There's a major development regarding Sydney Sweeney

Sex sells. Beautiful people sell. Beautiful people sell more than ugly people. HOW IS THIS NEW?
 
Imagine giving a shit about someone taking advantage of all of these endorsement deals. She's raking it in while these dorks cry on the internet. Good for her.
 
When I first heard about this, it was explained that the camera zoomed on her blue eyes to underscore the "genes"...I just finally watched the ad. Uhhh, no it didn't. They just made a pun using an attractive woman, I made the same genes/jeans joke thinking I was clever 20 years ago...

Here is our conundrum...say we "save America" and these people are back with more ammunition and more pissed than ever, if they are allowed to spiral out of control again, they will just create the excuse for Trump 2, we are dead. Both sides hate each other so much now, that nothing matters but shitting on the other. Life will have to get so bad first, we are willing to put differences aside. Many of us may not survive that.
 
Holy crap, 15 pages and over 700 replies of nutjobs screaming that this is a dog whistle for support of Nazi eugenics. I can't even imagine the thought processes that get a person to this point.
lol, they even had to lock it to "review reports."
As preposterous as their take on what is basically a daft ad campaign with a pun and hot model, the constant "teHwOKe" stuff in this thread is really cringeworthy.

I agree it is just a daft campaign but if it wasn't for idiots making this out to be a gateway for fascism then this thread wouldn't exist. Nobody would have even taken notice of it. It's more than Woke, it's just stupidity because it is so self defeating. Before even coming on here I was reading an article about a greater need for genetic testing for downs etc so parents can make a decision whether to abort and it was from a left wing news site getting upset about a pun on genes.

Anyone using the word 'woke' in any capacity now isn't worth having a serious conversation with, it's pathetic. I'm not sure if it's as bad as what goes on in purple town but it's right up there in the lunacy league.

On topic. Sweeney is the 'it' girl right now, like thousands before her so it's not a surprise she has been plastered all over the place in the ad world right now. Shes hot, she knows it and is milking it for all it's worth; good on her.

I'm convinced all of the people screaming "Nazi propaganda" and writing articles on "whiteness" are mid/late-90's babies who aren't terribly far removed from graduating college with their "journalism" degree and looking to make a name for themselves.

Because holy shit these people would NOT have survived the advertising age of the mid-70's through end-90s where pretty much every clothier, fragrance manufacturer, and big mall store brand (GAP, Old Navy), had ads just like these.

They are just beating the (now broken) woke drum. A few years back the vocal minority could win on something like this, but these days AE needs MONEY (aka sales) because they can't virtue signal to get ESG loans from Blackrock.

 
These people that are so quick to call this propaganda are really grasping for straws. Making up a underlying narrative for the attention driven society.

Here is the Brooke Shields ad from 1980 they basically "paid homage" too with this American Eagle Ad,

she was 15 in this ad

I think it would be a short battle. Left is anti 2nd amendment while right is pro second amendment. ;)

My brother moved to Idaho and loves it. My wife, who is SUPER tolerant of nonsense is really getting tired of the Washington state BS. I just sit there thinking "Good....feel the hate flow through you so our move to Wyoming can be complete."
 
Yeah these are the kinds of comments why politics can't be talked about to begin with
I'm not inciting violence or anything. This is a generality. I know some on the left like guns and some on the right do not. My mom is fairly right and hates guns.
 
The obnoxious people have truly lost the plot. It's just a fucking pun. Ruined my day reading the tail end of that purple site thread. "There's no reason to be bringing up genetics to sell clothes"…. It's fucking PUN, an intentional god damn pun!

Can't have an insanely hot girl doing ads anymore without it becoming a problem.

Even if this is a nazi dog whistle, is an ad for jeans with Sydney Sweeney really worth getting their tits up in a knot? I guarantee you American Eagle is loving all the attention they're getting.

Patting themselves on the back like "genetics could be a dog whistle" requires some high level media literacy.

Of course it could, it also is just a pun.

I get pissed because I'm left/progressive (in USA terms at least) and these people are just ruining everything.
 
This is my favorite thread on this videogame forum.

So please, less words and more tetas. :lollipop_crying:
