[TRIX]

Refusing a paying customer? For no legit reason

Legal if they post one of these.

Keeps out everyone: hippies, homeless, drunks, weirdos, Jews, coloreds, pagans, queers, cripples, fatties, midgets, Olympia runner-ups, everyone.

From what I have read, he is not banned. Kai has been saying he is banned. Its not true.

Jim Manion is still an asshole.  I once asked him if I could use footage from a booth for YouTube and he said I would have to ask the booth owner, which I already did.  He followed that up by saying "I highly doubt" the booth owner would allow me.  The booth owner had no problems with my use of the footage.  In fact, my asking Manion for his asshole opinion was just my way of extending a courtesy to that piece of shit.  He used it as a chance to intimidate me from using the footage.  Something which he has no control over.

I probably won't be going to further expos, so I don't care about saying this.  Maybe later I will upload the entire account to YouTube, just so people get a sense of what a dick this guy is.  Ron will not bash Manion, understandably, as Ron has a press pass to protect.

Footage, permission, serious bidness.

If it's open to the public I don't see how they could discriminate legally. He should go and if escorted out he should make a scene,
file a law suit and get even more publicity.

heard Dad and the Fat Son added a new division to NPC so they can collect more fees and add another $1M to the NPC magazine's budget.  Ops, the magazine no one has ever seen or read.

For Manion it is.  The man wants to exercise control anywhere he can.  So if someone politely e-mails him asking for permission to use footage, he uses hostile language claiming "I highly doubt" the footage would be permitted by the vendor to upload.

Even though it was perfectly fine.  The point is, Manion is a control freak.  But his power is limited.  It is mostly up to the promoter who gets to use what footage.  Not dick Manion.

Correct.

So why ask? Fuck him.

I don't think he is banned from the expo I just don't think he has a booth. The expo is open to the public.

[WOOO]

Did he explain that grapefruit are part of a balanced breakfast?

You're a bit of a whiny fucking baby.

To gay to join the fray - simple as that.

Also the "Institute For Fruit Rights" informed the authorities, so Kai was rightfully banned from entering the Expo and any innocent fruit in reach.

Kai is a strange man. I still find it distasteful that he has signed autographs as mr olympia. It shows that he is childish and bitter.

[crownshep]

Theres an interview with Robin Chang,i think its on flex online,and he says he`s not banned from the expo,Every other competitor had signed by may so they could be included on the poster,but not Kai.
