Experiment: Weight Loss Software - See Within...
« on: April 02, 2010, 01:34 AM »
Over the next few weeks I am going to be running an experiment to figure how many people will happily download a piece of software they think will help them lose weight quickly and why they do this.

This is mainly because I was talking with my friend about it today and we couldn't help but notice the sheer amount of websites and software dedicated to this topic, all of which charge, and very few of which are real.

The whole concept confuses me and I don't personally see the big fuss, this is why I humbly request fellow DC users input into this subject.

-Stephen

i respect the quest for experimentation and knowledge but this sounds like a good way to make people mad at you.  i certainly wouldn't want DC to be associated with such a thing  :down:

Its not a DC associated thing, and actually not going to be advertised, more of a 'informative' aid, for instance, to see the comments of fellow DC users.

After thought, imma remove the links to download it, but leave the screenshot up.

//This and mousers post where in regards to the software download I was offering, which I have since removed.\\

I think my hair most have lightened to a slightly lighter shade of blond, recently, because I looked at that pic quite a few times and didn't get it...couldn't figure out how not smoking pie would help anyone lose weight. I don't know any fat people that smoke pie. In fact, I don't know anyone that smokes pie.

Then I just looked at it again and realized what it was.  :-[
