And now a break from
A provocative (!) ad has been making the internet/YouTube rounds over the past 48 hours. In the purported ad for staid department store J.C. Penney, two teenagers get undressed and then time themselves as they quickly put their clothes back on. The ad ends as the teen boy and girl walk past mom on the way to the basement to "watch TV" and the words "Today's the day to get away with it" appear on the screen. We clever viewers realize that mom is being duped--that the young Lotharios are actually heading downstairs for a roll in the hay. Aren't we smart?
Turns out the ad wasn't actually an ad for J.C. Penny at all, according to a story in today's Wall Street Journal. The "Speed Dressing" ad, according to the WSJ report, was created without J.C. Penney's knowledge or consent.
This is pretty disturbing. Hopefull it is not real. A few people have been talking about Baby Borrowers, I think the show is a good idea and will most likely have a good message.
