Move Aside Sydney Sweeney—Mike Rowe Has Great Jeans, Too

Nazi recruitment via denim ads wasn’t exactly on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are.

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’ve undoubtedly seen the liberal meltdown taking place over actress Sydney Sweeney’s ad for American Eagle. Innocent play on words or outright Nazi propaganda? If you’re overweight, over-tatted, and have an unnatural hair color, you’re probably screaming the latter.

Don’t get me wrong, the ad is annoying. While I could do without the vocal fry, the commercial is otherwise good marketing; it features Sweeney, who is recognizable and gorgeous, and utilizes a fun play on words to sell jeans. It’s really that simple.

…Or is it?  

Mike Rowe seems to think something more sinister is going on at American Eagle and he took to social media to discuss the blatant propaganda. The shocking part? Rowe revealed he is also a denim-wearing Nazi.  Oh, heil naw.

Rowe said via his social media:

Jean Therapy

Long before the Nazis at American Eagle began promoting The Master Race in a series of commercials celebrating “good genes,” (with a little help from a hot model wearing some “good jeans,”) I was doing the same thing for another famous denim provider hoping to capture the attention of millions of white people. I refer, of course, to the bigots over at Lee Jeans, who asked me to help them raise some money for The American Cancer Society.

Specifically, as the official “Celebrity Ambassador of Denim Day 2011” I was asked to announce a very promising breakthrough in “gene” therapy, and then, urge Americans to forego the purchase of another pair of “jeans” they probably didn’t need, and instead, donate the cost of those jeans to The American Cancer Society. I said sure, but only if I could do so in a way that would please Adolf Hitler.

“No problem!” they said. “Go for it!”

So I called my mother, an avowed white supremacist and breast cancer survivor who taught me all I know about eugenics. We filmed the PSA later that week, and the bigots at Lee Jeans put it on the air fourteen years ago. In it, you’ll notice I’m not wearing any pants, and flaunting my genes in a way that would have made The Fuhrer proud. In other words, you’ll see me doing the same thing that MSNBC, The New York Times, and countless scolds across the Internet have accused Sydney Sweeney of doing. Accusations that, it must be noted, have led to an unprecedented level of free publicity that’s turned American Eagle into the latest Wall Street darling.

Perhaps, had the mainstream media been this diligent in 2011, those bigots over at Lee Jeans would have raised enough money to cure breast cancer once and for all.

Maybe next time.

Watch:

It’s odd everyone missed how racist Mike Rowe’s ad was back in 2011. Maybe if he had bigger boobs and fit into a size two his white supremacy wouldn’t have been overlooked by jealous righteous social justice warriors.
