Sigh. Figures. Nothing works when I invoke Dallas.
"Never mind."

This was discussed here on some Threads all day yesterday including the Company Owner’s Public Apology. Just sayin’.
I just saw this and my jaw hit the floor. Who in their right mind could even remotely think this was OK? Lots of folks will be doing some major CYA.
What a bunch of retarded idiots! I can’t even believed what I saw. Miracle Mattress. What’s next—a Pearl Harbor Day special? Alamo Special? Yeah, it will be a miracle they’re not burned out of business.
I lived in Dallas for awhile. There’s something wrong there. This ad sums it up. IMHO.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all. But it was a very well written and sincere apology, taking full responsibility for his idiot employees who I believe will be unemployed very soon.
You’d think it was Austin
It took place in San Antonio, btw.
seems that people are more wee-weed up over a bad advert than by the real event...
They are getting a lot of publicity. I didn’t notice the company name or where they are located though.
Even stupid can get you some publicity I suppose.
I watched it. I wonder if those people in the commercial are muslims or whether muslims had anything to do with it. I can see how some muslims would find a 9/11 commercial like that to be funny.
If we give up our relentless pursuit of consumerism, the terrorists win.
Sigh. Figures. Nothing works when I invoke Dallas.
"Never mind."
There’s a man on the street pollster asking people what 9-11 signifies. The ignorance is appalling. We as a society are already forgetting what was done to us that day.
This awful ad is only a symptom.
Happens to me all the time.
I’m going to be perfectly frank. Yes, it was in poor taste, Yes, they should not have done it, but it was funny.
The risk that they might make only 10% of the people laugh,
and piss off 90% apparently didn’t cross their minds, and it should have. It was a bad choice to make. This was like an amateur performance done at a Frat party where most the audience is already half drunk.
It’s way too soon to take this event so lightly as a slapstick advertising gimmick. They may have people wondering; “Aren’t you guys Middle Eastern anyway? So are you openly laughing at our tragedy now? Is that what’s going on?”
What a fat slob.
Whatever you do, please don’t stop invoking Dallas.
If Garland is the perineum of Texas, what does that make Dallas?
