Much-Discussed J.C. Penney Ads Debut During Oscars [View all]
A series of J.C. Penney ads featuring Ellen DeGeneres made their debut last night during the Oscars telecast. The five ads show the comedienne traveling back in time, imagining worlds where shopping was done differently.
The ads have been the focus of debate since OneMillionMoms.com launched a boycott campaign against the retail chain, accusing the company of alienating customers with their choice of a lesbian spokesperson.
If anything, the deceptively-named defenders of “traditional families” have swung public opinion in the opposite direction. The retailer has stood firmly by Ellen’s side, and DeGeneres even took time out of her show to thank fans for their massive outpouring of support.
