Pro-Ellen ralliers surpass One Million Moms on Facebook
Safe to say Ellen DeGeneres has won this round. After conservative Christian group One Million Moms railed against J.C. Penney for hiring the lesbian talk-show host as a spokesperson, DeGeneres addressed them on her show, quipping, “Not that there’s anyone counting, but for a group that calls themselves the Million Moms, they only have 40,000 members on their page.”J.C. Penney stood by DeGeneres, and even conservative TV host Bill O’Reilly voiced his support for the comedian. Now Facebook fans have validated the retailer for sticking to their guns.
Since yesterday, a group called 1 Million People Who Support Ellen for J.C. Penney has popped up, far surpassing the support of One Million Moms’ Facebook “Likes” (now 42,634). As of press time, 1 Million People has 80,244 members and gaining. According to founder Cathie Winter Miller, the group only had 38 “Likes” yesterday, and a recent check of the group’s page showed pages upon pages of Team Ellen comments in the last 20 minutes alone.

And the "Occupy One Million Moms" movement continues. Protestors of the organization's policies continue to post on its Facebook page at a faster rate than OMM can delete the comments.
I am now wondering if J.C. Penney anticipated this when they hired Ellen. If so, they have unleashed a brilliant viral marketing campaign and a sure-fire way to revive a brand many had perceived as "dowdy."

It's like that old Farrah Faucett Fabrege commercial... I'll tell two friends and they'll tell two friends, and so on and so on... 
That was way back when we had to use the phone, snail mail or actually talk to someone. 
of all the comments i read there was not one that was supportive of their asinine, hating agenda. i'm sure there must be some there, but i didn't see one. 
The conservative nutcases must hate social media because they can't control it and their minority is obvious.
Nice!....
Bill O'Lielly defending Ellen and J.C. Penney against a bigoted group of religious zealots? What's next? Is Rick Santorum going to "unlike" Randall Terry? Is Sarah Palin going to apply to Harvard? Will Mitt Romney actually pay back taxes?
What is the world coming to?
A bigger disaster than the Teletubbies/Spongebob incident!
Turn the the store into a lesbian maker so anyone who takes their daughters there to get school clothes would suddenly walk out with a gay girl? 
Idiots!
