A Texas mattress company that was condemned for airing a commercial promoting its “Twin Tower Sale” will be “closed indefinitely,” its owner said Friday.
Miracle Mattress promised to “be silent” through Sunday’s 9/11 anniversary and reiterated its apology to people offended by its commercial that featured a pair of employees toppling two towers of mattresses, according to a statement issued by the company’s owner, Mike Bonanno.
“We take full responsibility for our actions and sincerely regret the hurt and pain caused by this disrespectful advertising campaign,” Bonanno said.
The 20-second commercial shows three employees enthusiastically offering any size mattress for the price of a twin-size one. “What better way to remember 9/11 than with a Twin Tower sale?” a woman says. Two men then fall over backwards, knocking over two towers of mattresses. “We’ll never forget,” the woman says.
The ad prompted widespread anger and calls for the business to close permanently.

Owned by a Muslim is my guess.
Look at the guys behind her https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCjYoBLXjF0 Nothing funny than two bearded, swarthy guys knocking down the WTC. Someone was trying to be offensive.
Wait a second. Did the owners know about it? If it was just idiot workers, why does he have to lose his business? I HATE THIS ABOUT AMERICA.
Exactly why 9/11 should NEVER be a holiday.
They were stupid, but what is interesting is I am seeing this story everywhere and people acting all outraged yet I don’t see the same outrage over the story today that Obama gave $33 billion to Iran.
They deserve everything they’re getting. How disrespectful can you get for a few bucks?
You disrespect an event, you lose your business, you disrespect the flag... OH WELL..
Never heard of the Bonanno family? They are Italian.
Someone needs to topple the fat beotch in the commercial.
That is making me absolutely crazy. I cannot believe it.
I just can’t. I cannot even comprehend it, if true. 33 billion dollars? 33 billion?
This makes me sick to my stomach.
“We are not hate, we are love, we are somebody that stands out, we are miracle mattress, we make miracles happen. And for our lives to be in danger that is not what we ever wanted,” said Miracle Mattress owner Cherise Bonanno.
Cherise Bonanno says she didn’t realize the 20 second ad would cause the controversy it has. http://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/mattress-twin-tower-sale-commercial-sparks-national-outrage
He’s an Islamic agent, that’s the bottom line. Democrats put him into office not once but twice and during time of war. He is now actively financing terrorism via Iran.
Well your guess is wrong.......
It was a commercial in bad taste but definitely not worth the backlash it received ...........
In years back it would have just been a local event. But thanks to the internet and the subsequent MSM coverage, he's now become an national pariah.......
The owner of the establishment has apologized profusely. What do you want next Vet, the sacrifice of his next born?
There's more things in this world to get upset about............people need to get a life. Sheesh!
Wow....... I’m stunned.
As a side note, have you read that the San Francisco 49’s have agreed to cancel their upcoming game on Sunday, 9/11 due to the actions of Colin Kaepernick?
Yup. Well, part of it. But why everything has to be turned into some kind of holiday is beyond me, regardless.
Isn’t this a small business? Local?
If you’re the owner of such, you pretty much control everything that happens, directly. I seriously doubt such a local owner would have no idea about the local ad campaign.
Dunbass B!%^!
I could SLAP her stupid face!
There are Italians who are muslim.
