New nike campaign is a little bit offensive

Well I think trolls should stop living under bridges, but I'm not going to tell them how to live their lives.

No, her coach at Cornell would play RHCP and Destiny's Child songs on cue.

ill wear a thong if i want too, and ill still kick your ass in a race f***er

I like to run, I like music, why is it so bad to listen to music while I run?

if you can listen to music and not get pissed off at those wires then you need to go f***ing run a little f***ing faster you piece of shit, allways running slow bitch as f***ing hell you c***

nike's market base is so huge they are bound to do something us real runners will not like.

you sir are a fat juicy hairy c***

I run fast and I don't get pissed off at those wires and I don't have anger issues either.

Props to that link...gotta read THE BOOK

GO

NOW

WHAT THE **** are you waiting for?!

All of you people who've got your ipods/mp3s/whatever-the-hell-elses playing while you're running need to get off my f*cking track, stay out of lane one, get off the city streets, stay out of races... you know what, just run inside on your treadmills because YOU ARE NOT RUNNERS. Runners acknowledge one another in passing, stay out of lane one on their easy runs, race the clock or the athlete beside them, and DO NOT NEED an extra stimulus on their long run... they enjoy running.

Technology is ruining the kinship that was once innate in runners. We are no longer a family, we no longer enjoy running for running's sake. We have become jocks. We will never be the athletes of old, painting pictures with our sweat, rasps, late race log-legged footsteps...

Nike finally did it.

The same ad agency did the Pearl AND Nike campaigns - CP+B

does this sentence have meaning?

Get thee to the RWOL forums.

CP&B doesn't do Nike's ads...Weiden does.

I personally think this is a little disturbing. Nike has always catered their products to elite athletes and because they made good products and the athletes loved it, it trickled down to the masses. This recent ad campaign makes it look like all they care about is the bottom line. After all, there are a lot more non-runners out there to sell shoes to than there are elite runners. But if they start just focusing on average joe jogger I think the overall quality will decline.

Did occur to me that letsrun was an odd place for the Nike+ ad, esp'y the one featuring the guy who makes fun of runners' shorts or the one featuring the college girl who replaced her coach with a Nike+.... Not exactly geared to the market they're trying to reach.

I find it funny that the guy who is embarrassed to wear short shorts isn't embarrassed you can see his boobs bounce when he runs.

I'll start showing less leg while running down the street if others agree to start showing less ass and muffin tops while walking down the street.
