All I can say is the left ruins everything. They suck the fun and laughs out of every day life in every way they can. I’m sooooo glad AE didn’t issue some embarrassing, cringe-worthy, sappy apology. If anything was brilliant about this ad it’s the throwing in their faces the very thing you know will ignite the left and then laugh at them in their unhinged hysteria.
The Left’s reverse discrimination outrage is blowing up in their faces. They are waking up and red pilling “normies”. Conservatives are fighting back. The Left is melting down and away, just like the Wicked Witch of the West.
There should be a concerted effort to include as many leftist "triggers" in advertising as possible. Before they can emotionally recover from one new Ad-release, there's another one right behind it to set them off in another meltdown ........ just one after another, until their blinding rage and hysteria causes psychiatrists to get rich.
Me and my cute perky little nose agree. And I didn’t even know who Sydney Sweeney was until all of this hysteria broke out lol. Now? I think I have a secret girl crush on her!
I didn't either! (know who she was!) and just saying... anybody's boobs can look that good if you push them up enough, even my 64 yr old ones, after 2 pregnancies over the age of 40! but maybe I need those lip injections... LOL
I am sure AE is thrilled with the "fake" apology. It's what they would have said if they thought they could get away with it. I'm not even sure it's fake, maybe just posted third or fourth hand.
Honestly I think that this ad camping was pure marketing genius. AE saw where the cultural winds were blowing and went with it, knowing it would be controversial and they’ve gotten a metric crap ton (it’s more than an imperial crap ton) of free advertising. I think they knew this would likely happen and were geniuses for doing so.
completely agree. the ad exec who was like, you know what? EFF THIS, let's just do a garden-variety hot girl in jeans without giving a nod to diversity in any way, was BRILLIANT. Do I think ALL ads from now on should feature only gorgeous blonde white girls, which is apparently what the left thinks will happen now? No. But do I very much welcome this ad and the weirdness that it's ignited? Indeed I do.
I was just so thankful that a normal nice looking white girl was in the ad. They shove color in our face so much it makes me sick. And I'm sick of the gay ads for meds, the fat women running around in their underwear, and all the porn in the ads on TV, I could puck. These people that get paid huge money for these ads evidently have no brain, morals, don't have a clue about the product and prostitute what little talent they have for money.
The metric crap ton is less than the long crap ton. If one is keeping score and trying to be accurate. For whimsy, it is fun to use somewhat outdated measures: crap stone, for example, which is a lot of crap to carry around.
They didn’t ruin the commercial for me 🤣 They don’t ruin anything for me personally, actually. What I said stands true.
They ruin it for others trying to wade through all the fake news and everyday life choices who haven’t seen the truth of things and believe what MSM tells them to.
They ruin common sense, the desire for health and fitness, being successful or funny or pretty, being heterosexual, being faithful to God, being financially wise personally and with public money, and a host of other things that are admirable. They scare people out of enjoying such things for fear of public backlash. And if it’s attached to Trump or MAGA, the white race, heterosexual lifestyles, or Christianity in any way they send out their army to ruin it. And they ruin any message of hope when it conflicts with their globalist master’s agenda.
The Sweeney/AE and Dunkin Donuts ads are just the latest examples. Instead of everyone enjoying the ads collectively, a subset of the public throws dead smelly fish all over everyone trying to ruin the fun. Thankfully enough of us are laughing in spite of it. That doesn’t change the fact that they DO try to ruin everything.
The first time I was introduced to my wife (who is a nurse) at church by my mom, I told her the only "medical" joke I knew: "How do you determine the sex of a chromosome? You pull down it's jeans." She married me anyway - 42 years ago.
Mine was a banjo playing student with a puke green Pinto. I was so afraid of that car. I was sure it would explode on our first date,but,he made me laugh all night…
Although I envied my friends who had the "problem," I never had to worry about a girl going out with me because I had a cool car. Those I had would be cool now, but were jalopies back then.
EDIT/Clarification: I mean the cars were jalopies, not the girls. 😁
Hmm, mine made me sexy dresses and was a crazy NYC artist who possessed equal amounts of drama and sensitivity as me. We had so much in common and in fact, we were even both attracted to men. That was that.
“According to the self-appointed Ministry of Perpetual Grievances” is hysterical! Thanks for my morning chuckles! I thought the ad was great, and very clever. For anyone thinking it has fascist undertones is over the top insane.
