Using a video member to tell people not to pole

tiggertail started this discussion · 12/27/2013

I'm sure some of you might have see this crap but what is even worst to me, because i'm use to hear all kind of shit about pole dancing, is that they use this video. I'm pretty sure i saw it here a while ago i had even talk to her about her fall. Anyone know who she is, i have left a message on her YT http://www.today.com/health/fitness-fails-workouts-you-need-stop-doing-2014-2D11792111

TODAY.comFitness fails: Workouts you need to stop doing in 2014Fitness fads come and go. And sometimes, they inexplicably come galloping back again (we’re talking to you, Prancercise). Some exercise trends could use a little nudge toward the door, though, like family members who stay too long after the holidays. Herewith, a handful of hot fitness fads that have overstayed their welcome for one reason or another. Maybe they’ve caused too many injuries. May

A fad? Funny because pole has been expanding for well over ten years so how is that a fad? We would all be over it by now. I HATE to see things like this BUT everyone is entitled to their own opinions (unfortunately). Don't know who she is but you know what, frig her because pole for me has changed my life. And all my friends and family can see it too, BODY and SOUL. Pole

Oh eff her and the horse she rode in on. She has probably never tried it. In fact, I can guarantee she hasn't. One of my more "prim and proper" friends finally came with me to a pole class and she was amazed at the strength required for some of these moves. She's now a pole convert for life.

I've been staying away from FB for a few weeks now but went back on to write a short response. I'm so sick of the media....
Paula Floyd · 12/27/2013
wow when i went to this and read it...i had to respond. how aggravating!!!
Invertedmonkey · 12/28/2013
Absolutely ridiculous, also had to throw my 2 cents in there. Whoever wrote that clearly is not qualified to be a journalist. Also, wasn't a smart move to try and knock a sport that has some of the most passionate people addicted to it, bet she'll be regretting this article soon...

There are things I will debate to the end (you all know me and you have seen it) and there are some that just are not worth my time. I just cannot respond to outright stupidity from a sensational journalist as the more we respond the higher their "ratings" go.
Phoenix Hunter · 12/28/2013
Agreed,chemgoddess- you just cant rationalize with stupidity. they are just embarrassing themselves. I don't really care what those people think.

What morons.

Lol,according to this reporter,you shouldn't exercise at all because everything can hurt you,I guess sitting on your ass eating bonbons and watching everybody else be active is enough,and I'd like to see the credentials of these "experts" who claim any form of exercising is dangerous,geez...

Hey thanks tiggertail looking out for a fellow pole dancer. That pole fail is me. :) I have sent a rebuttal on their facebook page the other day. What a poorly written article about pole. lol. Skin infections.. I laughed so hard at that one. lol!
tiggertail · 12/30/2013
I knew it!!!!! Just couldn't remember who it was. Hope they enjoy your letter :P
MrsNaughtywed · 12/30/2013
https://www.facebook.com/todayhealth I hope I wasn't too rude. I don 't like being a bitch. lol. But if you use my video and talk shit then I'm going to respond with facts. :P

MrsNaughtyWed, I think you're entitled to being rude even if you don't want to. If that was me they'd done that to, I would be seriously channelling my inner bitch (and she's mean with a bad temper) in my response to them. If she's supposed to be a journalist, she should know better than to use someone else's video without permission.

EVERY SPORT CAN LEAD TO INJURY! Why don't they have a go at ballet dancers or gymnasts or soccer or football players? Obviously you have to be smart and know your limit just like in any sport; be safe. The women who wrote this article really needs to use her commonsense and get her head out of her ass. I think in reality this is about her seeing it as a sexual, stripper thing and this whole "you could get hurt" BS is just a cover for that.

Horrible misrepresentation of pole dancing! I'm insulted! And the same goes for what they said about yoga. I had to post it on face book. That publisher can suck it.
