Where exactly? There were quite a few times where OTHERS (including Than) accused Alexis and said that her corporation participated in the illegal activity. I'm yet to see a case where Alexis admitted that. And don't forget cite from page 67 about Boost: “without being officially classified yet as a banned substance, its extra-legal sale and use continues unabated”. If Boost “is not yet officially classified yet as a banned substance” SIX MONTH AFTER “they are ready to start making arrests” in the name of “anti-terrorism laws” then this STRONGLY suggests corrupt or just overzealous justice and not illegal sales.

2014-08-06 03:11:51 +0000 UTCDo you have any reasons to believe that Alexis lied when she said that “My products simply help one, with proper diet and excercise, obtain and maintain the figure they want!”? From what I'm seeing she have genuinely tried to help people, just went not in exactly right way in doing that. She's either NEJM ( <a href="http://goo.gl/TQWMel" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/TQWMel</a> ) or may be OE ( <a href="http://goo.gl/YQcQEo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/YQcQEo</a> ). I don't think she really “knew what she was selling” as you want to imply.

2014-08-05 21:17:44 +0000 UTCA lesson in dealing with likes of Than. There are no “right” approaches when one has to deal with deveels. But to not even do some double-check the information is just silly. Have she tried to ask Miriam (or, rather, C.A.P.I.) to dig some information on Than's contests? Have she tried to talk (directly or indirectly) with people from the other side (Than organization's clients)? Yes, Alexis is prisoner to be sold as a piece of meat, but that's NOT how Than presented the situation at this exact point, right? Than revealed these particular cards only AFTER LBSC contest. Before that official justification was “Than just pretends to keep Alexis prisoner for her own good”. Both Alexis and Than knew that's a lie, of course, yet this pretext could give Alexis plausible deniability: if Miriam will be caught (well, WHEN Miriam will be caught, I guess) she could just claim that she was quite curious about photos from Than's previous contests, “you know like you liked to watch photos of my test subjects”. IOW: Alexis could have fought for her freedom. Not in a dumb way (“mad dash like a last time”), but in somewhat smart way. Ysabel obviously knows something yet Alexis refused to even talk to her about that AFAICS. Instead Alexis just went with Than wishes: hook, line, and sinker. The most she's ever tried to do was talk to Annabel. When it was well-known from the very first encounter that Annabel is master of manipulations. That's just crazy. IOW: Alexis gave up and decided to “go with the flow” and “hope for the best”. It just does not work. Neither in real life nor in fiction. God helps those who help themselves, opportunities don't just fall in your lap unless you are looking for them. Alexis SHOULD know that: she was a CEO, right? CEOs know how it goes. Well, most of them do. I guess Alexis is an exception. Sometimes you just have no knobs to tweak and no strings to pull (that's the situation where Alexis was right after the kidnapping) and you are forced to wait (which was right thing to do till she was reunited with Miriam and Ysabel), but if you just continue to do forever that then eventually you lose. Plain and simple. Especially if you try to overcome large and powerful organizations single-handedly. Basically I'm not disappointed that Alexis have lost: it was almost pre-determined outcome (Than's organization is just too powerful), but the fact that she've not even tried to do anything in a few months… that's REALLY disappointing.

2014-08-05 21:09:16 +0000 UTCA lesson in what? She saw a chance to get out from under Than's boot..er boob and took it. Considering for all intents and purposes she's a prisoner there and being hunted by the authorities for what could or could not be industrial sabotage at the hands of Than yet again. She's been kidnapped and sold off like a piece of meat when you get to the nitty gritty, it doesn't help that her subordinates got themselves just as much caught as she got kidnapped and ingrained into her captors little secret society while attempting to rescue her. I'm hoping her "buyer" turns out to be Subject 01 of Boost to be honest however.

2014-08-05 20:02:50 +0000 UTCAlexis needed a lesson. Yes, she needed it less than Than and perhaps lesson was too harsh, but it was needed. I don't know why she decided to suddenly trust Than but that was a mistake. She paid for it and [hopefully] will learn from it. What exactly she'll learn still remains to be seen, though.

2014-08-05 00:54:46 +0000 UTCNah, I doubt Zdemian will throw Alexis under a train like that. Still doesn't sit well with me however...

2014-08-04 22:35:17 +0000 UTCShe's sold to slavery already. She just does not know about it yet. Actually the whole LBSC story (or at least the part where Than seeked and found a way to “encourage” Alexis' growth) is consequence of said sale. We'll see how she'll be treated, though. Hey buyer could be someone who seeks dirt on Than and not someone who wants to actually own a big tit slave, e.g. We could always hope. But that's VERY slim chance. Most likely her future is quite bleak.

2014-08-04 18:24:30 +0000 UTCI think Alexis is beyond the point of taking care of herself (mind boggling breast weight and not big enough arms) which is why I brought up the biggest tits title to possibly seek. She could garner a loyal following being the biggest and have them attend to her needs. I doubt it will go that way but surely it is a possibility of BE fan fiction.

2014-08-04 14:40:27 +0000 UTCYup. We all knew that Alexis will lose that battle but to lose in just a few seconds… basically in one move… that hurts. It's not a fight, it's a massacre. I know that the real life is not fair, but that's why we like to read fiction more then we like to read documentary reports!
Khimru
2014-08-03 15:28:15 +0000 UTCYeah but at what cost? She's got no company and getting bigger would just make it harder to to take care of herself? Alexis lost and those of us cheering for her to win against this backstabbing bombastic bitch, at least put up a decent fight, lost.

2014-08-03 03:59:54 +0000 UTCdon't agree at all. as much as I want to see where LBSM actually goes next, this has been a fun detour so far.

2014-08-02 17:53:37 +0000 UTCmaking judgements calls based off of this one panel is kind of unfair. we have no idea what will come next
Bronn
2014-08-02 17:52:53 +0000 UTCWith both having enormous tits at the end of the day, are there really any losers? I think not. :) Alexis may not have won this contest, but she can still win the title of "Biggest Tits!" if she wants to. That I think would bug Than more and be more coveted than winning a contest.
Jon
2014-08-02 16:22:36 +0000 UTCNot only that, why would Bunny attempt to beat her boss? Doubt she'll rock the boat.

2014-08-02 15:21:51 +0000 UTCDownside: She lost. Upside: She probably makes some AWESOME cannonballs with those.

2014-08-02 09:08:23 +0000 UTCThan splashed down on the side of the “bubble”, Alexis was pushed out of it. It's “the end” for Alexis, although there are still Bunny (but I don't think she'll be able to beat Than).
Khimru
2014-08-02 05:04:03 +0000 UTCTo me it looks like Than splashed down first, I expect a few more rounds to this contest.

2014-08-02 02:22:36 +0000 UTCThat's exactly how deals with deveels work. You think that you have an advantage for a short time, then something unforeseen by you is revealed and you are left on street without a penny… or are sold to a higgest bidder.

2014-08-01 23:59:04 +0000 UTCEh, doesn't really make up for it.

2014-08-01 23:31:02 +0000 UTCI can see why you guys are grumpy, but if you stop and take in what we're looking at, we're getting a pretty excellent view of alexis' new size. ;D
Curiositie
2014-08-01 22:25:48 +0000 UTCI call bullshit! BULLSHIT! Come on, like THAT? She made herself damn near immobile for nothing, I mean I we all knew she lost otherwise she wouldn't have been "sold"(goddammit THAT turn of events pisses me off so much). Fucking cheap ass Than.

2014-08-01 22:06:18 +0000 UTCWell, *that* de-escalated quickly.
