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.

One look at the guy tells anyone he is a jerk, a creep and a deviant.

[Mr. K]

"Can the shamwow can be used as a contraceptive sponge?"

You are one sick puppy... how did you even THINK about that?

[GSWarrior]

A weak moment, I guess. I don’t even know what one looks like.

[Armedanddangerous]

I thought it was kinda funny..but then Im wierd.

[fso301]

What kind of asswipe would kiss a prostitute?

The kind who have FR threads like this about him.

What kind of asswipe would kiss a prostitute?

LOL! He probably even looked her in the eye.

[6SJ7]

LOL! A bad hair day, bad face day, and bad clothing day. It’s the trifecta.

[Ouderkirk]

Instant Mashed Potatoes.

They look good at a distance...but when you get right down to it there isn’t really a hell of a lot of substance or flavor.

I know her...she has a tattoo on the top of her head which reads: Let go of my ears, I know what I’m doing.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Scrub her down with lye soap, a liitle make up, hair style and I bet Bill Clinton would want to “feel your pain!”

At my age all I can do is wish! How come I didn’t see anything like you in south East Asia forty years ago!:-(

she suddenly "bit his tongue and would not let go."

I wish someone would introduce her to Billy Mays.

The guy’s 44 years old and still wearing his hair in a faux-hawk. Plus, he does infomercials. If that doesn’t scream Douche-o-rama, I don’t rightly know what does. His punishment should be to watch an endless loop of Billy Mays’ infomercials for at least 6 months.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

And to think that I thought he was gay...he must be selling lots of Shamwows to afford the room and the high-priced hooker.

[BikerJoe]

It’s a wonder what they can do with make-up

I'll never be able to watch that commercial again without thinking "Doesn't he look natural?"

[BenLurkin]

Those photos were supposedly taken 3 years apart. I'm guessing the one on the right is the later pic — certain types of people seem to get degraded looks very quickly.

Just one question though — is she wearing the same blouse three years later or does she just like that color? (Note that the 2005 photo she has it on inside out and backwards.)

“She looks like a fun girl.”

But she’s a prostitute. Countless guys have already hit it and she’s probably completely wrecked where you’d be wanting to spend most of your time and efforts.

I wouldn’t hit it if she was offering it up for free. No amount of soap could clean that up sufficiently.

[IrishPennant]

Some would try to clean her up

[fanfan]

Oh come on....

So guilty!

Psycho guilty.
