Homer Exposed by Sylvie Fortin
By TheAntiHype | September 4, 2008
Homer is hopping mad!
I’ve never, ever seen him so agitated. In fact I’ve never seen him act so quickly about anything.
Already upset by Sylvie Fortin’s comments about their “brief, albeit unsatisfying affair” Homer wanted to read the 2nd part of her Internet Marketing Sins (released today) and publicly criticise her work. That’s the measure of the man – own back time! But, having read it cover to cover he has been left with no place to turn.
He told me in confidence that “Me Too” hit him so hard he was winded!
Read Sylvie Fortins 2nd part of Internet Marketing Sins to see exactly why Homer was winded by the term “Me Too”.
Guru Fodder has never had such a stronger sense of being. Sylvie has ripped into Homer and his clones like never before. Could it be she is so angry that her liaison with him became public knowledge?
The Anti Hype (yes, that’s me) tackles the issues of Guru Fodder in a lighthearted fashion. I raise the issues of the poor marketing tactics, the over hype, the unscrupulous tactics of the bad gurus and the way people like Homer are either taken in or secretly want to be like these guys. But, I do so by gently suggesting that Guru Fodder are responsible for their own demise and they should be wary.
Sylvie hits you like a runaway train!
And that train hit poor Homer right were it hurts!
As he told me about page 39, the veins on his head stood out – I though he was about to explode:
“How does she (referring to his ex – Sylvie Fortin) know that I’ve bought that many products? She’s even got the numbers correct – apart from the Adsense Training guides – I’ve got 355 of those. You know My AntiHype (he still calls me that) I think she’s been spying on me”
And then he admitted it.
“She, she, she (he couldn’t bring himself to speak her name again) has accused me of following a Cult Leader”
I had to explain that the report was going out to thousands of people and it wasn’t a letter addressed to him personally – But if the cap fits!
He continued as if to justify his position and prove Sylvie wrong in one sentence:
“It’s rubbish Mr AntiHype – I follow loads of gurus not just one – she really has gone too far with this. The “cult leaders” I follow are all genuine – I know that because their products always sell out so fast”
My question “how can digital products ever sell out” remained unanswered!
Homer by now was almost all squawked out. But he had enough momentum to accuse Sylvie of one last thing:
“You know she has lied, don’t you? On page 112 she says “I had to make absolutely sure that nothing in it would come close to resembling specific people. I needed to be certain that no one person could point a finger at another because of anything I said”. Mr AntiHype – I know she wrote it about me – and that’s what really hurts. After all, we did have that fling – and I believed for years she just lost my number”
I guess some people are born to be and stay Guru Fodder!

I hope Homer has gotten over his broken heart. At least maybe next time…if there is a next time,
he won't let himself get roped in!

Hi Barb, I fear Homer is a broken man and his attempts at success are really just his way of trying to impress and win over the love of his life. Until he finds another (Marge doesn't appear to feature for some reason) I'm afraid he may continue his ridiculous buying habits in his quest for the elusive dollar!
