@J_skis this is some really tacky shit. Ya'll really not bright enough to find a better way to sell skis? Not denying Jason is a pretty OG dude, but maybe ease up on the lame ass marketing. Using serious issues to advertise a giveaway is pretty fuckin stupid. Maybe I ain't right to judge ya company by the people who buy your skis, but the only dude I've ever met who had a pair of Js was some dickhead BYU-I kid who kept sexually harassing my coworker. Fuckin sort yourselves out.
I don’t wanna get all political but honestly who the fuck cares about abortion. If you think abortion is evil than don’t abort your baby, if you don’t think its bad than abort your baby, and if you’re not having a baby then why in the fuck do you care about people aborting their baby or not I literally don’t understand. The amount of people in the world that actually abort their children is a pretty low number idk why its such a big deal when theres way bigger issues to solve plus the world is overpopulated. Like holy fuck just do whatever you want ffs
BLandzWho the fuck cares. I guarantee at some point in your life you laughed at a holocaust or racist joke, and I actually agree that they probs shouldn’t have said it but totally ripping JLev’s whole existence and his company is just retarded like whatever man sorry somebody who has a large following made a mistake once or twice in their life fucking cry about it pussy
I just screenshotted your comment and put it on my Instagram and LinkedIn stories as well as called my life counselor over how unsafe your words made me feel. R word? P word? Uh yea. Good luck finding your next job. Toodles!

The numbers are pretty high. In 2017 there were 860,000 abortions in the USA.

I'm gonna be the first dude here to admit making shitty racist/sexist jokes (and laughing at them) and various points in my life. Eventually, I figured out that that shit wasn't cool, and stopped. What's happening here is (hopefully), the same thing. Jskis says something shitty, people call them out on it, they apologize, and hopefully learn from the experience. Often people don't realize that they're saying bad shit unless you let them know.

Holy fuck really? God damn well I guess im wrong about that. I still stand by my original comment tho, I don’t give a fuck who has an abortion or not its none if my business. Even if it is a horrible thing to do, idgaf, I try my best to do the right thing in my life and thats all I have power over so thats all I worry about
I mean if you actually get offended by this you should seriously look into testosterone supplements because I bet your levels would be severely deficient. Its just a joke, chill the fuck out.
r00kieWhat is this? You cannot convince me that they didn't know what they were doing with that play on words, especially when then mentioned Texas in the IG post.
This tells me he really didn’t give a fuck, and just wrote the apology to please the robots who couldn’t figure out why they were offended but couldn’t resist jumping at the opportunity.
i think he shoulda stood his ground. Most people don’t care about carefully dissecting any little thing that has the potential to be offensive, extract whatever they can out of and carefully mold it into something that they can use to feel oppressed by, and signal their virtue by speaking out against it.
It’s just that their the most vocal by far. So you’ll hear from every single one of that tiny minority of psychopaths.
there’s a bit more very vocal people who adopt these opinions and will jump at any opportunity to feel offended, but they have no idea why. They done have their own thoughts so they adopt others.
I guarantee most people saw that ad, though “heh” and moved on.
And now look, you’ve got J Skis giving in, apologizing, adopting the opinions of the very vocal psychotic few and they don’t know why. They even donated to a terrible organization I guarantee they know nothing about.
They fall into that second category, they now think they agree that it was offensive and wrong but they haven’t really taken the time to figure out for themselves what the truth is, it’s hard to figure out what you yourself think independent from the pressure of the masses and ideologies you’re supposed to agree with.
Instead it’s easier to give up and join in the group consensus.
safarisamYeah, it was. It's hilarious that he was bitterly shit on so fucking hard that he made others say something nice about him. This is apples to oranges, and you know it. A user isn't the same as a company with a much larger presence, though it doesn't make either okay.
I was ready to say my bad about bringing it up but after reading this, nah.
Sure this is different, as we've both mentioned but a user being a general douche in both threads and saying homophobic shit is hilarious, a company(that's what like 3 people?) putting out an ad in poor taste is huge.
Sure that was handled pretty poorly but at least was putting up the retraction possibly even before that areply blew up in this thread. I'm not sure what else you want him to do at this point.
if they wanted to bring it up properly they should’ve brought up a donation fund for abortion in the first place .regardless, it’s low taste as this marketing decision was most likely chosen by a male . Comparing abortion rights to choosing a pair of skis is crappy. Also this is an issue that can be triggering and to me just shows a bit of insensitivity to the topic unless it’s directly affecting your body then pretty bad choice

Ironically the original ad didnt really offend me as the phrase basically has become a meme, however I will never by a pair of J Skis due to them donating to abortion clinics via a ski giveaway.
Seriously, just make fucking skis and sell them. If you want to make a pro-abortion non-profit on the side then do it but mixing the two is a bad idea.
I mean like they coulda just done a regular-ass post on social media being like "Hey yo buy our skis before snow hits the ground and customize them" or some shit, why the need to reach so hard for a joke that's going to bomb so hard and not only that piss off a bunch of people and land you in some hot water for 48 hrs

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?

True that makes sense. Either both in the first one or in each. Was deleted.
I think i was over it from the first thread anyway. By the time he tried to steer the ship back toward something funny I didn't care enough. Getting banned twice back to back in the thread didn't help.
I guess i assumed you had seen that.
Regardless as far as abortion i support sending it. I dont have kids, i don't want kids, i don't have a vagina, i think there are too many people on this planet, and it's non of my business in general.
As somebody that had to bus halfway across the country with ny parents for anti abortion protests as a kid I really don't like the "right to life" type peeps . Especially when those same groups give zero fucks about women and their babies after they're born.
It'd be cool if these people put as much energy into stopping racism or something.
Idk. It's wild that in 2021 this is the big issue to people. Especially people that are also against sex education and people even having access to condoms. Also medical care, because Jesus would smite us all if women or people in general could go somewhere for their needs.

