- whatsrequired, on 06/25/2008, -6/+895Removed from the internet...good luck with that.
- Omek, on 06/25/2008, -5/+495*gasp* not sex!
- GrandmasterB, on 06/25/2008, -2/+492I'm not entirely sure what the commercial has to do with JC Penney, but it's definitely creative.
- fakekevinrose, on 06/25/2008, -6/+466you don't need to take off all your cloths for a discrete *****, a simple pulling down of the pants will do.
work smarter not harder. - chanop, on 06/25/2008, -14/+385They don't want this out there because there's an emo kid in it. JC Penny doesn't want to send out the impression that it's ok to be emo
- ieatpizza, on 06/25/2008, -0/+329LOL I GET IT THEYRE GOING TO HAVE A RACE
- MattFid, on 06/25/2008, -4/+316I am appalled that JC Penney would promote such promiscuous wearing of jeans.
- InfamousAtheist, on 06/25/2008, -2/+241There's some speculation that JC Penney is attempting to use the Streisand Effect to it's advantage.
Here's how it works:
1. Video company doesn't want on the internet makes it to the internet.
2. Company freaks out.
3. Freakout draws lots of attention, creating free advertising or hilarious criticism... good or bad publicity either way.
There are rumors (post on www.techdirt.com) that Penney is aware of this and actually told the ad firm to release the video - now Penney is "pissed" about it, and is taking down videos, but they know that's really impossible to do and are reaping the benefits of the publicity. - Remmiz, on 06/25/2008, -0/+232Mini-skirts are god's gift to men.
- Shabow, on 06/25/2008, -4/+214She probably met the guy on myspace.

The advertising side of JC Penney is getting exactly what it wanted... this posting/discussion.
You thought about JC Penney today. I know I didn't think about them yesterday. - MattB123, on 06/25/2008, -0/+164Yeah, if only it was something wholesome like violence...
- markbrown, on 06/25/2008, -8/+163This is probably one of the most clever ads I've ever seen.
Wrap it before you tap it. - DrDigg, on 06/25/2008, -0/+153Most men look awful in a mini-skirt...oh wait I get it, nevermind.
- dnields, on 06/25/2008, -0/+138"But it's the content that has JC Penney calling to have the video "removed from the Internet," "
And by "removed from the Internet", JC Penny really means... "please, please, please watch the HELL out of this video. Watch it over and over. We love the fact that we are getting so much attention from this. Yeah, we know that we said we don't want you to watch it and that we want it off the Internet... but we know that by saying that, it will just make you want to watch it even more... so go ahead... watch it.... PLEASE" - shutaro, on 06/25/2008, -1/+138Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
- MattB123, on 06/25/2008, -3/+129JC Penny is still around?
- landmonster, on 06/25/2008, -5/+126What are they so worried about? The minute they go downstairs the mother's going to be sucking off the next door neighbour.
- Bmarofsky, on 06/25/2008, -6/+126step 1: make commercial
step 2: "leak" propaganda calling it controversial even if its not
step 3: ???
step 4: profit - bpoteat, on 06/25/2008, -0/+98Scotland never got the memo.

Myspace. In the butt. - GlennRubenstein, on 06/25/2008, -3/+81JC Penney claims that it was someone at their advertising agency (or a production company who worked on the agency's pitch) that submitted the ad for consideration at Cannes. The video itself is clever, but I can see the position it puts JC Penney in if they never approved of releasing the ad.
- inactive, on 06/25/2008, -1/+79no, they're just going to watch some tv.
- gali, on 06/25/2008, -0/+76I like it when you say "discrete *****".
- edstate, on 06/25/2008, -2/+71I totally agree w/ you.. I really have no Earthly idea what this has to do w/ JCPenney or their products. It just seems like an "edgy" commercial for the sake of doing an "edgy commercial".
Sure, there's a bit of a "humanism" there, but there is no link whatsoever to the brand. Even if JCP was a lot hipper... still no connection. - Belldanime, on 06/25/2008, -0/+69Mirror: http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/speed% ...
- Harabeck, on 06/25/2008, -1/+68We also dont want to spread the message that its ok for emo kids to procreate.
- sonicularulus, on 06/25/2008, -1/+69wheres part II of the video?
- samthurston, on 06/25/2008, -0/+59Are you kidding? emo dudes spend tons of money on clothes, and makeup too!
- aliengoods, on 06/25/2008, -0/+58This is the best of both worlds for JC Penney. They get to claim they never wanted the video released, get millions of page views, all the while getting millions in free advertising.
- bbqsalad, on 06/25/2008, -2/+58Well I for one, am HIGHLY offended. I think I will sue.
- gbjxc, on 06/25/2008, -4/+59...wtf?
That was awesome. - inactive, on 06/25/2008, -1/+51First time you've seen one?
- AaronSTL, on 06/25/2008, -0/+50Best way to get young people shopping at JC Penney, a store for old people? Make this video. Don't worry, the people who will be offended are old and will never see it on the intertubes.
Best way to keep old people shopping at JC Penney, after they see this video which promotes teen sex? Pretend to be pissed about it.
Playing both sides? Maybe JC Penney should run for president. - inactive, on 06/25/2008, -2/+52hmm walking in a mall, what store should go into, hmm let`s see what store reminds me of having sex, oh JC Penny is having sale lets go in
- themadrammer, on 08/18/2009, -4/+54Like parents care anymore if their teenagers are having sex at home. Pfft
- Thrilltone, on 06/25/2008, -3/+52I once cut the crotch seam out of a pair of my girlfriend's jeans, after her Father got edgy about us being alone in her room.
It worked. - shadeOfGrey, on 06/25/2008, -0/+47Maybe yours is. I've got a lot of in between.
- DrDigg, on 06/25/2008, -0/+46rent juno
- gannondork, on 06/25/2008, -0/+43hopefully this commercial doesn't come on whilst they are watching it, they could be offended.
- TotalDouche, on 06/25/2008, -2/+45I don't get it. I shop at JC Penney because their clothes are so easy to put on and take off. What's the big deal?
- inactive, on 06/25/2008, -1/+41haha does any one go to the basement not to have sex?
- inactive, on 06/25/2008, -1/+39Doesn't it bum you out though that the emo kid is gearing up to ***** and since you're a digger....well, you're not?
- gannondork, on 06/25/2008, -2/+39i suggest to jc penney to phone Tom Cruise and ask him how he got his video removed, cause his methods work well.
- imightbewrong, on 06/25/2008, -1/+38*Spoilers* shopping at JC Penney will not get you laid
- bbqsalad, on 06/25/2008, -0/+35I suddenly want some new pants... And to sample some different perfumes.
- gbjxc, on 06/25/2008, -0/+32Her father wasn't edgy about the crotchless jeans?
- jxc1, on 06/25/2008, -0/+32This made a lot more sense once I realized there were two separate kids in it.
- Monkiest, on 06/25/2008, -0/+31Everyone knows that underwear is the most time consuming garment to put on. Therefore the timed practices were pointless, unless they were planning to ***** in their underwear.