Another "GREAT" article Jenna. And as far as supporting you with a subscription it is the best money I have ever spent. Your articles are so looked forward to. I understand the skill and research that you put into these timely articles and I enjoy every one of them. I hope enough people come to the same conclusion as I have. Have a great day.
This pitch for support was definitely your best so far. I upped to paid after the last one, but I would totally do it after this if I wasn’t already a paid sub.
It made me want to pull the trigger on yearly. Not quite in a place to do it yet, but will eventually. You are so right - probably almost everyone here tips the barista, right? You are SO good at what you do and honestly for what you provide the cost of your substack is a steal.
I’m vastly more offended by the left’s assumption that after those rotund girls finish dancing for their ads about diabetes drugs or weight-lots shots, I should desire to be close to them because, after having also danced and spun in the earlier whole-body deodorant spray ads, they can’t possibly be less pleasant to be around than when they were freshly out of the shower 12 hours ago. Never mind that their gross rolls of fat trap dead skin cheese like toe jam in a hiking boot in a rain forest. Nevermind that they can neither see nor reach some areas of their bodies to perform the hygiene the rest of us consider to be the absolute minimum baseline. No, we must glorify them as equally beautiful to the waify models the world has desired for millennia. (Coughs, *bs*, coughs)
Omg I instantly love you!! This is freaking hilarious. And true. I see those diet drug ads with all the fat people dancing around, and I just want to scream: “Just stop eating cheeseburgers from McDonald’s. Maybe you need to dance four times a day get your body moving. It’s not really that hard!!” , And hey, advertising agencies: no one on this planet wants to see fat chicks in underwear ads or swimsuit ads.
I keep asking myself just how stupid these people can be, and they just keep proving to me that I continually set the bar waaaaaay too low. They are pathetic.
Jenna - you are brilliant, you are good enough and gosh darn it, people like you ✨
I also was out of a job (cuz the company was struggling, web designer) last year. This was my first week back in the workforce. Life-long learning and reinvention is what our GenX is all about. I support you fully and will do my part to spread your message and stack. Your work is amazing 🤩 wish I could do more!
“They’re calling” - have you seen all of the tatted, pierced, blue haired butt-ugly “theys “?
As far as I know, this country is still majority white but whether it still is or not & as one myself, I’m sick to death off demands that I (& the rest of us) be ashamed, humiliated & denigrated if we feel pride in OUR cultural heritage. Or that I am supposed to worship POCs, trannies & the morbidly obese as superior & not to be criticized. Talk about superficial & immutable characteristics v. content of character.
Besides, don’t leftist loons LOVE the mother-of-eugenics & fervent Nazi supporter, Margaret Sanger? I’d think they’d be embracing the new “eugenics”….
If they kept their mouths shut no one would have even known about the ad…AE hasn’t been all that cool with the kids for a while. Just watched Billy Joel documentary (recommend!) and his single “Only the Good Die Young” wasn’t doing well until some Catholic school sued him for the lyrics forcing all teenagers all over the world to rush to listen to it because they were told not to. Streisand Effect
“Ad shows an UNBRIDLED cultural shift toward whiteness” 🤣🤣🤣 damn, I’m so entertained by the left’s lunatic hyperbole. No doubt written by a white liberal. Well ok then, let us shift a little white for a hot minute. White has been kicked to the curb and told it’s responsible for all the bad in the world for YEARS! I’m sick of it. Just for that, you lefty-commie bastards, I’m gonna go buy every pair of American Eagle jeans in all the stores in my area! I’ve always liked that store anyway. Dang it, where’s my middle finger emoji???
I LOVED the AE ad. Period. I love they chose Sydney because she is hot AF 🔥 and sex sells jeans. End of story.
Let me flip the script for a sec. Suppose they chose a woman of any colour, obese, fat dripping out of the jeans…ugh! TMI! You get the picture. Is that going to sell jeans!?
Let me put it another way. If you were to hire a
fitness trainer say, which one would you choose. The fit, lean, toned and lithe body or the opposite; no explanation required. I am choosing the body I aspire to have! Duh! 🙄
Am I realistic as to what I can do with elongated, sinewy, thin musculature? No! One can get stronger, more flexible, lower body fat, but you got what you got baby! Work it and get healthy, but you ain’t going to
like your trainer. That’s life and you know it.
Every woman I know wants to look their best. Period. I can’t speak for the men.
The brouhaha-I knew I would run out of eye-rolling emoji space so just know that’s what I think. Im happy paid sub and I appreciate your hard work. Sorry about the job, Jenna. I’m 🙏🏻 you find a better one.

