If you love TF2, you most likely have heard of Vince Offer, and the infomercials selling products such as the ShamWow and the SlapChop. You’ve probably heard about the cult of Scientology, that pretty much feeds on people’s money and gets away with all sorts of nasty stuff.
You probably haven’t heard, however, that Vince Offer uses his income from his ventures to fund his war against Scientology!
Snippet from the original post up at Atom.com:
As any insomniac, cokehead, chronic drunk, or really boring vampire could tell you, late night informercials are the best entertainment value for the dollar. Considering that they are not only free, but in most cases actually cost you money, that may not be saying much. So we tend to think of them as scams; beautiful lies just there to bilk us out of our hard-earned money, so that men with expensive teeth can purchase tacky landscaping for their McMansions. But that’s not always the truth – not for Vince Offer anyway: A man who, along with Slap Chops and ShamWows, is also hawking freedom from cultish rule, and long-awated justice for those suffering at the hands of religious oppression.
Even better, one of the commenters links to Vince’s flickr photostream.
