The nation was left quaking today after a Texas mattress company released an ad featuring a "9/11" sale.

It's the dawning of a new age. Finally the wounds have healed, after all these years America can wholeheartedly embrace the commercialization of this tragedy!

No they jumped the gun by at lest 6 years. They are going to go out of business.

Edit: The fact the owners look middle eastern doesn't help them either.

Good evening. Today, our fellow citizens, our way of sleeping, our very naps came under attack in a series of deliberate and uncomfortable matresses. The victims were in Caspers, or in Sertas. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of matress terror.

If I saw this irl I would dive into it. I don't see how anyone could restrain themselves from diving into it. Like, even a wall of soda with no back I'd kool-aid man that poo poo. But in the shape of towers and a flag? It just seems too good to pass up.

edit: Maybe I could restrain myself, but I definitely couldn't if I were with someone who encouraged me and said they'd record it.

when i was a kid i used to play with those little green plastic army men, i recreated the monument of the soldiers raising that flag on the hill on a fire ant pile.

fire ants crawled all over the army men biting and stinging them. then i poured gasoline on them and set them on fire.

it was a very fitting and respectful tribute to our troops.

I've just never seen a display like that before in MA. Usually they're stacked up against the end of an aisle and there's a hard back to it so if you tried to dive you'd eat wall.

At most it'd be a few hundred dollars worth of damage. Totally worth it.

My eyes very slowly grew very wide over the duration of this ad. This...seems like a joke that was never supposed to actually be aired.

It's not dark enough to be funny. It feels hackneyed from the start, and quickly descends into something approaching, but never quite reaching, satire.

It's bad.

But you got to admit, a king sized mattress for twin price is a pretty good deal!
