I think that's the thing is it's a new day.

They got all this criticism.

The mainstream media was writing headlines like Nazi eugenics campaign and they just did it more.

That was the best part is they didn't apologize.

No one bent a knee.

Sidney Sweeney didn't bend a knee.

The president of American Eagle didn't.

They just made bigger billboards.

I think it's awesome.

To just say what you think and also to say this totally normal thing.

I mean, there is nothing that special about the ad.

It's the context they launched it in.

It's a hot girl in jeans.

That was every single ad in the 80s and 90s for jeans.

I've made hundreds of them when I was at Levi's in the 90s and early 2000s.

It's pretty stock and trade.

But in the world today, when Calvin Klein runs ads with non-binary, hairy-chested men...

overweight and that that's what's pushed on us this feels like a revelation it feels like an act of rebellion and it was in some sense and people loved it yeah shout out to American Eagle man who would have thought who would have thought they would be the ones to stand up you know I think though they're based in Pittsburgh hmm is that pretty liberal or no I think it's a little bit insulated from you know Madison Avenue okay they probably talk to regular people sometimes

Yeah.

Yeah.