"a metric crap ton (it’s more than an imperial crap ton)"
Nice!
2204.6 crap pounds vs 2000 crap pounds — a 10.2% Increase!
Thank you, I’ve had plenty of caffeine this morning. 😂

Even Better! 2240 crap pounds! A 12% increase of over a short (imperial) crap ton!
Thing is, AE didn't just get a metric crap ton, but several, or many.
And it will keep getting better...
It looked like the Bee to me😅🐝
The apology is hilarious.
If you love a commercial so much that the left can "ruin" it for you, I'd say the issue is yours.
They didn’t ruin the commercial for me 🤣 They don’t ruin anything for me personally, actually. What I said stands true.

I do like that guy in the Dunkin Donuts ad. Oh my… 😍😍😍😅
Why not avoid garbage TV altogether? It's a mind control tool.
I don’t watch tv, so I had no idea who she was until now.
I didn't either (ignorance is such sweet bliss) until this stupid "controversy" started showing up all over the place...
Well said
The first time I was introduced to my wife (who is a nurse) at church by my mom, I told her the only "medical" joke I knew: "How do you determine the sex of a chromosome? You pull down it's jeans." She married me anyway - 42 years ago.
🤣
Damn, Roger. You must be extremely handsome for her to have overlooked that. 😂
Or he's a great kisser...
… which is exactly why I married my husband lol!
🤣
Mine had a cool car.... and is a great kisser, but that car was vroom vroom...
Mine was a banjo playing student with a puke green Pinto. I was so afraid of that car. I was sure it would explode on our first date,but,he made me laugh all night…

Y'all probably had fun shopping and decorating together. 🙂
Yes! We had a lot of fun shopping and definitely decorating. In fact having “fun” in general was never an issue.
Hilarious!
“According to the self-appointed Ministry of Perpetual Grievances” is hysterical! Thanks for my morning chuckles! I thought the ad was great, and very clever. For anyone thinking it has fascist undertones is over the top insane.
Jealousy for the women screechers and karens.

Already a paid subscriber- love your work & work ethic❣️do you have a tip jar link that will work from the the app?
Thanks SO much Dena! I have no idea if this link will work from the app but here you go! :) https://ko-fi.com/jennasside

Just subbed. She finally broke me. I guess my grinch heart just couldn’t take it that one of our own was suffering.
I appreciate you and your grinch heart sooooooooooo much!!! XOXO (Don't forget to email me and tell me where to send your book!)
The Grinch is having a hard time around here. Jenna proves that talented and entertaining writing is worth paying for.
Same
Gross, but absolutely true. That's what I think of with all those "big is beautiful" ads.
I keep asking myself just how stupid these people can be, and they just keep proving to me that I continually set the bar waaaaaay too low. They are pathetic.
Has anyone heard anything from Dylan Mulvaney lately? Guess he didn’t make the cut during the auditions.
I think he DID “make the cut”, and unfortunately for him, it’s permanent. 🤣
.....hold my beer! 🍺💠😏

The answer is to triple down and keep it coming. Ignore them-laugh at them and do it again. Stop giving woke idiots any attention!
Dunkin’ Donuts had an ad that triggered the jealous pink hair cat ladies. They have not apologized. Hope this keeps up.
I really hope that King of Summer dude marries the Good Jeans gal ( and they reproduce like mad)👰🏼♀️🤵🏻♂️👶
If they kept their mouths shut no one would have even known about the ad…AE hasn’t been all that cool with the kids for a while.

Don't forget your credit card.
From the "Ministry of Perpetual Grievances": American Eagle doesn't sell overalls. They are anti-agrarian.
Yeah, but they could.
Picture Sydney in a pair of bib overalls...
(Trembles, stutters, pauses) Mmm..... Overalls. (a la Homer J. Simpson)
I LOVED the AE ad. Period. I love they chose Sydney because she is hot AF 🔥 and sex sells jeans. End of story.

I asked a detective friend of mine , how do you solve your cases … two things usually …. “Money and Monkey “( ps sorry if I insulted anyone) .
The brouhaha-I knew I would run out of eye-rolling emoji space so just know that’s what I think. Im happy paid sub and I appreciate your hard work. Sorry about the job, Jenna. I’m 🙏🏻 you find a better one.
