Sydney Sweeney American Eagle 'Jeans' commerical
Transcript
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01:07A nasty, outdated idea about improving people.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?
