One Million Moms Threatens Toys 'R' Us With Boycott Over Archie Comics' Gay Wedding Issue

Seemingly undeterred that their heated protest of JCPenney has done little to further their cause, conservative group One Million Moms has its sights now set on Toys 'R' Us.

As Right Wing Watch and Towleroad are reporting, One Million Moms has threatened Toys 'R' Us with a boycott because the toy chain is carrying the controversial Archie comics issue featuring the wedding of Kevin Keller, an openly gay character.

<<<<snip>>>>

These comic books are sold at the front checkout counters so they are highly visible to employees, managers, customers and children. Unfortunately, children are now being exposed to same-sex marriage in a toy store. This is the last place a parent would expect to be confronted with questions from their children on topics that are too complicated for them to understand. Issues of this nature are being introduced too early and too soon, which is becoming extremely common and unnecessary.

The trip to the toy store turns into a premature discussion on sexual orientation and is completely uncalled for. Toys 'R' Us should be more responsible in the products they carry.

Maybe these Moms should do something different like pay attention to their kids instead of worrying about everyone else's kids.

1. Wish I had that kinda free time to look for shit to get pissed about

Second note: who even knew Archie comics were around?

2. Well, people on unemployment need to curtail their spending anyway

and if they can play the sanctimonious martyrs while they do that, it's all to the good.

None of the retail companies they're boycotting will feel a thing. For one thing, there are only 40,000 of these church ladies. For another, they all shop at Wal Mart, anyway.

3. And further...

I would bet JCPenney saw sales rise after they continued to support Ellen. My husband and I bought each other watches for Valentines day and bought them at Penney's. We also told the clerks who waited on us, we were giving them our business because of that support. That was $500 we probably would have spent elsewhere had the boycott not occurred.

4. Yes, I blew a little money online because I hate shopping

and Penney's got my business.
