Poll of the Day > Man in SEXIST COMMERCIAL Fears his Acting AND Teaching Career are SUNK over it!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Vancouver Based actor, Sean Hunter, the "Peloton Husband" in the now infamous role in a commercial he landed that has been denounced as SEXIST by social media is speaking out over his fears of his current career as an ELEMENTARY TEACHER and Actor being sunk over this!!

He said the shock of being thrust in this negative spotlight caused a nearly 10% drop in the company's stsock has him worried that this will damage his fledging acting career and his status as a teacher

He said "I currently sit here hoping that i'll be able to continue auditioning for commercials without any taint, and that if my students happen to find the commercial and recognize me, they won't thinkabout me any different than they already know me"

The commercial was called "The Gift That Gives Back" as a husband gifts his wife an expensive exercise bike from the company and she was then gasping with happiness and then seen in montages of a "year long" documentation of herself working out in sweaty days while her husband watches and then finishes a year later looking THE SAME and said she couldn't have done this without him.

Viewers immediately trashed the commercial causing the stock to sink and wiping out nearly a BILLION in value. They said it was misogynistic implying that only women need to keep their figure to stay "beautiful" while the husband laid back and did nothing but watch her

It fell ONCE AGAIN by 5% losing more money as the stock was at 37 share on Monday and is now at 31 a share by Thursday.

He was asked to give his perspective after the criticisms said that his FRIENDS found the commercial to be "positive"

One of his friends joked "I always knew you would make the big time" but he said "I appreciated the compliments, but in my eyes it was just a small role. I was simply grateful for the experience"

But his life turned upside down when he saw the commercial had thousands of down votes and couldn't believe what was happening.

Now he said his 5 seconds of air time created malicious feedback as his friend now says he's a symbol of PATRIARCHY after this

He said "Unfortunately. the problem is that viewers can mistake an actor as that person after they've seen themon television instead of a pereson given ascript with no opinion on what they are told to portray"

Hunter now wonders what repercussions will come of this as he prides myself of being a good teacher and developing actor and can only hope he can recover from this and that it doesn't hurt his overall career..and he hopes his co-star, the woman who had 25 seconds of airtime doesn't have the same falling out

The company is now expected to STOP running the commercial for the holidays which was expected to be its "top seller".

His IMDB page showed he only starred in a few roles such as Lucifer when it filmed in Canada.

Do you think his career is gonna nosedive from this?

Why should his career be over? He didnt do anything wrong. But then again, people are ducking insane and think something is wrong with this commercial. Though, most actual people Ive talked to understand how real life works, so...

Ah. Milking a shit story? Still if anything he's getting publicity so I doubt it's harmful to him or anyone who acted in the ad.

Edit: I also wish I didn't read those Twitter posts.

Sooner or later this species is going to stupid itself into extinction.
And if this is any indication, it's not going to be later.

I'll be outraged with them as soon as people start caring that the husband is a stereotypical moron to his genius wife in 95% of all commercials.

It actually saddened me this evening when I checked on the original topic and saw that, of course, some trolls had voted yes.

I thought for once, just once, PotD had found something we all had common ground on. That the ad isn't sexist and twitter tantrums are fucking stupid.
Seriously, don't you think it would be a huge net positive for humanity if twitter ceased to exist and nothing like it replaced it?

Being as polls are open to anyone chances are the yes votes are not from folk who post here.
