Fox & Friends star shares VERY outspoken views about 'stocky' people in adverts as Sydney Sweeney drama rages on
Fox & Friends star Lawrence Jones said on air that he likes finds 'thick' people attractive - but that he can see why advertisers have moved on from using 'stocky' models while discussing Sydney Sweeney's controversial new American Eagle ad. 'This is about marketing 10. Good-looking people sell products very well,' Jones began Thursday, dismissing outrage stemming over a play on words seen in the series of advertisements that tout the actress's good 'jeans', a play on the word 'genes.' 'It's just the reality of it', Jones, 32, argued, after several slammed the wordplay as racist and a veiled reference to eugenics. 'You gotta know who you are marketing to,' Jones said, appearing to ignore those people. He then told cohosts Brian Kilmeade and Ainsley Earhardt 'It's about money,' before lamenting how 'over the past four or five years, they tried to put different people on that they feel like-,' 'Stocky people, shapeless,' Kilmeade interrupted. Jones responded with an admission regarding his preferred type of women. 'It's true, it's true. And it's no offense to stocky people, I love thick women, too,' he said with a laugh. 'Thick' - sometimes spelt as 'thicc' - is a term used to describe an attractive plus size person. The remark left Kilmeade visibly tickled. 'Did you say 'I love thick women?'' he asked Jones with a smile. 'I do, I do. I love women all shapes and sizes,' Jones said. 'But sometimes they don't sell the product,' the host continued. 'And it's all about who sells the product and who men envision and who women envision themselves to be.' Kilmeade proceeded to wonder aloud the the type of product that might call for 'a thick woman.' Earhardt, seemingly enjoying the back-and-forth, joked: 'A milkshake?' One ad in the ongoing American Eagle campaign had showed Sweeney, 27, viewing a poster of herself that says she has 'great genes', prior to the word 'genes' being replaced with 'jeans' toward the end of the video. A furious woke mob has condemned the advert, suggesting the use of a white, blonde, blue-eyed superstar and use of the word 'genes' is a tacit call for eugenics - selective breeding. Defenders of the campaign have criticized the mostly progressive pushback as dishonest, and a bad-faith take toward something meant to be playful. 'You gotta know who you are marketing to,' Jones said, appearing to ignore those people. He then shared his penchant for 'stocky' women, saying I love thick women, too,' Neither American nor Sweeney have apologized for the series of ads, which faced fierce scrutiny on social media. Some accused the Euphoria and White Lotus star of participating in an ad that promoted racism, due to her being white and having fair features like blue eyes. The good genes line, however, appears to refer to Sweeney's looks, which, as Jones indicated, can be seen as a selling point.

Conservative US news host advocates for hitting children more
Fox & Friends hosts discussed the trend of "gentle parenting" after showing several TikTok clips demonstrating the style. Host Lawrence Jones controversially suggested that parents should "spank your kid's a**" as a method of discipline. Co-host Ainsley Earhardt cautioned that physical discipline could lead to legal repercussions for parents in cities like New York. Dr Leonard Sachs, a family physician and author, argued that parents need to be in charge for children's health and happiness, rather than letting children make decisions. The segment concluded by highlighting "FAFO" (eff around and find out) as a new parenting trend emerging as an alternative to gentle parenting.

Fox & Friends host calls for more Americans to spank their kids as panel talks gentle parenting tips
Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones called on parents to 'spank your kid's a**' instead of being letting children go 'crazy' during a news segment on gentle parenting. On Wednesday, hosts Jones, Brian Kilmeade and Ainsley Earhardt played several TikTok clips showing parents who follow 'gentle parenting,' a trendy parenting style that focuses on respect, empathy, boundaries and understanding. One of the videos showed a mother calmly asking, 'Please don't hit me,' and 'gentle,' as her small child repeatedly smacked her in the face, while another showed an upset child being pulled into a hug by their mother. 'Am I allowed to comment on that?' Jones asks. 'Some of you need to spank your kid's a**. It's a problem.' 'Mama Jones didn't play it. My father didn't play it. And I just see all these kids going crazy in the grocery store, on the plane. And if the parents just would put them over their leg and just [spank], it would be over,' Jones said, smacking his hands together to mimic spanking a child. Earhardt was quick to respond: 'The problem is, it will be over for you as a parent if you do that in New York City. They would take our children.' 'You would have to do it in your house,' she added. Fox then cut to an interview with Dr. Leonard Sachs, a family physician, psychologist and author of The Collapse of Parenting. 'I think most gurus of gentle parenting would agree that it means that good parenting means letting kids decide. Well, that's a really bad idea, because parenting works when parents are in charge. And if you let kids decide, a lot of bad things happen,' Sachs said. Sachs used dinner time as an example, saying if parents were to let kids decide, most would choose 'pizza, french fries and ice cream.' 'And you're going to end up with a lot of fat kids,' Sachs said. 'In order for kids to be healthy and happy, parents need to be in charge.' Fox & Friends hosts then pointed out that there is a new parenting trend, 'FAFO' or 'eff around and find out,' there to replace gentle parenting. 'I love it,' Jones said. 'I'm gonna get a T-shirt that says that.' Solve the daily Crossword
