Clearly a joke/truth. Sex seems to be so casual that people forget the main biological purpose of it, which comes with weight.

If sex for procreation is so important why was Mary a virgin when she had Jesus?

obviously the gays are bad and deserve no rights, women should submit to men so they pretty much don't need rights

I don't masturbate any more because god.

Where did he say homophobic slurs? I literally didn't read the thread/never checked his user history to see whether or not he had been banned. THE THREAD, THE CONCEPT OF HIM ASKING PEOPLE TO KISS UP TO HIM FOR FREE SHIT THAT HE GOT FOR FREE IS FUNNY I never said he's funny?? I think we're both on way different and confused pages here?

I’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

Rewriting a slogan =/= JSkis hating women/against abortions

They’ve attempted to make amends with the ski community by showing solidarity with the pro-choice movement by donating $1000 to the PPGT. I think a great first step is allowing people to hold themselves accountable for making a mistake, especially one as minor as this.

People are also misreading the situation. No one gives a fuck if your pro life or pro choice, it’s about using a serious political issue in order to create a catchy slogan for some giveaway.

I think there is something to be said about them using the same exact saying last year, because us as a community didn’t hold them accountable.

Speaking of biology, it's also almost like we have forgotten that humans aren't biologically monogamous so we continue to marry because Yahweh yet human nature is to procreate as much as possible.
 
Well this got ugly...

This is the timeline as I saw it...

-Last year, Jskis put out this same promotion, but it didnt get any heat because at the time, the big topic when it came to CHOICE was an election.

-This year they tried to do the same, but after what happened in Texas, everyone is NOT okay with the situation, and the whole thing became a bit inappropriate...

-People lashed out a bit, Jskis replied to the backlash with some defensiveness like 'wait wtf we ran this last year what the heck'

-Cody Townsend gave them a super good idea to throw in 1000$ towards PP, while also saying 'ehhh not a good look guys, lets not capitalize off of some suffering'

-JSkis realized all of this, owned their mistake, and changed their promotion and kicked in 1000$ towards PP like Cody suggested.

Look we are all human... they got a bit defensive when they were getting called out on it at first, and said some replies that were a bit unsavoury, and you know what... we have ALL done that because nobody wants to admit when they are wrong... however, they came to the right realization about it all and apologized. They made changes pretty fast here.

Some people will be too pissed off at them to buy their gear due to the whole thing, but thats just how things go sometimes. I feel they made the corrections they needed to, and apologized sincerely. I dont think they are actually bad guys here, but rather just flew a bit too close to the sun with a bad look at a time when people are very much on edge with anything related to this topic.

One all of this thing this did do though... is it definitely brought a lot of attention to a pretty creative promotion (despite it's original title) that is now going to send 1000$ to planned parenthood, and that's pretty cool.

this. We didnt hold them accountable last year, because it wasnt a big sticking portion of the news cycle, and something happened along the way (texas) that totally sensitized everyone to the situation...

Flavor blasted goldfish is good for maybe the first handful but if your binging on a giant costco carton the classic is the way to go.

The rainbow-colored golfish are undeniably the best. Flavorblasted is just covered in gunky powder that isn't all that flavorful

i agree, in fact just give me the og
 
Leaving my personal convictions out of here cause they're not helpful to this thread but man, the more I think about it, the crazier it seems to me that this campaign ever got out of a brainstorm phase. Making light of an issue that people on all sides have deeply rooted moral convictions about and is currently at the forefront of national discussion/tension was of course going to be a disaster. And the the PR response is to pick one side in an attempt to please, which doesn't really erase the damage that has already been caused, and totally alienates the other. Makes me think I should have applied to J/4frnt a couple years ago but thought I was under qualified.
 
[tag=38820]@eheath[/tag] you gonna do something about this guy saying these horrible things?

Goldfish are inferior snack crackers regardless of flavor. Cheez-its are superior in nearly every way.

If you prefer flavor blasted Goldfish over OG, core Golfish then you're pretty much ISIS in my book.
 
The real issue with this thread and the J Skis “Pro Choice” marketing campaign is this- it fucking worked. Incredibly controversial, bad taste, and out of touch, but absolutely brilliant. The “Pro Choice” giveaway has created wave after wave of attention from skiers and non-skiers alike. How many followers did they gain since the original campaign launch? Sure they lost some, but regardless of how controversial this is, J Skis marketing got the attention, clicks/engagement, and likes/comments of tens of thousands of people. Complain all you want about what they did and how they leveraged a huge issue in the US and Texas, but the more you talk about it, the more people will go to their site, Instagram, and Facebook to learn more about what they did wrong, then redirect their attention to the skis (maybe even make or plan a purchase).

In marketing not all attention is good attention. No one saw this fiasco and thought 'this really makes me want to spend hundreds of dollars on their skis.' I wise I was still a student cause this would supply so much content for what not to do.
 
hey guys I'm thinking about getting some vishnus this year, but I would like to get better at jumps. Will they still work for 720s? The biggest jump at my 300 vert local is 20 feet. I'm also not sure if I should get the 177s or the 183s. Thanks guys!
