[Faust29]

Not the best marketing move... Or sheer brilliance?

Like we really need additional reason to continue ignoring Special Ed. And Playboy.

 

[Danimal]

I don't know why they would do that.
Guys are not the Mtb demographic.

:/

What did I do?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
If those were playboy Bunnies they were the runts of the litter!
First off, it's in a country far far away so I don't give a fahhhhhshizzle!
Second off, is having to girls dressed up like black rabbits in front of a bicycle sexist? How come they aren't claiming racist because they were dressed in black?

I guess I just don't get this world...
But I'm open for learnin'...

 

[mike]

Runts...LOL. I wasn't gonna say anything...but they look like...


mountain bikers BWAHAHA! (Hey, it's okay to hit your own group, right?)

HA HA HA HA HAH AH HAH! Now THAT'S, an insult! LOL!

So you made me think even further. "How come just BEING a Playboy Bunny is not considered sexist?" Whose drawing these lines???
How come Hooters is not sexist? So if girls from Hooters were standing in the Hooter's parking lot in front of some Specialized commuter bike stopping in for lunch, THEN it would be considered sexist?
I think a Specialized bike sitting in front of a couple Playboy Bunnies would be considered, "gasp"... COMMERCIAL!

Lord knows that the industry has NEVER used women to sell anything . . . right?

Only sexist to the media and those who follow it. In the real world girls dress sexy and enjoy it. Boys drool.

 

[MnMDan]

There are plenty of reasons to dislike the company...this just piles on another reason.

 

[tortoise]

HA HA HA HA HAH AH HAH! Now

Lord knows that the industry has NEVER used women to sell anything . . . right?

Not at all...

Let's say a guy wants to be a body painter, do I post an ad on Craigslist? Or is that a little creepy...

Ohhhh yeah. All bike related, I assure you. Just don't get caught polishing your stanchions!
