How many things are posted here on BBI (and anywhere) weekly where people are way over the top, shamed, embarrassed ... you know what I mean? And we wish they'd just face it and laugh, because that's what it deserves.
This young woman - who was called out, made fun of, or whatever she was, hell I don't even know what it was other than fucking stupid - appeared on Today (today) ... and she has such a great attitude about the whole thing.
I love that she cracks up watching the ad - PLUS appearing with Ryan Reynolds on his gin ad (I guess he owns a distillery?) - BONUS!
Pretty cool the way she (and they) are handling the whole thing. I hope this leads to good things for her. She seems very down-to-earth.
Take note, rest of the drama queen world! This is how you deal with stupid shit very well.
Here's the appearance (also with Ryan Reynolds) on Today this morning. - (

My wife bought me a gym membership for my birthday a couple of years ago.... #metoo?
Buddy of mine mentioned in passing that if he'd gotten that for his wife, she'd have freaked out (in a bad way). I didn't get it.
If someone got a bike like tat for their spouse, I guess the way I saw that ad - look at her. She's young and in great shape, so it's a PERFECT gift that she probably wanted!
Just good to see the actress taking it in stride.
Yeah, that was weird. It's a pretty stupid ad, but the reactions were so ridiculously overheated.
Down with 'Nak on this. Her eye color if it's what I think it is - brown with green gray flecks, is awesome. Smokeshow...
And I had no idea there was a viral controversy about that ad. Weird PC mothafekkers.
Absolutely!!
Ryan Reynolds: "I can't believe I'm sitting next to Monica Ruiz!"

Absolutely!!
I agree. I was trying to find out who she was. Now I know.

Was it cheesy? Absolutely. But misogynistic, promoting abuse, etc.? People need to get a life.

I haven't seen the reactions and in this day and age of assigning the most absurd intent possible to everything, I can only imagine they were silly as fuck.
But... so is that ad. Having nothing to do with Ruiz, she can only play the part written for her.
Yeah, they know that and don't care. I'm not buying a diamond ring anytime soon but I see commercials all the time. It's a commercial for people who have thousands of dollars to spend on an exercise bike. I don't, that doesn't mean they shouldn't have ad campaigns.
What about maintaining physical fitness for herself and the satisfaction of meeting a new challenge? What if she asked for the bike? There are so many other ways to look at the ad. You have to read way into it to make it problematic. She's already fit, probably likes to exercise. What in the world is wrong with encouraging that?
Yeah, because we witness a miraculous physical change in the ad right? Oh yeah, the fact that she started out thin is most people's #1 criticism. Sorry, that doesn't add up.
The only way to affect real change in yourself is to do the work. You can do that at the free gym in your apartment or you can do it at a boxing gym or even on a 2k bike. Still can't find anything to be offended about here.
nope, people who choose to workout like to workout. Target audience are people who like to workout who sometimes cant get to the gym to do what they like to do.
Heavier/overweight people who workout, typically dont like to workout and need a gym atmosphere to be motivated to workout.
FYI I usually lift 3-4 days a week and do a 15 min cardio warmup pre-lift on a bike machine. I fucking love it, Peloton is intriguing buy for me
Without knowing that couples relationship dynamics, you can't get offended at the purchase of a bike as a gift

The day BBI jumped the shark, when they were more concerned about Twitter reactions to an ad than they were about pictures of hot actresses and how they could find better looking women on the street any time of the day.

She's married and has 2 children, so you can stop slobbering over her.

You fucknuts have debated this for this long, and not one picture of the actress.

Wait, we can only slobber over the hot actresses who are both available and might plausibly be interested in us?
I hate to break it to you, but that's going to put a slight kink into that BAU process.
yes.. .and cancel culture. Individuals with no true purpose in life.
Would love to be a fly on the walls of their empty minds when they are on their death bed thinking about what they have done with their lives.
lol
Chained to the basement radiator next to Molly Pan, yep
