American Eagle’s bold response earns them a million customers amidst controversy.
In response to the woke backlash against their “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans” ad, American Eagle released an official statement on Instagram:
« ‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her Jeans. Her Story. We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone. »
Whoever wrote and published that response deserves a raise.
And a promotion.
And a golden parachute.
Because they just earned American Eagle a million customers.
Why? Because everybody is sick of woke. Everyone is sick of being told that standards of beauty are tools of oppression. And everyone is sick of letting a small but shrieking cadre of self-loathing nihilists dictate to the rest of us what our opinions should be.
Much has been said about the irrational criticism being leveled at Sydney Sweeney as primarily coming from people who are physically ugly. This is inaccurate. The criticism has been coming from people who are envious. Forget the purple hair, the nose ring, the horn-rimmed glasses. Their envy is what makes them ugly. And they hide their envy behind a laughably transparent mask of righteousness. It’s as reprehensible as it is pathetic.
Just say it. Say, “I wish I looked like Sydney Sweeney.”
It would be nice if I looked like Gavin Casalegno.
