He was my favorite TV pitch man, but I guess that job would make me want to hire someone just to punch too. *sigh*

ShamWow pitchman Vince Shlomi arrested for punching prostitute

He's known for hawking a super-absorbent towels on in commercials, but this pitch man found himself in hot water -- without the aid of a ShamWow -- last month.

ShamWow pitchman Vince Shlomi was arrested last month on felony battery charges for allegedly punching a stripper, according to the Web site TheSmokingGun.com.

Police reports obtained by the site claim that Shlomi met 26-year-old prostitute Lenea Harris at a Miami nightclub, and subsequently brought her back to his room at Setai Hotel. Shlomi allegedly paid Harris $1,000 for "straight sex."

That's went things took a turn.

Shlomi told police "that he kissed [Harris] when all of a sudden [Harris] bit his tongue and would not let go," according to the report.

Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue, and then ran to the lobby to call police. Harris suffered several cuts and fractures to her face


I still kind of want a shamwow, but not enough to buy one.

TILT
Granted I'm not pulling down ShamWow scratch but a thousand bucks for "straight sex" seems pretty hard to justify to myself. The prostitute ain't bad looking (well, for a mug shot) but she aint "Thousand Dollar Hot" either.

Did you see *his* mugshot? I mean in the commercials he looks young, his mugs look like Gary Busey's and apparently, he's 44.

I still want a ShamWow and a Slap-Chop. And I still like him better than Billy "The Bear" Mays.

He looks like a psychotic homicidal rapist in his infomercials, his mugshot isn't that far off.

I think it's telling that he had to pay someone to love his nuts.
