Just had another post pop up from some twat looking for 'ten ladies who want to lose weight' before adding that she is a 'bossbabe' and to start her business just needed 'WiFi and a dream.'

The fuck is she on? First of all, what if nine people come forward to buy her horse piss capsules and slug jizz shakes? Or eleven? Or any number other than ten? Does the whole business model collapse inwards?

Also, what if you happen to live in an area where the rollout of broadband infrastructure has been somewhat lacking, meaning that the only feasible option for connectivity is a 3G or 4G connection? Will the mobile data bandwidth be able to cope with the constant motivational horseshit messages plastered over an image of a barefoot woman on a beach?

Furthermore, why the actual fucking fuck are you telling me that I can pay half the cost if I buy a course of shakes with a friend? I figured that one out for myself, and so did anyone else who doesn't have the IQ of a fucking McFlurry.

'Comment below with your weight loss goals and I will recommend a product for you.' OK hun that's great. I want to lose body fat and tone up / build lean mass to the extent where every trip to the beach at Southend ends up with thirteen unprovoked offers of oral underneath the pier. Now which combination of aloe vera and Dorito flavouring will help me to achieve this hun?

'Don't listen to the people who say that these products don't work.' Great advice. Why trust the words of someone who has already found out it's a pile of thundershite when you could base your decision on someone who is a gnat's cock away from owning your eternal soul.

'It's not a pyramid scheme.' Of course it isn't sweetheart, it's a fucking trapezium. It's actually a multi-level marketing scheme, where the level at the top is very, very small, and as you move down the levels get progressively wider and wider. You have an upline and a downline, whatever the fuck they are, and you get to meet them all at a big conference that makes your average Scientology meeting look tame.

You go gurrrrrl! I'm trying to find a way to explain to a more vulnerable friend of mine that dehydrated fruits and veggies in capsule form are not the "magic beans" she is claiming and she could be up for a lawsuit if she's not careful. Suspect she's been snared by someone further up the pyramid and hate to think how much she's invested.

I have family friends involved in Arbonne.

Pure shit.

Half of my FB feed is their Arbonne drivel. And the other day, I got a message telling me all about how X person was trying to get promoted to the next level of "management" Hmm. They all love to talk about how blessed and grateful they are, and how wonderful their team are, and how proud they are of this person and that person, and how they're trouping all over the world to conventions and getting Mercedes' (which, funnily, they've not managed to achieved in a few years now), and how they're "recognising" this and that, and how they're "building empires" etc. I've decided they're just people who can't exercise free thought and are easily led by the shit that other people feed them.

At least with Phoenix cards there is a large catalogue of products, at prices a bit lower than normal retail, of things you can actually see people buying and using.

That for me is the difference - do the end products stand on their own feet with 'real people'

Fucking guilt-tripping me to spend money I can't afford on shit I don't want or need (or can get better/cheaper elsewhere) to enable their dreams of affluence? HELL NO!
