Title: Shamwow!!
Post by: capt. scotty on Feb 14, 2009, 12:54 AM
So does anyone here actually own a Shamwow?

Are they as amazing as the Shamwow guy makes them out to be?

I hate that Shamwow guy. We talk about this at work all the time. And what's up with the snuggies? They all look like cult members.

[size=8]I own a shamwow and it works.[/size] It was a gift.

Yeah the old dude in the snuggies commercial looks like he belongs in a Druidic cult about to sacrafice a goat or a virgin.

if they actually work as good as the infomercials say, then yes.

I tried to find the clip on youtube.  During the Winter X games, they had a random commercial break coming up (nothing big like snowboarding or stuff).  It was during the downhill course and somebody tried to land a big trick at the bottom and bit it.  The two announcers were watching the replay, and right when dude bit it, One of them went "SHAM WOW" in a very monotone voice.  The other one repeated it and then they went to a commercial break.  My girlfriend and I re-wound it about three times and we just cracked up hysterically.

I remember Sal Masekela saying "Shamwow" during the X-Games, but I thought he said it when someone pulled off a sick trick.

Either way, it was funny  ;D

Must have been it.  Your right, either way it was funny.  I think it should become part of people's vernacular now.  you know those X games people always think of catchy things to say.

There was an article in Popular Science or Mech. about this 7 or 8 months ago. Apparently it works pretty well, and that carpet thing actually does work.

I caved in and bought a bundle of them today.  $20 for 8!

So far I've only used it for drying my hands and wiping up a spill on the carpet at work that I made on purpose.

My thoughts:  Sham WOW!!  It gets it pretty fuckin' dry.

The saleswoman told me not to run it through the dryer though because it ruins it.  

But, I'm down.

Shamwow guy arrested for beating up a hooker in Miami

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0327092sham1.html

;D...and he seriously paid this tongue-biting floozy a grand for sex?! she's not even that hot. there's probably 100 hookers in Miami that charge half as much and look 5 times hotter on craigslist.

Perhaps the prostitute may have refused to have sex with him for anything less than a thousand bucks. And I thought kissing was a big time no-no?

I totally thought this thread was going to be about his recent arrest for beating up a hooker!


If you have an old shirt, that is pretty much a shamwow.

ShamWow pitchman Vince Shlomi was arrested on felony battery charges in Miami last month following a violent encounter with a hooker, according to The Smoking Gun:

   Shlomi told cops he paid [Sasha] 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. The affidavit...notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face.... After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi ran to the [hotel] lobby, where security summoned cops. Harris refused to cooperate with officers, who recovered $930 from her purse.

Harris is reportedly considering a lawsuit against Shlomi, though prosecutors "declined to file formal charges" against him.
