The advertisements promoting the homosexual lifestyle in an attempt to pander to the politically correct failed JC Penny.

I guess JCP's aggressively courting the homosexual 1% at the expense of their core 99% didn't work out very well then?

Most definitely. The homosexual militants would cite this as “proof” that homosexuality was “accepted” by society. Now it’s all manner of excuses and reasons otherwise from them despite realities to the contrary.

I shop at Walmart for groceries and necessary stuff every week, but Walmart is not good for clothes aside from tshirts, socks, and underwear.

I wouldn't go to Walmart to buy nice clothes, but Walmart ain't going to the graveyard like JCP, Sears, Kmart, and Best Buy.

Retail pays really poorly, so that probably has something to do with it; they can't hire motivated staff. The rare employee the get who has a degree in business is underutilized. It's a poorly managed business. The same can be said for Wal-Mart and other chain stores. There's no attention to detail, and customers notice.

Personally.....an ad campaign isn't going to sway me either way.

The products offered, the layout/cleanliness of the store, the prices, etc. are what will determine whether I shop at a store.

Wow, who knew that being ok with gays shopping at JC Penney's would have made for such a quick plunge in their stock. Or could it actually have more to do with the most ridiculous marketing plan ever conceived:

"The new JCPenney sounds so appealing on paper. Earlier this year, the retailer announced that “fake prices”—inflated big time to make markdowns seem more tempting—would disappear, to be replaced with a “fair and square” structure in which original prices started at least 40% lower to begin with. There would no longer be any need to corral coupons or show up at stores at 4 a.m. to get the best prices."

People like to feel like they got a deal. Don't need an MBA to know that.

Your homophobia would be funny, if it weren't so absolutely pathetic.

I love to watch people make up stuff to get worked up over and CD never fails me. It's like debating with yourself isn't it?

I know, it was directed at YOU.

You set up a scenero you wanted then commented on it. No reality needed.

All that sentence needed was birth certificate to be complete.
