Oh no... what are they going to do? Sue us for telling the truth? or being assholes? Last time I looked in my handy-dandy law book... it wasn't illegal to be a dick... or tell the truth for that matter.

As I squinted my eyes in the morning sunlight it became obvious,I wasn't going to leave the bathroom for what I perceived to be hours,yet I seemd to live in that foul smelling room all night covered in feces and smells of dead carcasses.
Here is the story. After finishing an awesome and grueling workout, I reached for my triple threat protein. It was empty,I was pissed off. But I had saved a tub of muscletech "nitrowhatever" for emergencies like this,actually,to be honest,I saved it because I could never drink that putrid stuff but didnt want to waste $60 bucks.
But I needed my protein,so I took a scoop of the nitrocrap and shoved it into a blender and vroooooom it was done,clumpy but done. As I finished the glass,a low rumbling sound came from my stomach followed by foul smells coming from my anus.
I ran to the toilet and unloaded this coagulated protein shit from my ass,I continued having diarrhea and cramps from sundown to sunlight,thanks muscletech,your products are craptastic!
By the way,remember in "dumb and dumber" when Jim carrey was pouring ex lax into harry's tea,and then he was shitting like a mofo. That was NOT ex lax, that was muscletech nitrocrap he put in his tea.

muscletech's products don't do what they say they do.
Do you have advertising standards in the U.S? In the UK, if an adverts claims are deemed to be fraudulent they can be ordered to change their advertising.
By the way Muscletech - your products are dog wank. I went to GNC the other day.. Now GNC is expensive enough but sometimes I cannot avoid them (no where near as much choice in the Uk when it comes to supplements) and I was truly shocked by the price of your crap. I would have tried your protein if it wasn't so expensive.. but I can get nearly 4 tubs of Precision Engineered Whey Protein from Holland and Barret for the price of one tub of your dog wankotech protein. Alternatively, I can get a tub of EAS Simply from EAS direct for 10 quid less.. and the EAS is more than twice as big..
40 quid for a 908g of protein with a few mumbo jumbo ingredients.. fuck you.
In fact, Americans may think they are being ripped off.. but look at what Musclewank sell for in the UK. Man you would have to be very rich to afford them:

Hey Muscletech.. I got a bit of time on my hands.. I may just complain to the advertising standards agency regarding your adverts in magazines available in the UK - i.e. Musclemag, Muscle n Fitness, Muscular Development, Flex.... It will only take me an hour or so.... Nothing may come of it... but are you concerned?

Nope, sorry guys... I've never heard of it. 
Uk bro's.. you can complain about fraudulent advertising claims made by Muscletech at:
www.asa.org.uk/
They will take complaints seriously. Enclose an advert or two in your letter.
Cannot find equivalent agency in the USA... anyone?
Below is an example of the ASA taking action.
ASA General News Release
General: ASA ACTS TO STOP 'DECEITFUL' SLIMMING ADVERTISEMENT - 27/11/2001
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is taking action this week against the Health Laboratories of North America, following almost 150 complaints about a promotional mailing for a slimming product that appears to have been sent by a friend or relative.
Although the company is based in the US, the mailings, which are sent to individuals at home, are posted in the UK. They arrive in a hand-typed envelope with a first class stamp stuck on it. Inside is what seems to be a newspaper advertisement for the slimming product 'Berry Trim'. At the top of the page is a handwritten message that states "[recipient's initial], try it. It works!"
The advertisement says: "Teacher Loses 70 lbs. in Only 8 Weeks Easily ... Without Being Hungry ... After Everything Else Fails Her! This is how over 1 million people have safely lost over 10 million pounds! NO calorie counting! NO hunger! Guaranteed to work for you too!"
The ASA's Director of Advertising Practice, Guy Parker, said: "The rules about non-broadcast advertising in the UK state quite clearly that advertisements should be designed and presented in such a way that it is clear that they are advertisements. These mailings constitute one of the most flagrant and deceitful breach of the rules we have ever seen; as each and every one is handwritten, stamped and posted in a hand typed envelope. It's a laborious task for someone to be undertaking, but it's one that is causing people on the receiving end a great deal of fear, distress and anger."
The ASA upheld complaints against the mailing last month, and is now taking further action after the company failed to comply with its ruling.
The Compliance team, which works to ensure that the contents of advertisements are in line with the British Codes of Advertising and Sales Promotion, has advised the Office of Fair Trading of its concerns. It has also alerted its counterparts in the US to try to get the mailings withdrawn or amended and is applying pressure on the Dutch fulfillment house mentioned in the mailing through the ASA's counterpart in the Netherlands. Last week, it issued an 'Ad Alert' to media owners in the UK - a warning not to distribute the mailing without taking prior advice.
Guy Parker continued: "The best way to stop the impact of this mailing is for people who receive it to ignore it. We can't stop someone from pushing a bundle of hand typed and stamped letters into a letter-box, and so we're focusing all our efforts on stopping it at source. In the meantime if you receive it - bin it."
The ASA is also currently investigating a similar mailing sent by The Health Laboratories of North America promoting a product that claims to provide pain relief.

