I have no real desire to platform Sydney Sweeney or American Eagle's slightly raunchy ad campaign. The Bee said it well:
That said, the Left just spent a solid week telling us that a generic jeans ad was NAZI PROPAGANDA. Look at a few of the headlines from major publications:

It's an ad about jeans that cleverly uses the homophone "genes" to connect the idea that attractive people wear their clothes.
There should be no controversy!
No one would have really cared about the ad campaign if the libs hadn't said a clothing commercial represented an existential threat to civil liberty and the survival of America itself.
But now, it's become so important that journalists asked the president of the United States about it on the tarmac with Marine One in the background.
Leftists are so thoroughly uncool now that they don't understand the Barbra Streisand Effect. The more you tell people Sydney Sweeney is undesirable, the more they will desire her.
The Left desperately wants to keep people, but especially young men, from falling heads-over-heels for blondes with blue eyes and great "jeans." They think white people being portrayed as the standard of beauty is problematic to their ongoing crusade to "do the work" and "decolonize."
But all their screeching about Nazism has done is show tens of millions of men - most of them who had no idea who Sweeney was - that she's a Republican who loves guns:
And has a TikTok channel where she works on classic cars:
Talk about pushing young men in a certain direction! 😂
Trump, who always has a good pulse on what's going viral, doubled down on his tarmac statement on Monday morning:
The sitting president talking about the "controversy" of a Republican actress who likes jeans, Ford Mustangs, and guns.
What a time to be alive!
Those are resume enhancers if you ask me!
Ok, she’s no Jacqueline Bisset in her prime, but her face is fine.
I could probably overlook it, but I need a really pretty face.
I score mine @ Lidl.
The funny part is that it was not so long ago that they were trying to cast Tim Walz the exact same way (guns/classic cars) as your dream girl. He was just so much more effeminate about it.
The Democrats are certainly smarter than the Republicans. They know it takes a woman like Olivia Julianna to attract men. Except she was too light skinned. They needed someone with darker skin.
Levi's was not responding to the American Eagle ad. Those Levi's ads were released before the American Eagle ad.
And AE wasn't responding to the Levi's ad, either. The AE ad with Sweeney is just a throwback to the old Brooke Shields ads for Calvin Klein, like this one where Brooke talks about "genes."
