Note---Before you read the summary, there is great news for TYT Fans:


Summary: Cenk and Ana play and break down a clip of a misogynistic gym owner (they show an ad for the guy's gym later in the video that will blow your mind) on Fox News criticizing Obama's pick for Surgeon General claiming that she's 50-60lbs overweight because she's lazy and makes poor choices, etc. He thinks this will set a bad example for the US with the obesity problem. Cenk disagrees and Ana is (rightfully) PISSED. If you think she's overreacting, make sure you watch the entire video.

3. that commercial is so horrible it's kind of funny
When people are that effed up in the head there is not much to do but laugh at it. What a psycho. I can't believe he was so excited to hit her with the pie. Yikes.

8. She co-hosts with Cenk every day in the third hour of the show.
And the show streams live M-F, and then repeats on a loop the rest of the day and all weekend at www.theyoungturks.com

21. Less swearing would give her more credibility
Even if I agree with what she was saying, when all she uses is coarse language it kills her credibility. If we want to see TYT on the likes of MSNBC they'll need to be a bit more discriminating.

6. Good point, why have this guy on at all. The faux bottom feeders are disgusting.
Is Cavuto's show always this vile?

7. This made me think about a local gym's policy. Need DU check on my imagination here.
There is a local gym that I thought I would like to use because it's inexpensive, it's self-service 24 hrs., and it's close by. The downside is that it's not the latest equipment and is all around shabby, but what do you want for $25/month with no contract?

So I went in to pay for a membership and get a key. I am standing there talking to the owner being blasted by obnoxious music. I have no idea who the band is but I will show my age and bias here by saying that I don't expect a 30-something year old man to be blasting head banging teenaged boy annoy my parents music in his place of business. I was clearly unable to hear him, I would think that I was visibly annoyed after the third time I had to ask him to repeat himself, but I though he was just stupid and perhaps rude.

Now, I'm wondering if that music isn't deliberate. If that music isn't obnoxious and loud to discourage people who don't care for that kind of music. Take your pick on who they might not want in there: gay people, older people, black people, people other than the kind of person who owns this place?

Of course, I'm making the assumption that loud head banging music isn't something most 35 year old men would listen to while working out. I understand that for some people there is an angry challenge to this, a battle between the weights and their body.

But it's interesting how a person can view something as simply as the music and volume in a business.

9. Ana, you are SO off base....
Can't you see what's happening? This isn't a "gym", this is an S&M dungeon for chubby chasers. Cenk needs to have Dan Savage explain to him all the fetishes at work here.

12. OMFG!!!!
:wow:

Why would that woman put herself in a commercial like that? That was so thoroughly disgusting that I think I might just have to punch that prick in the face should happen to see him on the street. Sorry, but I'm just sayin'.

13. Why the HELL
Does Faux even give airtime, notoriety and attention to a flaming asshole like this guy? Man are they the pits of broadcasting, despite the host "support" for the doctor.

Unfreekin' believable.

14. Coop was no string bean either
But that was the first thing that popped in my head when I saw her. She is overweight. Then I thought what if she smoked? She probably never would have been picked, but being overweight is somehow ok for a SG.

16. Look at it another way.
A plump surgeon general is more representative of America than a skinny one.

17. Of course you think she's overweight-everyone in California is thin-right?
Here in Texas she looks just right.

15. This guy Karolchyk reminds me of Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Another sadist who gets his jollies demeaning people and grandstanding about it. And he's popular with the same kind of sadist-conservative crowd.

18. Sounds like a 12 year old boy on steriods.
His attitude is total roid rage. Not standing up for anything this bigot says, just saying he does NOT appear to be all there.

Those commercials actually got aired? Unbelievable! I feel so sorry for the woman featured in the two I saw. He assaults her in one!

I would LOVE to introduce this waste of skin to my wife. Besides, if being a walking muscle is what is considered attractive these days, count me out.

He's definitely an oddball (understatement of the year?).

The guy just recently was shut down for being a tax cheat but he has the nerve to show his face on Fox and point fingers.

How much does Anti-Gym's Michael Karolchyk owe to the IRS?
By Jared Jacang Maher in Follow That StoryWednesday, Feb. 25 2009 @ 1:32PM
Karolchyk has some fat ass tax liens.

As you've probably heard, the mean ol' IRS shut down the Anti-Gym earlier this month, forcing hundreds of self-hating exercise masochists out into the "fatty lazy" world. But while many media outlets have taken great joy in chipping away at the colossal ego known as Michael "No Chubbies" Karolchyk, no one has bothered to report how much the Anti-Gym owner owes to the feds.

While Karolchyk was spending thousands on television commercials and full-page ads in glossy magazines, he was apparently neglecting to pay unemployment and payroll taxes. According to documents filed with Denver County, Karolchyk is on the hook for at least $184,078.76. The IRS filed its first lien last April for an unpaid balance of $115,978.56 accrued during the first nine months of 2007. Last September, they slapped Karolchyk again, this time with a lien for $68,100.20.

No word yet on whether Karolchyk has any debts from his 2008 taxes. But it's clear that the IRS will be giving the Anti-Gym's tax filing a thorough workout

Denver’s Anti-Gym shuttered by IRS, Karolchyk vows to move on

by Bill Husted on January 30, 2009


The worse it gets, the better it gets for Michael Karolchyk, owner of the Anti-Gym, which shut down Wednesday.

At least thath’s what he thinks.

The Denver fitness club became famous for insulting its clients by calling them chubbies and throwing cupcakes at them during workouts.

Karolchyk told me Friday that the IRS caused the closure.

“For two years I’ve been fighting an IRS claim for back taxes,” he said. “My legal team made the decision.”

He’s also fighting two other “bogus” lawsuits, he says, so he figured it was time to pull out.

Maybe his shirt is actually a warning that years of steroid use has left him unable to perform.
