[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know how the supposed uproar started? I think Peloton just created the fake controversy for publicity. [/quote]

It’s really a fake news thing. It’s just bad reporting using the “people are saying....” without ever saying who the people are because they do not exist. Here is NPR take “ NPR's Mary Louise Kelly talks with CNBC reporter Megan Graham about Pelton's holiday ad and its effect on the company's brand. The ad has prompted cries of sexism and body shaming online.”

In the segment no one is quoted as saying it’s sexist or body shaming. The two women reporters talk about how pretty and skinny the woman is. From there they implying the husband is controlling and abusive. Feminist do not like the husband buying the wife anything but traditional gift...like jewelry...maybe?  It seems everything now days is sexist and body shaming.  :roll:

Stock is up.

As of yesterday, they had hit their 52-week high. And I say 52-week. They've only been public since September. Today they are back down.[/quote]
