Planet Hypocrisy

I know what it's like at Planet Fitness, it's clean, it's adequate, it's a good value. The place is plastered with signs advising patrons that PF is a "No Judgement Zone," that "NO CRITICS" are allowed, which makes me feel a little jerkish pointing out that in this country there is only one e in "judgment," but whatever, proper spelling is small potatoes when you have a company looking out for your dignity, right.

Here is a recent ad campaign of theirs:


Ok, so...no consumer judgment allowed at Planet Fitness, but if you tremendously enjoy fitness then the company reserves the right to mistreat you, y'know, for commerce. Not to get too pious but I know smart interesting people who have certain verbal tics, they repeat things over and over, wtf. And, hi, that "dum dum dum dum dum" at the end is totally ripped off from the Mormon episode of South Park, so, as much as I think PF is a decent facility, PPPPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is all I have left to say about this ad.
