Sham-WOW

Yes, it's true, I really do think the Shamwow guy is the greatest barker ever!
But don't invite him to my party, he's kind of a nut!

Here's what Wiki has to say about Vince Offer...
In 1999 Offer released the Underground Comedy Movie to scathing reviews. DVDs of the film were marketed via television infomercial.
The film also generated several lawsuits. Offer filed a copyright-infringement suit against
Peter and Bobby Farrelly and Twentieth Century Fox, claiming that 14 scenes in There's Something About Mary were taken from his own film. The Farrelly brothers responded, "We've never heard of him, we've never heard of his movie, and it's all a bunch of baloney." In addition, Offer sued Anna Nicole Smith for breach of contract, alleging that Smith had agreed to appear in Underground Comedy Movie but backed out, claiming it would hurt her career. In 2004, Offer, an ex-Scientologist, sued the Church of Scientology, alleging it had declared him a criminal and had urged its members to "write false and malicious reports against him." Offer claimed that the church's action against him caused him to lose a successful business, as many of his employees were Scientologists who quit upon learning of the church's actions

Bill says that everyone I like is kind of odd and so far, he's right. I gotta get some new friends.
