Maybe she wanted the thing to exercise. Some people do that. Not fat lazy feminists apparently.

In the ad, she was fine when she GOT the thing. She didn’t have to “get in shape”.

Right, and this is exactly what everyone is missing. She is fit and in shape. Who said she wanted a Peloton for losing weight? This is the thesis put forth by the perpetually offended.

What I and many others took from this is that she's into fitness and now she can do this in the comfort of her home rather than going to a club. People who are into fitness get "into the zone" with their fitness.

The stock is trading where it was just last Wednesday.
It bubbled up on Cyber Monday.

Oh this whole article is dumb. Peloton was at $31.10 a week ago on 11/27. It was at $24.61 a month ago on 11/4. Now it is at $31.63 and they’re acting like the company is about to fold.

But it’s fun to join in the outrage.

There is nothing wrong with the ad. It will only offend the compulsion driven neurotics, who war on human happiness by denying the realities of nature. They are the joke. Normal people embrace sex roles. (none of us would be here but for those roles.)

It’s truly a shame the country has deteriorated to this point. What will the future hold?

Something outside of the typical "stupid white male" ad?

the fact is that Peloton is marketing to VERY wealthy people, because that’s who spends three grand on a stationary bike, plus 40 dollars a month - forever.

Such people may in fact be a little different than the average twitter user. And the ad is not directed at women, it’s directed at the sort of men who would buy the thing for a woman without telling her, and expect her to be grateful to be told to get her ass in shape.

"I guess I’m stuck in the 1950s. Because I saw this ad a few times on TV, and I didn’t see anything wrong with it."

I agree. I don't have a clue what was objectionable. Woman asks for expensive exercise bike for Christmas - husband gets her the bike - she is so happy about it she documents a year long exercise journey on said bike. Where's the creepiness?

I just thought she was into cardio fitness. Get your heart rate up and keep it there for as long as possible.

I hate the interwebs

I thought the His and Hers car ads for Christmas were bad enough but this Peloton ad was the creepiest and worst eveh .

I didn't get sexist, but yeah, major creep factor.
