Penney's Gay Ad Campaign Backfires on CEO - Literally! He's Fired!

I'm not sure how I missed the on-going flap over J.C. Penney's dissing traditional marriage. Maybe it's because in 2012 my new year's resolution was not to buy any clothing so I didn't go into Penney's all year. Maybe it's because I don't watch much TV and rarely see commercials. Since I also get most of my news on the internet from Drudge, and the Catholic portals, maybe Penney's news was down the page. At any rate, I missed it until I posted something on Facebook about a frustrating experience with their on-line site. Pro-life friends slapped me with wet noodles about buying anything from Penney's. (I didn't actually.)

But if earlier Penney's headlines escaped my notice, I did caught the one below about the CEO's firing. Let's hope it heralds a return to sanity at the company because I've always enjoyed their store.

Maybe gay ad campaigns aren't really all that good for business. Are you listening, Starbucks?
