J.C. Penney Co., which is making major pricing and merchandising changes, said Tuesday that it swung to a first-quarter loss that was larger than expected and that it no longer expects to meet its previous profit forecast for the year.
-snip-
The net loss was $163 million, or 75 cents a share, compared with a profit of $64 million or 28 cents a share a year earlier. Sales in the quarter ended April 28 fell 20% to $3.15 billion.

Well, easy enough to confirm the obvious.
Dump Ellen Degenerate and see if profits recover...
I will never buy a product or business promoted by a militant gay. Never.
Even if they make my attitude a hate crime.
I learned my Anita Bryant lesson well...
Payback's a b***h!
Funny thing...
It doesn't seem to have bothered Disneyland or Disney World.
And don't ask me why I will never go on a cruise ship that is pervert-friendly.
I think it has more to do with Penny’s no longer having sales than hiring Ellen Degeneres. I quit shopping because of the higher prices.
FYI: Ellen had NOTHING to do with this. It is their ridiculous change in pricing that is keeping people away. I knew from the start that the change would ruin them.
As for Ellen, are you kidding? Her show is hugely sucessful. Get real, folks.
That’s true.
JCP supposedly joined the Limbaugh advertising boycott over the “discourse” but if you read their facebook page, those who object to their latest ad campaign are allowed to be demeaned as haters, bigots, inhumane, idiots, etc.
Typical leftist hypocrisy. No use for them at all.
Hahah, just because I think someone is funny I might be gay? Your an idiot.
If you ever want to question my manhood in person...email me. Otherwise Kiss my ass biitch.
Except when Matthew Sheparad was killed, she jumped on the "blame the homophobic America campaign", and gave a ranting interview, looking like she spent a double shift over a deep-fryer.
It’s Ellen, don’t kid yourselves. She even put American Idol in the viewership doldrums. Homosexual activists are the kiss of death to sales to any market broader than themselves.
yes I know now she is a Lesbian biatch, , I only knew of her from a funny movie she was in and and once I watched her show, I thought she was funny, geez, give a guy a break!
I used to love JC Penney. The quality of their clothing has declined since they changed their pricing. They are losing customers big time and it isn’t because of Ellen Degeneres. Their products have gone downhill.
“I’ll say this about Ellen Degereres: she’s not Rosie O’Donnell.”
Rosie on top....... Don’t think I want to go there!!!!
Thanks so very much for the link to that story about the JCP policy!
And what about her show? Advertisers aplenty.
How many parent companies are represented by the products being advertised?
There’s a lot more that went into the recent changes than Ellen. The biggest one which is probably killing them is the “less” mailing. Sure they now only send out one circular a month instead of the one or two a week they used to, but that “circular” is now a freaking mini-catalog that must cost 10 times as much to produce as their entire month’s worth of circulars before and more to mail, and winds up in the trash just as quickly. I like Penneys but they really need to understand that if I want clothes I’ll be by, if I don’t circulars won’t change my mind.
Maybe she learned from experience as this is exactly what torpedoed her first show.
