People keep telling me I have an ego. I agree, I am pretty full of myself. See nothing wrong with it. In fact, love to piss weaklings who do not kow me well off with it. But who has the biggest ego. I vote for FM.

This outta be really fun! :)

Marc, did you vote?????

Should this poll be
Who has the smallest dick and tries to compensate for it the most by having the biggest ego? :P

i used this as my question :okthumb:
my answer would be the same if you added 'who has never had an original idea in his life and has built an empire off the concept "imitate, don't innovate" but still aligns himself with intelligent business people like FM, Lensman & Vick?'

:yowsa:

or how about ... 'pick the odd one out'!

or 'who is the fattest of these 4'

or ..... hmmm there could be an expensive divorce pattern there too ...

hahahahhahaha

LOOOOOSEEEEEER!!

Who needs original ideas, I was too busy reworking other peoples ideas that were proven winners. As far as new ideas, 90% of them fail. I stick to sure things.

I think the order goes this way....

FM, Lens, Brad, Serge....

Of course I have no room to talk, I have some ego issues as well. :lol:

CJ most great Empires were built by people who imitated. Very rarely do those who innovate capitolize on their innovations. It is usually someone who comes in and takes the innovation and knows how to market it properly who make the big bucks.

Dell, Microsoft, Intel, all started off as imitators....

I am sure Colin could put this into perspective....

You may not like Brad, and beleive me there are many reasons not to like him, but you cannot knock his business savvy. Money flows to those who know. Money does not discriminate, does not hate, does not have feelings....

Like it or not, in this industry Brad is a player... ( one who started with nothing, and a not on the ground floor)

As far as pay per signups, I am far from a player. I do well, but have never taken the step up to the next level. But, being a medium size PPS program allows me alot of flexibilty and not the headaches.

As far as still content, nobody has done the $ sales that Fresh Photos has, in the history of the net.

Video feeds do well, our video feeds are leased by every major paysites out there that I can think of, other than CE.

Mike, liking someone or not has nothing to do with how one sees their business savvy ... after all, i've always respected & looked up to YOUR skills in business.

Tell me, why is it that you only have opposing opinions to my posts when you have someone like brad or buff or another of your similars near by? Something to do with safety in numbers?

Dell, Microsoft and the other companies you mentioned may not have started with an entirely original idea, but they applied their own skills to them enough that their products stand out from others. Brads products don't stand out from anything ... and claiming that he is successful because of his methods of implementing other people's ideas is lame. Brad is rich for the same reason most of us are rich ... LUCK ... being in the right place at the right time.

Only a moron could have been in this industry for as long as he has, during a time when money was growing on trees, and not end up with a decent living from it.

That's like saying that the 10th person to arrive at the goldrush was a clever business person because they copied off the first 9. It doesn't take much skill to rock up to a creek-bed and stick a pan in it.

Even a loud-mouthed, 26 year old FEMALE from the opposite side of the world with no idea how to run a business did ok during this gold rush - it wasn't exactly rocket science. The real test starts now, and ends with the last one standing.

Perhaps the worst part is the hypocricy. The things he has trashed others for over the years are the same things he does to keep himself afloat now. This isn't business savvy, its missing the boat and swimming really fast to catch it ...

>>Money flows to those who know.

and it flows away from those who are bluffing even quicker when one runs out of ideas to imitate (or the tax man jumps in!).

You and brad may have been 'buddies' for a long time and poor wittle brad may always be getting picked on by the big bad cj :rollingeyes: but he's still a putz no matter how much you kiss & defend his fat ass in a public forum.

Let's just hope Brad is as savvy at hanging onto his money as he was at stealing other people's ideas during the gold rush!

Oh and in closing, don't forget an entire fortune can be lost in 1 divorce :okthumb: I've watched bigger men fall from a lot higher ground, while i float somewhere in the middle laughing my ass off. :matey:

CJ, trust me I am not picking Brad over you!! His boobs were bigger, but yours are much nicer! :o

Seriously though, you make good points. There are many people who have made and lost fortunes, you are right.... lets see where everyone is in 5 - 10- 20 years.

There are many reasons not to like Brad, he lis probably more comfortable with people disliking him.... but I think Brad has done a good job in business.

Just like FM, someone I really do not like much, and we have clashes of egos all the time.... But FM knows business.

Lots of weenies are good business people.... I do not beleive in luck, I beleive people make their own luck in business.

Oh and I think you are much more then a great rack.... we may dissagree on many personal issues, but you know business. I think some of the women I have dealt with in this industry are the shrewdest I have met. ( I come from a family that has very business savy women - Granny and my mom are amazing)

LOL

i want to meet your mum & granny
i've heard so much about them over the years and i think we would get along really well!

sorry to disappoint you about the rack though, mine is getting smaller and smaller every day ;-(
i've lost an entire bra size ... talk about depressing! I need to borrow some of brad's breasts :biglaugh:

Why my name not on that list yo!?

