We are fast approaching the end of 2019, and as we close the book on a turbulent decade, nothing summarizes the state of our culture and our unhealthy relationship with contrived outrage quite like the Peloton ad controversy and the wave of hysteria that has followed in its wake.
Those claiming a Peloton ad is sexist are actually doing their cause more harm than good. Pictured: A Peloton stationary bike is displayed Dec. 4 at one of the fitness company’s studios in New York City. (Photo: Scott Heins/ Stringer/Getty Images)
Imagine if we could channel that outrage instead into addressing our nation’s obesity crisis.
If you are not familiar with the ad or simply cannot believe that America—land of the free, home of the brave—is full of adults who are distressed over an exercise bike, a quick Google search will fill you in on the situation.

The faux indignation over that ad makes me laugh.

Even at this late date, I confess to astonishment over it.

I have a feeling if the female had been overweight, ugly and gay, the virtue signaling would have been received better by the extremists. Just a guess, of course, but an educated one at that.

Fantastic article share. I feel the paragraph ‘Imagine if we could channel that outrage instead into addressing our nation’s obesity crisis.’ says it all!
