50’s Arms
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008 by Fuzz
Yesterday, I purchased a bottle of “Formula 50″ Vitamin Water. For those of you who don’t know, one of Vitamin Water’s top investors is rapper 50 Cent. On the bottle of “Formula 50,” it reads,
who wouldn’t want to live large like 50? that’s just how he rolls. he doesn’t just make albums… he makes them multi-platinum. he doesn’t just make movies… he makes them with award winning actors. he doesn’t just “work out”… he works out 7 days a week. those guns (we mean biceps) don’t come easy so it only makes sense that 50’s drink is large too. it’s packed with the key nutrients he needs to get through his day. that’s why it’s called formula 50 - genius, right? now you too can live large like 50… or at least drink like him. hey, you gotta start somewhere.
First… I was putting “[sic]” all over the place, but then quickly realized that the entire paragraph should just have a large [sic] after it. I mean, the whole thing is a mess.
Grammar aside, the real reason for this post is the sentence that reads, “those guns (we mean biceps) don’t come easy so it only makes sense that 50’s drink is large too.” That sentence kinda lost it’s punch after the reports came out inferring that 50 Cent is an avid steroid user.
From Newsday:
For many people, yesterday’s news that allegations of steroid and growth hormone use had spread from the sports world to the entertainment industry came as a surprise. According to reports, the Albany County district attorney’s office has named not only Blige but 50 Cent, Wyclef Jean, and the record producer Timbaland in an investigation into a possible steroid-peddling business.
Maybe he got hooked after he was recovering from his gunshot wounds back in the day? Nah…
