PHUKET, THAILAND - In what may be the only bright in the recent tragedy in Southeast Asia, John Basedow is missing and presumed dead. The fitness celebrity has not been heard from nor accounted for since the December 26th tsunami.
An avid body surfer, the pencil-necked body builder was vacationing on the beach in Thailand. One can imagine him sunning his torso in a three-quarters pose so as to appear slimmer when the 14-foot wave swallowed him whole. One has a harder time imagining him being missed much.
It is still unclear whether his death will mean the death of his ubiquitous infomercials. He has already achieved late night immortality with his spots for Better Body Basics. The John Basedow Foundation will almost certainly be founded in his absence to continue the dream of lean, strong muscle for just dollars a day.
That’s too funny
Not that I’m a fan of his, but what did he do to piss you off? Are you unable to develop your body in a way that doesn’t make you look like an AIDS victim or something?
Ooh, harsh. I’d say seeing him during every commercial break regardless of the channel pisses me off. I’m not saying RCN isn’t to blame here for selling their advertising to him so cheap, but he has inundated my TV viewing with his sideshow freak ass. So go be passive-agressive and anonymous somewhere else.
Pete doesn’t hate Basedow as a person, it’s just that he and I are routinely shocked by the insane amount of commercials featuring Mr. Six-Pack Abs himself all the while wondering how he can afford to buy so much advertising considering most people don’t even know who he is.
I’m sure he’s a fine, upstanding guy, and if he really did perish in the Tsunami then that truly is a shame - Pete just happened to find a way to make light of it upon finding that his late-night foil may have vanished.
did he really die?
I’ve always felt Mr. Basedow looked like a piece of well cooked chicken. Nice and lean with a crispy brown color. Which makes me think he didn’t die in the tidle wave at all. No, no. He was proabably eaten by malnourished locals who are too poor to cultivate their poultry farms. And that must’ve been an infintely worse death.
THIS IS CLASSIC! BASEDOW SERIOUSLY LOOKS LIKE HES 5′2″ AND A BUCK TWENTY MAXX! HE MUST HAVE FIT IN REAL WELL DOWN THERE…
You people are sick.
I’m sorry to hear this trajety, he was a hero to many people and inspired people to lift the way Arnold once did. Although i was never inspired to do his work outs i’ve seen his commercials and my prediction is that they are a success cause they aired for such a long time. RIP JOHN,
John Basdow is not dead
