly and it goes without saying that “deceased celebrities” (and balloon boy) will most likely be a huge theme at every gathering.

There will no doubt be a multitude of people dressed as Billy Mays (or zombie Billy Mays).. it is one of the easiest costumes of all time to put together. (Beard, blue button-down, khakis, prop product, etc..)”

Billy wants people to send him pics of their Billy getups — the winner gets a bunch of prizes … including, of course, a tub of OxiClean.

Ha! They do get Oxi-Clean, but only a tub. Do you think a costume contest is a good idea or a little gruesome? I guess instead of fight something and waste your energy, putting a positive spin on it is best.

RIP Billy.
