This is true, no doubt about it.

She's a fucking eskimo, what do you want, Cheryl Cole?

And yet the brothel in Yellowknife is world famous.


Shaf knows what I'm talking about

Attention is attention. The best way to deal with people like that is to simply ignore them (posted on page 1105 of thread).

Truth be told, I like a lot of what PETA does and thought that linking was not a bad idea though see how it could be taken as such and it probably would have been better to send them the picture in a more discreet manner and sic them on @fit.

All this nonsense over facebook shows how little control the proles have over this stuff.

Facebook is facebook's platform; it's not your little patch of the internet where you can "self-actualise" or broadcast your "true self". It's a hard nosed corporate money making machine and any idiot who relies on it is an idiot.

I agree Terry, email them the pics and say "this is what crossfit.com is doing to show respect to animals" and watch them go apeshit on Reebok..

WGM, you kind of fucked up there. PETA is pretty goddamn persuasive and they would have went after Reebok and pressured them with something for sponsoring/supporting a fitness company that posts shit like this, you know they would've..

People have made their brand using facebook. I see people who have lied their way to a so-called "empire" using facebook when they don't have a pot to piss in and they are jokes, I see trainers acting like they are Joe Defranco on facebook when they really have no idea what the fuck they are doing...

people are fucking stupid and they are followers, they are easily misled and easily lied to. Its almost a joke how easy it is to tell the world how fucking amazing you are and have them believe that.

WGM went from being someone people in @fit hated to having them make a fucking fan page to bring him back to facebook. If that isn't a prime example of the short attention span and the utter stupidity of people nothing does.

Humans are dumb

I'm actually a little surprised it took this long to get the boot. I knew it was probable back when I first worked out WildGorillaMedia's SWOTs.

This is actually playing out even better than forecast.

Love @fit or hate it, you're a willing participant in this nonsense. You can either sit on the sidelines grumbling and flicking boogers or you can wade into the fray and add to the crazy, one way or another. If you weren't deeply committed to the theater of it all you wouldn't check in here to catch up on the dirt.

Which reminds me: I have a theory. I used to think the craziness and douchebaggery was amping up like a great crescendo before the bottom falls out.

I don't think that anymore. As Cave Canem said, "there is no bottom here."

Instead the crazy is just going to keep spiraling up into heights of lunacy that we would never have dreamed were possible in 2005.

And IGx is at least partially responsible. It's the observation effect: by watching it we're changing it. Whether it's as conscious as provoking people to act demented as they think "That fuckin' gorilla, I'll show HIM!" or something more subconscious, we're all locked together in this dance, so enjoy it.

"I've been fallin' so long, seems like gravity's gone, and I'm just floatin'"

You can't use quantum theory for mundane things. So says the Amazing Randi.

But you are right there is no bottom. And the majority of the @fitters out in the world don't know about the Couch Thread, Drywall, the Gorilla, or the miscreants running HQ.

That sucks. If you're right, theoretically, @fit could destroy the universe.

Apparently @Fit's extensive audit- er, interviewing - process has yielded another undiscovered world record: first woman to clean and jerk 300 lbs! (yes, that's clean AND jerk, you fucking douchebag).

It's also pretty fucking pathetic it took them 10 years and one chance post-WAD encounter to discover who Dr. Karyn Marshall is.

How did primitive man survive without this knowledge?

This is what an expert elite athlete looks like talking about his craft. Expert=knows his stuff. Elite=won something

Yes Jack. I am expert and elite. What that guy is explaining is very good information and even though he's crossfit, he said fuck at least once and that makes him expert/cool. Maybe elite too, Dunno.

We are not worthy.

Consider @fit in light of this...

Training completely at random!

1 hr 18 minutes in, Tim Ferris (author of 4 hour body) says he blew out his hamstring...where else? A Crossfit endurance cert.

So much for learning to run better and injury free.

I remember reading that he did a kettlebell certification though hurt his shoulder. In his last book, he met with a speed caoch though didn't finish because he got injured doing either 20s or 40s and was using @fit endurance to train for an ultra which was to be completed around the time the book was published but.....http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/ultra/.

Tim DNF's more than Bmac. His big goal for 2010 was to pull 500. Fail because he "was doing too many things at once."

Poor BMack can't even come first in career DNFs. How ironic.

So, nothing has changed.

Good to know.

Was there a Gaymes this year? I missed it on the ESPN.

I thought you swore off the Couch thread and IGX, Rant?
