Buy a ShamWow and help me destroy Tom Cruise!
So, I don’t have any specific problems with Scientology. I do think it’s kind of weird, but I’m a Mormon so I know what it’s like to have people think that your religion is stupid. However, I found out today that I may have inadvertently contributed to an anti-Scientology movement. How you might ask? I bought some Sham-wows. For those of you who have also bought these super absorbent towels, let me tell you how you too have also taken a jab at Scientology. It turns out that Vince Offer, the ShamWow guy, used to be in the Church of Scientology until he was kicked out for not being funny. This comes to me via an Atom.com blog.
According to this blog Vince now seems to have a vendetta against Scientology and he’s using his proceeds from those ShamWow and Slap Chop infomercials to fund his campaign. I’m sure there are many of you out there that will now by ShamWows because you hate Scientology which I guess is okay if that’s what you feel is right. I just feel like I should have known beforehand that my money would go for that cause. It is pretty funny though to imagine Xenu using ShamWows as part of his diabolical plan.
