While I'm all for gay marriage, I think that first chart is complete BS. I seriously doubt they surveyed for gay marriage in the 1920s, and I'm even more doubtful that 1990 a majority of Americans supported gay marriage.

You know how I know that you don't know what "cohort" means?

I was pretty sure I knew what the word cohort meant until you posted what is either a fundamental misunderstanding of the word cohort, or a fundamental misunderstanding of how studies should be performed.

I'm gonna have to ask for your explanation here.

A cohort (from the Latin cohors, plural cohortes) was the basic tactical unit of a Roman legion following the reforms of Gaius Marius in 107 BC.

Free market in action!

/why do you hate capitalism OMM?

It's simple demographics. Most younger people support gay marriage and gay families. Most younger people react negatively to those standing in the way of equal rights for gay people. The only surprising thing is that more businesses are not taking this stance.

"lennavan: I'm gonna have to ask for your explanation here.

In statistics and demography, a cohort is a group of subjects who have shared a particular event together during a particular time span, such as birth decade.

One Million Moms. Because I have a vagina, it spat out a baby, and that means I should be able to tell other people how to live their lives.

Fark off, you hyperdouchetastic bungholes. The fact that your womb can make a child is no more impressive or miraculous than the fact that my intestines can make a pile of shiat. You have no more right to influence anything because you turned some spunk into a child than I do because I turn Taco Bell into diarrhea. Maybe I should create a group. "One Million Mudholes". It would make just as much sense.

miscreant: FTA: Some even experienced in person the store manager saying "Thank you" and walking off while their customer and our concerned members were in mid-sentence. OMM has been told that JCP corporate office told store managers to say "Thank you" and then walk away.

That is so awesome.

Came here to say this. That's just farking PRICELESS.

Lionel Mandrake: The cohort date is the date of birth

natazha: such as birth decade

Well that makes a lot more sense. Kinda a silly title and a label on the X axis woulda helped. Alternatively, you could have taken a cohort of people, asked them in 1920, 1930, 1940 up through 1990 and made that graph to show how a cohort of people have shifted their views over time. Anyway...

Now I'm not saying anything for sure, but I would like to point out that there is a Fathers Day, and it falls in June. There will also be a June catalog from JCPenney. It will have pictures in it - quite probably pictures of fathers. Almost certainly more than one. I've said too much.

/I work at JCPenney corporate, so I'm really getting a kick...


CSB incoming...

I worked at Sears corporate, in the marketing department, years and years ago. We would get the occasional letters from cranks with 'tarded complaints, but it was rarely a big deal.

One day, my secretary screams out in agony, bursts into sobs, runs from her desk and doesn't return for 2 days. She had opened a letter that contained vivid, close-up, color photos of an abortion in progress.

This sweet, kind woman was (and is) a good catholic girl... and she was 6 months pregnant at the time. She became so upset by what she saw, she was afraid she would miscarry.

Apparently, Sears had run some ads on CBS, which had shown some made-for-TV "movie of the week" that included a character who had an abortion. In total, we received 4 more mailings from the same source over the ensuing two weeks, before the certified cease-and-desist letter was drafted, sent and received.

[/csb]

Would be nice if these "personal responsibility" types would stop caring about how other people live their lives.

What is so wrong about two people who care for each other? Does it matter if they're the same sex? Get the fark over it.

I can't wait for my generation to take over. fark these old baby boomer assholes.

ZeroCorpse: While I respect JC Penny's moxie, I still won't shop there until their whole price drop plan goes into full effect. They have always overcharged for their clothing, considering it's not any better than the stuff you can get at Kmart/Sears, Meijer, Walmart, etc.

The new CEO plans to drop their old image of being an overpriced place where your grandma shops, and I think it's a good idea, but I'm not interested until I see some serious changes to the pricing and the way they lay out their stores.

But, Yay! Lesbians!


They actually just did that... For better or worse the new layouts do seem to make more sense, at least in the stores I have seen that have had the renovation.

Dogfacedgod: that picture is farking gross


Welcome to the brave new world, where apparently over-saturated green is an acceptable background colour.

The whole thing about JC Penny's managers saying "Thank you" and walking away while these homophobic twunts blather makes me so happy I might actually shop at JC Penny.

But probably not.

This probably isn't nearly as insightful as I think it is, but after this and the Ellen Degeneres blow up, it seems like JCP may be positioning itself to find a market among gays.

Also, something can be said for the men's department and the amount of butch lesbian garb that can be found there.

Lackofname: I came for pics of lesbians in corsets.

