Some Folks Are Really Upset About The Sydney Sweeney Ads. Update: AE Responds

frick the media.

If one side is saying "white girls with big boobs are bad," I know that is not the side for me.

Good god what a ridiculous leap by idiots looking for 15 minutes

Genes sounds like jeans

Sydney Sweeney is hot

That's it. It's not that deep.

Never once during the add did I think “ frick yeah Nazis !”

We are BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

They are just mad it's not some 300 lb fat frick in commercials.



Good Jeans and Genes




Democrats all have bad Genes

Only here for tits

Unbridled?

It is so rare to have hot blonde in an ad that it is newsworthy. Not sure it is unbridled.

Best part is those jealous freaks are skyrocketing public recognition of the AE brand, and Sydney.

Can't buy that kind of free publicity!

In the videos, Sweeney exudes a sort of vintage sexiness that caters to the male gaze. She embodies the near mythological girl-next-door beautiful but low-maintenance sexy femininity that dominated media in the 1990s and the early 2000s. Together, the campaign feels regressive and not retro, offensive and not cheeky.

I'm not going to lie, that's amazing.

Somehow it gets better

In May, she faced viral controversy for selling Dr. Squatch soap that was advertised as containing some of her dirty bathwater. The advertisements, predictably, included Sweeney ostensibly naked in a bathtub. Last month, after she attended Jeff and Lauren Bezos’ gauche wedding in Italy, news spread that Sweeney was reportedly launching a lingerie brand with financial backing from the Bezoses. The internet was outraged, condemning Sweeney for aligning herself with American oligarchs like Bezos for a paycheck.

Sweeney, best known for playing a gratuitously topless Cassie on HBO’s “Euphoria,” has been sexualized for most of her career, including in many of her disparate business ventures and advertising campaigns, something she has also addressed. In an interview with The Independent, for example, she spoke to the double standard she faces: “When a guy has a sex scene or shows his body, he still wins awards and gets praise. But the moment a girl does it, it’s completely different.”

I cannot blame Sweeney for financially benefiting from a system that is going to exploit her either way. Still, her willingness to participate in such an obviously damaging — and, depending on who you ask, even dangerous — advertising campaign as the latest American Eagle collection is disappointing.
