Syd For Short

The ever-so-delightful Sydney Sweeney has unveiled her second American Eagle campaign. This time around, it’s “Syd for Short,” a summer ad campaign for American Eagle’s line of denim shorts. 😛

And, let’s face the facts in evidence; there’s no more iconic fashion for the American summer than denim shorts. They’ve been a fashion symbol since the 1960s, with Catherine Bach literally providing the name, Daisy Dukes, to the cutoff versions in the 1970s.

Yeah, given the hysterical screeds – and worse, the better-reasoned, racist, anti-American evaluations – it appears that White people appearing in marketing campaigns is even more of an existential threat to humanity than Climate Change.

No! No! Nooooo! They’re Hiring Beautiful White Women

😆 Well, I like the vast majority of American men – and a not an inconsiderable number of American women – have stared Doomsday in the boobs unafraid and smiled.

To be fair, however, to the Woke freaks, the restoration of White people, especially beautiful White women, to marketing and the general zeitgeist, may well be the Doom of Woke shit.

Yep. The Bene Gesserit as if they were a 21st Century company offering a suite of interlocking services and products – and Product As A Service. 😉

Innocence’s death, more often than not in the Civilized World, comes not through horror’s seen or done, but from learning that one is nothing but a market or political demographic to be manipulated and exploited. Oh yes, innocence dies whimpering with the simple knowledge that one’s heroes, one’s villains, and even the tensions between them are simply marketing and branding meant to profit off of you.

Yes, “Barbenheimer” is a term now. It’s a freaking meme, and a quite well done one at that. Indeed, it’s well enough done IMRHO that I’m posting about it – mostly because I find the image above disturbingly compelling.

And, I’m actually pretty sure that there’s some deeper sociological meaning to the Barbenheimer meme’s prevalence and popularity. After all, Barbie in many fundamental ways is the child of Oppenheimer’s work.
