Billy Mays!
In case you’re wondering: Yes, that biggest celebrity of them all, infomercial salesman Billy Mays, is in Philadelphia right now. (Or was last night. I assume he hasn’t left yet.) Truly, we are in the presence of a legend. Now where are David Oreck and the Shamwow guy? Idea for GPTMC: Get him to film a spot for the city while he’s here! “Hi, Billy Mays here for Philadelphia. Look, we have Betsy Ross’ original flag here in a wind tunnel and my Mighty Mend It has kept this colonial relic safe.” But then I guess they’d have to give out six nights of hotel stays for the price of one, so maybe it’s not the best idea.

HEY! I want credit for my picture :P
Fixed.
I think he was in town to film a spot at Pat’s for his new product, the Cheese Wizard.
he’s still in town staying at that hotel at 12th and Race. I’ll be watching the Iggles there on sunday. MAYBE they’ll be another sighting!
I can only dream!
hmmmm… I heard the ?-suit-guy that promises free money form the government was recently in town as well… I bet there is some secret society of infomercial marketers in town planning a new wave of diabolical infotainment
That shamwow guy reminds me of a kid on my block who had a lazy eye growing up and his family was too poor to fix it.
It’s been a few years…
The Shamwow guy is Vince Offer, by the way. He has a new add, too; what’s great is the product is introduced as “Vince from ShamWow presents the Slap Chop.” The ad also contains the line, “Stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring life.”
“Yer gonna love my nuts,” says Vince. Classic.
Slap Chop looks good for making a mouthful, maybe 2, of food in a rush. I might get one to make a few gulps of fruit salad on my dashboard in the morning.
Boring tuna is totally why I’m gay.
The Slap Chop ad might top the Shamwow ad. That might only be because it’s new. But I can’t stop watching it.
Fettuccini, linguini, martini, bikini.
Billy Mays is the greatest salesman ever! I’ll buy anything off that guy. I’ll never do laundry without OxiClean! If it wasn’t for Mighty Mend, I’d have all kinds of holes in my shirt. And I’m just going all over the house sealing things with Mighty Putty.
When he says, “But you gotta call now”, you can betcha I’m breaking out the cell phone right away!
We’re totally taking this under consideration. I’ll have my people call your people. Or, Billy’s people, I guess.
