Is there anything that doesn’t provoke “outrage” nowadays?

Another reason to have school uniforms.

I haven’t seen JCPenny’s ad but K-Mart is running “Be A Trayvon” ads.

I dislike the hypersenstivity, but I'm enjoying that JCPenney is being kicked by it. Live by political correctness, die by political correctness. But then I had uniforms in grade school and usually went for jeans and a t-shirt in high school so I never got into the "back to school" clothes frenzy.

Reprehensible marketing tactics, but they’ve been using them for decades.

When I was in school my siblings and I were the subject of scorn and bullying because my Dad was too thrifty and sensible to buy us the “right” tennis shoes. We survived.

I have a photo of my granddaughter as she enters 7th grade. She’s happy although I wish her shorts were longer. You can tell from her face that she’s joyful. Have a photo (from Facebook) of my cousin’s granddaughter entering 7th grade. She does not look happy. She’s wearing a uniform and sensible shoes and glasses. Poor girl is big, not fat but looks very tall and a bit stocky.

When I was young we didn’t need advertising to tell us that if we didn’t wear the “right” clothes we wouldn’t be accepted. Kids are the most notorious conformists going.

How ‘bout the K-Mart back to school ads promoting ghetto style for elementary kids?

The ad is insensitive but it’s also true. Wearing the wrong clothes in school can make your life hell. My clothes were from a thrift store and nothing matched and I got put downs all the time. Just the way it is. Kids are mean.

Having watched the ad, the whole “bullying” crap is a pantload by hand-wringing pantywaists.

Should have stuck to ads with two moms and two dads. (/sarc)

Even worse, the ad is false advertising. No way is JCP clothing cool or the “right” brand, and if someone was going to be subbed or beaten for having the wrong clothing, JCP clothing definitely wouldn’t solve the problem, but only make it worse.

Ironically, I would probably be ostracized for wearing clothes that came from J C (knock knock knock) Penney.

Arrgh, enough with PC bully bs. There are much more important “issues” out there than bullies.
