Matt,

Stumbled upon your website via Lyle’s and Martin Berkhans work. Just to say this recent hating of t-bullshit.net is well overdue and reading some of the usenet background is even more eyeopening. I’ll be pimping your blogposts hard over here in the UK in an attempt to re-educate the masses!

Keep up the good work!

I think TC’s removal from MM2k was because the lying TC of old did not fit with the mainstream approach Bill was taking. Keeping a douche bag BBr within a mainstream magazine wasnt going to work.

Mainstreaming worked, and Bill left with a supertanker full o cash

For funny…
In 1997, when Phillips decided to overhaul the magazine and focus on mainstream fitness, in came another fax, this time telling Luoma he was fired.

“The people that this company (and others like it, let’s be fair) target are mostly too young to remember this crap. They come in fresh and buy the hype without question. After all, T-Mag wouldn’t lie to you, right? Look at how trustworthy and upstanding and honest they are! Look at all the science they quote!”

So true. Which makes the following quote from one of the links you provided so damn ironic.

TC: “Bradshaw, who made most of his money writing outrageous ad copy designed to pierce the consumer resistance of canny 14-year-olds, told me that anyone who wasn’t rich was just a ‘loser.’”

Matt:

TC left MM2K sometime after it jumped the shark with the whole Body of Life stuff and the golden painted model on the front. I don’t think it was from the “feels like deca” comment, I’m pretty sure it was that Phillips was such a massive egotistical assclown. A follow up of Ami Cusack reveals she’s now a lesbian english teacher thanks to him. Bill Phillips is not only the Crown Prince of Assclowns, but also the Patron Saint.

The original T.net had Poliquin crowing about the Tribex product while hiding the fact he was, at the time, a partial owner of the company. It was all bullshit from the start.
