I read a couple messages where people on here were speculating what the beer, Wejo running, woman and puma symbol ad on the front page means. It is so obvious I just assumed these people were playing dumb:
Letsrun.com and Puma are sponsoring a party in Boston after the women's marathon Olympic trials. Hence, the bear (party), woman (women's trials) and puma symbol over the Boston skyline.

Beer
That just doesn't add up.
It has to be something about how wejo loves running past gigantic mugs of orange beer with shadowy women watching.

No, that was correct. The menstruation at the all-female marathon is sure to attract bears to the party.
It's taken directly from Revelations. Something about the apocalypse.
He races the bears. Grr
Thank you for correcting me. Now I feel stupid. What a foolish mistake. Of course, I intended to type "beer" and not "bear".

Here's the thing. This mistake didn't happen by accidentally hitting the wrong key. It was not a typo. This didn't happen because you were unfamiliar with the word and missed a silent consonant, or due to a complex English nuance such as the letters "gh" representing an "f" sound.
You actually mixed up your homophones. That's an egregious error on par with writing "their" or "there" instead of "they're" and shows that you are a dumbass. Probably the only thing worse would have been to mix up "its" with "it's", which would have demonstrated a lack of understanding of the English language.
Did I ever claim not be a dumbass? All I claimed was that the message in the ad on the front page is obvious. If a dumbass like me can see through the message, then it must be obvious.
For a glass of lukewarm beer and a cheap hooker, Wejo handed control of letsrun to Puma.

Actually, what it may demonstrate is that the guy is a competent typist. People who type a lot develop muscle motor patterns that cover complete words, extending beyond pecking at a keyboard with two fingers and moving their lips as they sound out words. Thus, even mistakes that don't involve hitting a neighboring key can be considered typos, in the sense that a mental tic takes over and causes him to type the more frequently used "bear" rather than "beer."
Of course, he could just be an idiot -- but you can't conclude that from the limited information you have at your disposal.
You may be right. Honestly, I was just trying to be a dick.

I don't think that a simple mistake like that shows anything terribly bad about the OP. I do, however, think that your response to said mistake shows that you are a douche bag. Even if the OP is a moron and doesn't know the difference between the words "beer" and "bear," it's better to be a poor speller than an asshole any day.
As for your statement that he mixed up homophones, what language do you speak that bear and beer are homophones?
I still think the beer and women is referring to the urban setting he will be moving too.
Beer and bear aren't homophones. Otherwise, a very compelling post.
I finally turned off my ad-blocker to figure out what you guys were talking about.
it is not obvious. it is elusive. take it in stages.
1st we see the beer, in the center and moving to the left. Muslim's read right to left...perhaps Wejo is converting and giving up alcohol, one of the requirements of Islam. The beer, like Wejos new found reading method, is moving to the left.
2nd we see the silhouette. the woman's flesh and identity are hidden...covered. again, fundamental to Islam. She moves to the right...which could represent the 1000 virgins waiting for him in Paradise.
3rd we see Wejo donning his letsrun gear and placed equidistant from both beer and silhouette. Wejo's image does represent an earlier version of him, which again could be his former non-muslim self.
Possibly, we are seeing a new commitment to sear off beer, women, and running. Why? Well...the 1000 virgins come at price. Perhaps that price is Wejo toeing the line of some Puma sponsored race geared in Letsrun and a camelbak full of C4.
it is all semiotics...
nice i\'ve been wondering. i just figured that letsrun was getting bought. i\'m impressed you knew the boston skyline. it\'s very vague and lame.
What I don't understand is how they got a picture of wejo, in full on track kit, turning right.
They're having a bear fiesta after the women's trials? that doesnt even make sense.
