Germans Make Good Stuff

If, like me, you’ve seen the commercials for the ShamWow! and wondered why you shouldn’t track down that headset-wearing human cartoon and set him on fire, you might want to take a look at Elyse’s latest article on Skepchick. In it, she lays out the case for Headset Vince, documenting his victimization by the Church of Scientology. Turns out, Vince used his connections through Scientology’s Celebrity Center to make an awful movie. When the cult found out the movie was awful, they banded together to make Headset Vince’s life a living hell. Now, Headset Vince is forced to pimp supertowels and slap-based chopping devices to fund his quest for vengeance against the Scientologists who did him wrong. If you ever needed a reason to buy a freakishly efficient liquid soaking device, this is it. But while Elyse suggests you buy not only ShamWow!s and SlapChops but also Headest Vince’s terrible movie, I can’t go that far. You might be wondering why the cult would come down so hard on this flick while approving of the cinematic partial-birth abortion that is Battlefield Earth, but you haven’t seen Headset Vince’s movie. Trust me, if you did, you might come out on the wrong side of this equation. Read the whole article here.
