Funny that JC Penney thinks hiring an open homosexual spokesperson will help their business when most of their customers are traditional families. DeGeneres is not a true representation of the type of families that shop at their store. The majority of JC Penney shoppers will be offended and choose to no longer shop there. The small percentage of customers they are attempting to satisfy will not offset their loss in sales.
–Onemillionmoms.com’s statement complaining about Ellen DeGeneres being the new spokesperson for JC Penny.
What’s really funny is that shaking off the old homophobes and “traditional families” is actually a major part of their brand revitalization. Their new CEO is an ex-Apple executive (it’s the guy who invented the Genius Bar) with some grand plans to make JC Penney into the anti-Macy’s.
And let me tell you, pissing off conservative moms is the first best step to making your brand cool again.

i saw the name “tniya” on a bill and knew without even thinking about it that it was pronounced “tuh-NIE-uh”.
I am really sick of people giving me that dumb lecture about how if you put a rusty nail in a can of diet coke, 24 hours later it wil be clean
NEWSFLASH: MY INSIDES ARE NOT MADE OF RUSTY METAL.
also i’m pretty sure i piss it out within a couple of hours. it sure as hell ain’t staying in my digestive tract for no 24 hours.
i drink like 4 or 5 12 oz. cans a week; never more than 1 a day. GET OFF MY TITS, HATERS.
I refuse to step inside the ring and fight like a gladiator against my own. I’m not playing that game. Any woman who has survived a year or more of making music has my undying respect. It is a hard and vicious game and only the strongest and smartest survive.

Via Awesome Every Dayovershare case file of the day:
one of my co-workers is telling the entire office in her strident, piercing voice (i don’t know what it is about cajuns but a lot of them completely lack the concept of “inside voice”) that she’s worried her 7-year-old son’s penis is too small. “it looks like a doorbell.”
THANKS FOR THAT.
To protest a bill that would require women to undergo an ultrasound before having an abortion, Virginia State Sen. Janet Howell (D-Fairfax) on Monday attached an amendment that would require men to have a rectal exam and a cardiac stress test before obtaining a prescription for erectile dysfunction medication.

I will actually send her flowers like for real, I am on 1800 flowers RIGHT NOW because this is truly beautiful and probably actually a bit necessary?
