Oddly entertaining infomercial star Vince Offer has thrown in the Sham Wow and is now promoting the Slap Chop. He immediately brings magic to the message by letting me know, “You’re going to be in a great mood all day, ‘cause you’re going to slap your troubles away.”

What? Slapping happiness without the French maid costume? Surely not!

Later he says,“You’re going to love my nuts,” and I become suspicious. But when he tells me that I can change my life by changing the way I eat tuna—well then I know that he’s for real and I’m going to have to get a Slap Chop of my own.

Google Vince and you’ll find he has quite a following. It’s OK with me if he’s around awhile. I am easily amused and he reminds me that most of us take ourselves far too seriously.

Sure, your wife may have left you, your home may be in foreclosure, you may have trouble controlling your bowel movements, but you will soon go around with a smile on your face by repeatedly whacking a cheap food chopper. Then Mr. Offer tells us, “This tuna looks boring. Stop having a boring tuna. Stop having a boring life.” Numerous studies have proven that tuna sandwiches are the primary source of boredom in human lives. Thank you Vince for ending that! (infomercial-hell)

Shamwow Showdown (LINK)
Popular Mechanics tests Shamwow against paper towels. Shamwow wins by a mile. "But we have a proper duel on our hands, and somebody's got to get "Shampowed." PM crowns Vince the new king of the rag ads. Sorry, Billy, but to the victor go the spills."
