Reebok Gets $25 Million Kick in the Ass For Booty Toning Claims

This is too funny. And we saw it coming the day the campaign was launched. Remember the Reebok Retone campaign that informed people their butts would be whipped into shape if only they bought Reebok Reetone shoes? Well, that claim has caught up with Reebok and bit the company in the ass.

This morning the Federal Trade Commission announced it has reached a $25 million settlement with Reebok over claims the company made in the campaign. The $35 million will be placed in a fund to reimburse people who bought the shoes thinking (idiotically, we might add) they would miraculously made their ass look perfect.

It’s all very simple. Don’t make claims you can’t support. Barring that, don’t expect idiotic consumers to have any level of intelligence either. Any moron would know it’s not the shoes that firm up your ass. It’s the amount of proper exercise your flabby ass undergoes that makes it firm regardless of what kind of shoes you wear.

Psychology says the most accomplished boomers in their 70s spend their free time in ways their 40-year-old selves would have found embarrassing—slowly, unproductively, without measurable outcome—and the ones who made that transition most completely are almost always the ones who describe their later years as the happiest, because they finally stopped performing success and started actually experiencing their own life

The real digital divide in the age of AI isn’t between young and old. It’s between people who trust the first answer they’re given and people who’ve spent a lifetime learning to interrogate confident-sounding nonsense. That second group skews much older than the tech industry wants to admit

Psychology says the boomer women who are most difficult to be close to in later life aren’t the ones who suffered most—they’re the ones who spent decades converting their suffering into a permanent orientation towards the world, one that keeps score, expects compensation, and experiences other people’s happiness as a quiet affront to everything they’ve had to endure
