In my opinion the second apology was adequate and should be accepted.

Yeah, how about a Holocaust themed sale? Has it been long enough to do that?

Home Depot can have a sale on nails & wood for Easter. You know, just to celebrate. Nothing offensive about it (as some here would surely say).

I hate to disappoint you, but your Easter sale comment is LOL funny!! In the context of the discussion, of course (I really don't think Home Depot pursuing such a marketing strategy would be wise :-).

I am trying to get you to say “butt hole” or “colon”, but you refuse to take the bait.

I’m going to be perfectly frank. Yes, it was in poor taste, Yes, they should not have done it, but it was funny.

Was talking with some people recently about the guy who was arrested in Germany for training his dog to do a "Heil Hitler" salute. The same thing applies.

Miracle Mattress Statement

Miracle Mattress Closes Store Indefinitely in Respect of 9/11 Anniversary

September 9th, 2016

Effective immediately, our Miracle Mattress store will be closed indefinitely. We will be silent through the 9/11 Anniversary to avoid any further distractions from a day of recognition and remembrance for the victims and their families. We take full responsibility for our actions and sincerely regret the hurt and pain caused by this disrespectful advertising campaign.

Miracle Mattress will deliver a public statement next week highlighting accountability actions taken within the company. We will also describe our plans to offer support for the 9/11 Memorial and victims funds. There is very little we can do to take away the hurt we have caused, but we can begin with silence through the Anniversary and then do our best to follow up with actions that reflect the seriousness of our mistake.

On a final note: there have been several fake social media accounts created in an attempt to attack commenters and those expressing outrage. Miracle Mattress, its ownership, and its employees, will not be engaging in any personal attacks or responses on any social media platform. Any account doing so is unauthorized. Additionally, I will be the only individual making official comments or statements on behalf of Miracle Mattress.

Respectfully,

Mike Bonanno
Owner, Miracle Mattress

9/11 has turned into a parody and a long forgotten tragedy of epic proportions. 15 years after: Mideast destabilized and on fire.Iran with nukes and 33 billion gratis the Kenyan usurper.Syria, Libya,Yemen become failed states. Afghanistan Taliban controlled again and Iraq on the brink. Let’s not forget “JV” Daesh etc. But we can get a deal on a mattress. What’s the difference when we can buy a nice mattress on Memorial or Veterans day also?
