It's playing with it and strait air balling it. It's nothing worse then the old Carl's Jr burger ads but they had hot girls sucking on some quality meat.

This makes me think the pants stay on? Playing off the sexyness of the actress is a bad question to ask.

You know how the hot girl takes the guys shirt after sex. What if she goes after the jeans. That would have been titillating and double entendre is my guess the go to emotions they were going for. Like I said missed it by a mile.

I think they were just trying to be a bit quirky and funny. I never saw it as anything but that until other people got outraged.

That said. Maybe it is intentional. They definitely got many MANY times their ad money in return. Sure, the opinions are mixed but if half the market likes you that is not a bad position to be in.

So either they stirred the pot knowingly, in which it is pretty smart. Or they did it unintentionally in which case they're innocent because intent is key.

Either way the outcome is pretty good for them. I'd give their marketing a raise. Even if you dislike them, you suddenly know them. That's a big leap.

Of course not. It's essentially a duplicate of an ad with Brooke Shields from 45 years ago and no one was going apeshit over that as being racist. (They WERE uptight since she was on 15.)

No wonder the GOP gets so many votes. The Far Left is going bonkers over stupid shit that doesn't really impact anyone.

I don't think so. I don't think any slight was intended by it. I think they were just trying to cash in on Sweeney's obvious sex appeal with a double entendre. It could just as easily have been done with sexy woman of another.

I think this whole things is much ado about nothing and the world has gotten a little too sensitive.

Obviously not, and anyone who disagrees is ignorant or trying to sell you something. There are a lot of people who disagree because ignorance is fashionable right now.

It's an ad for jeans. What could possibly be racist about it?

[genericname85]

stating the fact that genes determine your looks isn't racist. that's litterally all she did. and liking how you happen to look like is only a problem for people who don't look like that and are butthurt about not looking like that.

[DrPepper12]

NO ONE DOES!!! It's a manufactured narrative by Reich Wing media.

[kavakava]

filthyimmigrant pointed out that the founder of planned parenthood 's goal was to abort minority babies, because they have inferior genes. The left didn't care about that.

[onedarkcloud]

The idiots who think her ad is racist are the racists.

[WhiteThought]

Anyone who thinks it's racist is an imbecile.

[Sal_Monella]

No, just HOT.
