Fool me once: Corporate America is not falling for the left’s outrage over Sydney Sweeney’s ‘good jeans’ ad
New York Post ^ | August 2 2025 | Charles Gasparino

The left is trying its best to stir up a furor over the recent Sydney Sweeney jeans (or is it genes) TV commercial to ignite a backlash similar to the Dylan Mulvaney-Bud Light debacle.

Sorry progressives, it ain’t happening.

Yes, there’s lots of chirping from lefty columnists, purple-haired TikTok influencers, late-night hosts who are still employed, and assorted wokesters after American Eagle had the audacity to feature the attractive blond, blue-eyed actress expressing her sartorial flair in a pair of tight-fitting blue jeans.
~~snip~~
Corporate America listened to these kooks for many reasons, including their own progressive management leanings, with disastrous results. They learned the hard way that most Americans of all races hate being proselytized with political dogma, particularly of the left-wing variety that pushes the limits of identity and gender politics beyond cultural norms.

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.

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.

Just the opposite.

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

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

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

“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 .

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!

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.
