Television pitchman Vince Shlomi, better known as the ShamWow Guy who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers, was arrested at a swank Miami hotel last month after a violent confrontation with a prostitute, according to a post Friday on the website The Smoking Gun.
Shlomi, 44, and Sasha Harris, 26, were both arrested, according to police reports.
According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi told police he met Harris at a Miami Beach nightclub on Feb. 7 and took her to his $750-a-night room Shlomi told police he paid Harris about $1,000 and that that when he kissed her, she "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched her several times until she released his tongue.

Just doing those damned commercials should be sufficient grounds for arrest and prosecution.
*YAWN* If this is your feeble attempt at dissing me for some unknown reason, you're in the wrong league.
He is lucky, she didn’t bite something else instead.
He certainly looks “clean” (Hard Night’s Day character reference).
It is getting little reporting in some places, and has not been mentioned in this thread.
Shlomi (Offer, Shamwow guy) is a former Scientologist.
Is Vince (Offer) Shlomi, “Fair Game”?

He looks a little rougher here:

He reminds me of Bill the Cat.
I'd suggest "Not Guilty", pending further data.
I thought it was all in fun but I see you are testy as well.
I heard whores don’t allow kissing. Apparently it’s true. Billy May must be laughing his ass off.
Now we have to call him the KA POW! guy.
An enthusiasm not shared by the hooker, apparently.
Welcome to Free Republic!
OMG!
If THAT costs $1,000, WTH would I get for $20 these days?
I’m old enough to remember when “a $3 whore” really did only cost $3!
That is also long enough ago, that I could never mamage to scrape up $3.
When he punched her, did he yell Kaboom? Billy Mays want’s to know.
A true “stimulus” payment.
Did he have that insured?
And we know this how??? ;)
How much blood will a ShamWow! soak up in Real Time.
