FROM SUN-TIMES STAFF
He's known for hawking a super-absorbent towels on in commercials, but this pitch man found himself in hot water -- without the aid of a ShamWow -- last month.
ShamWow pitchman Vince Shlomi was arrested last month 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.
Who hasn't wanted to punch a stripper. [evil]

particularly one that's biting your tongue!
gross, he kissed a stripper! [puke] [laugh] [laugh]
Yeah, there has to be more to the story than this. If she bit him first and he retaliated, why is he the one in jail (other than because he's a guy)?
cause he's the Sham Wow guy?
;D

Apparently she (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0327092sham2.html) was arrested as well.
It also says charges aren't being pressed.
and he looks pretty rough in that mugshot on TSG
Since he had to pay her...
I'm guessing his line from the Slap-Chop commercial, "Everyone loves my nuts!", is false. [laugh]
Damn that fool looks like shit run over twice!
I hate that twerp.

Death warmed over in a pimp coat that is, LOL.
Does the ShamWow pick up blood?

shamwow now makes a hoebag tarp size in your choice of dearJohn blue or twobit berry color
and the hooker was actually kinda good looking.
why would you admit to paying her for sex? why not just say you picked her up and she bit you. volunteering that information is just stupid.

I'd hit that
Why would anyone want to hit a stripper?
They bring so much joy to so many...
As for his story, How can you punch someone in the mouth (let alone the rest of her face) making them bite their lip (See bloody teeth marks on her lower lip) If she was biting his tongue.
And finally why are they calling her a stripper? Shes a prostitute!
I think this is the pic he saw and determined he'd hit it from, LOL. Those hospital shots are nasty.

Hookers and strippers are like jelly clubs - they're the gift that keeps on giving.
No thanks, I'll pass.
Still lovin his pimp coat though. [thumbsup]

Oh yea, she looks like a biter.
I'm not gonna ask how you'd know - but I believe you do. [bow_down]

Seriously! That's like rule number 2 or 3 in the man handbook. Never, under any circumstance, kiss a hookers or a stripper.
I thought that rule was just about going south on them.
They make tongue condoms for that. Seriously.

For being bitten? Wouldn't that be considered tongue armor?
