Chick, I'd like to serve you with this restraining order on behalf of all PDI fans and athletes.

It's getting creepy, brother!

[Van_Bilderass]

Lee is on the poster but had no idea LOL. Hasn't seen a contract, doesn't know anything about it. What a joke.

Nothing is creepier than you posting naked pictures of yourself "posing" on a 99% male bodybuilding site...believe me.

240,

It looks like at least 2 people on the poster have not signed contracts, despite you saying they all had.
Looking back on how you attacked Shawn about the comptetitors at his show, you seem very quiet about the PDI or do you accept that athletes may commit at an early stage and then drop out?
If so, you owe Shawn an apology.

yawn.  I made it very clear, kev-O, that athlete likenesses are used upon a poster after they give permission.  Every athlete on that poster signed an agreement with the PDI.

Do you know what's in that agreement?  Ummm ya don't. 

They could have signed the use of their likeness for any number of marketing purposes. 

We all know what the standard IFBB contract contains. 

Can you tell me what the PDI contract contains?

Uh no, ya can't.

now quit stalking the PDI.  It looks desperate on your part.

So you find it acceptable that a PDI promoter can use any athlete's image to promote his show if they haven't signed a contract to appear, as long as they have signed an agreement with Wayne allowing their likeness to be used for any advertising purpose?

Please find me a similar clause in an IFBB contract.

The only PDI contract I've seen is one for the NY NOC.

The only one looking desperate is you to defend your reasoning behind attacking Shawn but defending the PDI.

what i'm saying, sunshine, is that when the men sign a contract to join the PDI, they sign a contract.  What is in that contract?  You don't know and I don't know.  but any wise businessman who planned on using their likenesses to advertise, would write that into the contract.

it's like middle school social studies class every time you try to talk contracts, kev-o.

[Crossbow]

I wouldn't go to hackney If you paid me, I'd probably get attacked my Somali's.
Those fuckers are crazy.
Great place for a venue.

There have been quite a few bodybuilding shows at the Hackney Empire and they all have been sucessful and popular. (Good lighting, etc).

Interesting however that the theatre's website doesn't mention this show http://www.hackneyempire.co.uk/ ...

Ok, take it slowly so I'll understand. I know you have your MBA so you must be an expert in these matters.
If you don't know what is in the contract why are you defending it based on your assumption of it's contents.?
So the PDI have them sign a contract that allows them to use their image on ANY advertising?
A PDI promoter could then use ANY or ALL athletes image on a poster to sell tickets even though the athletes have not signed to appear?
Do you think that is is fair on the fans?

Actually allot of places do not put on their website anything prior to 30 days out.  I'm not sure about this place but that's how it is here at some places.

Also, I now understand why Kevin and Issac and Chic want so many answers about what the PDI does even though they don't care.  It is to basically justify what the IFBB does.  Guys face it, you support a crooked and devious organization.  This is a fact and no one disputes it even you.  They have taken advantage of their members for decades now.  Your unbelievable support of the IFBB regardless of their checkered past, supports the fact that you benefit greatly from their existance and no matter what they do that might be wrong, immoral or legally questionable you are guilty from association.  You belong with the IFBB that is clear.  I feel sorry for you.  But I admit you take good pictures.

[Spicy Shushi]

OMG! You guys are missing the point with this entire discussion!

Don't you see the whole message of the poster? I now, for the first time, beleive that PDI has a chance because Wayne Demilia is obviously a MARKETING GENIUS...

He made the one PDI athlete worth shit gigantic on the poster and he made the one who actually looks like shit keep his tank top on and buried him in the corner.

Be afraid, Mr. Manion, very afraid.

I'm sure the Empire will update the site closer to the event.

How can a question about the athletes on a PDI poster be seen as support for the IFBB?
I didn't say hey guys, VinnyG is on the poster but he's not competing, the IFBB is great"
You also went at Shawn over the competitors list at his show.
Now when the PDI show athletes who have not signed to compete and someone asks about it, the best you can do to answer is attack the IFBB and say of myself and others "you support a crooked and devious organization. "
What has this situation got to do with the IFBB?
If 240 is correct and the athletes have signed contracts allowing their images to be used by promoters even when they may not be competing at that show, do you think that it is fair on the fans?
I'm not bashing the PDI or defending the IFBB, I'm just trying to show the double standards applied by some here.


Thanks for the compliment, I do appreciate it

[honest]

Bob an unpaid athletes rep, really says it all doesnt it, the old saying you get what you pay for, and what does the ifbb pay him, nothing, why dont you give Lee and the PDI a break, some of us neutrals are getting sick of it, all this bashing of a federation that hasnt even put a show on yet, we all know most of the guys arent pro level but guess what, watch an ifbb show, half the guys in their shows couldnt place top 5 US nationals.

[Santa Claus]

bumping for Lee to answer....

Goddamn, that's one really annoying person...

[Yorkie T]

the hackney empire's actually a pretty good venue the areas pretty rough in places, but most areas have rough parts. brixton is probably one of the roughest places in london for crime and theres a dealer on every corner but its also got the brixton academy which is one of the best venues in all of london with the biggest bands in the world that have played there(maddonna,U2,coldplay etc)so just because its a bad area doesnt mean the venue is too

Cool.

First, when I heard about it being in Horrible Hackney, I thought something was fcuked up.

But now, through yours and others posts, to me it seems like a fly place.

So I was wrong. Fcuking wrong, too.


And nobody could be happier bout that than me.

You mean this Bob???

Does anyone know when that photo was first posted and on which board?
I'm working on a project about the impact the internet has had on people from different backgrounds and the story behind that picture and subjects such as "meltdowns" would make for an interesting feature.

The smile does looks a little stretched. But that adds to the story, an image gets posed either by the subjext or someone else, then gets distorted and used in hundreds of threads but never in a flattering way.

There is a picture of a Japanese fat guy, it's been photoshopped in any way you could think of.

I am Bob's brutal owning.  When I have no argument, I use 3-year old pics to make insults.
