I'm calling Shenanigans on Vince's ShamWow commercial!
During the commercial, there is a scene from some sort of fair or something. There's a tent with some sort of ShamWow distributor. Several people have bought the ShamWow at the tent, as they're holding their purchase. Yet, they speak of their PREVIOUS experience with the ShamWow! "I don't even buy paper towels any more!" says one of them.

This draws me to a choice of conclusions:

1. They're actors paid by the Germans to promote the ShamWow;

2. The ShamWow is crap, and these poor folks had to buy replacements at the fair;

3. These customers are filthy, awful liars.

To me, this will forever be a blemish on ShamWow's record.

7. Are you saying flvegan has a boring life?
I know he has a boring tuna because he leaves it at the store and gets something else, but he lives in the North American Fucking Idiot Preserve so there's no possible way he should have a boring life.

9. Definitely not.
I mean, none of his neighbors have been arrested this week that I know of, but his job is still insane, he still has twelve previously abused dogs in his house (he adopted one out! :woohoo: ) and he's still dating me.

Poor thing. :scared:

RE: the purchasers at the tent, though--perhaps they're such big fans of the product that they're buying an additional supply to replace the ones they've used up?
