Sure, she's got great jeans—but actress Sydney Sweeney's latest American Eagle ad has sparked an internet storm involving Nazis, eugenics, and, yes, denim. Mia, Jessie and Holly break down the very weird week Sydney's had and ask: WTAF is going on?

Also today:

• The Aussie Government wants to ban YouTube for under-16s—and even The Wiggles are weighing in. Is it a smart move or a total tech overstep?
• Scurrilous gossip: Katy Perry is dating a former PM and Pamela Anderson has soft-launched a new man who just happens to be a film star with a tragic past. Two things can be true? We hope so.
• And we’re introducing you to FAFO—the punk rock cousin of 'Let Them'—and why it might just be your new life motto.
