From The Atlantic, “The commercial has inspired days of both earnest Twitter outrage and mocking parody videos … Before-and-after photos of newly thin bodies have long been an element of fitness marketing, and now Peloton wants to make the case for a before-and-after of the soul. As it turns out, that is a little tougher to telegraph.” Holy-f***ing-sh*t! I swear to f***ing God there are some days I want to change my f***ing political and social identity to hard right-wing bat-sh*t-crazy conservative because it is, no doubt, moron liberals in this case that give progressives a bad name for being so f***ing G.D. overly sensitive/insane about something so stupid. The only reason this is actually any sort of deal is that apparently, the “outrage” — on social media nonetheless — tanked the company stock, which in short, really does demonstrate the power of a crazy public. Jesus-f***ing-Christ-on-the-f***ing-Cross.
This commercial is not the same as giving one’s wife a broom or vacuum cleaner for Christmas, which may or may not in and of itself be sexist, but doing so certainly seems closer to communicating that, if not more overtly indicating the guy is a horrible gift giver! It is f***ing possible — more likely — that a husband can gift a workout machine to his wife because the wife wants to become more fit or active and not that he is subconsciously communicating that she is fat and needs to lose weight. No doubt it is a liberal backlash that infers the worst in a commercial from her facial expression. What the m*****f***ing hell?!?! Seriously? Fake outrage over the misperception of facial expression? What facial expression exactly is the actor supposed to be covertly communicating to the audience to contradict the overt message she is delivering? Get a f***ing grip, people. She is not actually a scorned wife who is actually trying to please her sexist husband by actually slaving away on the machine. F*** me! This whole “controversy” demonstrates more stupidity than voting for traitor trump. F***! Welcome to stupid America. The left has its fair share.
