Just endured a marketing sales presentation that was introduced under the guise of health improvement.  The presenter was announced as a person who was successful in several different (but somewhat related) types of work, and that the announcer was planning to work with the presenter.  In retrospect, that should've been a big tip-off.

So basically he is trying to scare everyone and freak everybody with scary statistics (yet with no sources, footnotes, etc.), BUT THERE'S HOPE!!!!  BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!  I'm not saying he made up the statistics, but sources are nice! (Sidenote: People can make up statistics to prove anything. Forfty percent of all people know that. :3)

In fact, I went to check on a stat he kept expounding on and... well it wasn't entirely false.  But it wasn't entirely true either.  The last couple slides of his PPT presentation were devoted entirely to the product, it was hilarious.  It is specially crafted by only one person, not on a production line !  It only comes to $180/month so if cut out cable, you can buy it! (It costs $3000.) It's okay if you don't buy, you are already paying... WITH YOUR LIFE!!!!  DON'T YOU WANT TO LIVE?????????  I know people don't want to keep silent a good thing, so if you want to tell others, JOIN ME AND TOGETHER WE CAN RULE THE UNIVERSE AS MASTER AND APPRENTICE!!

Then another guy showed up and he explained he has a sales force of X number of people in different states and he generates a profit of $2 million a month or a year or something.  So yeah, where exactly are you in that multi-level marketing scheme we now so clearly see?

I didn't even mind the extolling of the product (hell, I used to watch infomercials for entertainment), but the blatant lie?  YOURHEALTH'SIMPORTANTHEY BUY THIS TO BE HEALTHY!!  Wow that was so... I feel bamboozled really.  I mean I doubt any one of us are going to sign up to be one of their underlings (we all discussed secretly afterward pretty much how ridiculous it was).  Suddenly it's all so clear, why he wanted more people to attend, and spoke to nearly all of us individually on attending.

And not only did the presenter get there late, the presentation took TWO hours so I got home an hour later than usual.  Ridiculous... and it was originally planned for even LATER.  HAAAAAAAAAAA.

Oh and why did he mention the colonoscope was something we never would have heard of before?  I like giving one-word answers when I'm in a big group unless absolutely necessary, so I said, "Colon."  "Yes, for the colon," he replied.  I HOPE I RUINED HIS ACT, NO MATTER HOW BRIEF THE MOMENT.

Fucking lame.
