He had his own school for scoundrels, and got 800k people to join? What a sad commentary on the world in which we live.

According to the article, that so called university is teaching about healthy living, exercise, and how to make and handle money. On a surface level, that sounds pretty alright.

Up until now when I researched the guy, I had no idea who he was and what ideals he represents. So I could see how unsuspecting people sign up for that stuff without any ill intent.

Yes, that's what the ad said, but the actual class was basically teaching how to trick a woman into bed. The movie sucked, by the way, even if the protagonist figures it out and leaves the class (happyish ending, I suppose). The original story is much worse and much more objectifying.
