Awww, better luck next time! If you’ll remember, the “One Million Moms,” a subsidiary of the American Family Association hate group, was all up in arms about JC Penney hiring that homosexual lesbian pervert/America’s sweetheart Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson, and they really thought they had a point to make, one which people would listen to. Nah:
One Million Moms was outraged that JCPenney would affiliate itself with a “high-profile homosexual entertainer” like Ellen DeGeneres, but its attempt to boycott the store has fizzled. Director Monica Cooley believes “only time will tell,” because the group is now moving on to other issues that require its attention.
Think Progress also points out that their boycott of Toys ‘R’ Us was a big ole failure.
Their yelling at Toys R us was also a dismal failure, as the evil “gay wedding” issue of Archie comics has sold out…poor, poor, bored housewives/moms…
And they’ll get as far with those stores as they have with Toys R Us and JC Penny. Just a bunch of fundie women thinking they should be able to control the choices and morals of everyone else.
“other issues that require their attention”? What attention? The attention of one million moms? Sure. If they have one million moms (sounds so caring and nice, doesn’t it?), I’ve got one million bucks. Only in their dreams. More pure BS from the uber-conservatives.
Yesterday I saw a Penny’s commercial with Ellen D which was a parody of an I Love Lucy show — it was really funny and clever.
Monica Cole is not anywhere as powerful as she is claiming. Her claimed victory over having Kraft Foods ceasing sponsorship of GCB was fabricated when Cole took Kraft Foods statement out of content and twisted it to elevate her victory status.
omm’s claim: Victory! Way to go moms. Philadelphia has decided to pull its advertising from GCB … “We have received complaints from consumers and their opinions about our advertising are important to us,” said Kraft Foods.
Here is the ENTIRE statement released from Kraft Foods: “Reports about commercials for its Philadelphia Cream Cheese being pulled from the show as a result of the controversy are FALSE. As part of a larger multishow media buy on ABC-TV, there were some spots included in the rotation for the new GCB series,” Kraft says. “It’s customary to advertise on premiere episodes due to their large viewership, like Philadelphia Cream Cheese did this week.
“The brand has decided to redirect advertising to other programs with an established audience,” the statement continues. “Although we received a few consumer complaints, this decision was not linked in any way to the content of this particular show.”
