Sydney Sweeney didn't fuck little girls.
but you know who did?
No one that I know fucking gives a shit about this ad or who she’s registered with. Especially not any left leaning people. All the “outrage” is another manufactured culture war.
Reminder that Trump is in the Epstein files and admitted Epstein “stole” an underage employee from Mar a Lago.

Who even sees commercials anymore?
We're past the point where the right responds to actual outrage. They literally manufactured this to be outrage, maybe even to distract from the fact that trump raped kids with Epstein.
The owners are the Schottensteins, and they've been pro-trump from the beginning:
During the 2016 presidential election, Corey and Brian Schottenstein served as presidential electors for the state of Ohio at the request of the Trump campaign. Corey is a Managing Partner at Schottenstein Real Estate Group, which sold a $49 million Palm Beach home down the street from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club.
Members of the Mar-a-Lago Club themselves, the Schottenstein family has vacationed in Palm Beach for years and knows Trump personally. Brian, the President of SRE, got married to former Ohio Senate President Stan Aronoff’s granddaughter, Toria Aronoff, at Mar-a-Lago in December.
The ad is full of racist dog whistles, and every one of them is intentional.
But no one sees ads anymore, so there was no outrage.
So the right just pretended there was outrage, likely to distract from the fact that Epsteinand trump raped kids together.
Quick edit:
Given the connections, wealth, and all the problematic shit AE had with their teen employees...
It would be implausible that a couple of the Schottensteins are on the same list.
Manufacturing distractions could very well be the price to get their names redacted too
And we're all assuming all the redactions are trump, too. Well played, schottensteins
The US TV ad market will be worth around $57 billion this year and generate around $800bn in trade, so vast numbers of people watch advertising. It isn’t for funsies.
Yeah...
Billion dollar corporations never waste money, they're all super efficient and we should be grateful we get to buy their products.
/s
Like, how the fuck can anyone say it generated any amount of trade?
Because it is tracked. For example, Coca-Cola puts an ad on a station, and then Nielsen or the network look at how much Coke was sold in that area before, and then immediately after the ad. An uptick in sales is attributable to the ad.
Ad buyers don’t just randomly buy up airtime for shits and giggles. It’s all planned and correlated with data.

The people selling the ad space say it works. Because they sell the ad space...
The people making the ads say they work, the people budgeting for ads say it works...
Because if anyone from any area of ads admits no one sees them or is really Influenced anymore, all of them are out of a job.
Like...
This isn't unique, you know most high level employees don't actually do anything right?
Keep trying to justify your job, marketingboy. AI coming for you just like the rest of us.
Republican.
There I went through the shitty Independent article.
Also, this girl and her family are just straight up creepy. She talked about her grandpa commenting on how great her tits are and that they’re money makers.
Gramps just pissed that he had the gene but not the chromosome.
The controversy surrounding the advertisement has also been featured on Fox News 28 more times than the Jeffrey Epstein saga this past week.
Can someone tell me, what she is know for besides boobs? Like what role made her famous?
Euphoria and The White Lotus. Both shows that used sex to shore up an otherwise boring story
Never seen either.
not missing much on white lotus. I saw it and don't remember anything.
it was probably okay, maybe even good, at some moments. on the whole, skippable
