From NY Post: Leftist TikTok is in full pitchfork-and-torch mode after a new ad for American Eagle jeans featuring actress Sydney Sweeney used a play on words, with some claiming it’s full-on Nazi propaganda.
The ad features Sweeney, 27, clad in a pair of the brand’s jeans and a denim jacket, talking about her jeans/genes.
“Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,” she intones in a spot.
“My jeans are blue,” she says as she flashes her blue eyes.
A longer version of the ad uses the same pun as a tagline.
“I’m not here to tell you to buy American Eagle jeans. And I definitely won’t say they’re the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever worn, or that they make your butt look amazing. Why would I need to do that? But if you said that you want to buy the jeans, I’m not gonna stop you. But so we’re clear, this is not me telling you to buy American Eagle jeans.”
The caption “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans” appears on the screen as a male voiceover says the words.
A woke social media crowd took offense to the homophone of “jeans” and “genes.” saying it appears to be a nod to eugenics or even “Nazi propaganda.”
