    Ellen DeGeneres' JC Penney Partnership Slammed By Anti-Gay Group One Million Moms


    Total BS. These people need to stop and read what they are writing. How could they know exactly who shoppes at JC Penney. Seriously, let the marketers do their jobs, and stop attempting to censor everything.

    Nobody cares about what these guys have to say, fortunately.

    Publicity stunt. If they keep putting their names out there, they will be further discredited and ridiculed by the American people. I hope they keep doing things like this, because frankly, I want people to see for themselves what a hateful and utterly clueless organization AFA is.

    Most people could care less who they support, they just want their products. This idea that the American People will be offended by a company supporting what they feel is right and and will stop shopping at said company is complete bullshit.

    "The majority of JC Penney shoppers will be offended and choose to no longer shop there."

    This was the most ridiculous part to me. Have these supposed one million moms actually met a human being outside of their little club?

    they dont have one million moms. it will be shocking if they even have 50,000 moms involved. It is all illusory.

    Wow...because obviously everyone is an ignorant homophobe who will stop shopping at a store because someone in one of their ads happens to be openly gay. Damn people, grow a brain and learn some tolerance already.

    If you want to understand AFA, then read 'The Grand Inquisitor' by deostroyevskey (no doubt mispelled that, but that name tends to alude me). He nailed them centuries before they existed.

    That logic doesnt track at all. Ellen has her own talk show, & Im pretty ure it isnt just LGBT people who watch it. So if tons of straight people watch Ellen on TV, Im pretty sure theyll keep shopping at JC Penny. Why? Because its obvious they watch Ellen because she's a celebrity & entertaining, not because shes gay, which is probably the same reason JC Penny hired her to advertise them.

    Plus there's that other thing where people tend to get a bit less picky about who does waht with who in a lousy economy & shop wherever is best & affordable for them rather than put their principles first. The problem with a lot of groups like One Million Moms is that they grossly underestimate the intellgence of the population, just like politicians do. Every one treats voters like they are silly, ignorant children in an election year, & this is just a continuation of that...

    Yea, afa is such a joke along with fof, nom and cwa. Sure some small minded people will read the afa alert about this and avoid Penny's for a while, but they're insignificant and they'll soon forget when the next alert comes in their email. And yea, lots of people love Ellen. They'll gain more shoppers if anything. Haha, those hate groups are getting so fringe it's awesome! Dwindle and die off please. :thumbsup:
