I'm not joking. I'm saying the the information presented for comparason isn't much for conclusive screaming of foul play simply because it's a bunch of physiological crap that there's only so many ways you can say it. I don't have both actual full texts in front of me, nor the source material they were drawn from, because I'm sure NEITHER of them just pulled this shit out of their asses.
I'm not saying they're not similar, but how can one tell, without looking at the source material, if it's that one is paraphrasing the other, or if they're both paraphrasing the same source material?
Frankly, without seeing more information I'm not gonna bother wasting my outrage, when maybe they're both nimrods, or both legit or any number of combinations in between. I don't put it past anyone to be a douche. But I'm not gonna take one douche's word that some other douche is a douche. There's plenty of douchery in the fitness industry to go around.
Yeah, I know. I'd also be the chick that would hold out most likely for reasonable doubt in a trial. I can't see stringing someone up by the nuts without knowing what is really going on. Course, I don't really care here. And neither do youse. I think Lyle is very good at playing into people's prejudices and preconceptions and feelings of outrage. Whether or not it's true, he is sure to paint the picture well in his favor. If he's so outraged, let him sue and battle it out that way.
It's the same frickin shit all the time. The frickin information isn't changing fast, everything is frickin revolutionary, everyone has a frickin gimmick. Whatever. There's just way more important things to be outraged over than this crap.
At least he didn't steal a friggin cookie recipe.