This company made similar claims...
Adverts promoting a leading sports drink made unjustified claims about the product's effectiveness, according to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
The advertising watchdog has upheld five complaints against the promotion of Umbro Hypotonic as "The World's Most Advanced Sports Drink".
The ASA ruled that advertisements promoting the pineapple and orange-flavoured drinks were wrong to include claims that they were "up to 50% more effective than isotonic drinks".
Also unsubstantiated, ruled the ASA, was the claim that the drink would "rehydrate and replenish energy faster than any other type of drink".
As the drink was produced under licence it was the licensee that made the contentious claims and not Umbro
Umbro
The ASA found no evidence to show the drink outperformed others.
Sportswear giant Umbro, the official kit sponsor of the England football team, last year lent its name to the new line of "hypotonic" energy drinks made under licence by Edinburgh-based GoPack Superdrinks Ltd.
The drink soon became the staple pre- and post-match replenishing fluid for footballers at more than 100 top clubs including Celtic, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace.
It even threatened to topple market leader Lucozade Sport, the official beverage of the Premiership, from its position at the top of the energy drink chart.
But GoPack has now been told that it can no longer use claims about the drink, including that it was created by a "respected sports nutritionist".
While claiming it was made to a proven scientific formula, the only evidence it gave to support this was an article written by the person responsible for the formula.
£2m sales
The ASA said it launched an investigation after receiving a complaint from SmithKline Beecham, which makes Lucozade Sport.
Umbro said on Tuesday it was up to GoPack to substantiate any claims about the drink.
"As the drink was produced under licence it was the licensee that made the contentious claims and not Umbro," said a spokesman.
GoPack said it had withdrawn the drinks from sale on 31 December after chalking up sales of more than £2m.
Company director Bob Jameson said it had no plans to resume production.

The US Food and Drug Administration says that claims that antioxidant vitamins can reduce the risk of cancer cannot be made on food supplement labels.
The claim has been approved for foods. The decision is part of new labelling regulations in the US that make it harder for manufacturers to make health claims for dietary and vitamin supplements.
Claims on labels must now be supported by "significant scientific agreement among qualified experts".

ASA Corporate News Release
Corporate: ASA WELCOMES HIGH COURT DECISION - 06/12/2000
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) today welcomed a judgement by the High Court to dismiss an application for a judicial review of a decision made by the Authority.
Matthias Rath Ltd, based in Slough, Berkshire, was told by the ASA to withdraw a misleading mailing for its range of vitamin-based dietary supplements. The ASA's decision was published in its monthly report on 8 November 2000.
The Hon. Mr Justice Turner, sitting in the High Court of Justice Queen's Bench Division Administrative Court, rejected an application by the company to bring proceedings for a judicial review of the decision by the ASA's Independent Reviewer to refuse the company's request to reconsider the original decision.
The Judge also gave his reasons for rejecting an earlier attempt by the company to obtain an injunction stopping publication of the ASA's monthly report, which carried the Authority's findings against the company. He said to do so would have been "unjust", and that the public expected the ASA to publish "in a manner and time that is appropriate."
In its 8 November 2000 report, the ASA upheld complaints from Barking and Havering Health Authority that the company could not substantiate the health claims made for its products.
Christopher Graham, ASA Director General, said: "As far as we know, this judgement is the first judicial ruling on advertising regulation since the Human Rights Act 1998 came fully into force, and the first attempt to challenge directly a decision by the Independent Reviewer.
"The judgement shows that the ASA's procedures are fair and that its decisions are a matter of public interest. This judgement is excellent news for the self-regulatory system of non-broadcast advertising.
Continued…
High Court/2…
"The ASA will vigorously resist attempts by some advertisers to place unjustified legal road blocks in its path."

sorry muscle tech reps/spys
Oh c'mon now. Everyone knows the secret ingredient in Nitrotech isn't creatine. Its a small dose of anavar and winny
Thats the only way to gain 20 lbs of pure muscle off one jug of Nitrotech.

Yeah, they usually advertise as a magazine within your magazine. Long multi-paged ads. Featuring the same roided out guys.
I have tried Muscle Tech and I think it is absolute rat shit. Not only did I get a bad case of cramps and diarrhea, but it was horrible just choking that shit down.
As far as false advertising goes.... look at their claims of turning people into Mountains of Shredded Mass..... remember back when Joe Weider was fined for making such claims with his old Anabolic Mega Packs?
