OK, I’ll admit it.<\/p>\n

I LOVE that commercial for magnetic screens where people and pets can push their way through without having to continually open and shut doors.<\/p>\n

(Oh, the things we have to endure in this nation!)<\/p>\n

The people are cool and happy and the big dog lumbers his way through the screen.<\/p>\n

But what REALLY gets me is how the little dog punches his way through the screen … what a determined little fella he is!<\/p>\n

And what a GREAT product that must be! … just someone who bought one tell me if it lasts through the summer or looks as torn and weather-beaten as your Uncle Charlie.<\/p>\n

What I don’t care for, however, is that fruit and nut cutter\/slicer guy “Vince” is trying to push…yes, the slap-chop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Vince from Sham-wow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I don’t care for his inappropriate double-entendre or behind the back toss into the sink, either.<\/p>\n

If he’s soooooo cool what happened to the sham-wow, which he also “info-mercialed”?<\/p>\n

Could it be the towel was more “sham” than “wow”?<\/p>\n
