J. C. Penney is airing a series of TV
commercials that depict dads as complete
incompetents with their own children. There are, we
believe, five versions that all have the same
theme: mom has gone to Penney's one day sale and
dad is completely out of his element. Imagine women
being denigrated this way over, say, having a job
outside the home. I can see it now. The husband
prepares a great breakfast for the wife and kids
and she rushes out, brief case in hand. She gets to
her new corporate job, has a report due, and can't
figure out how to work the stapler or even how a
paper clip works. Since that's not going to happen,
figure J. C. Penny just isn't a store for men.
