一个广告引起的故事

感恩节里看到Peloton广告满天飞.....

A faceless husband is waiting for her with a surprise gift!

"A PELOTON?!?" she shrieks -- but in delight, or fear?

The unnamed woman begins to document her fitness journey in a vlog, and audiences briefly wonder if this woman is a professional YouTuber.

 

Is this the face of a woman asking for help? Or is she absolutely in love with her Peloton stationary bike? Twitter believes the former.

She rides after work. She rides, begrudgingly, at 6 in the morning.

She rides straight out of winter and into the spring -- one can tell time has passed because the windows now reveal a lush and green backyard.

She records it all, though her large, doe-like eyes seem to plead those of us watching at home for help.

Who is making her vlog after all?

Now it's fall, and our unnamed protagonist has cycled her way through three seasons in 20 seconds! From the screen in front of her, a Peloton instructor finally acknowledges her efforts -- "Let's go, Grace from Boston!"

Grace, still home in Boston, is thrilled. Viewers are thrilled to learn this woman has a name.

"She's So High," a Tal Bachman song that debuted 20 years ago, swells as Grace unveils her yearlong vlog to her husband -- it was he she was speaking to all along!

"A year ago, I didn't realize how much this would change me," she says, now a full believer.

Audiences cannot immediately notice how Grace from Boston, as fit now as she was at the ad's start, has changed, other than she is now named and perhaps has joined a fitness cult.

She thanks her husband for the gift, though it seems as though she did not initially ask for the exercise machine in the first place.
