Please read it and then forward it on to your friends so they don&#8217;t get caught in the scam. Below this post there is a share button that will allow you share this with your facebook friends and twitter followers. I encourage you to share this post, after all if we can prevent just one person from getting scammed out of their money then it will be well worth it!<\/p>\n<p>So without further delay, I shall answer the question below&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/xRHQvlwbvGQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;Does Acai Berry Really Work?&#8221;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure that if you have surfed the Internet at all over the last few months you must have seen these Acai Berry banner ads plastered everywhere. Usually with the headline:\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;How I got ripped in 4 weeks&#8230;&#8221;\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">or something along those lines along with a <em>&#8220;before&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;after&#8221; <\/em>picture of some dude who is jacked and in awesome shape.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">And you know what&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">These ads can be tempting. I mean when I first seen those banners myself I had to click on them and go check it out to see what it was all about. But anytime I see an ad hyping up a supplement I always put on my <\/span>BS\u00a0detector<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">.\u00a0After all when it comes to supplements if they are legit and work, you&#8217;ll hear about it from real world feedback. <strong>NOT from an\u00a0advertisement<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>After all&#8230; anyone who has an\u00a0iota of sense knows that there is no other way to build a muscular physique than busting your butt in the gym on a consistent basis. If anyone <em>(or any\u00a0advertisement)<\/em> tries to tell you otherwise they are full of sh!t.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, Acai Berry is nothing more then some over priced, over hyped fruit. In fact you could go and eat a handful of blueberries and get more anti-oxidants and health\u00a0benefits. I don&#8217;t think you would ever be so\u00a0naive\u00a0as to think you are going to get big and ripped eating blueberries&#8230; Well, Acai Berries are no different.<\/p>\n<p>Now the fact that these ads <em>(which are plastered everywhere)<\/em> are out right lying and being dishonest about a Bull Sh!t product and trying to scam people out of there money is pretty bad&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>But that&#8217;s not the worst of it&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"94\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"http:\/\/leehayward.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/lee.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Bull Sh!t Acai Berry Ad - Please don't fall for this crap...

And they have released a statement warning everyone to be wary of any website offering acai berry-related products.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, law enforcement officials have yet to catch up to these rogue operators because they operate in foreign countries and they don&#8217;t provide any contact information or anyway to get in touch with them. But sooner or later they will get caught, it&#8217;s only a matter of time, and when they do you can bet they are going to face some heavy fraud charges and hopefully some serious jail time as well.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to read more about the acai berry scam just check out this article on CTV News at:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctv.ca\/servlet\/ArticleNews\/story\/CTVNews\/20090323\/acai_090323\/20090323\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.ctv.ca\/servlet\/ArticleNews\/story\/CTVNews\/20090323\/acai_090323\/20090323<\/a><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"font-style: normal;\"> <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Don't fall for the acai berry scams!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ctv.ca\/servlet\/ArticleNews\/story\/CTVNews\/20090323\/acai_090323\/20090323\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Don't Fall For The Acai Berry Scams...\" src=\"http:\/\/www.leehayward.com\/2009pics\/acai-berry.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Please use the share \/ save button below to pass this along to your friends, you&#8217;ll be doing them a favor!\u00a0You can send it to your facebook friends, tweet it to your twitter followers, e-mail it, etc. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I posted up a whole rant about Acai Berry on my old blog back in November.
