Now about this Atkins DVD

[TaylorWillix]

Hey Everyone

Do any of you guys know about this Atkins diet? theres a DVD thats just been released, its available at Walmart. I have to say that its amazing. I had been trying to diet for a while but never really had much success until I picked this DVD up. My friends told me about it so I thought I would check it out and I was very impressed. Atkins actually makes dieting fun so if you`ve ever been at the point of giving up like me then now is your chance to turn it all around. If you have already tried this diet and have seen the DVD be sure to let me know because I would be very interested. Cheers and good luck.

Hi Taylor,

Is it true that you work at the company that is releasing this video, Universal?

By your own estimate, how many web site's forums have you posted virturally the same message as you did here? I found more than I could count.

If indeed you do work for the company that has released this video, you have certainly made a bad name for it, and probably have hurt more than helped the sales of this video due to your indiscriminate posting all over the internet. If your future career is to be marketing, I would consider changing it as you certainly have shown no aptitude for it.

I just think it's hillarious that some clueless sod would advertise Atkins anythign on a macrobiotic web site. Guess the company needs to do better market research to predict its potential customer base.

Well I for one am convinced. I'll rush right out get the DVD and then throw a cow and maybe 1/2 a pig in the freezer...not.

Jeesh the nerve, we are trying to improve our healths and are lives here, we don't need people posting this garbage.

I am amazed that there is still Atkins nonsense on a macro site. Atkins died with 70 percent blockage in his arteries. Last time I was checked, the doc told me I had the arteries of a 16 year old. I am in my 50s now. I think I will stick to whole grains, veggies and fruits!!!!

Hi Johnnyzen,

I think you missed the point of what happened.

This thread was not an discussion about the Atkins diet at all. In this case Universal Video is coming out with a new DVD about the Atkins Diet and the person that posted the message in the forum works for the company. He also posted literally the same message about the DVD all over the internet on virtually any forum that he could find that had some discussion related to health topics, so he does not know of macro from mackerel so essentially he is a company shrill. The people that posted here were just showing their outrage over what this person did and my hope is that the poster would see this.
