They went off on how bad these are on O&A. If you watch the infomercial they cut the camera multiple times during the demo. ---

Bump Shamwow was called out by Billy Mays (_In a radio interview on Feb. 10, 2009, infomercial superstar Billy Mays claimed that the popular Shamwow has trod on the turf of Zorbeez, a super-absorbent towel he promoted in a separate infomercial about two years prior._ Zorbeez is the most absorbent towel in the world, Mays said in the interview. Vince, host of the Shamwow ad, has now “unleashed and woken up the sleeping giant,” Mays said, suggesting the two settle the score via a “pitch-off.” Mays predicted the outcome: “Shampow!” ) So popular mechanics tested it [http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/home\_journal\_news/4309587.html](http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/home_journal_news/4309587.html) X… P.S. shamWOW ---
