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.

Sales plunge 20% after JCP hires Ellen Degeneres as their spokeslesbian and they're calling it unexpected? Fools.

Hire some more queers; run some more queer-friendly advertising...that's the ticket.

Kind of too bad. "Penny's" started out and flourished as a Christian-based enterprise.

That coupled with their decision to no longer have sale prices in a sales conscious world is going to do them in. And I thought KMart/Sears would be gone before them.

I’ll say this about Ellen Degereres: she’s not Rosie O’Donnell.

I have recently seen JCP commercials, which seem to “date back” to the good ole days.

Well my wife shops at Penney’s and the bottom line is that women liked the coupon gimmicks, etc. (they liked being confused, which says a lot about the state of the nation today) She buys less stuff now at Penney’s than she did before the change.

That's what I thought. Appeal to the gay population, and when called on it, Penneys triples down.

Not to mention the oldsters who love them some coupons. Take those away, along with "sales".

Who's the CEO? Is he intentionally trying to ruin a 120 year old company?

Brilliant, just brilliant.

No, she’s a woman. No matter what she does to her appearance, she’s still a woman.

Isn’t this the company that eliminated store sales, lowered prices, and then said customers will now be flowing through the doors becasue of this new pricing policy?

Another retail dinosaur.

When you think about it, physical retail that is working now: Costco, Walmart / Sams, Home Depot. For just about anything else there’s on-line. It can wait.

Plenty of restaurant chains are doing well.

OK, she’s a MASCULINE woman — almost a GUY!

Why buy eye shadow pushed by Jean Claude Van Damme?
