J.C. Penney tweets clumsily during Super Bowl to get our attention

Is a typo a typo if you intend it to be a typo?

J.C. Penney found a way to get a little attention during the Super Bowl game when companies spend several million dollars for 30 seconds of ad time.

Two clumsily written tweets about how the Super Bowl game was moving so far were followed with a quick explanation.

The Plano-based retailer came back with the third Tweet saying “Oops.”

The mittens have to do with Penney’s February campaign to raise funds for Olympics Team USA.

Penneys used to have a good brand.. they competed well against Sears and had good quality for lower prices than the "big-boys"...but then they decided to change and they guessed wrong.
