quote: ORIGINAL: subtee Are the shams really WOW? I'm greening up my existence, lessening my footprint, but I use way too many paper towels. I heard or read that a dishtowel is one of the most disgusting things in our houses, so what's an alternative to being Bounty-fully wasteful? Dishcloths and sponges and such are disgusting because they're often used and re-used and re-used without being cleaned. I doubt that shamwows would be any different - they'd be little bacteria breeders under those conditions, too. These things don't get disgusting if you start with clean ones every day and toss the used ones in the wash, maybe give them a bit of a soak in a mild bleach solution. If you really want to lessen the footprint, you can recycle old bathtowels and t-shirts into dishcloths. Old cotton socks are great for mopping up spills and old polyester sweaters make great gentle scrubbies.

slaveboy, you're not alone. i've never seen him either. Reminds me of something....hmmm...[image]http://www.collarchat.com/micons/m21.gif[/image]oh yes...... "..there is always soma, delicious soma, half a gramme for a half-holiday, a gramme for a week-end, two grammes for a trip to the gorgeous East, three for a dark eternity on the moon..."[;)]

quote: ORIGINAL: Owner59 http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0327092sham1.html 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." Ya know....that ShamWow would have soaked up that blood in 2 swipes.

Obviously he committed a no-no by trying to lock lips with a hooker, but I fail to see why he deserved to have his tongue damn near bitten off. If you had seen his commercials you would be sending money to bail her out.

quote: ORIGINAL: MarsBonfire Great. Now I can't watch that commerical anymore without seeing the part where he's ramming his fist onto the sham wow, which is lying on the carpet remnant, to pick up the cola, without envisioning it as the hooker's face that he's beating to a pulp. "No! Wait! Aiiieeee!" "You getting a good close up this, camera guy?" (pound, pound. pound...) "I'm sorry I bit your tounge!" "IT DOESN'T MATTER, BITCH! YOU'RE JUST A HOOKER!" (pound, pound, pound...) "Please...stop." "Look at how it soaks up all that blood, and even picks up the shattered tooth fragments!" Yeah, Firm... your "and she wasn't even that good looking" comment is so funny... Well, I suppose that's true... not any more. Yeah, the prick makes his living talking... and she makes her living being attractive. Now that her face is beaten into hamburger... What do you suppose that does to HER? Oh, right, sorry... I forgot. She's just a hooker... not like she's human or anything. [>:] Sad, sad man you are. Is hate and venom all ya got, Mars? That the stuff that drives your life? Get a sense of humor. Why not castigate all the people who are making fun of the poor guy who got his tongue bitten? After all ... he IS a human being ya know. He makes his living with his tongue. Kinda like the hooker?

Oh, I can imagine... I know a few sex professionals, and most of them say that kissing a john is off limits. Obviously, Mr. Sham Wow didn't listen to that part of the probable negotiation... As was noted before, we wern't there, so none of us really know what went down. But it's okay. If anything has come out of this thread, at least I have some idea of how you, Firm, look upon women. "...and she wasn't even that good looking." (Therefore, she "got what she deserved.") Yup. That's about what I suspected. And you know, it's funny... in your estimation of her... how was it she was capable of pulling down a grand for the fuck? She must have had something going for her... Even if we set all opinions about relative attractiveness aside... how is it you condone a guy who's obviously a gym rat (judging by the physique shown in the video) beating the living crap out of a woman whom he probably has twice the body mass of?

I'm afraid this is just further evidence that your powers of discernment are more than a bit off. That gallows humor eludes you doesn't surprise me, either. quote: ORIGINAL: MarsBonfire "...and she wasn't even that good looking." (Therefore, she "got what she deserved.") Ummm... More like "...and she wasn't even that good looking." (Therefore, "damn... if the guy was putting out $1000 for a fuck and ending up with all that trouble... endangering his physical well-being, getting arrested, bad publicity, risking his livelihood... it could have at least been over someone who was drop-dead gorgeous." Said tongue-in-cheek and with a note of irony.) Sheesh. Lighten up. And how you come up with Firm condoning the guy's actions is beyond me. [8\|]

Well, she certainly looked better there than she did after Shlomi was finished with her: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0330091newsham1.html http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0330091newsham2.html From what I understand, neither one is going to be charged. quote: ORIGINAL: FirmhandKY And the hooker isn't even that good looking!

Owner59 -> RE: ShamWow guy arrested for battery on prostitute (4/1/2009 9:21:20 AM)
He`s going to be paying her a bit more either by law suit or under the table,just to shut her up. She`s famous now (and infamous) .No one will look at that infomercial the same way again.lol He must have been a newbie to being a john,tongue kissing her.I hear that`s a no no.In the few interviews I`ve seen of prostitutes,they don`t kiss or have (real) orgasms or the other special things that lovers do.It`s to emotionally damaging. Those things they share only with an OS.And yes,many prostitutes male and female have SOs. And I have to disagree with Firm.She was very cute before the assault. And I would have payed a year`s wages to see the full encounter unfold.That must have been one mad moment.

"Dishcloths and sponges and such are disgusting because they're often used and re-used and re-used without being cleaned." That's what cleaning companies which make products such as lysol would have you believe- that somehow living in a germ free environment is "healthier". Well, your immune system like most parts of our body is "use it or lose it". Exposure to a variety of organisms in the environment helps keep your immune system strong. Are dishtowels and sponges really disgusting;? This strikes me like the argument to use plastic cutting boards rather than wood. A wood cutting board is better because wood contains all sorts of nice anti bacterial and antifungal agents that the man made versions don't. So eating off of wooden surfaces is a good idea- the bacteria that are left behind are largely benign. This is a typical marketing ploy like bottled water- using smoke and mirrors create a problem that doesn't exist and isn't easily examined and convince people to pay money for your solution. I'll lay long odds the same is true for dishtowels and sponges (well, the good natural sponges, not the synthetic ones found in the grocery store.). Wouldn't bet on this sham wow stuff though. And somebody who tried it said the stuff didn't work too well- it actually wasn't all that absorbent. Sam

subtee -> RE: ShamWow guy arrested for battery on prostitute (4/1/2009 11:14:21 AM)
What natural sponges? Can you give me a brand? I'm still not convinced about the paper towels, because I can toss them in the recycle... There was a green thread recently, yes?

Lynnxz -> RE: ShamWow guy arrested for battery on prostitute (4/1/2009 12:06:50 PM)
It's rare that a woman can do ANYTHING about being brutalized by a john. (She's just a hooker type's can wander off now, I'm just going to ruffle your superior little feelers) For the most part, when a sex worker is hit, raped, or otherwise abused by a john or pimp- she cannot go to the police to report the crime, because she'll get charged as well. It's because of this that there are so many cases where the girls are injured or killed- because the johns think they can get away with it. Most likely, she bit him because she didn't want to kiss, although for 1k, he might have felt that he deserved it. If the attack had not been so violent, this woman probably would not have reported it. Since she ran to the lobby nude to escape him, they were both picked up. Just another case for the decriminalization of prostitution.

Thanks for that post. I got the same negative reaction to Firm`s comments.But wasn`t surprised as I`ve heard dismissive de-humanizing rhetoric from him before. These are not throw away people and I for one doen`t get Firm`s hooker beating humor,gallows or otherwise.

I am very much in agreement with you, Lynnxz.
