BERLIN — Historians have uncovered a blue jeans ad featuring Adolf Hitler from 1942. "Hitler has good jeans," declared the newly-unearthed advertisement, a clarion call for the violent establishment of a dominant Aryan race. "This blue jeans ad was truly the moment when Hitler's ambitions became clear," said historian Steve Marks. "The jeans, the sexy pose, the open call for eugenics to destroy deplorables... this photograph truly encapsulates the very heart of Naziism. Horrifying." While scholars have long speculated that Hitler must have modeled blue jeans as part of his fascist rule, the shocking ad has roiled historians. "We always...

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...

President Donald Trump was asked to weigh in on the Sydney Sweeney "great jeans" American Eagle ad controversy. He delivered a reply that demonstrated humor and exposed it for the silliness it deserves.

The campaign has been linked to Eugenics and Nazi ideology Sydney Sweeney is no stranger to controversial ads. In recent history, she has sold us her bathwater and in 2024, skincare lovers expressed discomfort about her advertisement with a skincare brand, in which the words “bouncy and firm” were plastered across her chest rather than, y’know, near her face.

Case in point: the latest American Eagle ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. According to some perpetually offended leftists, it’s somehow Nazi propaganda. Yes, really. Yeah, I don’t get it either. In one spot, Sweeney says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like...

Advertisements are always mirrors of society, and sometimes what they reflect is ugly and startling. This week, American Eagle, which brought us baby tees and low-rise denim in the aughts, debuted an advertisement campaign starring actor Sydney Sweeney. Sweeney, 27, is featured doing all sorts of Americana things in her American Eagle denim — like leaning over the hood of a white Mustang or lying on the floor holding a long-haired German shepherd puppy. At the end of each video, an off-screen voice speaks over blocky letters declaring that Sweeney — blonde, blue-eyed and white — “has great jeans.” The...
