There are reports that the spokeperson for ShamWow and Slap Chop, Vincent Schlomi, has been arrested. Not for soliciting a minor, as I predicted in my previous article. Instead, Mr. S. Wow was arrested for punching a hooker four times in the face.
Smoking Gun reports:
According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miama Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently retired with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she “propositioned him for straight sex.” Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly “bit his tongue and would not let go.” Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue.
Apparently Vince went to Miami and was away from all his groupies. I guess he did what any other washed-up infomercial star would do… he hired a hooker.
It seems like a pretty open and shut case until you look at the mugshot.
If you punch a hooker four times for biting your tongue, why do you have injuries that look like you fought Kimbo Slice?
Bail was set at $19.95… but wait!
Shocking Update: A certain nurse friend of mine has brought it to my attention that the ’shirt’ Vince is wearing is actually a hospital gown. The print is called snowflakes. Geeze, this story keeps getting better by the second. Nothing like getting hospitalized from getting your ass kicked by a hooker.
I finally started my gig at WeatherBug on Monday. I can already tell this is a great company to work for. They threw me into the fire right away and gave me a pretty important project to work on. I’m creating new HD graphics for KJRH in Tulsa, OK. Lots of work but I know I can handle it.
I also started writing for examiner.com. Check out my page here. I’ll be writing a daily weather summary for CT or whatever else I’d like to comment on. I love getting paid to write. What can be better (or easier)?
4cast4you.com is finally taking off. Joe and I decided to create an actual company, so I will be incorporating that soon. 4cast4you, Inc will be a forecasting powerhouse and bringing in some dough for us.
I really don’t have any free time. I am shocked how much extra work I have outside of work. Oh well… I am really enjoying what I’m doing. Even better that I’m finally getting paid for it.
As the title implies, I’ve finally joined Twitter about a week ago and have yet to totally figure it out. From what I can see, it’s not that hard. Comment on whatever in 140 characters or less. Easy enough, right? What about direct messages and @replies? I don’t understand them. Like everything I don’t totally understand, I am going to play around with it until it sinks in.
The reason that I’m mentioning all this is because Facebook has taken a Twitter feel to it. Anyone else feel that way? Facebook must have been very threatened by Twitter. I saw a recent MSNBC story about how Twitter has no idea how they are going to make money off their product, yet were still able to raise $35 million in private capital.
I have a feeling Twitter is going to be bought by Google. They own everything else right?
Joe Roy and I had a crazy idea less than month ago to start a weather website. We have put in tons of time and energy into the site and the (mostly) finished product is 4cast4you. Any regular visitor to this site knows how much time I’ve been putting into the new site. We have some more work to do over the next couple of days, but for the most part, we are ready to go.

I just accepted an offer from Automated Weather Service, the makers of Weatherbug software. I’m really excited to start the position. I’ll be working as a liason between Weatherbug and TV stations.
This position is in Germantown, MD so I’ll be living here for a while longer. I’ll have more updates as I get closer to the start day in 10 days. For now though, I’m on vacation
