Polarizing Figure (not that one...or that one)

I am going to share a semi-secret crush with you. It feels a little bit like cheating since I am currently watching my original crush starring in Rocky III on AMC.

Speaking of Sly, I just *love* these Rocky movie marathons. Seeing arguably the greatest movies ever made starring arguably the greatest actor to ever live...on TV-it's almost too much. I know that I am perhaps the only person who would argue all that, but I digress.

Back to my secondary crush... Oh, yes, it's Vince from the Shamwow ads. I love those commercials. I don't even fast forward through them. I love how he says, "hey Camera Guy!" and "you know the Germans always make good stuff."

Last night through the magic of Facebook/Crackbook, I made it official and joined the group Fans of the Shamwow Guy. Apparently I am not alone. That is, if the whole thing isn't a joke.

There is even another group called Let's Go Hunt Down and Kill the Shamwow Guy. I just don't understand how people could resist all that charm that is available for $19.95 plus S&H. I mean, I can get over this whole election mess, and the fact that my guy lost, but these people that want to kill The Shamwow Guy...well, that sort of thing just might be an irreconcilable difference.



ETA: Excellent post DrugMonkey.

Oooh, I saw the Shamwow at a store the other day...was it Target or CVS? Hmmm, anyway, now you won't have to pay s&h!

I have a crush on Chicago weatherman Tom Skilling. He's old, a little plump, and bald. But I love him!

I'm gonna have to look for this guy when I come home for Christmas. Maybe during one of many trips to Tarjay Boutique (a girl's gotta get her fix) I might get myself a Shamwow!

Is there someone else in this world that actually has always.. had a crush on Sly? I was in his fan club in the 5th grade and had his autographed pics sent to me....Everytime I see Rocky movie marathons, it's time for me to sit and watch! I was also seriously considering buying a Shamwow. Could they actually be THAT great?????

Midwest Prep said...

That is funny- I have caught myself watching that one...and wanting to buy....

The Happy Mom said...

Ha Ha! This post cracked me up! I'm sorry but I'm not feeling the Shamwow guy, he kinda creeps me out, but I'm with ya on Rocky! I still remember going to see Rocky 2 (or maybe 3?) when I was a little girl and falling in love! :)

Kim said...

"I just don't understand how people could resist all that charm that is available for $19.95 plus S&H." - hahaha, brilliant! I haven't seen, is shamwow on the east coast?

fashion herald said...

I have a mancrush on Vince. Shamwow will save you $20 a month on paper towels. Do you know anyone who spends that much on paper towels per month?
Still, that is the only commercial I never turn off. Now, if only he would have run for President. :)

Lipstick said...

Giggling at the man crush Da Old Man! and nope, I don't spend anywhere close to twenty bucks a month on paper towels.

Melodie said...

I left you something over on my blog.

I just snorted. My MIL loves him too.

We are just a bit confused Miss Lipstick...

Are you entirely comfortable that MIster ShamWow's name isn't hyphenated? Sham-Wow...?

Heh-heh-heh.
