The Lieing Annex

A couple months ago I attended The Learning Annex at Jacob Javits convention center in New York City. It was a complete waste of time. If you ever have the opportunity to attend one of these meetings I suggest reading this first.
When you arrive, you wait in line for about half an hour and they show you into the main auditorium. On the way in, their are girls dressed in skimpy clothing, lined up on both sides of you (kinda like cheerleaders while football players run onto the field) and their all screaming and yelling MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!
Basically this singing and screaming about money continues for about 45 minutes which is when I realized my day would have been better spent elsewhere.
Following this charade, people break up into different "classes". They immediately begin pitching you whatever product pertains to the "class" you selected to attend, this "class" is run by a salesman. The salesmen discussing these products were probably the best salesmen I have ever seen or heard, whatever they were paying these guys wasn't enough. As you sit there and listen, they slowly suck you into believing you need this product, and the only way you are going to achieve your financial goals is by BUYING their product. Buying is capitalized because the service, software or CD set their pitching you all cost around or over $1000. I would also like to point out that on The Learning Annex website they claim "learning" is what they are offering; the only thing they are offering is the opportunity to BUY.
The products discussed there could have value and I am not claiming they don't work. If you want to learn what is offered from these products, you can research them and determine if you want to make that initial investment from your home. The main reason I am writing this post is they claim they are going to teach you something, the truth is they are selling you something.