Don't ya'll know I got more chedda, more ice, more gold, more cars and mo bizznizz than all you punk ass wanna be playas??

Yeah I'm not arrogant, I just know I'm better than everyone else and I'm not embarrassed to say so because IT'S A GOOD THANG BABY!!

This is a bigger issue to me then Global Warming.... something needs to be done!!!

Ask Serge about my mom and Granny... We are all going on a cruise in November, should be fun!!

should i just start right away in humiliating you? or would you like the benefit of making a couple more posts first?

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA

quick quick
someone send me some breast enlargement pills!!!!


You are letting serge on a cruise with your mum & granny!?!??! make sure he doesn't take any of the glass toys todd sends him :biglaugh:

I was going to arm them with cattle prods, but then I realized Serge would like that to much! haha

JR, that is funny.... give the guy another post or 2!! :D

JR

My bank account so fat, they renamed the bank after me

My driveway so full, you think it be an exotic car dealership

My yacht so fly, you think it be a cruise line

My ice so heavy, you think it's hail when I throw up my chain.

I am in the major leaugue baby....

Me, Dean Shannon, Yitzhai and Brad Shaw are the ones who made the most chedda in this industry you hear me!!!??

i have a bigger penis, does that count ? :)

Both FM and Brad have big egos
one trys to hide it, while the other flaunts it

I got so much chedda, I can buy Ron Jeremy's penis and do a transplant, so you are insignificant to me you little immigrant cyber squatter.

Homey don't play dat!

So change your email address to

gene@pissing.com

I voted for Lensman,
only "full of himself pricks" would still owe me $1 checks
;-)))

yeap...I am too tired to pursue my ego,
it's been retired many moons ago
;-)))

i always vote Serge on polls

not on this one,
I don't belong there...

if the poll was about
"most Intelligent",
that would have been another story
;-))))

umm, I'm thinking it goes like this,
fm
brad
lens
serge

all pretty damn successfull for sure, so maybe it's not bad to have a big ego in this or any biz.


slav, did you get a chance to sign up?:)

Don't you kind of automatically have to have an ego to get ahead in biz, at least somewhat of one? It's hard to vote on the 4, 2 I know well Serge and Brad and the other 2 I've had limited run-in's with. I'm sure if I'd only had limited run-ins with Serge and Brad I'd think they had as big of egos as the others, once you get to know someone a little better though the facade they put out in public tends to disappear. So with that said, FM, Lensman you're invited to my "office" in Vegas to spend some quality time with me and all the other peon's of the world :)

Choices, choices, choices.......

B)

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if it was FM...

This could be best oprano thread ever, of course I started it.

was that the one over some lame domain neither of you should have been interested in to begin with? I saw that one..

Brad,
if you have had a REAL ego,
you'd make a bid for Oprano like FM and Lensman did 3 months ago....

Hey CJ.. you know I luv ya darlin'...

but not sure where you say we "ripped off" something... vs.. also adding new ideals and marketing techniques to a working model??

"That's like saying that the 10th person to arrive at the goldrush was a clever business person because they copied off the first 9. It doesn't take much skill to rock up to a creek-bed and stick a pan in it. "

I call it learning from others mistakes... I see it done in everything from pro sports... to mainstream retail and restaurant busiensses...

as for ego.. yes brad has an ego... but alot of it is for fun.. if you really know him.. hes actually a nice person... hes just the type.. if he doesn't like your shoes.. he will say so.. vs candy coating it... some people can handle the truth.. others can't..

one thing i'm trying to decide.. which is worse..
an egotistical person.. who continues to make money... or
an idiot who gets sucked up into the darkside of the porn industry?

but as for now...to each his own...

peace :D

Brad,
if you have had a REAL ego,

Serge, I do not care to go into chat board business, seems like a full time job.

since when??????

much less headaches than your feeds,
boards are "content which writes itself"
;-)))

when I sell it,
I give 3 months of guidance and outline all things not to do
;-)))

LOL
Is this Greg??
Post more!!

CJ, why are you so bitter towards Bradley? You keep refering to a divorce...do you want him?!

Serge, I haven't known you all your life so I can't say with certainty but
I'd say right now you are having the (best) time of your life

You travel, spend quality time with friends, have a wonderful wife/companion, drink and dine well

So I'd say the chat board business (among other) has been berry. berry good to you

hmmm are you trying to tell us something?

No but I know him and Pornoman got a little thing goin on, better make sure he's all yours ;)

Vick,
you nailed it...
The life is soo good I need a reminder
"You are mortal"

{like Ceasars did}
;-)))

tell???

no,
I am trying to SELL you something
;-))))
