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).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Legend]

thats sad yet very funny

[RAGING BONER]

hehehe 1st time i saw that guy i knew he was into some type of dirty shit...he just has that kinda face.

[Supreme Alchemist Fan]

But he was so nice and informative. I actually thought twice about buying a shamWOW.

[Megaharrison]

It was probably a German hooker. You know the Germans make good stuff.

[Moonshine]

I love how mugshots look different then other pics, because he looks really different:ho


After seeing/hearing, its not surprising he was into hookers, and even pounded one

[Gymnopedie]

It was probably a German hooker. You know the Germans make good stuff.

:rotfl:rotfl

[Adonis]

This answered my hypothetical "Can Shamwow clean forensic evidence from a crime scene?" question. No. No it cannot.

[iander]

Might have gotten away with it if he hasnt told the camera guy to follow him.

[muad'dib]

They used a trick in the shamwow commercial anyway. :hmpf

[KazeYama]

He should've used shamwow to clean up the blood and semen. And then he could've used SlapChop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPKtBM99kAc to dispose of the body.

"breakfast to go, your gonna love my nuts!" "So easy to clean"
Its like he is advertising to sexual offenders all over the world.

[Tseka]

ScamWow.

If the product sells it self, how come you're advertising it?

[Dr. Boskov Krevorkian]

This answered my hypothetical "Can Shamwow clean forensic evidence from a crime scene?" question. No. No it cannot.

Shamwow was left at home.

That's why.

[Yami Munesanzun]

ScamWow.

If the product sells it self, how come you're advertising it?

no, i believe he said it practically sells itself :beardthing

[Adonis]

Shamwow was left at home.

That's why.

Well...That explains everything. :quite

My faith in the product is restored and I feel shame for ever having doubted it.

[KazeYama]

This may have made my entire life worth while. I havn't laughed so hard in a long time.

[Kusogitsune]

German engineering at its finest.

[Yami Munesanzun]

and why did he beat up the hooker?

because she refused to buy ShamWow! :beardthing

that's my bet, anyways ;33

[T7 Bateman]

LOL. I saw that commerical the other day.

[R00t_Decision]

Shamwow, I knew something was wrong with that guy to begin with. XD

[Sama'el]

You know what's really funny?

A lot of the recent patches for Team Fortress 2 have given the Scout class some lines inspired by the Shamwow guy. And he hurts people :P

[Sephiroth]

What is with chicks and biting guys tongue lately?

[Gecka]

this fucking guy:rotfl

[Cirus]

It looks like he got slap chopped himself, and needed a sham wow to wipe up the blood.

[Batman]

Shamwow Spokesman Slapchop's Streetmeat

[PerveeSage]

she didnt love his nuts :zaru

[Robot-Overlord]

That nothing, Billy Manes Beat up 20 Hookers with his mighty Putty

[Blaze of Glory]

LMAO

The dude looks like some fucking retard from a Nickelodeon movie

[The Space Cowboy]

Don't be hatin Blaze. Vince could probably kick your ass and clean up what was left with a ShamWow. It absorbs 20 times its weight in water you know

(Joking :P)

[Jeff]

Man, it makes me want to buy it more now just because a hooker-beater used it before! He's not committing a crime, he's fighting for justice!

Smart marketing plan if they ever need one, I tell you.

[WorstUsernameEver]

Why, Vince, why?

[LayZ]

"Beware of Shamwow inseminators!" :LOS

This shit is so funny. Looks like Shamwow is going to need a new spokesperson. I nominate Rose from Street Fighter. :iria

[Stephen]

sad but very funny lol.

[64palms]

Why did this not surprise me?
I hate to judge people based upon superficial things, but, yeah.

[MortRouge]

this guy cracks me up

[E]

rofl he's 44 :lmao

[SammyTehDuckie]

rofl he's 44 :lmao
That suprised me too. More then the arrest. :lmao

[lucky]

lol. that shamwow works... trust, bredren. i've worked at tradeshows for 7 years and have seen it and used it myself.


it ain't a miracle cleaner... it just does the simple task as advertised.... sucks a LOT of water!

[mystictrunks]

The Shamwow is about to absorb his guilt. Vince was just getting in the zone to pitch his next product.

[Darklyre]

"Look at this: Just caved in your skull, my bat's still dry. No clumps of hair, nuthin'!"

"If you order now, I'll throw in a second beating, absolutely free!"

Those aren't black eyes..that's just that raccoon makeup that all the girls wear around their eyes these days. :zaru

[Val]

I've always had a bad feeling about that guy:lmao

[Inuhanyou]

I see that commercial all the time...damn now i wonder what the Oxy Clean and Orange Glow guy is up to in his spare time ._.

[Lindsay]

What was this guy thinking? Did she steal his ShamWows? :zaru

[Shark Skin]

He probably tried to absorb her blood by draping a shamWow over her eyes and punching it. He's a vampire I tell you!

[CrazyMoronX]

With his devil grin how could anyone not expect him to be a violent pervert?

[Blayze]

Let me get this straight: She attacks him. He then attacks her. *He's* the one arrested for assault.

Curse us men and our magical evil penis magic.

[Adonis]

ITT: A lot of people shouldn't quit their day jobs in favor of comedy. I ain't callin' no names but I think you can guess who they are.

[Instant Karma]

Well, he did look and act like he was a hop, skip, and a jump away from snapping.

[Pussy Monster]

Lol. The slap chop guy.

I guess she didn't love his nuts, or maybe she loved them a little too much.

[ShadowTeady]

Wow , but maybe he shouldn;t do that again o.o

[Stroev]

Now we're going to do this in real time. :ho

[Talon.]

greeeaaaat....how the hell am i gonna get my ShamWow to clean up messes now? :argh

[Zgizgi]

Oh wow. D:

[Darklyre]

Let me get this straight: She attacks him. He then attacks her. *He's* the one arrested for assault.

Curse us men and our magical evil penis magic.

Actually, they were both charged with felony assault, and prosecutors dropped charges on both of them.

[CeriaHalcyon]

It was probably a German hooker. You know the Germans make good stuff.

:edu :lmao

[Chee]

Dude, seriously, he looks like a meth addict. :lmao

[CrazyMoronX]

My father once told me, "Son, if you ever get a hooker, don't kiss her; if you do kiss her, don't slip her the tongue.".

Makes sense now. It all makese sense.

[syrup]

She bit his tongue...what's he suppose to do...though i guess one punch would probably be enough but alcohol does that to people.

[Miss Fortune]

:rofl What has this world come to!?:rofl

[saprobe]

I heard that other pitch man Billy Mays on Adam Carolla a while back. Apparently he and that Vince guy had an epic pitch man rivalry. Somewhere he's yelling at the top of his lungs about how awesome this story is.

This is how he feels about it:

[Aina]

First reaction....:rofl
Second reaction...:facepalm
Third reaction..:oh That was pretty sad.

[Aldrick]

[Caelus]

Right away I thought of the line "You followin' me camera guy?", just way more aggressive. This is hilarious though.

[sliv3r]
