00:00I'm not here to tell you to buy American Eagle jeans.

00:03And I definitely won't say that they're the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn.

00:08Or that they make your butt look amazing.

00:13Why would I need to do that?

00:16But if you said that you want to buy the jeans, I'm not gonna stop you.

00:21But just so we're clear, this is not me telling you to buy American Eagle jeans.

00:25Sidney Sweeney has very keen.

00:28You see what I did there, right?

00:30Jeans are passed down from parents to offspring.

00:33Often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color.

00:40My jeans are blue.

00:42Sidney Sweeney has great jeans.

00:45This is gonna blow your mind.

00:46American Eagle just lit a firestorm.

00:48And Sidney Sweeney's caught in the middle.

00:50American Eagle just dropped an ad starring Sidney Sweeney.

00:53And it's got everybody talking.

00:55Why?

00:56Because she says,

00:57Jeans are passed down.

00:58And then, my jeans are blue.

01:00Sounds cheeky, right?

01:01Well, the internet exploded.

01:03People say the ad is racist.

01:05Flirting with eugenics.

01:07A nasty, outdated idea about improving people.

01:09Others call it just another sexualized stunt, especially since the camera lingers on Sweeney.

01:14The backlash?

01:15Instant.

01:16Even politicians weighed in.

01:18Trump gave a thumbs up.

01:19Progressives called it toxic.

01:21American Eagle tried to fix it.

01:22Said it's all about the jeans, not the jeans.

01:24But the damage?

01:25Already done.

01:26Here's the kicker.

01:27Their stock price actually went up.

01:29Outrage sells.

01:30So, what do you think?

01:31Did American Eagle cross the line or is this just clever marketing?
