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?

J.C. Penney - cashing in on Obama-mania


I can't stop laughing. J.C. Penney's has a line of "hope" pendants clearly cashing in on the Obama-mania. Well, they are after all in business to make money and, they can, no doubt, sell them to the same folks whose homes were forclosed because of bad loans.

No doubt these gaudy geegaws are made in China. My only question is why they don't have one that combines Michelle's pearls with the cheap looking trinket in the middle?

Actually, I do have one more question. Is that a rising or a setting sun? The answer seems pretty obvious to me - definitely twilight. But if you're a gay activist, a feminist, an abortionist, a porn peddlar, a liberal politician, Chris Matthews, a terrorist, an ACORN rep, or a Planned Parenthood employee you'd probably disagree. Snap them up now for Christmas while you still have a little money before the big tax increases.

I wonder what Ben Franklin and the Founders would say about the sun image? Is the Republic rising or setting? Tea anyone?
