I just got done watching the documentary "Bigger, Stonger, Faster* (*the side effects of being an American). It is a documentary that details the lives of 3 brothers, two of whom use steroids.

It was an interesting documentary that talks about how steroid use has been a poster child for many politicians. It looks at the actual statistics and data on steroid use and some of the myths associated with them.

Has anyone else seen this movie? Thoughts?

If you haven't seen it, I would recommend watching it. It is a very good documentary that shows our infatuation with image in general in this country.

I thought the movie was great. Iknow a few of the characters in the movie and nothing suprises me about them. I especially liked the reference to the guys parents who hated the fact that his brother took steroids, but were eleted when he won his powerlifting competition. The still he used in that segment made me LMAO.

Adam Carolla mentioned this in one of his podcasts and gave it glowing reviews. I guess I'll have to add it to my Netflix queue.

You can also watch it on your computer (which is what I did). Did some paperwork while the movie was playing.

Heck, if there was a drug that really made you bigger, stronger and faster without dangerous side effects, or costing a fortune, we'd all take it. Personally, I want a drug that will make me rich, smart and good looking. Taller and younger would be good too!
