Members TownsendPLocke Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 Wow-you know when you see one of those commercials and think to yourself"now who in their right mind would buy such a thing?' Wellllll apparently it is a HUGE business. Let's take "The Snuggie"for example.Looks pretty silly huh? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqHSIiAXdSU Belive it or not they are now BACK ORDERED it is so popular. Love the family wearing matching Snuggies at an outdoor sport events-looks like a cult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TownsendPLocke Posted February 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 There was that Australian fella that used to hawk Shark sweepers-(I think?) but unless I am out and about I rarely stay awake long enough to watch late night TV-am I missing anything?

Members nytb Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 Vince and his ShamWow show up rather frequently on the gay cable channel LOGO and not necessarily late at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RA1 Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 I don't know why we should be surprised at Snuggies and the like selling like hot cakes. After all, we bought hula hoops and pet rocks, once upon a time. Something sort of new and different + advertising seems to catch our collective eye. I have no problem with using a Snuggie or a Slanket, after all it has been cold and I like to be warm. Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StuCotts Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Some down sides have emerged, but apparently it's great for those who like to talk to random strangers in the street. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/01/fashion/...tml?ref=fashion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caeron Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 On the subject of the shamwow hawker, he apparently has a thing for female hookers and had a rather ugly incident that got him arrested.

Members TownsendPLocke Posted March 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 I just KNEW he would be a bit of rough trade. He needs to spend some money on a better hair colorist also. And I hope that is a hospital gown under that hidious coat-If is his own shirt the guy needs help.Welll the guy needs help anyway but I am talking fashion choices here.

Members BigK Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 He sure looks better on TV. I wonder why the police report specifies he hired "her" for straight sex? Maybe she's a he. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caeron Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 He does look pretty trashy in the picture, doesn't he? I guess TV makeup can do wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
