Pool Cue News and Review

I’m not sure if any of you have read the article in Details Magazine on IPT scumbag Kevin Trudeau, but if you haven’t, take the time to go over to Details.com and read the article. The article goes into great detail about how the ex-con who had been convicted of credit card fraud and shut down by the FTC from ever running another infomercial duped an industry into believing that he would come in and legitimize pool.

The question of course is where should the blame be pointed? Everyone who ponied up for an IPT card knew they were getting in bed with a hustler. Like sheep, the industry lined up with fists full of cash to sign up for a tour run by a guy who advertised that his Coral Calcium Supreme was a cure for colon cancer.

Trudeau was just doing the same thing he’s always done: Target a group of people willing to buy into any quick fix and take advantage of them. The billiards industry and all the publications should be ashamed of themselves for cozying up to this guy and proclaiming him savior while writing fluff pieces as Billiards Digest did in 2005.

Just keep in mind next time that when you climb in bed with a scorpion, prepare to get stung… a lot.
