This is the kind of old school play-on-words – “genes/jeans” – commercial that was very popular back when I was in the business. (Remember the Brooke Shields ad for Calvin Klein jeans?) Yet obviously today, it is considered grossly insulting (to fat Black women and Muslims, I guess), politically incorrect, racist, and Nazi-like by the far-left loons who are having a major meltdown over it.
Well I say good for American Eagle for putting out an attention-getting ad that a will sell a lot of jeans for them. Twenty-four hours after its launch, American Eagle stock price reportedly has surged by 10%.
For what it’s worth…
I am a man who can appreciate a woman with a bit of “meat” on her carcass… even if there is a bit too much, as long as it’s in relatively correct proportion… I am also a shamefully over weight slug… LOL
Sweeney is no doubt one very attractive gal, in every aspect… However IMNSHO, her butt doesn’t quite “fill out” the jeans as well as they should be… yes… tight is better… on the bright side, the fit does allow one’s roving hand the room to get to the places that matter… {I call it “The Event Horizon”} LOL
It does concern me quite a bit, just how totally the left seems to be swirling more quickly each passing day down the hideous abyss of their mental illness!!
What will we do when they hit a critical mass of lunatics???? FUCK!!
Actually I agree. My jeans are a lot tighter than those she is wearing. And I look hot in them!
While I consider this story a big nothing burger, here’s a funny take on it:
https://m3.gab.com/media_attachments/a3/3c/b3/a33cb366f75dbc099e9def1d5971f5e0.jpeg?width=568
I used to buy a lot of clothing from the Lands End store. But after they started featuring obese models in their catalogs, I never bought another thing from them again. Even though I’m not the size of a model (size 0), but a size 4 or 6, when I look at clothing on a model, I imagine I might look good in it too. But when I saw the clothing on fat models, I had no desire to look like them, so wouldn’t consider buying the clothes. I have noticed lately that their catalog models have much few fat models in them than 2 years ago.
“As a former Advertising Writer/Creative Director in NYC…”
Now I know who to blame every time a hot, taudry, suspenseful or cliff hanging nail biting moment on television cuts to a commercial break at exactly the wrong time.
You nasty witch. 😀😀😀
Yeah but the difference is my commercials were often fun to watch, injecting humor and hot women whenever possible. I even used some small farm animals in a copier commercial. Jack Klugman (The Odd Couple tv show) owned a race horse and loved horses so I wrote a Canon copier commercial for him with a live horse in it that he kissed at the end.
I think I vaguely remember that commercial. Great job Bonnie, especially w/Nintendo and Mario, I hope Nintendo thanked you w/a large bonus for that.
No, no bonus. It was just part of my job as a staff copywriter back then. Besides, Mario at that time was just a character in an arcade game. It took years for it to grow into the empire it evolved into.
Interesting women’s sizes. My wife isn’t tiny, but far away from being large. She had a few outfits that she really liked and decided to buy more of the same two years after she purchased the first batch. Exact same clothes and the same manufacturer. The later batches were like tents, coming in FAR larger than what she had purchased a few years prior.
Alley-hoo-ackburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Yes, manufacturers often do that to encourage larger women to buy their clothes so they can tell their friends that they wear a smaller size even though they are the same weight as before
So inflation even affects women’s clothing sizes.
Now, THAT’S FUNNY!
Alley-hoo-ackburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
But no outrage at the felonious mob assault by black thugs on elderly whites in Cincinatti.
Those psychopaths have been arrested. When I watched the video of the assault I did notice other black people going to the assistance of the white victims.
Not so much. Some of them lifted the man up, only to hold him for the pack of negroes to reinitiate their attack.
The female that would always run up to that man and kick him … when she “lost her weave” didn’t even run after it for retrieval (which is the normal response), she continued kicking.
Alley-hoo-ackburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Being elderly, I can assure you that those victims were not “elderly”, unless you consider latter forties and early fifties “elderly”. If so, they should have planted me a very long time ago.
Alley-hoo-ackburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The hypocrisy of this is that they are trying to connect it to Nazism through eugenics.
Where are they protesting Planned Parenthood that was founded by a eugenicist?
Wtf
Even as a gay man I can see this woman is absolutely gorgeous with an amazing body, something that takes hard work to maintain and should be celebrated. She is the perfect spokeswomen for this ad.
Next I hope to see a similar ad with a hot guy. I can’t stand the skinny jeans look that has taken the country by storm, the guys that wear them are feminized. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I’m very content in my 501s.
I’m certainly going to buy a pair of these jeans because of this ad. The only commercials I like these days are the Subaru ads with the dogs. I used to use animals in some of the Ads I created for office equiment and they were always well received.
Animals are always a win in advertising!! You have to let us all know when you get your jeans how they look on you and how you like them.
If they come in mens, I’ll buy a pair just to piss off the left more by supporting a company they’re disgruntled with lol
Will do!
