Exactly. Not needing a car is different from there being no cars. Imagine a world (at least the urban parts of one) where everyone driving was driving because they wanted to drive, not because it was the only way they could think of to get from a to b in a reasonable time and they were angry because of course that…

There is, in fact, a logic to that. If Americans don’t need a car then the entire industry shifts to cars they don’t need, which are way more fun. If I didn’t need something sensible and practical, would I drive something like that? Hell nah, then I could finally import a Honda Beat.

If the deposit was $5,000 and non-refundable you may be on to something. I know 2 people who put down deposits so they could post on social media but couldn’t afford a new TV nevermind a truck.

“Were you complaining when Bin Ladin got hit?”

This might say more about Cincinnati than anything else...

Mach-E will be built in Mexico, assembly should be much better.

I think there is a small but dedicated Peloton cult, and its existence along with the very online dedication of its members has tricked the people of Peloton into making a commercial with the assumption that other, normal people might want to be in said cult. Much like others who have been indoctrinated in one way or…

I don’t hate the bikes themselves, and actually think the communal online workout sessions could be a solid motivator. But the marketing...my god the marketing...

Not just “I love you.” It’s “I love you SOOOOO MUCH that you should never leave the house except when it’s with me...lard ass!”

I think it said “Let’s go Grace, in Boston”

Why is she already in shape at the start of the commercial?

I think that the man is so terrified that she’ll get fat that he implanted a small explosive device in the back of her neck that will explode if she fails to use the Peloton regularly and so she obsessively records her rides so he knows she is complying. It would explain the terror. After awhile, she develops…

She also got a brand new Dyson and a free year with a nutritionist. 

I’m happy to hear I’m not the only one with a rage boner for this commercial. The previous plugs for this stationary bicycle (only toddlers and assholes call it “spinning”) feature an insufferable gallery of young, blandly attractive rich assholes in the heat of orgiastic body narcissism were bad enough. Here, though,…

THANK YOU! I’ve been telling anyone that’ll listen to me how much I hate this goddamned commercial. Why is she recording everything? Why is she nervous? Why is she making her husband watch her videos?

This ad has taken me from merely dismissing Peloton bikes as overpriced exercise equipment to wanting to light the houses that contain them on fire.

Because I see it over and over and over again on Hulu.

This ad plays constantly on MSNBC, which plays on the elevator at the building I work at, and it makes me lose my fucking mind. Why is she nervous about her “first ride” on a fucking stationary bike? Who would be surprised that she did a cardio workout five days in a row? Waking up at 6 am sucks, but not exceptionally…

What I don’t get is how this woman claims getting the bike “changed her.” There is no visible way in which she has changed over the year. She was already thin and toned. I guess she just gets up earlier now?

These cars don’t come with spares anymore!
