Since the announcement that Ellen would be a new spokesperson for JCPenney, there's been an outpouring of support. There have also been a handful of critics. Ellen addressed them head-on in her monologue.

This is the second time in just five mtneius that I've seen this particular viewer being used for flickr favorites. How do I find such utility? Lovely favourites by the by.Chris T.’s last blog post..
Ellen,
Your an amazing person, who brings laughter into more homes than you will ever know. Heck, I WILL GO SHOPPING WITH YOU AT JC Penney's. For me, that would be a day I would never forget!!! Ignore them - they are just mad because they are not a household name.
Love ya Ellen!!!
Elena, shining is not only about pasefsoionrl development. I think we should strive to be better human beings and i see no problem in constantly trying to develop our ability to forgive or love, for example.
I have always shopped at JCPenney. Their personnel are friendly and helpful and now I will absolutely continue to shop there because they obviously value good people like you, Ellen. As my 70+ year-old mother says, "There's just not enough love in this world, so any time two people of any sex commit to each other, there is even more love. And that's a good thing." (By the way, I love the JCP commercials. They are entertaining and get the point across.) Two thumbs up, JCP, for sticking to your belief in Ellen as your spokesperson!
I am a christian and I was taught to treat people the way you want to be treated.We are called to love one another; love is patient, love is kind, love does not judge...in a nutshell here it is from the man upstairs himself
Judge not, that you be not judged. Matthew 7:1
Ellen,Love you and everything you stand for. Look forward to watching your show when I can. And good for JC Penney for sticking with you. Couldn't have happened to a better person! I was in our local store last week and was really impressed how much cleaner it looks without all those big red clearance signs. Hope you had something to do with that. Keep on doing what you do! Lot's of Love! Arlene
I don't think this takes a lot of thought; I love you, you are kind, generous, loving and a wonderful example of what we could be (truly, I know this sounds sappy) but you are the example I would want to set for my children if I had any. Never stop believing that there are thousands of people, not just women, who believe in your kindness, goodness and values. Love ya Ellen. I'm proud to stand with you.
Ellen-you are amazing! My family adores you!
And now, we WILL shop at JC PENNY!!
Thank you for your strength and courage Ellen!
Thank you for being who you are!!!

I am a HUGE Ellen fan, a heterosexual Christian living in the South and a born and raised Mormon. What I don't understand is in a situation like this, why is Ellen's sexuality even brought into the conversation? I may not be able to identify with that part of her life, but I was raised to love others, treat each other with kindness and to not judge. We are all different in many ways and that is something to be honored and celebrated. We need good examples in all forms and to stop passing judgement upon others who are doing good in the world. I think the message these "Million Moms" need is to spend your time lifting others up instead of trying to find ways to push them down.
Ellen you are awesome! I love all you are and do. Keep up the great work. I do shop at JC Penney and will continue to so more now.
Ellen your are the most caring person. My son and I watch your show every day. Please don't pay attention to these ladies, they only envy you. By the way JCPenney is my favorite store and happy that they have you as their spokesperson. We love you.

Ellen, first of all my ENTIRE family LOVES YOU!! I have shopped at JCPenney ever since my children were born, my oldest twins are almost 25yrs old. I shopped there before that also. I am so glad JCPenney did not bow down to this bullying. This world could use more kind hearted people like you! They picked a wonderful person when picking you and I will continue to shop there and absolutely continue to watch your show. WE LOVE YOU ELLEN!
Ellen, I have been watching you for years and my family and I all absolutely love you. I still don't quite understand how people can be so ignorant in our world. I would be proud to shop anywhere sponsored by such an amazing person!!!! Love you Ellen!

My wife and I went to walk the mall this morning to get some exercise. We did some window shopping and I decided to buy at JCP. I could buy a new wallet and shirts at 20 different places in the mall, but I chose JCPenny and I encourage everyone else to do the same.
Hello Ellen,
I think that your show is wonderful and I think that you are a wonderful person.
I cannot think of a better spokesperson for JCP and I am so glad that they stuck by you.
If they had gave into One Million Moms' ridiculous demands, I would have never shopped there again. But, because they have stood behind there choice, it will actually increase my shopping at JCP.
I happen to be a Christian, heterosexual, married, mother of 4 children ages 7 - 16 yrs., and I also think that you are an excellent role model for all families!
Keep being Ellen!! Go JCP!!
This group of "Moms" has merely shown their ignornance and narrow-mindedness by their comments about traditional values, JCPenney's clientle, and Ellen. It's sad and frightening to think that there are still people in the world who blatantly stand in judgement of others. To attempt to bully JCPenney and Ellen with their prejudicial comments diminshes their credibility even further. To think that these women are raising children in an environment of inequality, prejudice, and lack of acceptance is shameful.
Ellen's character and beliefs far outshine the attitudes of these "Moms" who say they represent traditional values when in fact Ellen is a more suitable role model in every aspect. I applaud Ellen for once again standing in her own truth and facing her detractors with grace, humility, and character.
It's interesting that "Million Moms" have 43,000 "Likes" and Ellen's Facebook page is nearing 7 million! Ironic; the "million moms" have brought more business to JCPenney's due to their outrageous protesting of Ellen as spokesperson. I will support JCP more than ever due to their courage to stand up for true American values in their choice of Ellen as their spokesperson. Do you really think Christ would be in favor of this million mom movement against Ellen? Not the Christ that I know....
I love you and your show! I just find the group absolutely ridiculous.
I must say I'm glad my MOTHER has taught me to love EVERYONE no matter what color, religion, sexual preference, education level,gender, political opinion, disability, weight, height, etc. To love and not judge. To not bully and stand up for those that cannot stand-up for themselves. As long as you respect me, I will respect you. Because differences are something to be CELEBRATED, not separate us. To get to know PEOPLE and not avoid them because they are different. I would like to say thank you to my Mom, for not being hateful and judgmental, thank you for not following one million, but being one in a million.
Thanks, Ellen, for inspiring women all over the world.

Hey- I haven't seen you in a while. I tried these when my kids were too little and they taste obhrirle, but the visual is good. They were excited to eat the cookies and were bummed when they tasted bad. Susan
