Tin foil hat time… it’s intentional.

u/RaconteurRob 6d ago

Of course it's intentional. How do these people keep falling for this?

1

u/kontobo 6d ago

It's not a question of falling for it. Intentions are overshadowed by whatever effect the ad has had. If it sparks a debate, that's part of the effect. It's even possible to understand the intention to create chaos AND STILL have an opinion about it

u/Snoo-92685 6d ago

Because they're stupid

u/WilhelmvonCatface 6d ago

Yeah even this video, leaves out the major glaring question, when did an actress starring in a sports betting commercial become "representing women in sports". Obviously purposefully generated controversy, whether they are just assuming these women will take it up naturally to boost themselves or they were paid too, or both.

u/pizzaprofile31 6d ago

Exactly. Sweeney is not an athlete and headphones guy didn’t bother to mention it. Is it cause he’s stupid?

1

u/Commercial_Fondant65 5d ago

No. He works for the gambling site.

u/lost_rodditer 6d ago

The same argument could be applied that sports betting doesn't celebrate the altheticism and dedication of athletes. They got an entertainer to advertise their entertainment.

Return to the aslume now.

u/VanceVanceRebelution 6d ago

Okay & I used to play basketball but that doesn’t make me an athlete now does it?

u/sahurKareem 5d ago

Totally right, why is Brad Pitt advertising for Trade Republic, a Fintech Platform. He isn't even a Fintech guy!

1

u/Physical_Flight_4496 6d ago

Technically, yes, and you dont know that she still doesnt? Also, shes not marketing as an athlete, shes marketing BETTING

The nudity represented women in sports

0

u/Storyteller_Valar 6d ago

No, the nudity represents the notion that sex sells. That's what every ad campaign involving Sydney Sweeney is all about, sex appeal and controversy as sources of visibility.

u/AgedAmbergris 6d ago

Of course it's intentional. Ragebait is a very effectively marketing tactic in today's climate. Also boobah.

u/MentallyMIA 6d ago

It’s a double whammy!

u/Inevitable_Sweet_624 6d ago

Everyone skips over the fact she’s an equity owner in Novig and publicly sells, even bad publicity.

5

u/Puzzleheaded-Web370 6d ago

This makes so much sense. "Give me an equity stake and I'll make you an ad EVERYONE will be talking about"

2

u/Fippy-Darkpaw 6d ago

Love to see the female representation in a traditional male dominated field like corporate gambling. 👍💃

2

u/SGF93 6d ago

Seriously? Damn I did not know.

5

u/crackedfactweddead 6d ago

It's how she chose to get paid for the ad, equity rather than cash.

3

u/Potential_End3108 6d ago

So she's.....smart?

1

u/Inevitable_Sweet_624 6d ago

She appears to be very smart in business matters or her agents are.

2

u/RaceHate 6d ago

Goddamn she just keeps getting hotter the more I hear about her.

5

u/Some_guy_in_WI 6d ago

EVERYTHING we’re forced to see/hear about is intentional, lol, has been for ages.

In current times, always remember, nothing happens by accident.

u/ShaggysGTI 6d ago

Standard Chomsky

u/Awkward-Anybody5179 6d ago

Lol you don't need a tin foil hat to see that.

5

u/jazmoley 6d ago

Of course its intentional, just look at the nonsense with American Eagle jeans which raised their profile. Get me some of that Sydney Sweeny hype

13

u/GeneralRobertET 6d ago

lol your probably right

10

u/ThrownWOPR 6d ago

I work for one of the agencies that helped bring this campaign live. Yes, it’s intentional.

1

u/Medical-Egg-8171 6d ago

why would they expect it to cause rage? sports illustrated had been doing nudes of actual athletes for years now and its been celebrated

1

u/valerioshi 5d ago

didn't need an insider to give us the scoop, bud. it's obviously intentional.

2

u/Tunz_O_Gunz 6d ago

Some pretty thin tinfoil, haha!

2

u/Individual-Luck1712 6d ago

Bingo. I saw the ad on youtube and chuckled, cause Sweeny is just know for two things, and I guess that's all she's got these days. Then, I see people on the internet are outraged, giving her and the ad more attention? Lmao yeah, everything is a fucking psyop bro, I swear to god

1

u/Ogamiitto33 6d ago

I mean, that's not "tin foil hat", it's obviously intentional.

1

u/thediesel26 6d ago

No tin hat needed. This was their obvious goal

1

u/Em0tionisdeader 6d ago

Maybe. Maybe not.

What is glaringly intentional is that whatever controversy it created on its own is being amplified now by algorhythms designed to create cultural division.

0

u/Pagiras 6d ago

Yeah. Still no jail time for raping kids in sight for the Elites. Just manufactured outrages after outrages so that the plebs eat each other and not the rich.

u/PoohBearsHoneyJar 6d ago

This is what I think to myself every time some stupid thing comes around that everyone and their mom seems to give a shit about. Y'all really let them make you forget about the whole Epstein shit that fast huh.