Yuhhhhh this is a good little rant right here dude. I definitely think there’s way too many people here and right to lifers are just ignorant to straight up scientific fact but 🤷♂️🤷♂️ Different strokes for different folks, that’s the beauty of the good ol USA amirite

Scientific fact is that a fetus has hits own heart beat and can have a blood type different than the mother. So it is not in fact just part of her body. If you want to support abortion just dont hide behind the fact that they are taking a growing baby, cutting it into little bits, sucking it out with a vacuum then selling the leftovers to pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies. Its funny how people like to say they are "Pro Choice" and cant even bring themselves to say they are "Pro Abortion" instead or look into the reality of what is happening with the situation.

Abortion is an emergency measure , nobody wants to get there trust me.when someone takes that decision often it’s because it’s putting their own lives in danger or their life and their babies life in danger.

I think most pro choice people are perfectly comfortable saying they support abortion. I think what it boils down to is less about euphemisms and more about the women's right to choose if they have an abortion or not.
If conservatives care so much about babies, why dont they ever adopt any? Sure it happens but it's pretty rare. What isn't rare is many having tons of kids being there genes are so fancy.
Do religious people need to control everything? Especially things that have no impact on them? I mentioned racism because obviously the gays are bad and deserve no rights, women should submit to men so they pretty much don't need rights, but at least the racism issue you'd think we all could agree needs and has needed some attention.
What if the fetus you "save" is gay? Does it still matter? What if the mother is poor and needs financial assistance. Does she matter?
Idk every speck of semen deserves the right to become a baby, then grow up in a world where the same people that forced it's existence can hate it forever. If there isn't a good reason like race or sexuality I'm sure they'll find something.
I don't masturbate any more because i believe all semen is a baby making gift from god. Once i marry i plan to make up for it by being fruitful and populating the earth.

I’m not hiding shit. I’m pro abortion. Conservatives are so full of themselves, going on about “bUt The FetUs is AliVe” when abortion can occur much before a fetus has a heartbeat and it’s nothing more than a gob of cells like your fingernail. Don’t act like you give 2 fucks about life when you do nothing for the women who can’t abort their children. You really want to tell me that if your sister or mother or daughter was raped and she wanted to abort that baby, you’d be against that decision? Or if it was determined her pregnancy could injure or even kill her? Disgusting.

Not everyone that is Pro-Life is because religion. I am not Christian and I do not support abortion. In my mind, just because life is dependent on a mother doesnt mean you can just terminate it. If you are ok with abortion where do you draw the line? Can you kill a fetus 20 min before its born? After its born but still has the umbilical cord? 3 weeks before its born? 3 months before its born? That is why the Texas law makes sense IMO because it draws the line at a detectable heart beat.
Most anyone knows how reproduction works, condoms are basically free, there is the Plan B pill (Which I am cool with) but people make poor choices and wait until they have to kill something inside them to get out of it which is something I dont agree with.
Maybe I have a different perspective because I have kids but I will never forget the first time I heard my baby's heart beat on the machine. It just hit me that my Wife had a life growing inside her that I helped create and whatever the circumstance I had to be there to protect that life. The thought of a doctor mutilating that and taking it away is sickening to me.
There are plenty of programs like WIC etc out there to help single mothers and yeah its hard but you have to deal with the consequences of your actions just like as a guy you are on the hook for child support if you get a girl pregnant.
when I saw the post I genuinely thought they were talking about "my body my choice" as a play on words for people hating on having to get vaccinated or wear a mask. abortion didn't even cross my mind. I think this got blow way out of proportion and people need to chill out.
but then again what do I know I'm some degenerate ski bum... oh wait

At least you are honest about it. That is the point of the Texas bill, it bans abortion after a heartbeat is detected. Im down with things like the Plan B pill for sure. There are tons of programs for single mothers here is a site with a list in Colorado:
Every time I make a paycheck a percent goes to help single moms through programs like WIC, SNAP and other welfare.
To be clear, I am down with abortion due to extreme medical conditions posing a risk to the mother. The reality is that accounts for less than 1% of abortions in the US:
ElcheapoI bought some jskis and they are not tacky kooks, the complete opposite tbh, and the customer service is incredibly good and fast, might want to do your dd before making statements like that, just sayin.
I think it's less about the skis and more about their use of a hot-topic issue as a marketing strategy.
That’s not a heartbeat. Not in the same way you’re referring to your heart beating in your chest right now.

You do realize women can get pregnant even when they have birth control / protection and sometimes they don’t have symptoms next thing you know they find out their period is late and they can’t even get abortion anymore. Anyways kinda wanna peace out of this but this is a sensitive topic for me and men deciding on women reproductives right bothers me ✌🏼

The fact that you think the government programs we have should be sufficient for women with children shows how out of touch you are. Programs like WIC are great, but they are far from being succifient to support new moms and babies.

DesertStixThat’s not a heartbeat. Not in the same way you’re referring to your heart beating in your chest right now.
Its a heart, pumping blood through a body, that can be picked up on a heart rate monitor. You can literally hear it make a little "whew, whew whew" sound when you go in for pregnancy checkups.
Hey unless you have more of a medical background I’m going to go with what they say. She works for a globally recognized pediatric hospital (expert in her field) and I didn’t cherry pick this at all:
“Rather, at six weeks of pregnancy, an ultrasound can detect "a little flutter in the area that will become the future heart of the baby," said Dr. Saima Aftab, medical director of the Fetal Care Center at Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami. This flutter happens because the group of cells that will become the future "pacemaker" of the heart gain the capacity to fire electrical signals, she said.”
So. Like I said, not the same as the heart in your chest right now.
