Somewhat related; I have to wonder what the "special construction" that tones your butt does for other parts of your body, namely your back and feet. #reebokeasytonecommercial
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: oh that is a BIG controversy in running circles. You should go over to the runnersworld forums sometime for fun and drop a barefoot running comment and watch the fireworks. People feel SO passionate one way or another about it. #reebokeasytonecommercial
@bluebears: It's amazing to me how runners can be so polarized on an issue, from barefoot running to running skirts. As a longtime runner, I'm pretty cool with people doing whatever works best for them, but I'm not going to pretend I don't peruse running forums for the entertainment.
As far as this commercial, well, I've never loved my Mizunos or Izumis more.
Gah, I saw this last night and my first thought was "EWWWW, wonder how long it will take for the Jezeditors to see this mess." #reebokeasytonecommercial
In the defense of the director, I'd probably want to show as little of those fug shoes as possible, too, but jeez, show more pseudo-science graphs instead.
I saw this commercial the other day, and I couldn't believe it! I was watching it with my boyfriend, and said "wow! I can't believe they made this commercial. this is really gross!"
Sadly, the boy didn't really understand why I would find this offensive until I explained it. facepalm. #reebokeasytonecommercial
@That_little_attention_whore: I saw it with my boyfriend this weekend, too. He asked "Who OK'd this at Reebok?" and I asked "And who is their target demographic?" I think it's too sexxxy for me to take it seriously (the actual product aside) and it's obviously a women's shoe, so what good does it do to turn on the men watching? "Here honey, Happy Anniversary!" Sick. #reebokeasytonecommercial
As if to say... "What? What are you going to do about it? I defy you to come up with a rebuttal. Quit. Buy the shoes. Put highlights in your hair and wear spandex to the grocery store." #reebokeasytonecommercial
@Schrodinger's Cat: "we just made a commercial that ogles some lady's ass - what are you going to do about it? sit there and be offended and decry how gross it is on the internet?" #reebokeasytonecommercial
There are so many men who are going to take this as evidence (not that they actually required it to rationalize what they were already doing!) that women just love to be oggled. Every. One. Of. Us. I mean, it's a compliment, right? You humorless cat-adopters!!
And that's just another couple dozen sets of testicles I'm going to be needing to introduce to my rump-shaping kicks (or Birks, as the case is).
@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: They give us the cats, Miller Lite, and 14k gold jewelry... they keep the dogs, microbrews, and badass electronic gadgets for themselves.
This commercial is like watching the end result of the Playtex Marilyn/Jackie campaign that never got off the ground in Mad Men. Except it's real life. #reebokeasytonecommercial
Wow, it's like someone took all the things squats do, and lied about a shoe doing them, then charged the same price for a used barbell and weight set. #reebokeasytonecommercial
As far as I am aware (speaking as someone who has never run a day in her adult life) there is no connection between being an athlete and having your ass stared at instead of your power point presentation. Better luck next time, Reebok.

*sigh*
Plus, why do they always try to give single girls cats? Some of us like dogs. Are they trying to keep all the dogs for themselves?
Ticks me off.
