Well, I thought this spot was pretty hilarious, but what is it teaching our youth about sex?  “Today’s the day to get away with it” is a tad out of line on the abstinence front, but makes the commercial way more hilarious.  Yeah, that’s right, I’m torn between “this commercial is hilarious” and “it’s way out of line.”  But let’s just say that it isn’t what I expected from a J.C. Penney commercial.

   JCPenney was deeply disappointed to learn that our name and logo were used in the creation and distribution of a commercial that was submitted to the 2008 International Advertising Festival at Cannes. No one at JCPenney was aware of the ad or participated in the creation of it in any way. The commercial was never broadcast, but rather was created by a former employee at JCPenney’s advertising agency, Saatchi & Saatchi, solely as an award submission without JCPenney’s knowledge or prior approval. JCPenney does not approve or condone its content, and we have asked Saatchi & Saatchi to apologize to our customers and our Associates for misrepresenting our Company in this manner.
