RE: Herbalife

Comment comment by Brandon on 27 December 2007

I think Danny and Michaela should be more careful on what sites they post. Posing fake questions on a weight loss website might rake in a customer or two, but a sarcastic post on O-Nerd making fun of crazy weight loss diets probably doesn't do much for business.

That's just it; on a site like this one, the whole act fits in well, but on Omninerd it all just sounds contrived.

RE: Herbalife Scheme by gnifyus :: NR7 :: on 28 December 2007

I was just thinking—"You know, I've heard of Herbalife, but I actually have no idea what the heck it is, or anything." So; like a fool, because I really had more important things I should have been doing, I did some quick research. It seems like it's mainly a bunch of vitamins and minerals mixed with unpronounceables like 'fructooligasaccharides' and 'selenomethionine'. The most interesting thing about the whole product besides the fact that the founder died at age 44 from an apparent alcoholic binge mixed with antidepressant Doxepin, is it's upside down pyramid shaped scheme, er- business model in which the product is distributed. (Multi-Level Marketing anyone?)

So, speaking of diets, I'm imagining that Danny and Michaela are on the fat side of the pyramid, and wish to move themselves to the skinnier side of the pyramid by writing fake blog posts everywhere.
