Screaming

If children are being taught inappropriate behavior from a commercial
IYO it is time to get back to basics and turn the tube off.

you might want to check to see if your TV has a built in automatic
gain control option for the volume.

iirc it's a common feature in new tvs

a commercial....

I hate to say, but advertisers are shrewd. Even negative publicity is
still publicity and you just helped ensure that JCPenney is now
getting even more mileage out of that ad.

But on a happier note, since today is the 2nd and the "New" JCP took
effect yesterday, it isn't likely to air too many more times!

It is annoying, but so are lots of commercials and some shows.

long-term, body-wide pain and tenderness in the joints, muscles,
tendons, and other soft tissues


That includes hearing as well?

The mute button is your friend. Use it. :)

Really? What child is going to see that and think "Ohhh so mommy and
daddy are wrong and I can scream whenever I want"....?

I'd personally think they'd be more apt to learn bad behavior from
reality tv or from how their friends act

We should be the ones who are screaming, not out of anger for missing
a sale, but for allowing Penny's to violate advertising laws. A sale
that is a constant sale, is not a sale, it is regular pricing.
Structuring pricing to be 40, 50 or 70% off of "regular" pricing every
day means that the lowest price of 40% is the REGULAR price.

Michael's stores recently settle a case where their constant
advertising of 50% off of custom framing ran over two years
consecutively. $18Million is what they got for a judgment against
them as false and deceptive advertising.

This is not a sale. It is not a bargain. Companies like Bass Outlets
always inflate prices so they can offer some ridiculous 70-80% off to
sucker in the people who think they're getting a deal. Stop falling
for this and tell your Penny's manager you want them to stop the lies.

was tolerable just 1 time...i agree

while I don't love the new commercials for Penneys, I do LOVE the new
pricing strategy!! I am so excited that I had posted it on my FB
page, even before I saw the commercial. It made me decide to try them
again! I take the commercial as very tongue in cheek - people are
insane with coupons and sales!

has been passed. Advertisers will have to keep the volume of
commercials the same as that of the TV shows:

I agree. It's obnoxious and STUPID. Some ad agency has a few idiots
to fire.

I looked it up, its not too bad.

Obviously its working

you just passed the word along to everyone, and now like me I am sure
people are curious about it and will look it up.
