I tend to fall between Buk and nanook, but I think that Buk is more on the don't judge a book by itys cover, but I do lean towards nanook that if the author tends to allow the huslte sale you might be better served going elsewhere, and the author who generally has some control is creep. I think that in the extreme circumstances like this one I would go with nanook, BUT there are many less extreme examples of as BUK said bad marketting, There is a differece between fear mongering and lying and bad marketting and in this context I am with Buk.

I need to get my own opinion LOL

But I do havbe one actually, the product in this case may be good (or it may not) but it is marketed not only badly but in a "sleazy" fashion (to be kind) and it is endorsed by CW who's endorsement sounds like he does not know much about martial arts and the product that he is cheapenning his name by endorsing. Whoa! how's that for an opinion.

I have heard mostly good things about CB so this endorsement surpised me, what is it a favor for a buddy?
