Wow. ShamWow!

Ok, so this has nothing to do with the South Bay, but who can resist. I'm sure you've all seen the ShamWow commercials. Well, TheSmokingGun.com reports today that TV pitchman Vince Shlomi, better known as the ShamWow Guy, went to jail last month following a violent confrontation with a prostitute. The Web site reports that Shlomi told the cops he paid Sasha Harris about $1,000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex."

Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she "bit his tongue and would not let go." ShamWouch!!! He punched her several times until she released him. Seems like this might require quite a cleanup.

TheSmokingGun.com has the story, police report and mugs of Harris.
