Real Peleton Xmas commercial

[Timberridge]

Have you ever been to a party where you were the only straight guy? It's an education.

The kind of education when about 6 drinks into the evening the gay gene starts overruling the straight gene and next thing you know you're wearing butterfly wings and dancing to Frankie Goes to Hollywood songs?

We must have gone to different schools.

Peloton stock drops after uproar over holiday ad we all hated during Thanksgiving weekend


Peloton Defends 'Misinterpreted' Controversial Commercial as Stock Falls 9 Percent in One Day


If there is one thing the Internet has brought home it is the fact that no matter how you see things there is someone (sometimes lots of someones) who see things in a totally different way and/or have/had a different experience. From the 2nd linked above linked article:

However, Peloton also shared a series of emails with PEOPLE from customers who reached out to say they supported the ad.

One woman named Melissa shared a story about her sister-in-law who had been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. She said that the bike had been her sister-in-law’s “saving grace” through treatment.

In another email shared with The New York Times, a 60-year-old woman named Tami said she felt that the commercial shared an important message about health.

“I can relate to her being surprised she did it for a year,” she wrote, according to the Times. “Bad health comes in all shapes and sizes. Glad you acknowledged that EVERYONE needs to be healthy regardless of how you look.”

The thing is it's not just about this admittedly stupid commercial. More like everything is everyone's business and if it doesn't fit their sensibilities then it needs to be publicly decimated.

Guess I'm just fed up with everyone's inability to not watch, listen to, purchase etc what they don't like and leave everyone else the fuck alone.

Yup! Perfect first car...

Well, there's one issue with letting a teenager have a station wagon, van, or other large vehicle... Bedroom on wheels. I should know, I had one.

[BmillsSkier]

Relax.

[Benny Profane]

Bisexual better? Have you ever been to a party where you were the only straight guy? It's an education.

In what? Fashion choices? Bitchy banter?

Do you think the ad would have had such a parochial backlash if they had a fit androgynous person working their tail off and selfie-ing for a year?

Like say, Bowie?

[Dantheman]

No ad, for any product, that primarily consists of self-vlogging should ever see the light of day.

[BmillsSkier]

I don’t know, I bet Bowie could’ve made it cool.

[rideit]

However, he maintained his figure with just tomatoes and cocaine, so there’s that...

They should have reversed the gender roles in the ad. It's such a fine line between clever and stupid.

[plugboots]

Smell the glove.

What’s funny is that I know tons of people with a peloton and have never seen any of them post about it on social media. Even my friends who are “very online” types.

So the whole selfie thing is another annoying part of it. They are trying to speak to “millennials” instead of you know, talking to actual millennials who are mid 30’s and busy with kids and work and life bullshit. It adds to the fakeness of the whole commercial.

Sounds like a fun party

Hold up, the lady in the commercial seems to be in her mid-30s and has a kid and she has plenty of time to take a years worth of selfie video on a peloton. Who are these slackers you’re referring to?

[muted]

Too skinny.

Meatloaf instead?

[BmillsSkier]

Meatloaf instead?

If peloton had any kind of balls at all they would be producing a response commercial right now with meatloaf grinding the fuck out of that bike for a year on selfie video

[rideit]

He probably sweated out 4-5 pounds per concert!

[Benny Profane]

Oh shit, this is like politics. Just saw a commercial where four or five people are all giddy that the GAVE THEMSELVES A BUICK SUV for Xmas. "Self Santa" was the phrase used. Really. It can get worse.

Cruise over to the wagon thread Benny, this is being contemplated in real time.