Sydney Sweeney is a 😍 beautiful 😍 White ✝️ Christian ✝️ lady, as are ALL White Christian women!
think those jeans make her look hot. the only women complaining are butt ugly razorbacks.
For sure!
In Canada where can I buy a pair?
Patronize American Eagle. Buy their jeans. And that goes for you too Bonnie
Yes, I will try them.
When this controversy first arose, I asked m 72 year old japaner wife if she found the advertisement offensive. She simply responed that the world if full of idiots.
I asked my half-breed children, all married to blonde haired blue eyed spouse, actually producing blue-eyed offspring. Their answer was, “Dad, you should text before calling.”
My wife used to only use “baka”, when describing me. Now, she sees how foolish the rest of the world is and uses it to describe Democrat Party members.
Alley-hoo-ackburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
“Bakayaro!” Haven’t heard that a word in a long time.
日本語が話せますか？(Nihongo ga hanashimasu ka?)
Too polite for me, try “nihongo ga wakarimasen”
When I accepted an assignment, working with Shimizu construction, my wife believed that I would finally be forced to learn japaner talk. Shimizu assigned a full-time translator to me. She lost again.
Alley-hoo-ackburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Well Ok, “sho ga nai,” I guess. 🥴
Hai, shikata ga nai
Alley-hoo-ackburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
You DO speak it after all.
I was able to order State Express 555s, Kirin (not the special, it uses American hops), somewhat read street signs and that’s about all. Moreover, that’s been decades ….
Alley-hoo-ackburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
If there is a way to manufacture a bogus controversy, the libtards will manage to do so. They want to bring every trivial thing to the attention of everybody, and the MSM always obliges.
The correct response, if you do not like the advertisement, is to not buy the product! But, the libtard loons are keeping the advertisement in play for far longer than its creators could have dreamt. As such, their outrage is actually helping to sell the jeans and the pretty model in the ad.
Thanks for saving me much typing! I totally concur. What’s offensive, is seeing a grown man whose mental illness has him believing he is a girl, and some moron using his image, dressed in women’ clothes, assclown personified, telling me I should be enjoying the morons’ beer!
Couldn’t agree more. I think if I were still working in advertising today, I’d probably be out of a job.
Or be promoted to CEO……nobody works harder than you, and you do a marvelous job, getting all this material together daily, and posting it. Give yourself two attaboy pats on the back….you’ve earned them.
I loved being in advertising. I did the whole Jack Klugman campaign for Canon Copiers and created Mario for the Nintendo games.
Wow. Mario was one of the big hits for Nintendo, maybe even their biggest of all time.
I was working for a Japanese ad agency at the time when the Nintendo arcade game Donkey Kong was first being introduced to America. They gave the project to my group to create print and TV ads for it. I thought the plumber with the mustache looked Italian so I named him Mario followed by his brother Luigi and the Mario brothers were born. That’s how the arcade games became an industry and expanded into handheld games.
Amazing. Mario is featured in all kinds of games that have nothing to do w/Donkey Kong now.
Do you ever miss JP?
There was a funny Japanese expat living in Canada that Achmed Muhandjob and I knew from pamelagellers site B4 we were banned. She was really popular over there, may she RIP.
Living in Japan was the best 2 years of my life. While at Waseda University, I lived with a Japanese family who were wonderful.
The I worked over there for a year and became fairly fluent in the language. When I returned to the US, I was hired by 2 different Japanese ad agencies with branches in NYC, where I started I writing pint ads and commercials, and that became my career thereafter.
And yes, I do miss Japan. I’ve been back once since I lived over there, and would still love to go there again. My Japanese is a bit rusty, but the more I hear it, the more it comes back to me.
If things get bad in the USA would you and your husband rather make aliyah or move to JP?
I’m sure Israel could use more people like you but then again so could JP!
Because I am Jewish, it would be easy to move to Israel. I don’t know how Japan is now, but when I was there, it was very difficult to get a long time visa. Even though I had a work visa, I had to show up at the immigration office every few months to renew it and getting a permanent visa was very difficult, even for gaijin who were married to A Japanese citizen. But that was a long time ago so maybe things have changed?
Fascinating. When I worked/consulted for Shimizu, I was in the japans for approximately two years. Not once did I have to report to any immigration office. Shimizu must have taken care of everything.
Alley-hoo-ackburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
This was back in the late 70’s
One quick addition, whenever I heard the term “gaijin”, I always replied with “shimajin” (tiny little island people).
Gotta love the japaners.
Alley-hoo-ackburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Wish I knew that word back then. When I was a student there, some of my nisei friends there spoke a lot less Japanese than I did, so often in stores I would translate for them which blew the minds of the Japanese clerks. Even though I was the one speaking to them, they responded only to the nisei friends, not the gaijin who was speaking their language. We thought that was so funny. 🤣
