I was all excited to get a Peleton as a gift until I learned it wasn't a dog breed.

Others seemed to believe that the original advert had appealed to them.
Maybe I'm a sociopath, but if I had a husband I would marry him all over again if he got me a Peloton for Christmas.💍

Also yes this is public wish list for:
1. A Peloton
2. A husband
Peloton’s new holiday commercial became an internet sensation in December after being accused of sexism.
The advert was initially released in November, showing a husband surprising his wife with a stationary exercise bike as a Christmas gift.
She is revealed as 'Grace in Boston' and the rest of the clip follows her over time using the device and making video dairies documenting her routine.
The video ends with the women telling here husband:
"A year ago, I didn't realize how much this would change me, thank you".
