I should point out that this isn’t a cycling post. My apologies if you were expecting something 2-wheeler related.<\/p>\n

This Is A Rant And Laugh Post.<\/h2>\n

A friend who shall remain nameless asked me, a few days ago, what I though about certain US-based PMA (Positive Mental Attitude<\/em>) gurus. \u00a0A few names were suggested so I had a little poke around on the information superhighway and found a blog belonging to one of them.<\/p>\n

I won’t link it here because a pingback to his site will probably get me countless delusional followers who believe that I’m actually a fan of his. \u00a0I’m not. \u00a0Let’s make that perfectly clear. \u00a0I think he’s a parasite, sucking the lifeblood and money from far too many hapless individuals. \u00a0Thankfully most of them stay at home all day: I know this because people with actual life experience wouldn’t fall for his bullsh*t, would they?<\/p>\n

He’s called Eben Pagan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Google him. \u00a0Read his wordpress blog and be a little scared. \u00a0Then, read the comments his followers leave and be heartily amused.<\/p>\n

I’m sorry. \u00a0I know it’s wrong to mock the afflicted, but if you’re going to be afflicted with terminal dumbassness, don’t post it all over the internet. \u00a0Unless of course you’re happy for me to laugh at you – then for me to post it on another blog to encourage other people to laugh at you.<\/p>\n

Actually, do you know what? I’m not sorry at all, not one little bit.<\/p>\n

Not Googled Him Yet?<\/h2>\n

Ok, if you’re not convinced it’s worth your time, look at these. \u00a0These are actual screenshots taken from his actual blog which he (probably<\/em>) actually writes. \u00a0Click on them to enlarge them and have a read, then come back here and let me know what you think.<\/p>\n

\"Really?<\/a>

I mean, seriously?<\/p><\/div>\n

I know that trolling takes place on blogs. I’ve read Joby’s. \u00a0But check for yourself. \u00a0Some of the comments left on Mr Pagan’s blog are priceless, even moreso for the seriousness and gullibility with which they have been written.<\/p>\n

Here’s another one, with the contributor’s link expanded. \u00a0Have a click:<\/p>\n

\"Love<\/a>

Excuse me but I really have no interest in your Love Bucket, love.<\/p><\/div>\n

Who Is This Eben Guy?<\/h2>\n

Eben Pagan<\/strong>, I suspect, may not be an actual name. \u00a0I have some difficulty imagining his parents proudly proffering him to the Priest at his Baptism and giving him that name.<\/p>\n

You might know him as David DeAngelo<\/strong>, who promised to Double Your Dating<\/strong>. \u00a0That is, to make it possible for you to turn the heads of the ladieees. \u00a0Oh, and to remove the pants of said individuals.<\/p>\n

Hey, maybe he can do that. \u00a0I don’t know, I’ve actually never tried his methods. \u00a0Or anyone else’s I hasten to add. \u00a0I just have a little problem with a guy who uses a different name to promote a different enterprise. \u00a0Call me distrustful, but to me it seems a little evasive? \u00a0I could be wrong.<\/p>\n

Any Ideas?<\/h2>\n

I’ve been thinking how I might be able to get some feedback on this post. \u00a0So far my best ideas are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Tell me your best (possibly fictional but not too adult<\/span><\/em>) <\/strong>self-help technique.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Paste your favourite Eben Pagan advice or comment from one of his followers.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It’s surprisingly difficult to find any negative feedback on this guy. \u00a0Maybe he’s actually an actual genius. \u00a0My opinion is that he is not.<\/p>\n

    The next time my blog goes down, I’ll know who to blame… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
