A German Reebok ad that advised patrons of the brand's partner gyms to "Cheat on your girlfriend, not on your workout" has been pulled after complaints from probably every woman in Germany. And rightfully so. The ad makes Reebok look like a bunch of dumb bros, and it's not funny or clever enough to defend as an example of anti-PC humor. Who do they think they are, Ashley Madison?
