sounds like the 29'er of the weightloss scam industry, everybody's looking for an easier way to do things.
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

But but, you will be given a BMW, and will gain the power of a thousand suns!
Until you stop producing hard cash from all your friends for us of course. Then we'll strip you bare and leave you with payments on your stupid car.
Yeah that's all I hear about is how everyone is getting free BMW's. What's the deal? Nothing is free in this world
google to the rescue!
good lord

So your next venture will be with Gooch financing a Brothel in Toronto?

I have an ex-coworker who is now a full time ringleader for the stuff. It's a complete pyramid scheme but it's ridiculous how well set up they are. They've put enough of their own search results online that you have to wade like 10 Google results pages deep on a 'Visalus Scam' search to find anything that isn't a video or webpage from an 'expert' talking about how terrific this particular company is. However if you look hard enough you'll find forums and such that aren't under their umbrella (although even in a lot of these forums someone is always in there harping on about how wrong everyone is, and are probably paid well to do it).
From what I understand the BMW thing is once you've made enough money they set you up with a BMW, except you have to actually buy it under your name. Then the company makes the monthly payments on the car for you, assuming you keep your sales level above a certain amount. If your sales drop down or you decide to drop out of the scheme they stop making payments for you, and you're sitting with a crazy expensive car on a contract signed under your name and now you are making the payments on that car.
It's crazy greed-based viral marketing working against the average joe's social weaknesses on a product that people don't stop to wonder why, if it's such an amazing breakthrough, it isn't sitting on a store shelf somewhere solving the world's obesity issues.
That's exactly what I figured. I'm almost hoping my friends get screwed with this.

Ya it's too bad because other than this, she's actually a really cool gal.

From his levels of crotchiness and grouchiness I thought he was 65.
I heard 30" 'ers offer 2x the contact patch when braking and reduce rolling resistance over anything that requires skill to ride. I also heard they make a bike 17% easier to push around technical sections and will get your whitest spandex even whiter!

That makes you like 136.
