Well, it’s been a wild ride. Fitness Celebrity John Basedow is allegedly alive and well and has never even been to Thailand. For some of you it’s been a troubling time, for others nothing could have made us you happier. I’d like to share some of the more poignant thoughts other people had to share.
Francesca said “I HAVE A JOHN BASEDOW STORY! it’s called he’s dead and he died in the tsunami and I am HEARTBROKEN”
Time heals all wounds, but it looks like you can mend your heart sooner than you thought, Francesca.

There are hundreds of people I would love to never see on TV again. That doesn’t mean I want them dead, for crying out loud. You have over 100 channels on most TVs in this country today. Turn the channel already but don’t hate a person who has dedicated his life to a goal or who has made a successful business due to his hard effort. I thought he looked stranged myself but hey, I just turned the channel… Get over it already and leave the man and his loved ones alone. Just rest your beer can back on your fat gut and continue to watch COPS reruns. It’ll be OK…
Good point, Danny. I never wanted to see him dead per se, I just wasn’t going to lose sleep over it. As for my fat gut though, it’s really interesting to see that people think you’re fat if you don’t like a Fitness Celebrity. I’m quite trim, but thanks for the kind words.
What is wrong with you people said, “John may not be liked by other people for what ever childish reason. The man makes money the “American Way,” he works hard and created a profitable business. Get over it.
One more thing, to wish another human being dead because you don’t like to see them on TV makes me want to pray for your eternal soul.”
My enternal soul is fine, thanks. Second, his profitable business is an eyesore and I’m currently boycotting his goods the “American Way.” Third, I never wished him “dead,” I wished him “gone.” Big difference.
John Basedow’s Jr. said, “if you folks will go to www.fitnessmadesimple.com you will see a press release refuting the report that my dad is dead. He singlehandedly stopped the tsunami with his massive arms and low impact gyrations. I declare today John Basedow Day!”
I’m really impressed by how effective those low impact gyrations are. Maybe there’s something to these so-called Better Body Basics after all? Nah.

love the content. i myself think that basedow’s head is too big for his body, or doesn’t fit his body, but i don’t want him dead. if he is making money out of honesty, then go for it… love your work man!!!!!!!
The John Basedow tragedy hit home in many different ways. It was upsetting to see the overwhelming amount of fans who came to show support for the no-talent, ass-clown. His weird body gives many small children the creeps and they often have bad dreams; nightmares. There is something to be said about his bobble-head looking appearence. But we can all agree that on the fact that it looks weird. Also, in a bold career move, he gave himself blonde streaks to distract people from looking at his osterich neck. I don’t think Basedow should die, but I don’t think he should be a face for pop-culture. I’m amazed at the fact that he has a son. Does he also have an osterich neck? I am willing wager a large sum of money on jr. being the victim to many swirlies and rigatoni accidents.
Hey Basedow, keep truckin. Keep pasting your head on someone else’s body. I guess money and a perfect body doesn’t get you laid. Huh. I really feel like I am doing something productive right now. I’m glad others are finally speaking out against this menace.
word. this guy is a freak. very ugly….and very…eww.
I have a John Basedow story…John Basedow is on an island with Tupac. He survived the tsunami because he has gills. He is a lot like Chuck Norris-indestructable. That is all. Thank you.
I believe that Chuck Norris and John Basedow are the same person. It’s like Chuck Norris cloned himself and the product was John Basedow. John Basedow can also do a roundhouse kick to the face.
I HEART FITNESS MADE SIMPLE. COME BACK JOHN AKA CHUCK NORRIS.
