What say ye, F15?

[dmorgendorffer]

Uh... who wears that to go running? That's really my problem with it, it is just bizarre to see someone out for a jog in their bikini.

[duckker]

I don't remember that picture being taken...

[dmorgendorffer]

I guess it could actually be practical. That top looks easier to nurse in than a traditional sports bra, and if the child falls out of the stroller into a pool or lake she is ready to dive in.

Obviously I'm being stalked and filmed without permission!!

I am meh about it. If I looked like her I would jog in a bikini too. I am more jealous over the sweet stroller.

[duckker]

I showed this to my husband, since I'm agitating for a jogging stroller and clearly this is the solution. The following dialogue ensued:

DH: Honey, that stroller won't make you look like that.
Me: It won't? Oh, it's the bikini. The bikini will make me look like that.
DH: No, love, it won't.
Me: What will make me look like that?
DH: Different parents.

I don't think we'll be buying the million dollar jog stroller.

What in the world? Maybe that's a running bikini lol

To me it feels like another instalment of the "sell-stuff-with-sex" series. Oldest trick in the book, put a (almost) naked woman with your product and watch it sell...
And in this case they are trying to hide behind "but she's a mom of two!". So what? She could be a mom of 0 or 10+ for all I care, her body is still used as a means to sell a product. Would she want her daughter exposed like that?

It is hilarious that the model is wearing a bikini while running with her $800 + stroller...but considering who the target audience is for the product, I get it. I also find some of their previous advertising amusing, especially the second one where they (clearly) didn't bother to put a kid in it:

I don't see what the big deal is. She is a mom, and she looks like that. Awesome for her. I'd be annoyed if she wasn't a mom, and she was just a random model. If I looked like that, I might go running like that too, depending on where I lived.

I'm not personally offended either. I am jealous of her body, but she is a model.... it is her job to look like that. I dont' think I would go running like that though, for practical reasons: it doesn't look sturdy enough for the girls, and I feel like I would get a wedgie. I think spandex shorts & a sports bra looks just as sexy.

 I agree.  I get inappropriate comments yelled at me when I'm out running and that's in normal workout clothing and I do not look anything like that.  I can not imagine what it would be like to be running in a tiny bikini.  Besides being physically uncomfortable as toadandbuggie points out I would be uncomfortable  with that kind of attention when I am out for a jog.

Let's see David Beckham pushing a stroller please and thank you.

I'd buy that.

[Mom2Ms]

I don't really have too much of an opinion. Good for her. I think it's important to remember she's a model. I could possibly see how this ad might be offensive or hurtful to women. The fact is, pregnancy can do some pretty nasty things to your body. And it's not just about weight. Things just don't go back to where they were quickly, or sometimes ever. I think this ad, could, send a message "hey this is what you should look like or try to look like." Some people may never get to their prepregnancy body, some might, but the pressure to live up to some unattainable standard could be taken from this ad.

I don't understand the swimsuit.

This is what happens when I'm bored and have Photoshop.

This ad doesn't make me want to run with a baby. It makes me want to make a baby!

[toadandbuggie]

michelle142 Nobody could ever be offended by THAT!

Everyone in my neck of the woods!!! (Except for me.) it's a freaking lululemon fashion show out here, and it's ridiculous. I feel so frumpy in my yoga pants and oversized t shirt every time I'm out.
