    Default Why bother, Shawn Ray?

    I have just read the MD two part article about the "real" usuage of pro level BB. Three guys everybody knows Dorian, Kevin and Shawn, agreed to set the record straight about what they used and amounts, I guess in the effort to show younger people who read the rediculous mega-dosing cycles that appear on the net, that theres no need to ruin your bodies that way.

    They all knew what the article was about, the questions likely to be asked etc. Dorian rattles of his views and personal usage, Kevin the same. But all Ray manages to do is to answer in forty paragraphs complete dibble and talk about why he wont talk about his cycles???

    Surely if you agree to take part in an important topic, know all to well exactly what will be asked, as well as getting the publicity, you would actually answer the questions?

    True, but he should have just not participated then.

    Just another example of MD trying to play both sides - the fitness models on the current cover ("sex and abs sell") and the "See, we're still hardcore!" quota juice feature article. How many times has Dorian spoke about his cycles in their pages? OK, we get it.

    And I agree with you about Shawn's participation in this. That responsibility falls on the writer and ultimately the Editor-in-Chief (guess who that is?) to reassess the validity and effectiveness of the article once one of the three subjects doesn't want to divulge his info on the matter.

    Fuckin' pitiful...

    I noticed the same thing when I read this. Found it totally annoying. The other 2 went in to some good detail about specific compounds etc while Ray avoided giving any real info at all.

    Shawn not wanting to be left out (still holding onto some attempt at relvency maybe), but still not wanting to come clean. Waste of paper.

    Because they are spinning their wheels over there. You have a control freak who micro manages everything that goes into the print magazine and a bunch of 'yes' men surrounding him. ("Sure, Steve...sure. That sounds great to me!")

    Whenever I spoke up in the editorial meetings and went against him, the room would suddenly get quiet and he would purse his lips in anger. Anyone who worked there knows exactly what I am describing.

    I suppose those incidents all added up and had a hand in my firing. But when I feel strongly about something and know what the fuck I am talking about from experience, I tend to at least voice my opinion - especially when it's something that my name will be attached to.

    Because he is Shawn Ray...and people like you still read it.

    I personally would never look in a magazine and expect to get completely honest testimony about what is considered to be an illegal act in this country.


    But hey, they proved people will still buy it.
