Australian Pro Grand Prix Posters
« on: January 30, 2008, 08:21:34 PM »
Here are the posters for my show. The first one is printed in A2 & a4. The second one is a giant 5x3 street poster. This goes all over Melbourne and stops traffic. 380 locations, all on busy intersections. That's taking the muscle to the people...

Tony,

Wouldn't it significantly help your prospects if Lee was competing in your show? Why not lobby the IFBB for an exemption so Lee can do his hometown show?

I agree with Ed on Lee's reinstatement.Besides... showing sme mercy will be good image for the IFBB.At the moment people seem to look at them like some communist federation.

Hi Ed, get me on your show and i will tell you.

Truth is I tried and failed to have Lee reinstated. I would love to have him in my show but at the same time I have to work within the framework I am given. Maybe next year.

Nice posters. And now there is a second show in New Zealand, I think the first time this year there are two IFBB pro shows down in the Southern Hemisphere, where the toilet bowl water flushes counterclockwise.

Then have him guest pose! Remember, he's not banned or suspended, he's no longer a card carrying member and there are no rules against having a non member of the IFBB guest posing.

There arent any "exemptions"...you're either in the IFBB or you're not.

Bob, are you still in the IFBB? Just wondering if there's any reason to renew if you're not planning on competing.

Of course I'm in...kind of a prerequisite to be in the club in order to be a representative.

Gotta love the way Bob renews his membership in the IFBB so he can represent the bodybuilders! Something doesn't seem right there. When is the election for pro athletes' rep or is this another appointed life position?

Hi Bob, it would be great to have you in the show some time, we could even do a PBW show from my gym. Did you like the posters? Keep up the good work mate.

What doesn't seem right? Judges, officials, athletes...all renew their membership.

Yeah, Bob, why don't you come down to Australia and see the gyms down here and talk to the Aussies and hear what they think and so on. Would be a nice trip this time of year. It is still summer until about April in Sydney.

Lee Priest is my favorite athlete. The IFBB is so douchtastic they have to keep him suspended. I hope Joe Weider fucking Dies. Fucking homoe. Too bad Joe doesn't think Lee is as Hott as Gunter.

Yeah Being an Aussie Lee is one of my all time fav's as well (and i normally tend to agree with Chick on most things, but i don't want to get into it on the Lee topic with him).......but dude what the fuck is wrong with you, Joe is a Legend and you have no business talking shit like that, what kind of post is that ??? Wake the fuck up to yourself >:(.

Southern Hemisphere, where the toilet bowl water flushes counterclockwise.

Not if you look at it upside down ::)

Another option of course, is to not flush at all 8)

Hey would you be interested in a joint venture where we make potties that flush clockwise for Australia & NZ? We could clean up, pardon the pun 8)

Ever since the 'Aussies' screwed over Cormier for Lee (who was missing both lats) ...i realize that its a joke of a contest..

So isn't that kind of false advertising having Lee on there when we all know he won't be there?
