Sounds like the character from Dodgeball

Re: Some people never learn
He has a history of poor taste ads and attention seeking.
Some of us have seen the ads and no I haven't called the police if that is what is being suggested. The owner seems like a vile specimen from everything I know about him and for the record his denials about not approving the holocaust ads are fake.
The reasons cited for legal action are ridiculous, but the whole attitude of the company is that of an arrogant meathead.
I'm being zen about it now, as I assume the people who approve of their unpleasant attitudes will go to the gym so they are all together in one place, away from decent people. Maybe they'll pull a muscle or two.

I have met him several times and can tell you that you are waaaay off the mark with your comments, however, it seems like you have hard on for him so carry on with your character assassination, which by the way is also a crime in the UAE.

You really do seem to hate this guy with a passion even though, and correct me if I am wrong, you've never even met him....

Re: Some people never learn
I haven't seen these ads but they don't sound great.
Still, what I do despise is circuit factory wankers giving it stacks non stop when you meet them, even if you don't know them that well. I thought my very placid, laid back mrs was going to hit a woman who asked her not to drink red bull near her because "she feels sick from the smell of all the chemicals".
If that's the average participant at their gym then ****ing let them have it, I would rather they spent their time there than in the public domain.

Re: Some people never learn
I love Circuit Factory. Most of their advertising is great, even the fattist stuff for which they get a lot of stick. It makes a refreshing change from all the 'Love Your Curves' bullshit.
And I don't mind Red Bull if it has vodka in it

Re: Some people never learn
I wasn't particularly polite after I'd heard some of this stuff, but I'm a believer in letting her stick up for herself if she's annoyed by something.
Disclaimer time: I've got pals who go there and love it and get what they need / want from it. Therefore I'm certain not everyone is a complete plank.

Re: Some people never learn
Circuit Factory have just sent round an email offering a free week of traning to everybody. This was the covering note:
"We hope this free week of training will mend hearts and bring peace to the families affected by our mesmeric stupidity. With abundant love x"

Re: Some people never learn
Most agree that it's offensive. This issue is whether calling the police/authorities is warranted.
I think not using his gym is the best thing I can do to hurt the twat...not that I use gyms - haven't found one with a good bar and ashtrays built into the machines.
