Fool me once: Corporate America is not falling for the left’s outrage over Sydney Sweeney’s ‘good jeans’ ad

Hopefully the Left’s “Heckler’s Veto” is finally being taken away.

Now that she’s got the celebrity status now, maybe she could boost the exposure of some of the up-and-coming conservative studios — Angel Studios, Sorbo Studios, etc.

Forgot the obligatory Susan Sweeney picture.
Very 70's look

Sydney Sweeny, this is one of her twin Susan :)

Don’t be fooled.
Corporate America cares about two things:

EARNINGS

STOCK PRICE

Everything else is just noise. Similar to saying there is no such thing as “bad publicity”.

American Eagle stock price has risen. Everyone is talking about their product and advertising campaign. Which will result in higher sales and profits.

Sorry progressives, it ain’t happening.

Just the opposite.

[silent majority rising]

The people just don’t give a damn anymore. The left loonie useful idiots can eat themselves.

[blackdog]

There’s no such thing as bad press, when it comes to advertising.

Not relevant to what I posted. How am I “fooled”? [smh]

Keep driving people out of your elitist women’s club and see where that gets you. Communist hate isn’t working.

[Tell It Right]

What's funny to me is that if you look at the statement objectively, it may be that American Eagle was trying to downplay race anyway. And if you put together that it was a white actor doing it, an argument could be made that they were trying to be a little bit woke (downplaying the white race).

Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color . . . my jeans are blue.

To me that sounds almost like a woke white woman saying to ignore her race ... like she's boldly stating that she's ignoring her genes to identify by her blue jeans. But the always triggered left couldn't accept it and attagirl Sweeny and American Eagle. They always have to find an excuse for false outrage. Now American Eagle finds itself making money from patriotic non-woke customers that they may not have been marketing to, while the people they may have been marketed to are being repeatedly told to hate them. LOL

oh yeah

you have to salute those

[joshua c]

and her new movie is called

Americana

[alloysteel]

“You call me ‘egotistical’ - well, I don’t even know what that means. I think it’s got something to do with the way I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans!”

Mac Davis, “Hard to be humble”

[HereInTheHeartland]

“She’s got a girl-next-door look.”

And the fact that is offensive is incredibly weird.
Mass delusion and hysteria over it is just strange .

[chuckee]

Next thing is Wokies will be insisting on leveling the playing field with an ad featuring besties Dylan Mulvaney and Rachel Levine in a pair of American Eagles sitting on a fence post while chilling on a Bud Lite. After all, fake women are a big market here. NOT!

[drwoof]

I think you’re right about that. A few yayhoos will persist, but more and more people seem to be waking up; enough is quite enough, thank you. I pray that our society will heal from the over-exposure to perversion and evil that saturated us for at least two decades.
