OneMillionMoms.com protesting JC Penney for hiring Ellen DeGeneres as their new spokeswoman
It’s been 15 years since Ellen DeGeneres famously came out on her ABC sitcom and on the cover of Time Magazine and nine years since the debut of her popular daytime talk show.
But the Emmy winner remains a controversial figure to some, including a group called OneMillionMoms.com which is calling on JC Penney to replace DeGeneres as their new spokesperson.
‘Funny that JC Penney thinks hiring an open homosexual spokesperson will help their business when most of their customers are traditional families,’ the group states on its website. ‘More sales will be lost than gained unless they replace their spokesperson quickly. Unless JC Penney decides to be neutral in the culture war then their brand transformation will be unsuccessful.’

Stan says:
They should change their name to “one million homophobic moms”. So now we know that organization is a christian front group. JC PENNY knows gays and lesbian have more more to spend then one milklion broke hompoboic moms.
Charlie says:
It will be interesting to see how JC Penney reacts. I’ve never been a Penney fan, but might have to give them a another look.
ND Mitchell says:
Why are the Moms so pissed? Are they that pissed off that they did not appear on her Birthday Week or 12 Days of Christmas for the prizes?

Jennifer says:
I like watching Ellen and I have just started finding clothes for my kids at JCP. Personally a spokesperson doesn’t keep me from a store or bring me in.
