ShamWow Guy In Slap, Chop Bust
TV pitchman battered hooker in South Beach hotel room brawl
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. The affidavit, a copy of which you'll find here,
notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and
lacerations all over her face (she is pictured here in mug shots snapped
following busts in 2008 and 2005). After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi
ran to the Setai lobby, where security summoned cops. Harris refused to
cooperate with officers, who recovered $930 from her purse. "Both parties
had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from their persons,"
police reported. In a brief telephone interview, Harris declined to answer TSG
questions about her run-in with Shlomi, though she did say she is considering a
lawsuit against the pitchman. Asked if she worked as a hooker, Harris declined
comment. As seen in the below mug shot, Shlomi was also injured during the
fracas and, court records show, was treated at Mount Sinai Medical Center. While
Shlomi and Harris were both arrested for felony aggravated battery, prosecutors
this month declined to file formal charges against the combatants. Police
records list Shlomi's occupation as "Marketing," but make no mention
of his affiliation with the ShamWow or the Slap Chop, both of which sell for
$19.95 (plus shipping and handling also plus613 user WTFHMMM didn't read all
this shit.

I occassionally blip through the stations on my shop radio, have heard some of
Emerson's stuff on KUFO.

After Screamin' Billy Mays, Vince barely even registers on the
annoying-douchebag scale. I actually thought the "you're gonna love my
nuts" line was pretty funny, for a commercial. Some stations only run a
different version that has that line cut out.

$1000 should also get you more than just straight sex. in my town, $1000 would
get you blown, anal, reach around, donkey punch, a dirty sanchez, a bill cosby,
all in the same night and you still would have time to get your sister back home
before her curfew.
