[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a liberal woman who is NOT offended by the ad. Heck, I’m even a bit overweight. Here’s my take on the ad: she’s a working mom with a demanding job (just like me) and she and her husband have a high HHI. Her husband knows her friends have Pelotons and she wanted one...even though they have a gym membership and she’s done barre and yoga. But she explained that it would be so much more convenient to have the peloton in the house so she doesn’t need to leave the  house and find a sitter since he’s always on work travel or golfing. He obviously doesn’t need the guilt or a fight, so he bought her the peloton. NBD because they can easily afford it.

I think the drama over the ad is ridiculous.

Why must everyone assign malicious intent? Why see evil in everything? Why create issues that don’t exist? So stupid. [/quote]

I could see her sunken Bambi eyes of a woman with an eating disorder:

I would have preferred if they picked a slightly sturdier looking actress.[/quote]

Yes!  I'm the pp who said I think it has something to do with her look.  Her eyes have this pleading "help me" look. [/quote]

Huh.

I’m guessing they picked her specifically because she has dark features so they could check the diversity box (as opposed to using a blonde hair lady). Point being: there’s simply no way to please everyone. [/quote]

What I said has nothing to do with her hair or eye color.  It's her crazy eyed look[/quote]

NP. For me, it was her fear over riding a stationary bike in her own home. I mean, what? Why are you nervous about that? The whole thing was weird.[/quote]
