No, Sydney Sweeney is not Adolf Hitler

Have you heard of this year’s meaningless summer controversy?

It concerns commercials by American Eagle for its pretty ordinary jeans line.

It stars Sydney Sweeney, whose existence was pretty much a mystery to me. When she was the guest host of "Saturday Night Live” last year, when she was announced, I went “Who?” The only Sydney I knew was my late father.

OK, she’s been nominated for an Emmy and worked in some series I never heard of, but, nevertheless, she is popular with Gen Z. Despite my lack of knowledge, I am almost certain she is not a Nazi. I’ll explain in a minute.

The commercials for American Eagle turn on the double entendre of the words “good jeans,” which the company is selling, and “good genes,” which the ads say she has. By that the commercials mean her good looks — blue eyes, (dark) blonde hair, high cheekbones,  and cleavage.

For the woke, there are two burning issues, it seems. A double focus. 

One is race.

The other is physical appearance, or what constitutes beauty.

Shortly after the commercials began, the Looney Left Keyboard Social Justice Warriors came pouring out of the hellish fringes of the internet.  Like this jackass:

Every alert for any offense, even when it doesn’t exist, they discovered that Sweeney was offering up “Nazi propaganda.” Also “white nationalism,” and she knew it, says zellie, who’d have trouble finding his ass using both hands.

Judge the Nazi content for yourself by viewing the commercial. 

Did it have you goose stepping? Were you hungry to take over Austria?

Before long, the internet presented an AI parody, that says it better than I can. This is very well done. 

I hope you enjoyed that. 

In addition to the commercial supposedly sig heiling fascism, (the CEO of American Eagle is Jewish), there was more magpie chatter about white supremacy, the patriarchy, capitalism, the oligarchy — the numbing mumbo jumbo lexicon of the bed-wetting Far Left. To its credit, American Eagle brushed off the speaking in tongues of the Far Left.

If we ever needed an example of seeing things through your own lens, this is it.

To the Loons, Sydney Sweeney is Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of propaganda.

Or maybe just a sexist tool of her corporate overlords, who revived a drooling definition of beauty we thought we had conquered, say the woke critics, probably conjuring up the good old days of a 81-year-old women in Sports Illustrated Swimwear, and obese Victoria’s Secret models.

I’m not being ageist, or body shaming. I’m old and overweight and know enough to decline a pictorial in Playgirl, assuming it still exists. Pick your shots.

You know, I could go on and on about how insanely stupid this is, but I’ll point to a Levi’s commercial in which Beyonce strips down to her Spanks in a laundromat. Please enjoy it here. 

Anyone hear any complaints about that? No racial undertones detected? No glorification of Blackness? Nothing from the woke? I wonder why. (Not really. I know why, and probably so do you.)

Companies know that sex sells, regardless of color, regardless of gender. Most people like looking at beauty, whether in art, architecture, nature, or people.

Sex in advertising is as American as Southern fried chicken. 

Beautiful real women, like Sweeney and Beyonce, move merch.

Fake women, like Dylan Mulvaney, destroy merch.  The joke’s on woke.
