Silence after Levi's drops American Eagle inspired ad

Silence after Levi's drops American Eagle inspired ad

Sky News AUa day ago
Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power has slammed lefty hypocrisy over the difference in reactions to Sydney Sweeney in comparison to Beyonce's jean ads.
'It is absolutely outrageous. When Sydney Sweeney took part in that American Eagle campaign, the left had a meltdown, there were women crying into their mobile phones, accusing her of Nazi propaganda,' Ms Power said.
'Now we see this ad, the Beyonce ad, and there's silence, there's no problem with it, just praise for it.
'So many people were just so happy to see that ad be so successful because it really declares that the end of woke culture, woke is dead.'

Good jeans? Why J.D. Vance is right about Sydney Sweeney

Sydney Sweeney probably lost me when she sold soap supposedly containing some of her own bathwater. We'd barely recovered from the bathtub scene in Saltburn when she released a limited edition soap called 'Sydney's Bathwater Bliss', at a bargain $12. This bliss flew into mailbags, with its 'morning wood' scent of fir, moss, pine and a 'touch' of her bathwater. Mmmmm, germy bathwater. Of course, it sold out. The woman who has the curvature of a 1950s pinup, and the wide-eyed stare of an ingénue, does not struggle to garner attention. And now she has taken part in a deliberately provocative ad for jeans that has inflamed the left, who see it as blatantly racist – or at the least very, very white – and thereby delighted the right. A cute blonde, a sprinkle of race baiting and – bam! – the perfect ad has been created. And by perfect, I mean the kind that briefly galvanises outrage and jacks up share prices. I know, it's confusing. What happened is that Sweeney featured in an ad for American Eagle jeans where she played on the idea of good genes. As the tagline says, 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans', nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Genes too, if you like white, conventionally attractive people. I'd struggle to think of a more conventionally, stereotypically attractive white woman; actually, she's almost cartoonishly hot. As she pulls up her blue jeans on this ad, Sweeney says: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour.' She turns to the camera: 'My jeans are blue'. Which leads us to the rather obvious conclusion that 'great genes' means white, blue-eyed and kinda Aryan. At a time when the current president has said there were 'a lot of bad genes' in the United States, while discussing murders allegedly committed by illegal immigrants. This did not go down well. A Tiktok by @thealtperspective, viewed 1.8 million times, summed up the reaction: 'literally an ad FULL of racist and fascist dog whistles ... It's literally being retweeted with 'we're so back' by RACISTS.'
