Oxygen magazine - gets the thumbs down!!!

[vixenbabe]

Legs, did you find her a tad bit rude as well? My hubby asked her to get our picture 2-gether...She rolled her eyes ,as if to say ,"Do I have the time for this kinda shit or what?". My hubby is a gent, but he walked away from the experience wanting to tell her that he thought I had a better body than her anyways! LOL I love my man so much!

I think she's kinda cute....BUTT...Not as cute as I once thought. Her attitude sucked ! I'm thinking Mr. Weider would have had her head for such an attitude!

Smalls, keep reading doll! I knew you'd enjoy the articles and such!

Hook....I hear ya. Actually ,my mom got me the mag. subscrip. along with Muscle & Fitness For Her as a X-mas gift. I kinda like to refer back so I'd still buy 'em anyways. Maybe we need to bring our mini digi cam scanner's to the bookstores...hehehe

Yea, she wasn't outright rude but had a snotty-i'm better than you attitude.........screw that, i'd rather talk to the fitness pros anyday than her.

Like most of the magazines, (Musclemag, Muscular Development, Muscle media etc.) they start off by giving you some interesting stuff about what drugs are used in bodybuilding etc.

Then when they get you hooked they start advertising the Hell out of their products making wild claims about their products been even better than drugs.

It is a bit stupid in a way, but you will always get people who fall for it.

Typical advertisement in these magazines shows a picture of what looks to be a fat out of shape bodybuilder. The next shows you the same bodybuilder 3 months later only this time in great shape.

But it had nothing to do with GH, steroids, Clen, or any other drug. it was all down to "super dooper thermo anabolic tablets"

Sometimes I wonder if they have any Morals at all, but who gives a shit when they are making billions of dollars each year out of you.......right?

Yes I know what you mean. I used to love Oxygen. I still buy it but I am pretty bored with it now. Contest results seem to be the only thing that interests me and that is somewhat boring now. What happened to them?

I enjoy the recipes in it by the body gourmet guy. Other than that I love looking at the pictures for inspiration. Sometimes there's interesting articles. I just about fell off my chair when my co worker brought her magazine in and said "Look at all the weight she lost in 28 days on Hydroxycut. I think I'm going to try it." I looked at the model and it was Brandi Carrier. I doubt she ever let herself go like that in the picture. I think they just superimposed her head on another person who was overweight. Who knows......

I went through the same thing with Shape magazine some years ago. (I know, Shape, grooooan!) It was great motivation when I was first starting to get into working out, to see the success stories, but once I educated myself about routines and proper nutrition, I realized what a crock of stinky it was. You could set a watch by how often recycled articles appeared, and don't get me started on their religious hi-carb low-fat low-protein fervor...
