  2. JC Penney Responds to Homophobic Boycott Calls with Gay Father’s Day Ad

    kashmir1:

    fuckyeahsodomites:

    In what appears to be a direct response to the failed boycott campaign of anti-gay group One Million Moms, JCPenney yesterday unveiled a new Father’s Day ad featuring a same-sex couple playing with their children.

    According to the company, the two men who appear in the ad are “real-life dads Todd Koch and Cooper Smith,” and the jubilant children are their kids, Claire and Mason.

    “First Pals: What makes Dad so cool?” reads the ad’s copy. “He’s the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver - all rolled into one. Or two.”

    Back in February, the department store chain faced criticism from the American Family Association’s One Million Moms project for its hiring of Ellen DeGeneres to be the company’s new spokesperson. JCPenney refused to submit to the group’s bullying, and stuck by DeGeneres

    They had a lesbian couple and their children (or child? I can’t remember if they had more than one kid or not) in their May catalog for Mother’s Day, too. I may be upset at the way they restructured their pricing recently and some of the rebranding they’ve done, but they get soooo many points from me for things like this.

    Awe.Some.

His own race, you know, that’s all on his hands. Which is why I think he has to make silly jokes and wear a fez. Because if he didn’t, he’d hang himself.” -Matt Smith

  9. HGTV drinking games would FUCK YOU UP.

    sweetbabybucky:

    • drink whenever someone notes the crown molding
    • drink whenever someone talks about a room being good for “entertaining”
    • drink whenever a gay couple makes a joke about closet space
    • drink whenever someone asks, “this is the master bedroom?” with clear distaste
    • drink whenever the realtor only addresses the woman about the kitchen
    • drink whenever they pick the WRONG FUCKING HOUSE

    SOOO true. Also: when Americans in, well, anywhere but America, say, “Wow, it’s not as big as our house back home.”
