Biffbarfwhy are we upset at this pic again? I don't even know what it's referencing.
DingoSeanTheyre basically leveraging the whole Pro Choice thing into a cheesy marketing campaign and promotion where the winner can choose any ski on the market and Jskis will buy it for them...
But essentially its a bit tone-deaf when womens rights are currently being gutted by shithole governments like in texas.
animatorreferencing "my body my choice" which refers to the recent laws against abortion (and just the general consensus of it), the my body my choice is pretty self explanatory, but people have generated that to show their support for the fact that women should be allowed to choose to abort a pregnancy if they wish to (and they fucking should). j skis is taking that and using it as marketing but its in pretty shitty taste in my opinion, its a very sensitive issue right now and to use to market skis (that really are pretty vanilla in my opinion) is pretty sus. do better guys
CLQI thought that saying was co-opted by anti-vaxers. At least thats why I thought when I saw that pic.
BiffbarfWas that what the sign was about pre-photoshop?
SendyMcSendyfaceyeah, but not the one in the meme, I think they just erased whatever random shit was on there
Biffbarfok so the picture is less relevant than the words is what you're sayin

keagan.karstensI’m a pro choice republican and jskis needs to keep politics the fuck out of skiing. Jskis is the “fun” brand that’s known for being funny and always having a good time. This though, just doesn’t look good. I think we force politics into everythingggg nowadays and it’s honestly exhausting. Like skiing is an escape from stress and tough stuff. No need to bring that to the sport

DingoSeanWhat does that mean for you? like pro-choice to open carry? pro-choice to project religious beliefs? pro-choice not get the vaccine? I feel like a lot of conservatives these days seem to use the same line of pro-choice to defend whatever agenda theyre pushing for at any one point..
But if you are indeed a womens-choice republican then at least we can shake hands on that one!

DesertStixIt doesn’t surprise me at all that NS is defending that shitty Netflix special.

foolmetwiceJ skis has always been pretty cringe imo. Wack marketing/graphics, design isn’t appealing, not a fan of the skiers they sponsor. Generally feel they are the jerrys of the indie brands. Trying to think of a comparable brand in another space… DC shoes maybe?
CatdickBojanglesDid you even watch it?
DesertStixYes and it was bad

CatdickBojanglesSome of the marketing is cringe. Some of the marketing is genius. They sell a fuck pile of skis though so something is working. They also make great skis.
animatorIdk if I’d call J skis great…..
CatdickBojanglesThe all play was a blast to ski, honestly wish I would've kept mine.
