Apr 6, 04:41 AM: ShamWOW!
I love the Shamwow commercials with Vince Shlomi, not enough to actually buy a Shamwow, but they still crack me up. This guy looks like Johnny Knoxville’s stun double. I had hear something about him getting into a little trouble so I looked it up. Check this out…
MARCH 27—Meet Vince Shlomi. He’s probably better known to you as the ShamWow Guy, the ubiquitous television pitchman who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers. Shlomi, 44, was arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room. According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently retired with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she “propositioned him for straight sex.” Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly “bit his tongue and would not let go.” Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue.
This story reminds me of an old joke, “What do you tell a hooker with two black eyes? Nothing, you already told her twice.” I know very poor taste (still funny though). If you’re not familiar with Vince or the Shamwow you can watch the commercial on their official web site here.

Yaz got me Shamwow for Christmas. I will have to wash the car or something and use them. She got them more as a joke I think. But I have heard good stuff about the product.
