Tired of that abs freak John Basedow


Don't you love how these commercials air every 2 minutes, or how he always turns his body 45 degrees to the camera for the ultimate ab ripple effect!!

Its kind of a house hold joke at our hose. ill be walking across the living room, and say to my wife or kids (while doing the ab turning 45 degrees)

"Look Im John Basedow" (and muffle my voice kinda nerdy)

Oh great fun. I hate that commercial, and even worse i hate the fake fire inthe background.

Yeah, this guy sucks. I'll bet he's not even five feet tall. I'd like to beat him.

In general, the people you see on TV pushing a product were more or less born with the body you see. I could use their product all day long and still remain trapped in my less than perfect body.
I'm tired of him also, and I've never even see the infomercial!



Napoleon, don\'t be jealous that I\'ve been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I\'m training to be a cage fighter.

Yep, they get lucky in the gene pool of life and make a lot of money making the rest of us feel inferior and inadequate.

Well-
I had the dubious pleasure of playing John Basedow in tennis when we were both in high school (we took lessons at the same tennis facility on the South shore of Long Island). Although he was two years younger than me, he was an unusually small sophomore. I am unsure if he advertises being an endomorph or an ectomorph, but he certainly looks better than I do today!

PS He was an ok tennis player at the time.

He reminds me of that little dude from Baseketball. Here he is, Dian Bachar, sorry no pic, but if you've seen the movie you'll remember him.
