I remember when NutriSystem came to my former station.  A salesperson for 
the station was trying to round up volunteers to use the product and 
endorse it.  Oddly enough there were stories out about problems with some 
of the ingredients in NutriSystem.  I did a little research, developed a 
local angle and ran it. Needless to say that was the last we saw of 
NutriSystem...and I don't think that salesperson ever spoke to me again.
Such is life.
