Tony Quinn

Johnny Versace

This man scares me. While I do shop in his shops (to buy Maximuscle products), everyone who works for him seem to be brainwashed.

Remember that newspaper he used to print? "Blueprint for living" or something, that was whacko.

Even that "send me 20 quid in an envelope and I'll send you positive energy" thing. Apparantly that made him a millionaire.

Anyone else have a phobia of this man???

/EDIT... Sorry it's DR. Tony Quinn. His PhD is in Hypnotherapy.

Maximuscle aren't "his" products (http://www.maximuscle.com), I just can't find anywhere else in Dublin who sell them...

I've never noticed anyone buy anything from the little stalls Tony Quinn has in shopping centres....odd.

Is the man himself still alive? Isn't he about 90 years old?

Edit: Oh...I always thought that musclebound old man cardboard cut-out outside the stores was Tony Quinn, but it's not him.

Wouldn't go near the stores myself. For a start there is all those stories about preying on the weak, etc (and I know of someone who was rescued just before he was set to fly out for a £15,000 positive living intensive course in the Carribean), but also the shops are so tiny and den-like. I always imagine that when you'd ask for any product, they'd try to ram the whole TQ philosophy down your neck.

Does anybody remember when he was supposedly hypnotising Steve Collins during his fights with Chris Eubank?
I'm not saying he actually did any good, but jaysus they were a great few fights.

Have bought creatine there because it was the cheapest place in dublin to get it when I got it. Also bought Mind Alert capsules (which have lots of caffeine and taurine in them as well as PABA and DMAE) in my final year of college.
When I bought the creatine, the shop assistant was a musclebound moron bullying a skinny youth into buying a lot of body building products, and asking him to feel how hard his muscles were. On seeing me he tried strating a conversation and seemed mildly perplexed by my not-friendly attitude. Asking me annoying questions like "what do you use for protein?", and really was a little distressed at the answer of just meat. I think he was confused by anyone who didn't use his own paradigm of the strongest people being the best.

I know a friend's mother who ended up shelling out a fortune on those sessions. She ended up travelling to England for sessions and all sorts of stuff... and I know for a fact that their family can't afford to throw away money on some hippy with a bad beard that sells "positive energy" to vulnerable idiots.

Really scary...
