Consumers just want to buy the products a store has to offer. They don't like it when a retailer gets all preachy and up in their business.

Paranoia is considered a symptom of mental illness.

Isn't Penney's going into the dumper? Don't think this will help them.

Actually, JC Penney can't afford to lose any more customers. Their new pricing structure turned off a lot of people, and their advertising is turning off more. They posted a huge loss in their first quarter.

Quote:
For the quarter ended April 28, Penney reported a loss of $163 million, or 75 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier profit of $64 million, or 28 cents a share. Excluding markdowns to reduce inventory levels, restructuring costs and pension-plan expenses, the latest quarter's loss was 25 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier profit of 36 cents. Total sales declined 20% to $3.15 billion. Same-store sales slid 19%; analysts had expected a 13.3% drop.

What the heck are all those names after the article in the comments section? Looks like the answers in some game. Weird.

Just imagine this advertisement with an ED product being sold instead. Or the homosexual version of enzyte Bob with the smile on his face all the time and 15 guys all hanging around him.

Big deal.
They probably are better as dads than some straight men. Or better parents than straight ones.

Seriously? The "gayest" big cities per capita are:

1. San Francisco
2. Seattle
3. Oakland
4. Minneapolis
5. Atlanta

I am very sad that even Father's day is being tarnished by this pro-gay crusade. I cry for America.
