Peloton released their holiday ad last week.

I giggled through the whole thing.

And a week later, Twitter is catching up & CNN has an article.
Heavens...the comments are funny.

The whole commercial has SO many red flags.....

But that's Marketing 101....their stock price is up, so...

There are never any overweight people in their ads. It's like when a 13 year old is the model for an anti-wrinkle cream or when people with perfectly white teeth are the before examples on a white strips ad.

One of the funniest comments I saw was, "116 lb wife documents arduous journey to becoming 112 lb wife."

@sidsmom I heard on the news weeks ago that they are being sued for using unauthorized music in their TV ads. They are no longer doing it but using other stuff. Guess they didn't want to pay the licensing fees.

The comments are turned off, darn it.

Unless all that pedaling and sweat leads to a Dairy Queen Buddy Bar, I'm out.

I wish hubs would get me the Peleton bike! Why do people think you have to be overweight to work out? Thin people workout too. I have never been overweight in my life and I have made it to a healthy 63 I think partly because I have always all my life been fond of a workout. I love how I feel afterward. Exercise is simply good for you, overweight or not. Why are people offended? People are dropping like flies from heart disease because they sit on their bums and accept their too many extra pounds. And that’s my two cents 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am sick of this ad. Over the weekend I think we saw it it at least 50 times. Enough already with the pricey bike! Too bad that riding a bike doesn't make your life perfect in REAL life. If I looked like the woman doing the commercial, I would not be killing myself on a bike!

I don't see the problem with the ad at all. I actually like it. Isn't exercise supposed to be a good thing....nothing wrong with wanting to move and get in shape....that doesn't necessarily mean lose weight. People are way too wound up about the slightest thing.
