I always said the Fat Boys were the only ones playing the game the way it was meant to be played.

With bacon.

Wow, really don't care.

I thought McCarthy was dead?

Wait, there's a guy named "Timbaland"?

Oh... there is... (new window)

NautACrazyAstro: I thought McCarthy was dead?

You WOULD want that, Commie

I read the first page of the article and it had zero information beyond the title.

Someone care to summarize why rappers and singers would want roids?

I see what subby did there.

/course, I'm sure we all did
//i hope

50 is gonna lose street cred.

Something about anti-aging effects. I think that guy gets paid by the word.

Nobody's business what they put in themselves. fark off.

"I PUNCH OUT DINOSAURS"

mr0x

read: "For many celebrities, the lure of hormonal drugs is their supposed, unproven effects...will aid healing, enhance looks, strength and speed, or slow aging."

and that was on the first page

He doesn't look that ripped to me.

mr0x:

first page, fourth paragraph:

"Still, medical experts say that use of steroids and human growth hormone -- an estimated $10 billion-a-year operation worldwide -- reaching into the entertainment industry illustrates how pervasive steroids use in the United States has become. It is not unique to athletics, where performance-enhancing drug use has marred many sports. For many celebrities, the lure of hormonal drugs is their supposed, unproven anti-aging effects."

Ah ... the great American preoccupation with what everyone else is doing. How productive.

Steroid investigators hate black people!


/and Roger Clemens!

The article doesn't say why. It's not for "anti-aging" effects. It's to get buff and look cool.

Look at Dr. Dre. He is suddenly the Hulk. 50 cent's abs are probably roid produced, and remember when Eminem got (sort of) buff all of a sudden after being a skinny little dork?

I can't explain Mary J. Blige, except that she used to be a crackhead or something and will try anything probably. Maybe she's the one thinks the anti-aging effects are true. Or maybe she got the prescription for the others.

from the first page of TFA: For many celebrities, the lure of hormonal drugs is their supposed, unproven anti-aging effects.

I scrolled to the bottom of the headlines page to see what the asterisks in this headline are for. Now I feel conned.

Dre got freaking huge

Steroids are little condensed essences of Chuck Norris, in pill form.

mrexcess: "I PUNCH OUT DINOSAURS"

I'm shocked that Dre isn't mentioned. His sudden ballooning was awe-inspiring.

"unproven anti-aging effects" of HGH? yeeeeah

How do you think halle berry looks so good at her age?

chemical_angel: Ah ... the great American preoccupation with what everyone else is doing. How productive.

You mean like being preoccupied with Americans being preoccupied?

This gives the youth of America unrealistic expectations and body image disorders!

If kids assume it takes a small period of time to get buff, and then they can't, then they'll go emo and cut themselves.

Won't someone think of the children?!?

ctobio: Wait, there's a guy named "Timbaland"?

Oh... there is... (new window)

seriously?

Wow. Just wow.

What is it with this country (America) and people obsessing over the lives of others? Are these roids offering a performance advantage in singing now?

These are all adults correct?

human growth hormone injections..

That's a lot of butts that was injected.

Wow. Just wow.

WHAT DID I MISS? I don't want to feel like a loser around you guys. Should I start taking cyber-steroids?

This thread is useless without Carrot Top photos.

There are two things Americans can't get enough of: witch hunts and seeing 'heroes' (celebrities, basically) fall from grace. Understand that, and American culture makes a lot more sense, or at least appears less erratic.

Guessing you didn't watch American Dad tonight...or did you?

all drugs should be legal and the government should collect the taxes off their sale. That solves the Universal Health Care problem.

Legalize it all!!!
/Ok, start with the weed.

chemical_angel: Ah ... the great American preoccupation with what everyone else is doing. How productive.

Irony, thy name is chemical_angel.

I'm just rechecking the Give-A-Sh*t-O-Meter...

nope, still not registering.

Well, at least they didn't list Prince and Weird Al Yankovic as defendants.

At least T.I. can take comfort in knowing this is one investigation he definitely won't be involved in.

argoncranes: all drugs should be legal and the government should collect the taxes off their sale. That solves the Universal Health Care problem.

I would agree, except I think there needs to be an extra classification for certain substances that exceed the threshold of recreational-medical benefits/individual-societal cost. Meth and Crack are good examples. These should be regulated far more than something like pot. I'm an ardent opponent of the drug war, but crack being available at the corner store is just asking for trouble.

What is most shameful isn't that some drugs are illegal, it's the punishment. The concept of sending someone to prison for putting a substance in their body or simply possessing a substance (that isn't to be used as a weapon) really gets to me. I don't see the point in doing that, and it reveals that society may inherently lacks compassion or just doesn't believe in the concept of somatic liberty.
