Bodybuilding animations first arrived on the scene in 2005 when some punk kid did it. He was criticized by many, including magazine editors. Yet one man let him carry on with his animation gifs, fake webpages, and cruel-yet-true show reviews: Ron Avidan.
When 240 made a fake undercover pro column, Titus called him up and threatened to sue. Ron didn't cave. When a certain Royal 9th place finisher promised to bitchslap and sue 240 for using creative license on a public figure, Ron told me I had nothing to fear.
Today, bodybuilding animations are seeing their 2nd generation. No doubt they'll be more high-tech and glossy. Will they be creative, edgy, funny, and above all, honest? Time will tell.
