I can't figure out how some people can turn an ad from a clothing company about JEANS and turn it into a racial issue. This crap has got to stop.

It sounded like the commercial added she had good genes to look that pretty in her jeans.


It is a touchy subject given world history. Seems innocent on her part but kind of stupid on the part of the company putting out the ad. Like throwing a big rock in a pond that is already rippling. If your goal is a peaceful scene on that pond. If it is to get a lot of air time then it has seemed to work. I do not know if such a tactic will sell more jeans or not. It might turn people away.

I see *how* it happened but what I can't figure out is *why* it happened. Someone took the time to think of the seven degrees of separation to get from an advertisement of questionable taste to being offended about acknowledging genetics.

They wanted to be offended and they wanted to disparage either the actress, the product, or the company but why?

Well, I now know something I did not before - American Eagle sells jeans. Not those crappy Levi's, or my go-to Wranglers, but an option for something a little nicer, more dressy occasion than working in the back 40. Like a casual dinner out.

Would a nice restaurant be OK with American Eagle jeans?

AE Dreamy Drapey Stretch Ripped Super High-Waisted Baggy Wide-Leg Jean


These make about as much sense to me as the banana taped to the wall being art?

And they would be damn cold in certain times of the year.

Well, as long as your definition of a "nice" restaurant isn't one that primarily serves burnt coffee, granola, or açaí bowls.

Because OUTRAGE is all they have. They've made their own lives miserable. Cheers!

She seems to be getting really good at marketing herself.

Saw an opinion piece from one of the late night guys suggesting Bud Light should latch onto her asap and capitalize on her persona and try and regain some lost market share. The point made was that she is much more in line with their successful model than that one experiment that failed.

Not sure. She is a very intelligent actress. 27 years old it looks like. Hosted SNL recently.


I have not seen all the ad myself. Check out this video from this search, sydney sweeney ad american eagle https://share.google/kj48EReRyt9OWyyL0

It does seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill.

Thanx! I'll check it later. Right now I have to drink this coffee and eat this doughnut before someone catches me.

My mom (92) understands the ad, speaking with her granddaughter this week.
She laughed LuLu doesn’t need Sydney, but I can think of 20 or so brands would definitely benefit.
She then pointed out, I wore that AE Jean style in the 70s. They are in the blue closet size 2. Mine are Blue too!
