I don’t see them standing up for the rights of Jews… oh! that’s right. They only believe you have right if you’re a straight, white, Christian. My bad.

That ad was so vanilla that I don’t see how it could offend anyone. One of the elves seemed a little gay maybe? Or are people offended when they hear a lesbian talk?

What I love though is the fact that many of the people I know are going shopping at JCP to spite OMM. Then they actually find more cute stuff — and telling their friends about it. JCP should send OMM some Christmas basket or something, really.

I’ve been a supporter of One Million Mom for a long time & at times I don’t agree with complaints. I watched this video & I don’t see a problem here. It’s a cute commercial. Funny. Go figure. Plus they said Merry Christmas. Not Happy Holidays. Go JCP. Good job.

WoW, for a second there I was thinking really hard why this would be offensive and the it clicked that these douche bag moms really hate lesbians. Way to go ignorant moms you are teaching your kids so well on how to hate on your fellow human being, I am pretty sure the world needs more hate than it already has. SMH

What is the issue? That she is gay? I’m confused, she’s on commercials all the time! And she’s awesome! Get over yourself, bigots.

When are these “One Million Moms” people going to realize that it’s 2012 and no one cares about their opinion? Honestly, the past few years I’ve heard of their organization only a few times and each time it was when they tried to shove their prejudice, dated opinions down the throats of everyone else who doesn’t care if places like JCP have a lesbian, who has an enormous fan base because she’s NICE and funny and clearly a good person, representing their company. Get over yourselves, all you’re teaching your children is hatred.

I don’t get how this is even an issue. She rocks, her sexuality is no one else’s business and doesn’t affect her ability to entertain. Anyone ‘offended’ by this seriously needs to get a clue.

One Million Moms use two parking spots at the mall? Is that why they are so angry? But they are also getting gifts!

To all of you wondering what was offensive, that’s just it. There is nothing wring with that commercial, these people are mad because jcp has a known lesbian in the ad. Its that simple. Pretty fucked up right? Close mined people suck.
