No way, I mean he hadn't been on tv as much but he died? Guess I better google the details.

Wow...he was flippin 92 years old. I remember being a small kid watching them commercials. I always thought the jingle was catchy.

"If you want a brand new car...go see Cal."

And his "dog" was usually anything but a dog. It couldve been a monkey, and camel, a llama, tigers, lions, and bears (oh my).

I always liked the jingle, when I was a kid the commercials were on all the time. KTLA seemed to show the most of them, and since I would watch the action block of shows like "Hunter" that they had on with my dad I'd see them a lot. I missed it when he stopped doing the menagerie thing. I remember he rode Shamu once, lol.

I can't bring myself to say the most epic and wise thing. After typing this, I pretty much biased to a fault.

Yes I see FenrisZero's point, but it's just out of line. Even if Jet was an idiot to take his own life, I feel spitting on his grave isn't ideal. The only thing suicide does to me is make me angry and sad. Angry because I have many things to say, yet I won't get an answer from a corpse. Sad because it's not really glorious to lose a life.

Even though we all will meet our end, someone like Jett could of have been my mother who still to this day is fighting to get well in the hospital. For them to just commit suicide would hurt me greatly as a person. I'd rather cry out of sadness when someone passes away naturally than someone who just takes their life.

Anyone can logic around suicide and stuff, but I detest cold comments in fragile situations like these. I much rather hear things on opinion because obviously if one posts here, they have to say something to honor the dead unless they're just cold as ice and want something trivial like unneeded attention.
