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.

Bull!

The ad absolutely does imply that she looks pretty in her jeans because of her genes.

And whether the ad will sell more jeans or not, it has certainly turned some people away.

So which part is "Bull?"

Care to elaborate? Which aspect of the discussion of this ad has anything at all to do with politics?

There is nothing wrong with the ad
It’s obvious that she is a beautiful woman because of her genes, not because of any surgeries, not because she dies her hair, not because she put some way too much make up. She’s just simply beautiful and you get simply beautiful like that because of your biological genes.
Don’t fall into the rabbit hole that this was anything more than a play on words Jeans vs Genes……simple

Exactly. I never even thought about these jeans and now I want them.

What if they really weren't outraged but people wanted to stir the pot and say others were outraged? But most have made up their minds so truth doesn't matter

The jeans are flying off the shelves and the company stock is up 20% last I heard. I want to know, since he actually has a horse in this race, how Gene Simmons feels about all this.

Everybody has genes...some are more desirable than others. But race has ZERO to do with that. Ugly comes in all colors, and so does beauty.

But it was ok for Beyonce and her cleavage to sell Levi's. Talented and beautiful Sydney gets destroyed for doing the same for American Eagle. Only in America.

Beyonce's ad did not dance around the third rail of race like this one does. And deliberately from the look of it. Very savvy advertising though. They are selling pants.

So you haven't seen the Beyonce commercials.

And it isn't Sweeney who is being criticized, it is the advertisement itself.

Since when is it a crime to have good genes and look good in your jeans?? 99% of the people in this country didn't even think about Hitler when they saw this ad! Why does everyone have to walk on eggshells to keep the 1% from getting hysterical? So ridiculous.

Well, woke strikes again. Their comment about her being racist as only caused the jeans to sell out. They can not keep them in stock because of all the news about her.
