So by now you’ve probably heard the ShamWow! guy was recently arrested for beating up a hooker in Miami. Sounds like a classy guy. But I’ve found a few other interesting tidbits about Vince Shlomi (he also goes by Vince Offer). He was the driving force behind the failing Underground Comedy Movie, a DVD he sold on late-night infomercials a few years back featuring stupid skits and toilet humor. You gotta wonder why the New York Post said it “may be the least amusing comedy ever made” considering one of the selling points in the infomercial was “girls taking a shit.” Aside from the ShamWow! (You following me, cameraman?), Offer, who also used to be a Scientologist, also sells the Slap Chop, featuring lines like “you’re gonna love my nuts” and “fetucini, linguini, martini, bikini.” … What the hell is up with Twitter? Everywhere I turn, every Web site or TV show I’m watching, people are talking about Twitter. I’ve never tried Twitter, but Tubesteak said it sucks, and he knows what he’s talking about. I’ll try Twitter when hell freezes over and I signup for… I’m not on Facebook, and I think I finally figured out why. Everytime I see someone glancing around Facebook, I see pictures of big groups of people, most of the time wearing some sort of costumes, all having fun at these wild and crazy parties. Or there are pictures of beautiful chicks in European countries or partying on the beach. I guess I just don’t have enough fun to be on Facebook … Today is International Children’s Book Day so I’d like to give a shoutout to some of my favorite books as a kid. As a youngster, I got psyched to read the Berenstain Bears, Babar and my favorite Dr. Seuss book: The Lorax. … Happy 38th birthday to ZEEBRA! Don’t know who ZEEBRA is? He’s the founder of modern hip hop in Japan. … So The Denver Broncos are going to trade Pro Bowl QB Jay Cutler. Tell me the Chiefs aren’t lining up for a Cutler-Matt Cassel deal. Josh McDaniels gets the QB he wanted all along, and the Chiefs get a better QB than Cassel, who probably sucks without Randy Moss, Wes Welker and the best coaching staff on the planet. Don’t know if Denver would be willing to trade in the division though. … I’d like to give another shoutout today, this one to a buddy of mine from Dartmouth who used to work at the good ole’ Standard-Times in New Beige. Nick Tavares was recently featured in the Uni Watch on ESPN.com about making his own Bruins jersey. I’m oficially sick of hearing the word “economy.” … Dear MTV, If you want the Real World to be cool again, try putting more sluts on. Sad state of society? Yes, but good TV? Absolutely. … … Totally awesome concert tour was announced this week. Widespread Panic will be touring with the Allman Brothers Band. The local show is Aug. 29 at Great Woods in Mansfield, Mass. … Chapter 1 of Decent Community’s They Make Movies Better Than They Used To: The Prestige, Sin City and 300.
