Yes, I agree, I cannot believe this non-story is still going after more than two weeks, either.
Lizzo does not have great jeans.
Lizzo is calling out Sydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle jeans ad in a new song.
Can we retire the ugly, trashy phrase "calling out?"
On Wednesday, the four-time Grammy winner released two clips from a track on social media that name-dropped Sweeney and referenced the viral ad.
In one video snippet for "I'm Goin' In Till October" (below), Lizzo is clad in torn denim while hosing down a Porsche and raps, "No kizzy, he ain't got no business being with me. Fat ass pretty face with the titties. Bitch, I got good jeans like I'm Sydney." (Or perhaps that should be "genes"?).
In the second video, Lizzo opens with a clip of a cable news pundit doing a celebratory rant about the Sweeney ad, declaring, "We're over this woke agenda. We are over the Lizzos, we are over the Dylan Mulvaneys. If this were a 300-pound non-binary person they would be applauding her." Then the video cuts to Lizzo lounging in head-to-toe denim, similar to the Sweeney ad. Lizzo commented on the video, "Lizzo's got good jeans."
The messaging could be seen as a push-back on the Sweeney ad. But it could also be taken as a positive for the American Eagle campaign. The company tried to make the point in a statement on the controversy last week that the marketing effort was meant to be inclusive, and Lizzo adopting the "great jeans" tag for herself could be seen as a co-sign of it's intended message. As company put it in its statement, "We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone."
Clips from those videos under the fold.
People pointed out the the Sweeney Jeans/Genes homophonic pun (Homophonic? SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?) was actually just a straight replay of of an early 80s Brooke Shields ad for Calvin Klein jeans. She also made a pun about "survival of the fittest," fittest meaning "how well these jeans cling to your buttcrack."
American Eagle continues to not back down.
Sydney Sweeney has great aim. And they continue profiting not just from the ad itself, but from their laudable decision to not bow to the woke lunatics.
Her 2019 Instagram video of her shooting guns with a Hollywood gun trainer (I think he trained Keanu Reeves for John Wick) has gone viral.
Sydney Sweeney has impressed conservative admirers with her skills on the gun range after her American Eagle campaign caused controversy.
The "Euphoria" actress' 2019 video of herself shooting targets with Taran Tactical Innovations has resurfaced after the firearms retailer reposted the footage on Instagram Saturday, splicing it with a clip from her controversial denim ad.
Sweeney's Instagram video -- which noted she was "training for a new project" -- attracted plenty of new comments of support from mostly male fans despite it being six years old.
"3000% wifey material ????????????????????????," one comment reads.
Footage of Sydney Sweeney shooting targets at a gun range from 2019 has attracted many new admirers after her controversial American Eagle jeans campaign. Sydney
"Strong, self thinking women are the sexiest! ❤️???????? Nice shooting Miss Sweeney!" another comment reads.
"We love this valid American women... ????," another user wrote.
On Taran Tactical Innovations' video, more netizens expressed their love for her.
"I am a new fan of Sydney. I hope she doesn't cave to the cancel culture mob!" one user wrote.
"Make America hot again ????????????????," another comment reads.
Another video that's gone wild features her replacing the brake-pads on her fastback Colby.
For some reason, Lizzo decided she wasn't getting enough attention so she did her own "jeans ad."
A lot of people posted this Levi's ad from the surgically-altered Beyonce from a few years ago, and noted that no one freaked out then.
Well of course it didn't cause a fuss. The left insists on what they deceptively call "inclusion," as in, "We just want to be included in your representations of people on-screen."
What they actually mean is, "We just want you to exclude all white people from our screens because seeing them causes our mental illnesses and character flaws like envy to spike."
I mentioned this last Friday, but it's just so egregious I have to post about it again.
Leftist propaganda rag Rolling Stone claims that Akshually leftwingers are not freaking out about the ad at all, it's only right-wingers obsessing over it.
And apparently we're talking about it to deflect from Jeffrey Epstein.
