ShamWow probably also excellent for mopping up blood

While he's no Billy Mays - and let's face it... who else could ever put together that fashionable combination of logo-adorned blue dress shirts and never-ending yelling - I must confess to getting quite a kick out of that Britney Spears-microphone wearing ShamWow pitch guy, Vince:
As it turns out, a Miami stripper didn't get a kick out of him. She got a several punches:
ShamWow pitchman Vince Shlomi was arrested Feb. 7 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. Pictures obtained by the celebrity gossip Web site TMZ.com show what appears to be Harris battered and bruised following the incident.
I actually own some ShamWows. I don't say wow every time I use them, but it's a pretty decent product. It doesn't live up to it's infomercial hype, but hey, what really does.
No word yet on whether Shlomi used his favorite product to mop up the blood.
