It's worse than that. There were at least three people who probably could have said "Absolutely not" and prevented this.

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

Oh yeah, I'm buying two myself.

I didn't suspect the ending part because I figured just referencing 9/11 in the context of mattress sales was incendiary enough. But this is magical on a whole other level.

Now I'm curious what backwater retail store/car dealership attempted a Pearl Harbor-esque sale.

I'd like to see other tragedies recreated like this; a Hindenburg of Fanta, a Pearl Harbor of Surge, there's alot of meat on these bones!

a titanic replica made out of liquid corn syrup by walmart employees being tackled by a fat man who wants youtube fame might be the last video i hope to see before i die

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.

If that's the Twin Towers, doesn't that mean the people who got it taken down are Al-Qaeda? Once again, the terrorists win. :911:
