The World Is Now Higher Pitched

You might not know Don LaFontaine's name, but you sure as hell know his voice—he's the voiceover announcer guy, having done 500 trailers and 350,000 commercials, according to his own site. He also died this weekend, which sucks, not least because as the above video shows, he was a nice, awesome dude—who was willing to record voicemail messages for fans in his spare time. You'll be missed, Don.
