Recently, a popular culture icon of infomercials was arrested. Yes, I'm talking about Mr. ShamWOW man, Vince Shlomi.
Shlomi (unfortunate last name) was paying a prostitute $1,000, when allegedly she "bit his tongue" really hard. His obvious defense action was to "punch the stripper repeatedly". Of course. When he called the police they subsequently arrested him on charges of felony battery (genius).
Shlomi is the popular spokesman for "ShamWOW", the line of super drying towels. How popular you ask? So popular his commercial was rated the #1 Infomercial of All Time by CNBC (there is such a thing?). But really, it is quite the entertaining infomercial. I could swear he doesn't even have a script... "It's made in Germany.... ya know the Germans always make good stuff." You could say they take the "germ" out of "Germany".
Anyway, this is a sad to the infomercial world, and I personally will be crying into a shamWOW tonight at the loss of their spokesman (it can hold up to 12 times its weight of my tears, you know). (I'm assuming they will fire him...)
You can find the commercial at www.shamwow.com .
