I’m just reading about the controversy over the Sydney Sweeney jeans advert and wondered what others thought about it.

AIBU to think it’s completely absurd?

It’s a play on the word jeans. It’s probably also a reference to the fact she’s attractive. I don’t think it’s offensive, or supportive of eugenics, or “fascist”.

Surely this is just people finding offence in anything?

Happy to be convinced otherwise.

I have no doubt that it was genuinely just a play on words and there was no intention to be offensive but when you’re coming up with this sort of thing you need to be aware of how things might be interpreted by all of your audience.

What is the controversy about? What's it called?
