JCPenny has done one of two things for John Hughes fans, either they've brought back a great memory and provided a chuckle or they've killed a piece of their youth. Results may vary.

The new ad for JCP features a bunch of teens recreating some of the more memorable scenes from Hughes' classic movie The Breakfast Club. We LOVE The Breakfast Club so we feel very strongly that we should hate this commercial, but as embarrassing as it is for us to admit- we don't.

I have always thought great things about the city of New Orleans. What's not to love about the birthplace of jazz? I also loved "Interview With a Vampire." Granted, I've never been there, but that's because it looks too hot and sticky, and not in a good way. Plus, my wife won't let me go to Mardi Gras.

That said, the weather apparently makes for a thriving t-shirt market and the guys at Dirty Coast are printing a pretty strong impression upon it. Their shirts convey a sense of history, humor, and politics that will be instantly recognizable to the locals and a great conversation starter for those of us that aren't (some research may be required). They make every shirt to order on American Apparel and use only lead-free ink, which is nice, but I still wouldn't eat them.

Well, maybe the donut one.
