"You know the Germans always make good stuff"

...Wow. "You'll say WOW everytime!" is right, makers of Shamwow. If you haven't already been attacked via your home television, well, you're lucky. In the eyes of a viewer, you're obnoxiously greeted by a lanky man with a highlighted foaxhawk and a headset. A headset? Is he going to be making business calls to sell this product while doing the commercial?
As you get further into the commerical, after being captivated by the blue-ish purple backdrop, you see Mr. Shamwow! spill some water on a black table (great for seeing water...not really) and he wipes it up with a Shamwow towel that seems to soak it up almost immediately.
Although, other people have other things to say about this gimmick. People all over Youtube have been making videos in regards to this infomercial, more so targeted at Vince Offer. With a name like that, I guess he was born to be an infomercial guy, giving people great offers.
In all honesty, I can't stand this guy. His voice, his body language, I can't stand any of it. But he is captivating. He's so annoying that you can't stop watching.

Perhaps the Shamwow should remain a song...
