Sweet I didn't edit over your response.  See above please.

Edit it dropped some of my second paragraph and I am replacing it

Its best to avoid praising certain people for having good genes because then you have to accept people have bad genes and that brings us down a road of eugenics. 

It's so easy to be "hey Sydney sweeney is fucking hot and so are our jeans"

I'm saying you bringing up DV part of the campaign was irrelevant because it doesn't mean that the campaign cannot be criticised, to me that's a weird thing to say. 

I totally understand the point of the campaign that it's a silly play on words, but the optics of it is pretty tone deaf and I'm surprised that this made it through the screening process. 

Like just because I understand the point doesn't mean it can't be weird and inappropriate, for example this old Sony ad 

Slippery slope fallacy.

I never said it could not be criticized I said you were missing the point.  Did you even know about the DV angle before I mentioned it?  Speak true.
