Well, tell you what Karl...why don't you lead the drive and collect money to off-set the costs for providing these webcasts, and I'll be sure to make sure they are "advertisement free" ...

deal?

I dont need to calm down, just pointing out something I thought was fairly obvious..we try and prvide content FREE to all the Bodybuilding fans arounfd the world, as it is not cheap to put these webcasts on throughout the year.

Bodybuilding.com should offset the costs, its 1 giant advertisement for them, is it not?

We do offset the costs, which brings us back to the original response, doesn't it?

I never said I thought it was free.  It just looks like a supplement commercial.

You make it sound like its a Bundle of money to do this shit, its NOT. Muscle Tech offsets the costs for you. You don't, a sponsor does.  The costs shouldn't be that high to do the series 2gs per episode(on the high side). (2 plane tickets 800, 2 hotel rooms 300, camera guy for the day 2-300, car rental 100) And if it costs more than that, someone is royally fucking BB.com.  The camera work is avg at best.

For a website that makes millions (allegedly) thats pretty sad.

It'd be easier and cleaner to just have a constant ad logo somewhere on the screenshot. Less interference too. Solved.

haha the best thing is that they present the featured bodybuilders like  superstars that make millions and millions $$$ but sadly most of those ''athletes'' have to resort to g4p or selling drugs to make a buck or two.

I have notice that as well when i have watched a couple of espoides from the Ironman series on bodybuilding.com. It feeling like seeing a muscletech add in Flex or watching a info add.

I avoid such crap.
If a bodybuilder who I think is cool, has a DVD out, I'll buy it.

Seems like Will Harris said no to the muscletech commercial...He is the only guy who doesn't have a bunch of MT cans!

You still get the interview and training clips. The guys that do the promoting of the product are those sponsored by Muscletech. That's why Will Harris and DeShaun Grimez didn't say anything about supps, because they're not sponsored by MT. Silvio Samuel did his plug for Muscle Asylum Project because he's sponsored by them. It's not even a big deal.

Exactly.  If you are whining about this, then go cry to NBC/CBS/CNN and every other channel that shows commercials because it's the same thing.

People just enjoy complaining for the sake of complaining.
