China has a rule for internet pop-up ads: they must show a clear close button and let people close…

Vintage Ads That Would Be Totally Illegal Now
If you’ve seen the show Mad Men, then you know that the advertising business and the fine gentlemen who ran it were really sensitive to the needs and feelings of women. They would never use sexism and your own basic fears about yourself to try and get you to buy something.
So yeah, that was a good laugh!
Snap back to reality and we’ve got some really nutso vintage ads that wouldn’t be allowed in decent conversation these days.
1. You know what’s an asset? Not being a sexist douchebag.

Here Are Some Funny Responses to That Peloton Commercial Everyone Is Talking About
Unless you’ve been living in seclusion for the past month or so, you’ve seen the now-infamous Peloton commercial and you’ve heard all the blowback regarding the ad.
You know the one…
this ad is making me lose my goddamn mind pic.twitter.com/GXgypRkFOg

People are upset that the commercial sends the wrong message to women and that it is passive-aggressive about weight issues.
Let’s see what folks on Twitter had to say about this…
1. Come on…
Look I don’t want to be “The Peloton Ad Guy” anymore but the newest commercial about the vlogging 116 lb woman’s YEARLONG fitness journey to becoming a 112 lb woman who says “I didn’t realize how much this would change me” is just ri-god-damn-diculous. Come on.

2. They’re gonna be very busy…
Peloton is legally required to repossess your bike if at least one wall of your house isn’t entirely windows

3. That’s your problem.
everyone’s mad at peloton because you can’t use it to ride to the ice cream store. sorry but i ride my peloton to the ice cream store every day. if you’re not pedaling hard enough that’s a you problem

4. Oh won’t you please take me home!!
Take me down to the Peloton city where the wives are lean and the men are shitty

6. Nothing at all.
the peloton ad is perfect and good and there is nothing wrong with a surveillance hamster wheel in your home
— sarah jeong (@sarahjeong) December 4, 2019
7. She does look a little down.
The lady in the Peloton ad has Perpetually Sad Eyebrows and that is 100% of the reason why the ad is problematic
— Helen Rosner (@hels) December 4, 2019
8. Ransom.
Peloton responds to ad criticism: “Stop the mean tweets by midnight or we will never release her.”

9. I’ll take it!
if any one of your husbands wants to buy me a peloton i will not be offended

11. Do you need help?
I’d ask that woman in the Peloton commercial to blink twice if she needs help, but her husband already botoxed her eyelids for her birthday.
— Seth C. Payne (@SethCPayne) December 3, 2019
12. She’s terrified.

13. An alternate universe.
An alternate commercial where he buys his wife a bicycle instead of a Peloton, and introduces her to bike Twitter. A year later she plays him videos of clownishly incompetent drivers, terrible bike infrastructure, and beautiful sunsets.

14. I’ll be waiting…
Me, knowing that the hot Peloton mom will be single in a month… #Peloton pic.twitter.com/TAgYV0RaBC
