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.

So do these ShamWows also clean up hooker stains? Hey, camera guy, you catching this?

“Hey—we can’t do this all day..”

[Steely Tom]

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.

[Las Vegas Ron]

This thread should be a hoot!

Does this have anything to do with that part in the Slap Chop commercial where he says "you'll love my nuts"?

[halfright]

I noticed they finally cut his commercials...he doesn’t say “Call now because you know we cant do this all day.”

The guy reminded me of a Carnie.....Step right up.

[thefactor]

i wonder if he told her, “You’re gonna love my nuts” like he does in the slap-chop commercial.

[EggsAckley]

My favorite line from the SlapChop ads:

“You’re gonna love my nuts.”

They have since removed it.

I met this guy 3 years straight at the Indianapolis, home show. He is an amazing guy in that, he can "Bark", i.e. sell like mad and never lose his place, its an act.

Afterword's, in the cafeteria having a burger and a coke , he's like a normal guy.......

I have no idea what happened here, I was glad when I saw him on t.v. gaining success..........

I hope he finds his way.

On another note ... I’ve been getting spam from SHAM-wow. I NEVER EVER buy any product from ANY company that resorts to spam. I don’t care if it’s Expedia, Video Professor or ANY OTHER well known company. If they are rude enough to spam my email I hold them in EXACTLY in that same light as the Viagra hawkers and the Nigerian fraudsters

[cripplecreek]

Apparently she didn’t love his nuts.

[Pharmboy]

Vince was the best...looks she went over him pretty good. He did something that pissed her off. Sheesh...

[Straight Vermonter]

That’s what she said!

[KosmicKitty]

Wouldn’t that be a “Slap, CHOMP “ bust??

[OCCASparky]

Buzzkill.

[TonyM]

I always though it was extremly gutsy to sell a product with “Sham” in its name.

[BigFinn]

Looks like he got a tongue lashing.

Why is it when you go to one of those home shows, there are always a crowd around these fast talking salesman. We had a Chinese guy, who was selling one of those slicing boards and his line was, "Chop, chop... back and forth... New York, LA, chop, chop. Never forgot him. I also bought one. Hee.

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

What IS he wearing?

[Cathy]

LOL!

I am trying to think of something funny to say, but the thought of someone biting another person’s tongue is creeping me out.

[Cathy]

Looks like a hospital gown with a fuzzy jacket.

[Former Proud Canadian]

You would think that with his sales skills, he wouldn’t have to pay for it.
