    If they still had Celebrity Deathmatch on MTV, I'd love to see this guy take on Billy Mays...

    Apparently Shamwow can't afford a boom mic, and he has to use one of those Gwen Stefani face mics...

    He's so convincing I can't believe he hasn't advanced to greater career heights. I think I have to get me some Shamwow! :)

    my buddy got me a set of these for my birthday, and at that moment, happier i could not be.

    however, don't believe the hype. apparently this is the one thing germans fucked up on (other than that other thing).

    i like the parody on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A9fmnAsgdg

    i imagine this is how bostonlou sounds :)

    I want to punch that dude in the face but I can't stop watching him every time its on.
    That slap-chop gizmo he sells is far more entertaining than the Shamwow for my money though
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    I love to turn you on

    Billy Mays always badmouths the Shamwow fella because he knocked-off Billy's product.

    I love how he uses the word "cola".....do people still call it that?

    This morning, I knocked my bedside glass of diet coke onto the carpet......I immediately thought of using a Shamwow!

    Nope, it was diet COKE!
    :)

    I knocked it over while I was in the middle of a dream....I think I was hitting someone! Right after it happened, my girlfriend jumped out of bed to clean it up....kinda trippy!

    Maybe you tried to hit her...and she was rushing to get out of the way?

    Not really but it kinda helped. It was more of a joke and I split the cost with someone. But they work great in the kitchen wiping up excess water.

    I have no idea how much validity there is to this story, but this guy's on my "good people" list just based on the fact that it could be true...
