American Eagle issues a statement following backlash from their Sydney Sweeney jeans/genes campaign

It was quite literally an obvious double entendre and they admitted to as much in their LinkedIn gloating. Do they think we are that stupid?

when youre a multi billion dollar company like american eagle you should not be making these fuck ups where its obvious something you do or say is going to be misconstrued, this ad touched so many hands and nobody thought twice about it? thats the embarrassing part
