Several people got offended by the fact that she had it placed in a very luxurious home, saying that Peloton seemed to be marketing to the very rich and suggesting that the average person would not be able to afford one. Now look at the Chevrolet commercial where a guy buys himself a very expensive pickup truck and buys his wife a top of the line SUV that's parked in front of a multi-million dollar home. No one seems to be offended by that. Maybe it's because the wife liked the pickup more than the SUV and decided that she was going to get it and leave the SUV for her husband.

All Commercials Are Lies. .....
Lies and distortions? You mean like a commercial with a 20 something model telling everyone how wonderful the wrinkle cream she uses works on removing all her facial wrinkles? If I was a woman, I would seriously be offended by that type of BS marketing.
In my opinion ... it's just a commercial - get over it!
