is Billy Mayes the Cocaine Bear?

[Snarky]

honest question.  also, if played in game would this be a copyright infringement?

Neither of them were real, so.

I asked who this was in game last night and looking at the photo, I don't know who either of those guys are. 

Billy Mayes was a very VERY enthusiastic TV potch man for every product of dubious quality on late night tv commercials.  He was loud and very sure you needed it. 
 

In a shock to no one it was found out he did mountains of cocaine.  
 

There is a current movie out about…Cocaine Bear.  Who found and ate a bunch of cocaine, then found and ate as many people as he could.  And I thought cocaine was an appetite suppressant?

Well, that trailer was a whole lot of "What the ever-loving fuck..."

 

Promising.  I hope it's as good as Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.

 

Also, the Wikipedia article on the real event from which the movie is drawn (and wildly deviates, but it's a dark comedy, so it's okay) is rather dull... except the part about the bear having 75 (SEVENTY FUCKING FIVE) pounds of coke in its stomach.  The bear ate almost half its body weight in cocaine.  Ho Lee Shitballs.

75 pounds of cocaine would indeed turn a happy go lucky bear into a giant honey badger in a dark mood….

Time for a new alt, TV PITCHMAN, maybe Sonic/Psi, maybe a Dom or something?

The Cocaine bear is kinda real.  Story didn't go as the movie, but a drug smuggler parachuted out of his airplane, but broke a leg and died after landing.  A bear came along and ate some of the guy's cocaine and od'ed on the spot.  He is stuffed and on display somewhere.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Well, ya, if the critter ate 75 pounds of the stuff as @Luminara noted, I'm surprised it didn't OD long before that.  75 pounds is enough to sink a pod of blue whales, maybe a few pods.

They took PSH to a taxidermist?  Is that in the movie, too, or will that be a separate film?
