So, the 27 year old actress, Sydney Sweeney, writhes alluringly through an American Eagle ad for blue jeans, and rasps out in a voice which sounds almost post coital, or possibly pre-coital, "My jeans are blue," and the internet erupts that she is now advocating for eugenics (blue eyes good/brown eyes bad) and "Nazi propaganda!"
Mad Dog had never heard of the fetching Ms. Sweeney, but very much enjoyed the ad, and having nothing in particular against blue eyes, or genes for blue eyes, was gobsmacked that anyone could possibly see this arousing ad in any way political.
But, then again, we have a lunatic fringe of easily offended and shocked people who have access to the internet in this country. Apparently, this crowd is a powder keg waiting to explode with any spark, or simply, to embrace another metaphor, living on the edge of a cliff where even mild breezes may push them off.
But, after all, the ad WAS NOT inclusive (no brown eyes shown) nor was it equitable (no Black or Brown actresses) nor was it diverse (only one actress.)
Not only that, because it focused on, or at least gave a glimpse of Ms. Sweeney's decolletage, it was anti-feminist, as it objectified woman as simply mammary delights for unenlightened men who see women simply as sex objects.
AND she is blonde! (How Third Reich-ian!)

Everyone knows blue eyed blondes are simply, ipso facto, Nazis!
Anyone who has ever read about the eugenics advocates of the 1920's would have to laugh at the outrage from those who find subtle messages in what was in, and what was not in, this commercial. If there was one thing eugenicists were not, they were not subtle.

Breeding human beings for the best traits to breed a population with superior traits was very much what eugenicists and their crowd (which included Theodore Roosevelt and Oliver Wendel Holmes) were all about.
They had "most beautiful baby" contests at town fairs to celebrate the best traits in babies--blonde blue eyed would not have been a disqualifier.

Google Francis Galton and J.H. Kellogg (yes, THAT Kellogg) and the Race Betterment Foundation--which, spoiler alert was not about improving the race by eating better cereals.

So, once again, we have a whacko element on the left, well not really on the left because it is so far off the spectrum it has circled around to what might be called the space cadet rim, which only makes Trump and the rabid MAGA crowd look less extreme.
Here's the ad:

Mad Dog instead of satiating your fixation with sexy blondes - in which you and I have finally found a point of complete agreement-- lets talk about the fact that your allied leftists are now celebrating another murderous trail, there was the UHC executive, the Israeli embassy staffers, the Jewish marchers in Colorado, and now the murder in Manhattan of a hedge fund executive (also Jewish) and NYPD officer (named Islam) and another young Jewish woman and a security guard. Have you read about how leftist Jew haters around the world laud these acts of violence. What say you? Will you denounce these acts of violence by those leftists who feel aggrieved- or did you ignore them because they are not MAGA? Will you condemn the DEM candidate of NYC who says prisons serve no purposes and globalize the intifada? What will it take for you do realize that the far left is morally bankrupt? .

ReplyDeleteAgain, your AI programmers really need to reprogram.
I could post a blog about popcorn, and somehow your algorithm would come back to leftist, Jew-hating elitist murderous fundamentalist Islamic terrorists who are pouring across the Southern border along with all those murderous rapists from shithole countries intent on purloining the purity of our white American women.
In days of yore we would have called this a "rubber stamp" response, but now it's "cut and paste."
Really, this does grow old.
The only real sport left here is trying to figure out where your AI center is located. Early speculation from friends and readers was Israel, but that's too obvious, so I leaned toward Russia, which has the staff for it, although, looking at the blog's stats, Brazil would be a contender. Don't know what the AI scene in Brazil is like.
On the other hand, Wyoming, Idaho or the Dakota's are in play, but, for some inchoate reason, I was thinking Chicago.
Mad Dog
Mad Dog,
ReplyDeleteI for one would like to see a total ban on the word “genes”—it’s just too triggering. If you weren’t such a Jew hating, lefty elitist you’d know damn well that that word crossing the lips of a white person is one step away from a Nazi salute. Come now Mad Dog- I expected better from you…
Maud
Mad dog now you can see the true nature of your leftist allies with the word “genes” being an emotional trigger and a secret code for white supremacy. What utter nonsense.

ReplyDeleteAh, and I know the difference between irony (sarcasm) and Deep Fake.
Mad Dog
It is the antisemite leftists and gay activists who side with Hamas as the force of liberation that have no sense of irony or for that matter stupidity not I
ReplyDeleteMad Dog,
ReplyDeleteHappy to see sarcasm is not lost on you. Can’t say the same for Anon who remains wedded to the same old talk from crazy town…
Maud
Maud,
ReplyDeleteRobots cannot get tongue-in-cheek. AI hasn't got that good yet.
Mad Dog
Sorry but no room for sarcasm with the murder of 1200 by a terrorist force and ideology supported by the far left in USA. Sarcasm and irony is a fig leaf for leftist denial of real world realities that threaten our democracy and the principles upon which the USA was founded
ReplyDeleteIf you want sarcasm try Nancy Pelosi claim that our democracy was stolen and at risk from the rag tag mob on January 6th and the half naked man with horns sitting in the speakers seat. That is an example of irony and sarcasm that I can appreciate.