I left disappointed. Come on, Fark. :|

I cannot tell your gender by your Fark alias, but mine's female. I hadn't been in a J.C. Penny for well over a decade until one of my nieces took me to one recently. I would say the stuff I saw in the Women's Department was far above K-Mart and Walmart. I saw career separates that were on a par with Macy's but at half the price. I was really surprised that the cut and construction were as nice as they were. The fabrics were also better, and the color choices were very modern. A fully-lined lace tank dress at Penny's was $30, and it would be suitable for work with a jacket or a shrug. A lace tank dress at Macy's was $100, and it could only be worn for evening.

I agree. I shop there fairly often because I find their quality to be far superior to K-Mart and Walmart, and with the coupons they are forever giving me I honestly don't pay much more than I would at either of those two places. I buy a lot of my daughter's clothes there, as well, and I find they hold up very well.

In light of that ad, though, I'm thinking my daughter and I need to make a shopping trip in the near future. Good for them!

I guess I should pay more attention. I got that ad, flipped through it, tossed it in the recycle. I never read the captions. I just assumed "Gramma, Mom, Daughter, Daughter, Grandaughters....."

Or perhaps it's I don't look for offensive lesbianism imagery in everything I see....

hmmm......

JCP just laid off about 5000 employees. that included my Aunt... my single Aunt that never married, and never dates men.

I think I see the problem here; Lesbians are cool and would never wear those big-ass mom jeans they sell at Penney's.

I would like to see the birth certificates of the children represented by these supposed one million moms.

And the moms have to be moms to kids under 18

Store managers. They contacted... local store managers for a response.

This is precisely how stupid they are. No lies, no embellishments, no exaggeration necessary... this is straight from their own mouths. Pure, unfiltered retardation.

LOL, just a step up from complaining to the cashier and expecting a policy change... Fark One Million Moms, if I ever bought clothes, I'd go to JC Penny's. Not really sure where my wife buys my Levis, I open the drawer, and there they are, so I don't question things, but I'd go out of my way to patronize Penny's if I were suddenly single again...

Please let whomever it would be appropriate to tell that this gay American says thank you for the positive, non-token images of gays. I'll probably go to any local Target I pass in the next few weeks and have a short convo with any managers that have the time. And yes, the "Thank you" and walk away tactic is the best.

Humean_Nature: AFKobel: While entertaining, I'm always afraid the Statue of Liberty/Lady Justice passionate embrace is a sexual assault in the making...

What, because of the blindfold? They're just a little kinky.

Exactly. Because of the blindfold.

Justice is blind. As such, I can not be sure by looking at the photo that Lady Justice knows the soft luscious lips she is passionately kissing belong to another female.

Also, Lady Justice is holding the scales of justice in her left hand, so its clear that she is not gently and seductively caressing any other party of Lady's Liberty's firm, supple anatomy ... with her left hand at least. So, that gives me no insight into Lady Justice's knowledge of the sex of the person who is kissing her.

I can't exactly tell where her right hand is.... It might be firmly grasping the sword of justice, fastened to her right hip, clutching the firm steel to keep from crying out in her lover's embrace. She might be hoping that the hardness of the sword hilt will be equal to that of her impending lovers sword. Believing the kisser is a man. Or, as far as I know, her right hand could be gently, expertly and knowingly sliding under the folds of Lady Liberty's... toga... caressing the gentle curve of her belly as it glides up to the curves of her chest, sending waves of pleasure over her skin, as her porcelain fingers move towards Lady Liberty's stiffening areolas.

Their tongues intertwine as their loose clothing tumbles to the floor.... left only with their bondage-like headgear....

Look, can we get a drawing or an MS paint of what's going on about 10 minutes after this picture?

That will give me a better idea of whether its consensual.

Lionel Mandrake: Apparently, JCP has decided that appealing to the gay community is more profitable than bowing to bigots.

/why do you hate capitalism OMM?

Probably because if profit is the motive, then acceptance is not. The JC Penny people can then vote against gay marriage and strip same sex couples or gay citizens of all sort of rights, while they prosper with their ad campaign. It wouldn't even entail cognitive dissonance. it is simply a matter of making money at work while being true to their ethics in politics. taking a person's money has nothing to do with accepting their rights or equality.

Any other dumbass bigoted questions or will you stop you stupid now?

'I want you to be nice'

'What if someone calls my mamma a whore?'

'Is she? I want you to be nice until it's time not to be nice'

'How will we know when that is?'

'I will tell you. You are the store managers, I am the cooler'

I will be comforted with that mental image, a dramatic climax involving a JCPenny district manager ripping out the throat of an OMM spokesmoron, while Rev. Donald Wildmon looks on in impotent fury.

i will never understand the reason people have problems with gays -- they will never be fully honest about it because they know their reasons will make them look like small minded bigoted f*cksticks. goddamnit just get over your hate already and let people live their lives, it doesn't directly affect you so leave it alone. i am going to make the assumption that these "one million moms" need something to do between their fake real estate jobs, driving their kids around town and chasing their Xanax with vodka.
