He’s Back
Remember this guy?
Yep. The ShamWow guy, Vince Shlomi. He hasn’t been seen on air since beating up a prostitute in 2009.
Imagine my surprise when I turned on the television last night and saw good ole’ Vince, minus his annoying faux hawk, pitching something called the Schticky.
But where has Vince been all these years?
If you recall, Vince paid prostitute Sasha Harris $1000 for “straight sex” in March of 2009. When they arrived at Vince’s hotel room, he tried to kiss Sasha who then (according to Vince) immediately bit into his tongue and would not let go. Vince then struck Sasha Harris several times until she let released his tongue, causing facial fractures and lacerations. No charges were filed in the case
The whole incident sounded strange to me. I find it difficult to believe that a prostitute, who had just been paid $1000, decided to attach herself to Vince’s tongue with her teeth and not let go for no reason. Call it a nagging doubt, but I think something rough must have happened between them to illicit that sort of response. The whole situation never sat right with me.
And now Vince is back, and he wants to convince me to part ways with my hard earned money.
Count me out, Vince. Sure, the whole prostitute thing was conveniently hushed up, but your alleged stalking, emotional abuse, and unwanted sexual advances towards your assistant in 2011 is now public record. I’m not saying you did any of these things, but until I know who I’m helping to employ with my cash I’ll stay clear of the Schticky and any other other product you pitch.
It’s gonna take a lot of shamwows to clean all that up!
Ahh. I remember ol’ Vince. I thought it was all strange — firstly because I thought it was understood that prostitutes don’t kiss? Seriously. I was actually told that by a whoor once and I believed her…
I also have to give a “LOL” to Fireblossom up there.
Pearl
I totally forgot about this ‘incident’ until you mentioned it here.
” Call it a nagging doubt, but I think something rough must have happened between them to illicit that sort of response. The whole situation never sat right with me.”
Agreed!
And as Pearl shared….Fireblossom’s comment ROCKED!!!!!!!
I totally agree with everything here. I mean, EW, right?
And yet…
What is a “schticky?” I just have to know…
I second, or third (from Pearl) or forth (from Ron) Fireblossom’s comment but must admit, that guy appears to have some tireless selling skills, so I’m not surprised that he was able to get back into those infomercials for some of the most silly products around. Slimy job for a slimy guy….I guess.
I never knew about reports of that 2009 assault nor the 2011 abuse and stalking stuff. It sounds a little “Schticky” to me too.
A schticky’ is that one of those sticky rolls that remove animal hairs from our clothes? I don’t know of this guy and don’t want too. Perhaps a better use could be found for the schticky….. my imagination runs wild at times.
Don’t know Vince, don’t want to. Hubby’s more into the infomercials. I’ll make sure and tell him we don’t need ShamWows or Schtickys or anything else he’s got.
I didn’t even know about any of this. The guy is so creepy looking anyway. I can’t believe that he got hired again. Yuck!
*golf clap* Heh….gold star for you.
Yeah, I’ve heard the same thing. Curiouser and curiouser…
But doesn’t Mr. Slap Chop’s over-the-shoulder toss of that device into the sink behind him count for ANYTHING?
I’ll admit, that move had style. Heh…
Sounds kind of unsavoury all round, doesn’t it? I’ve never seen Mr ShamWow, though I’ve heard of him. I think I might like his Schticky though.
We have a lot of dog hair here. What did you think I meant?
