Was Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad really racist?
If eras define indulgences, indifferences, and points of agitation, we must ask ourselves: are we in the decade of the extra sensitive? The most recent case of 'abused wokeness' — a term coined some time in the 1930s to refer to the awareness of biases — is the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad. It's got trolls baying for her career on the cancel list, a Trumpian salute, and accusations flying for owning a 'Nazi dog', because her fur child, 'Sully Bear', is apparently a 'very white person's dog' (what does this even mean?). The first set of jaws dropped when the ad did — on July 23. And slowly, there was a susurration in media (both traditional and social) aghast at her (and the brand) using the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans'. The ad was, at best, a poor play on words and failed attempt at humour, referring to her blue-eyed-blonde-haired 'classic American' look (think Sandy from Grease), and at worst, the reinforcement of archaic Western beauty standards. Now, don't get me wrong, the fact that we've evolved to a point where we look critically at any piece of 'art' – a term that advertisements lay a loose claim on – is wonderful. It stops things from getting out of hand —remember the Gucci 'blackface' sweater, the one where a black jumper would cover half the face and had a red cutout around the mouth? It could not weather the storm that came after its debut in the Fall Winter 2018 line. Or, the provocative work of the late Italian photographer and art director Oliviero Toscani for Benetton, who found himself out of a job for the 'Looking Death in the Face' campaign? Or J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books, who often finds herself at odds with her readers? But bear in mind that we are, at present, trolling someone for having blue eyes and blonde hair, and for looking like herself. Being a slim, good-looking woman, who fits the idea of conventional beauty in a woke world? We are not having it. And while we could bash Sweeney, whose projects include The White Lotus and Euphoria, for ignoring the moral police of social media and the lash of publicity that comes from an 'unwoke ad', she is displaying grace (or just following the notes of a good PR agent) with her path of silence. Instead of arguing her cause or making excuses for her 'day job', she is staying quiet and going about her daily life with Scully Bear, even as she gets heckled during movie premieres. It's like former First Lady Michelle Obama once said: 'When they go low, we go high.' In Sweeney's case, that sounds like laughter all the way to the bank – her career is seeing an uptick, thanks to all the buzz. We live in an era used to wokeness. This hyper awareness of what is wrong, however, leaves little room for complexity. It's a forced choice, where we are propagating a culture that is 'correct'. So correct, in fact, that it does not take into account that world can be complicated and messy. We may have ditched the rose-tinted glasses, but does that really call for a constantly riled-up inner critic? Consider context: Sweeney participated in the making of an ad. Some didn't like it. Some did. That should have been the end of the story. By giving credence to the backlash, by over-analysing what it could mean, not only do we supply extra eyeballs (and publicity) to the ad, but also leave little room for artistic negotiation. And that is never a good idea!

Is BTS working on Michael Jackson tribute album? Agency issues statement
A BTS tribute to Michael Jackson, as claimed by a news report, is not happening. BigHit Music has clarified that the K-pop superstars are not involved in any project dedicated to the King of Pop. Fans of the South Korean boy group were beginning to get excited, making edits of their dance performances to Jackson's songs, after The Irish Sun reported that BTS was at Grouse Lodge in Ireland and recorded one of Jackson's unreleased tracks. The report claimed that the tribute album would be called 'Jackson's next 'Thriller'', to released alongside a documentary about the pop icon and his family's summer in a cow shed in County Westmeath, Ireland. Jackson, who passed away in June 2009, had stayed in Grouse Lodge, an Irish recording studio, in 2006 while working on an unreleased album. The studio's owner Paddy Dunning told The Irish Sun that BTS had visited the studio and re-recorded one of Jackson's unreleased tracks. However, BTS' agency shut down the reports saying the members have never visited the studio, nor are they participating in an upcoming Michael Jackson tribute album. 'BTS has neither visited Grouse Lodge Studio in Ireland nor recorded any music there. Reports claiming the group participated in a Michael Jackson tribute album are also untrue,' BigHit Music said in a statement on X. 'We are continuing to take action to prevent the spread of inaccurate information.' [ê³µì§�] â��ë°©í��ì��ë��ë�¨ì�� ë§�ì�´í�´ ì�ì�¨ í��ì � ì�¨ë²� ì°¸ì�¬â�� ê´�ë ¨ ì��ë�´ (+ENG) — BTS_official (@bts_bighit) August 5, 2025 Dunning had also claimed that 'there's about 10 more' songs on the tribute album, written especially for Jackson by collaborators he worked with in Ireland, including producer Rodney Jerkins and rapper Nephew. The news of the Jackson tribute spread excitement among BTS' fans who have often found influences of the American pop icon's dance style in BTS' choreography. Their hit song 'Dynamite' was considered a tribute to Jackson, especially with a dance break that was inspired by the 'Thriller' hitmaker's style. One fan posted the 'Dynamite' dance break synced to Jackson's 'Smooth Criminal'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by RM (@joonrkive_) All seven BTS members have now completed South Korea's mandatory military service. While some members, like Jin and J-hope, have been busy with their solo projects, the members are expected to put out a group album in 2026 and a world tour soon after.
