My Exercise Haiku - Long Version

I watched 10 minutes of an infomercial today for P90X, a collection of work-out DVDs that promise ripped abs, bulging biceps, and luscious lats.

At what point is the line crossed between preying on people's fear of inadequacy and empowering people's sense of self-worth and potential accomplishment?

I watched the commercial and felt pretty darn good about myself.  Then I looked in the mirror, and that feeling went away.  I guess the line was crossed somewhere between the couch and the mirror.
