They are so archaic and irrelevant, maybe it’s their attempt to seem hip. Out of several stores I ordered from on Cyber Monday, their package (ONE item) is the only one I don’t have yet. And I only ordered from them as I couldn’t find an item at LL Bean.

Liberals and the LGBT think they’re in the majority until crunch time comes and companies they work for and give advise to collapses.

Silly fools, trying to sell to a tiny percentage of the population. If you want to make money sell clothes to FAT people!

it’s really a shame about JC Penny. Their ad campaigns and business decisions - remember the Target executive they briefly hired that wouldn’t do sales - are awful. Ellen Degenerate was annoying but it didn’t stop me. I have know idea who this new spokesperson is because I avoid TV as much as possible.

I still shop there at Christmas with a dear friend because we get good quality clothing and housewares during their holiday sales. We’ve been going to Penny’s every December for over 25 years. Service has gone down, the decorations sparse and the merchandise displays are not always neat. For the latter, it is Christmas time and lots of shoppers rifle through stuff.

I go there strictly for nostalgia. The Sears nearby is horrendous. I can’t believe it’s still in business. Penny’s won’t be far behind. I miss catalogs but then I’m getting old.

Ellen DeG being their spokeslez was one thing; but then their mail and news insert brochure/alogs began to have cavorting, prancing, sashay-ing doubledad families page after page. Empty stores for 6 months, CEO fired, then JC Penance for a while and another decent run. Now this. Can’t fix stupid I guess.

JC Penny stock is already circling the toilet bowl. it has been at historic lows, and is still dropping.

Its bankruptcy is probably a matter of 6 months.

It’s more like a K-Mart

What's a K-Mart? Is that like a Montgomery Wards or Woolworths?

My mistake. I thought that guy in the picture was named “Richard Smoker.”

Most TV shows have a gay, a gay couple and a mixed couple. If aliens visit they would they would be surprised .

The majority of men in commercials, these day, are either portrayed as idiots or wimps.

I'm not a 'soap opera' person, but for some reason I've watched the Young and Restless on and off for years.

I'm absolutely amazed at the change in it lately. It's become so PC that it's ridiculous- unwatchable. It's been top rated for years, and has won all kinds of rewards, but I predict this going all in for PC will kill it.

Anyone here know what I mean? Agree?

Slouching, pierced, tatted, unkempt kids
My JCP sales staff is some old folks and lots of minorities (in an overwhelming white suburb).
   Given that, and their totally PC advertising, it's very obvious who JCP is pandering to.
   I shopped JCP for decades, but switched to Macy's when JCP started all the queer and minority BS.
Mr. James Cash Penney must be spinning in his grave

If I had money, I would short the stock.

You don’t need money to short a stock. You need money to cover the short (if you’re wrong).

HGTV = Homo Gay TV.

At the beginning of the new Pandora jewelry Christmas commercial, it appears to be a lesbian couple lovingly exchanging presents. If I owned by of their junk, it’d now be in the trash. Way to turn off the vast majority of their customers.

Guess your dad grew up in the city. In rural areas, the Sears catalog was all you had. That or sewing your clothes.

Saw a jewelry commercial on last night. Women giving jewelry to women, white on white, white to black. The thing that hit me is that Christmas is the time that men give jewelry to women. Won’t shop there this year. Oh had one man on at the end for 2 seconds. Who are these people doing commercials. Are they are gay?

There’s a commercial for a French fashion or fragrance house on TV.
The model is dressed as a female but she/he could be either IMO.
We’re getting inundated with the gender blur. Wear your rubber soled shoes at all times.g

I saw one where the guy gave an engagement ring to another guy. Like I said, I don’t get why they feel they need to shove it down our throats. I won’t be buying anything from that chain.

First there was Gibsons. Then there was K-Mart. Now, we have Target and Walmart. There may still be some K-Marts in the poor sections of town and it’s guaranteed to be trashed out. The last time I was in one was 25 years ago.
