You've seen the ads. Those "Fitness Made Simple" commercials with the lame but catchy jingle. ("It's Fitness Made Simple...Made for real people!") Now John Basedow has made a promotional video for his new reality show.
Basically, the video is him walking around a mall, signing autographs, talking to people, and getting kisses from women (one woman says "he's sooo hot"). Many people also say he's "rockin' the hair," which I think is a good thing. I'm not quite sure why he says at one point that "the reality crew" with the camera has been following him around all day, like he doesn't know who it is. I mean, the video is for John Basedow TV, but I guess it gives it that reality "feel."
You don't find out until the end that the reality show they're talking about can be seen exclusively on...his MySpace page. Yeah, I have a reality show too. It can be seen exclusively in my living room every night. Of course, I'm just jealous. And his fitness strategies actually seem really logical and effective.

Yeah, I've wondered about this guy for a while... I thought maybe it was a local advertising thing here in the mid-atlantic (I'm in DC)... or at least an East Coast crappy advert...
So is this guy and his fitness program shown nationally on cable networks? I ask because, frankly, the quality of the commercials just look so... locally done. You know what I mean?

I didn't realize that this guy was national... he's always doing events in Long Island. I don't like him. He's like a Frankenstein Monster, with a head that doesn't match his torso...
