The outrage over those ads is silly to me. My wife wants one of those damn things. I mean, they could have shown some fat girl who rides it day one then just hangs her XXL underwear on it because working out is hard.

I get the video of the girl is supposed to be funny, but I doubt some dude is going to shell out $2,000+ for a stationary bike if she never mentioned it. However, if he did and she doesn't like to workout then cue Tammy Wynette.

A buddy of mine has had a Peloton for over a year now and loves it. He used to do the same triathlon clinics I did because he had gotten quite big, but quit going for a few years (rode on his own). After e got the Peloton he has dropped some weight and feels better. He likes the group video training sessions which he says keeps him interested in riding the thing a lot. I myself am satisfied with my resistance stand onto which I can mount my road bike and do the exact same shit you can do on the Peloton (sans video)...about $1,500 cheaper I might add.

It is pretty ridiculous how hard people look to be offended (maybe more for the Pussification of America thread). The commercial was awful, but it wasn't sexist. Wife asks for Peleton, gets Peleton, and then improves her physical health. People can STFU beyond saying it was a bad commercial.

Do you even Pepsi Challenge bro?

I actually took the Pepsi challenge at the long-defunct Bethel Center K-Mart sometime in the early to mid-80s. I've always slightly preferred Coke and can tell Coke and Pepsi apart, so I deliberately chose Coke. The girl giving out the samples was a little more downcast about it than I'd have expected. Of course, the whole "our carbonated water, sweetener, and food coloring product is better than your essentially identical product" thing is fairly absurd regardless.

What's far more irritating to me about both Coke and Pepsi is their decades-long ad campaigns that suggest that their products are the ubiquitous Malaria mosquitoes that transmit joy, community, happiness, tolerance, and world peace to all of humankind.

Back to the original reason why I came to this thread...the Yoplait commercial where the young girl shows off "her all-star moves" and "incredible strength" by dunking a basketball through a hoop that is so low she literally doesn't have to leave her feet to do so.

You mean you don't want to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony? You're obviously not the real thing. Or not old enough to know what the fuck I'm referring to...:lol:
