People are not crooks just because they become successful.
Its when they start to believe that the success exempts them from lawful and ethical participation
within society, that they become criminals.

I used to envy, and want to be part of the super rich. I wanted to wheel and deal, and "strut my stuff".
Then I started to learn what it takes to get there. How many lives you may have to run over to "make it".
I guess I was born without that gene, or maybe born with a "conscience". Its all too high a price to pay.

[Edgy]

What a collection of FREAKS! If like another poster said, Americans would just stop paying for cable and all of the other useless products these fools peddle, things would start to change in this country!

Yikes, they are all scary to even look at with their plastic surgery, implants and FAT in Sun Valley, ugh!!

This is where your money goes to everytime you pay your cable bill.

I have saved over $1000 a year for 18 years now NOT having PAY TV.

That's $18,000. And my house is NOT in forclosure.

Smart people don't fall for dumb ideas. Like paying for a TV feed that they would supply for FREE if we refused to pay. They can't control the people or sell them video junk without TV. So if we go bust.... they give TV for free.

Nickel and dime our way back to prosperity. It's either quit giving THEM our money, or loose our country... short of a street fight.

rich old white men and women meeting and putting thier heads togather to find new ways to pimp us and make us like it

I thought it said Alien conference, and the photos didn't help.

Talk about a whiteout!

None of them appear to have obeyed even one of the 10 rules of a Flat Stomach.

[Bluedog12]

Looks like an infomercial for lousy leisure clothing.

Seriously, Ziyi Zang is only after the money! Look at him!! I thought she was made of something more!

[pitneo]

What's the purpose of this media mix? Are they thinking of new ways to tell us old lies or old ways to tell us new lies!

Either way, I'm not impressed!

[whiteboyblues]

Good lord, Phil Knight looks like a half-shaven Wookie

[bigflanman]

Slave labor master Phil...probably looks the same inside out.
