Can You Hear Me Now?
As much as we have spread the word about the Kimkins diet, there are still so many who just don’t know. I see it as a responsibility to get the word out to as many people as I can.
I want to thank Awesomeology for stopping by with a question about Adsense Dangers.To ensure the important question was not lost to the comments area, I’m putting it here.
Awesomeology asked: How exactly is that an AdSense danger?
Avenuegirl answered: What a fantastic question, and I’m glad you asked. Big A, have you ever done a google search for Kimkins? I’ll give you a quick summary here. “Kimmer” aka Heidi Diaz created a diet called the Kimkins Diet. She used pictures taken from a Russian brides site to represent herself, and claimed that she had lost 198 lbs in 11 months. After a big Womans World release last year the diet got a big advertising boost, and the site exploded to over 20 thousand members. Then, some people were unable to see Kimmer in person and some were not feeling so well and noticed there were some problems with this diet – that supposedly the founder had done over 5 years ago and kept the weight off. A nice PI got us some video of our diet guru and the rest is history. Not only was she morbidly obese and tried denying to reporters that she was Heidi Diaz, but she has no nutritional certification that we know of and the diet itself appears to have triggered eating disorders amongst a group of it’s members. There is much much more! For one, there is a class action lawsuit that has been filed against Kimkins, and most recently the owner of Kimkins has struck back with a counter suit as apparently she has been caused some stress over the whole thing.
Unfortunately big A, the Kimkins site is still up and running, and by your allowing adsense ads for Heidi Diaz on your site you are providing a portal for people to get possibly sucked into a diet that was created by a fraud and a liar. I say fraud and a liar confidently, as it is the truth and we have proven it many times over. I would hate to see your friends or family get taken by this woman who banned many members from the site for no reason – thus not making good on our “lifetime memberships.”
I know you are just a guy trying to make a buck – and I don’t fault you for that whatsoever. If you would like to join in the cause there is a way to filter out the KImkins ads on your site, or you can look up what I’ve told you and add your own little take on the story.
I want to sincerely thank you for stopping by.
Sincerely,
Avenuegirl
I now see the word really needs to get out even more. As much as I feel like a broken record, it is clear that in this case too much is never enough.
I almost forgot to add! If you are looking for some video Awesomeology, here is a good one, but don’t take my word for it. Be sure to scour youtube and you will see plenty. For some reason this video got a bit squished.
Objects in this video are larger than they appear if you are looking at the squished version;)
