GAH! Would it kill you to give a brother a little warning?!

[dandiegirl]

I want to buy the jeans but can’t figure out the exact pair she is modeling.

[dandiegirl]

They could do the same ad with a black woman and a hispanic woman, but they need to be skinny and beautiful. What would the jealous lib women say to that!

[silverleaf]

One might think the angry people are feeling defensive about their genes…for some unknown reason

[Texas Eagle]

I am tired of this harmless wordplay. Frankly, I find such homophonia disgusting!

They could counter those adds with ads from SNL decades ago. JEWESS JEANS

“ A former American Eagle social media manager has spoken out critiquing the companies “lack of social awareness” and explaining why Sweeney was the wrong choice as the brand pursued Gen Z

While the ad might be backfiring, American Eagle has seen a jump in profits, $200 million US raising questions about the return of sexism and conservatism in fashion advertising”.

This is why she’s is the ‘former’ social media manager. She is the one that actually lacks social awareness. Profits? Of course, Sweeney is beautiful . It’s a clothing ad, DEI leads to failure. Use common sense.

That last line sounds like a Rodney Dangerfield joke.

Obviously. Leftism is truly a mental disorder.

"a former American Eagle employee "

American Eagle continues to show good judgement.

[Bullish]

Will someone explain to me what’s so great about the black culture, that makes people hate whites so much?

[Jamestown1630]

Considering how long you’ve been here, I doubt you’re the target consumer for this ad.

Maybe ask your grand daughters what they think...

[Paladin2]

How is one supposed to know that her eyes are blue?

[Paladin2]

Though expensive, it’d be cheaper.

[Paladin2]

Did the pitch cross the plate?

Sponsors want all races and cultures to be attracted to their produces.
