Cutting Student MetroCards: Vote Delayed

Read MoreReebok wants us to be fat
This Reebok (or Rbk as they are now going with) shoes subway campaign is starting to bug me.
They are using this “Run easy” slogan now. Seriously? Isn’t the point of running to NOT run easy? Last I heard, runners wanted to break a sweat.
One of the signs is particularly obnoxious. It says, “Stop and smell the garbage. Run easy.” Perhaps by “garbage” they mean the quality of their product. Surely they aren’t taking a jab at the home city of their customers.
Here’s another. “A 10 minute mile is just as far as a 6 minute mile. Run easy.” Why not just say screw the mile, get a cab. Cab easy.
It sounds like they are trying to promote being slow. Maybe its a ploy for a whole other shoe product. They are trying to fatten us up so that we have to buy their velcro sneakers when we are too fat to reach our shoelaces.
Live from the subway, back to you in studio…

I’ve been trying to figure out what the point of the ad campaign is and the only thing I got is Reebok essentially saying, “We know that everyone isn’t going to be a superstar athelete, and you don’t need to be (as opposed to like gatorade commercials) so run at your own pace, in OUR SHOES, and everything will be all good…”
ReplyAnd stop calling me Shirley. They are definitely taking a jab at NYC, this is a site specific campaign. At the Fort Lauderdale Air & Sea Show Rbk had Banner plane ads that said: “Be kind to your implants, Miami. Run easy.”
ReplyI would suggest changing that to “Be kind to your implants, Miami. Run topless.”
ReplyI would agree with that suggestion.
I think the ads are ridiculous. It’d be better if they said “Hey, see that guy who’s in shape? He runs. You’re fat. You need to run. Buy our shoes. Maybe then you’ll fit in one seat.”
That’d be better.

ReplyIt’s my belief that mesothelioma is actually the most fatal cancer. It’s got unusual qualities. The more I really look at it the harder I am persuaded it does not conduct itself like a real solid cells cancer. If mesothelioma is really a rogue virus-like infection, in that case there is the possibility of developing a vaccine and also offering vaccination to asbestos open people who are open to high risk of developing potential asbestos associated malignancies. Thanks for giving your ideas for this important ailment.
ReplyI have learned newer and more effective things through your web site. One other thing I’d really like to say is newer personal computer os’s are inclined to allow extra memory to be utilized, but they in addition demand more ram simply to function.

ReplyI have noticed that in digital cameras, extraordinary receptors help to aim automatically. Those sensors with some cams change in in the area of contrast, while others make use of a beam with infra-red (IR) light, specifically in low lighting. Higher specification cameras from time to time use a combination of both programs and might have Face Priority AF where the photographic camera can ‘See’ some sort of face as you concentrate only on that. Thank you for sharing your ideas on this website.
ReplyThanks for this wonderful article. Yet another thing to mention is that almost all digital cameras come equipped with any zoom lens that enables more or less of a scene for being included by ‘zooming’ in and out. These types of changes in the aim length are usually reflected inside viewfinder and on huge display screen right on the back of the particular camera.
ReplyI have discovered some points through your site post. One other thing I would like to convey is that there are various games that you can buy which are designed specifically for toddler age small children. They contain pattern identification, colors, wildlife, and shapes. These commonly focus on familiarization in lieu of memorization. This makes children and kids occupied without sensing like they are learning. Thanks
ReplyThanks for these pointers. One thing I additionally believe is always that credit cards supplying a 0% monthly interest often appeal to consumers with zero monthly interest, instant approval and easy over-the-internet balance transfers, however beware of the real factor that will certainly void the 0% easy streets annual percentage rate as well as throw you out into the poor house quick.
ReplyThanks for helping me to get new thoughts about personal computers. I also possess the belief that certain of the best ways to keep your laptop computer in perfect condition has been a hard plastic-type case, or even shell, that will fit over the top of the computer. These kinds of protective gear usually are model targeted since they are made to fit perfectly across the natural covering. You can buy all of them directly from the seller, or through third party places if they are designed for your notebook computer, however don’t assume all laptop may have a shell on the market. All over again, thanks for your guidelines.
ReplyThanks for these tips. One thing I should also believe is that often credit cards featuring a 0% monthly interest often bait consumers in zero rate, instant acceptance and easy on the net balance transfers, however beware of the top factor that may void your current 0% easy street annual percentage rate and throw you out into the bad house in no time.
Reply[...] Easy site doesn’t really hint at any such ironic intentions. And even if that was the intent, the messaging seems to have fallen flatter than flat with other subway denizens: It sounds like they are trying to promote being slow. Maybe its a ploy for a whole other shoe [...]
