Really? Bill Donohue is dictating Delta's advertising policy? Lovely. While my opportunities to fly Delta (one of my least favorite big airlines) are rare, I'll make a point not to take advantage of them in the future.

A little hint, Delta… there are a hell of a lot more people who watch The Daily Show than who follow Bill Donohue.
But … but … he has stationary! With a big official-looking logo!
I think executives don't check things out as well as they pretend. All they had to do is go out on the street and ask ten people if they've heard of each person.
Of course, that assumes that the decision was made solely on (faulty) economic grounds.
Well, what a classy airline.
Penneys is being subjected to another attack by One Million Moms, about a recent ad with more than one lesbian, with kids even!
I think the current management there is getting better.
@Marina – Penney’s first came under targeting based on Ellen DeGeneris being selected as a commercial spokesperson as A DELIBERATE SLAP IN THE FACE OF GODLY WOMEN. That their catalog / ads show lesbians with happy families is only FURTHER PROOF OF THEIR ANTI-CHRISTIAN, ANTI-GOD, ANTI-AMERICAN PERFIDY!
Ah, yes, the “if you include anyone else, you’re against us” routine. Gets old fast.
Then again, I’m not a “Godly” woman, am I?
I was accosted by a woman coming out of the store I was entering who seems to think that there is a dearth of “real Americans” around here. As I turned away, not wanting to be subjected to a rant, she said “It’s nice to find a Christian American”. I’m not sure why I was so forceful in my tone of reply, but I said, “I am not a Christian”.
She wanted to know what I was then, and I said, You don’t want to know. That’s because I was short on time before the store closed and didn’t want to be harrangued. I’m also tired of assumptions that if I speak English, I must be Christian…and maybe even conservative (unless I’m wearing my bright tie-dyes).
