“In the past few weeks there has been a lot of conversation and controversy over advertising. First, we had the wild allegation that American Eagle jeans ads with Sydney Sweeney were racist, then a kerfuffle over the Cracker Barrel logo. Ever since trans celebrity Dylan Mulvaney popped open his first Bud Light, advertising has seemed less and less like an effort to sell widgets and more and more like ground zero in our society’s culture wars. An early example of an ad that had significant backlash was in April 2017, when Pepsi aired a spot with Kendall Jenner in which she magically subdues angry protests by offering everyone a soda. Reaction from the left was swift and angry.” (09/08/25)
