Boob McNutt would have fit right in with today’s Network Marketers.
Rube Goldberg had a syndicated comic strip in 1921 called Boob McNutt. Boob McNutt was main character in the comic strip known for "ludicrously intricate machinery meant to perform simple operations".

In my Quixtar days, we had 9 Core Steps that were supposed to guarantee success in the Network Marketing industry. "Core" was called a proven system, yet the only thing really being proven was that most people lost money.
"Core" overcomplicated what it takes to make money in Network Marketing, and lined the pockets of the few big wigs that sold the stuff that you need to be "Core".
If these big wigs were really concerned with the ability of their downline to make money, there would only be two steps to success. Sell products and sponsor people. If you sell a lot of products and sponsor a lot of people, you make a lot of money in Network Marketing!
