If I ever see anybody wearing one of those things seriously, I’m gonna act interested and ask to have my pic taken with them.
Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

I mention it on the news once a day now. Close to that at least. It’s a running joke on the set. I’ve had viewers offer to send me one.

Video is needed.

Also, why was i under the impression that you were a “writing” journalist?

I much prefer writing to broadcast journalism. Started out in print. I write for two blogs and a handful of publications, but I can fairly be tagged as a knuckle-dragging television news type. That reputation has been carefully earned.

Was on the phone with my mother today and she informed me she actually purchased one. Felt I had to share it with my fellow LGTers.

Of course she had. It’s too difficult to even be on the phone with a regular blanket on.

Why are they so popular? Shouldn’t people be cautious with their money right now? Is this the point at which aimless consumerism finally bankrupts us?

Speaking of saving money, I bought a ShamWow and saved $20 a month on paper towels!

I bought 100 ShamWows and now I’m socking away $2000 a month I would have spent on paper towels!

I heard a crazy story that the ShamWow guy is a former Scientologist who is using all the proceeds to fight the Church of Scientology.

Skepchick is pretty dang reliable. They tend to know their stuff, or at least post corrections if they’re wrong.

Good to know. I’d never heard of it. I found it with Stumble.

Which makes me realize: How does Stumble know I was interested in ShamWow websites?

Stumble knows all.
I’m a regular Skepchick reader fwiw.

Deleted political content. It wasn’t so bad, but bringing in politics so that you can mention something about a shamwow? Pass.
