ShamWow Vince, a true inspiration story

January 26th, 2009 | 1 Comment

While I may have recently sort of  made it a point with tongue-in-cheek to proclaim Vince of ShamWow fame my personal hero, this time I might actually mean it. As it turns out, Vince Offer is not only an infomercial master, but a victim and subsequent comeback story of the abuses of the Church of Scientology. (Like me! No? Not really, no.) It should be noted that all the information I’m typing here is a virtual copy-paste from this magnificently crafted blog. But seeing as how you’re too lazy to click on a hyperlink I’ll give you the rundown: In the late 90s, Vince Offer was a recently converted and devoted member of CoS when he decided to try his hand at film making and began crafting the god-awful “Underground Comedy Movie.” … Read entire article »

Wallace, Robert, Jennifer, Darryl, Peter, Dennis, Charles, Sara, Kimberly, Joan, Steven, Joseph, and Steven, How are you guys? Haven’t heard from you in a while. What’s it been, like three months since I received your letter? Let me start by personally thanking you all for taking the time to have your correspondence hand-delivered to my mother’s house, that’s very thoughtful of you and I appreciate that “go-get-’em” spirit that lawyers being retained by the church of scientology often demonstrate. It really shows your passion for your work! It was truly a legal document with a lvl 6 quality worthy of … Read entire article »

Hey guys! Remember back in March (that’s four months ago for you calendar-minded people) when I went to a protest out front of the Church of Scientology in Washington, DC? Apparently, the lovely folks in Scientology World do, and they sent me a letter about it!! … Read entire article »

Apostropher is essential reading regardless of subject. Evan Insert: The now infamous Jason Beghe teaser trailer was removed from Youtube and Mark Bunker’s account was suspended. The Village Voice ran a really damning interview with him on tax day that’s really, really worth reading. A Current Affair in Australia also ran a piece on the interview, they state that ‘more is on the way from Beghe’ but I haven’t seen anything yet. Really the Village Voice article is the centerpiece here. It was also funny seeing Tom’s podcast on the sidebar while I was trying to find it. … Read entire article »

Are YOU a cause of supression? Come on, think about it. Bah, you know what? I’m not even going to come up with some sort of long-winded, poetic intro for this digest. I happened upon a CoS booklet entitled “Causes of Suppression” on the intertubes – basically a booklet telling you why you should be a scientologist and why anyone who isn’t one could possibly be evil. It even goes into a rather lengthy protocol for when/why to issue the policy of disconnection, one of the more heart-warming things that scientologists do to other people they are supposed to love. … Read entire article »
