Years ago, JCPenney came out with this classic commercial entitled “The Doghouse”. It is one of those videos that you can watch again and again, and still laugh out loud. There is a lot of controversy about the latest Peloton commercial, where a beautiful, thin, seemingly already too “hard on herself” young woman is surprised by the “gift” of a Peloton exercise bicycle from her husband for Christmas. While the actress was paid to look thrilled, the backlash from consumers, seems to suggest most other women would be less than excited and might want that $2500 that a Peloton costs, in other forms, such as a diamond or a check. Perhaps the ad makers could have done themselves quite a favor and saved the stock price of the Peloton company, by looking at the archives of wise, old commercials from Christmas’ past. This Ghost of Christmas Past has a lot to teach husbands/boyfriends/partners, in the present and in my opinion, for the LONG unseen future. Words to the wise, gentlemen, watch the commercial VERY closely. If your special lady doesn’t specifically ask for something, by name, that is exercise related, or home cleaning related, for a Christmas present this year, steer very clear. Look around your house for catalogs with circled items on them and listen closely when she talks. She’ll tell you what she really wants and my bets are not on any type of exercise equipment from you.

OMG, THat should be a full length movie!!!!!!!!! And wheres the problem? I better go back and continue reading before I somehow stick my foot in my mouth.

Imagine the inverted stink eye I gave to myself.
Back to the movie. Where was I? Oh, lolololololollololo. OMgosh, thats so good! I dont see what the controversy is all about, its truthfully depicts in a hilarious way all the duel bags, really sounded more like douche bags, errr, ummm, “I tole my wife its much easier to stay at home with the kids than actually work for a living”???????????? lol Is that skin I smell searing? lmao.

OK better go see was a pelaton is.
Oh, the advertisement attached is not controversial, because we all know that it is the bona fide TRUTH. Look up the Peloton commercial. You’ll see the controversy in that one, a few seconds in.
lol OK got cha!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, hmmm, my first reaction is why would you give a pencil thin woman a exercise bike? Thats weird. But not as weird as Plus Size companies using pencil thin women to advertise their clothing which drvies me nuts cuz Im plus’ish and its difficult to gauge the clothes when their not used by their target audience.
