[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3305032, member: 7248"] Nothing says I love you like, hey here's a bike, not that you need it or anything. Just kidding. There's some controversy over the idea of giving your spouse a Peloton. Personally, I think it's a great idea and has probably sold more Peloton's than other ad campaigns. [MEDIA=youtube]pShKu2icEYw[/MEDIA] Peloton responds to backlash over holiday commercial, says it was 'misinterpreted' Cycling fitness brand Peloton has responded to the backlash over its new holiday commercial, saying the company is "disappointed in how some have misinterpreted" the 30-second spot. The ad, which shows a woman's yearlong fitness journey after her husband gives her one of its costly stationary bikes, was widely criticized on social media this week, including by some who said it sent a sexist message. The blowback was so fierce the company's stock price dropped by as much as 10%, Bloomberg reported. Peloton responded in a statement to CNBC on Wednesday. “We constantly hear from our members how their lives have been meaningfully and positively impacted after purchasing or being gifted a Peloton Bike or Tread, often in ways that surprise them,” a company spokesperson told CNBC in an email.
