I have a gallows/morbid humor. I laughed when the lady said “we’ll never forget” at the very end.

I don’t believe that for a minute.

How many people does it take to make a video like this? It’s more than just the three people in the video. You’re telling me not ONE thought this was a bad idea?

I listen to the way she says “We will never forget”.

That store can burn.

1. That commercial was tasteless and repulsive.

2. Regardless, I don't want her anywhere near any mattress I buy.

Do you really believe that workers would do a commercial for their owner’s business?

Really?

All this melodramatic hyperventilating tells me there is actually very little sincere sentiment about 9/11.

The woman in it was the owner’s daughter who manages that store.

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.

Difference of scale. The mattress ad is human scale, and is getting a human response. The betrayal by Obama is so gigantic it's dumbfounding, and no one knows how to respond to it.

Communist tactic - as Stalin said, one death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic.

I got in on that earlier today.

The broad is the owner’s daughter, Cherise. She is the VP of media and marketing. The father apologised for the store and the chick tried to hide behind that. SHE has not apologised.

More here on the FB page if anyone cares.

And the apology was actually a real one, not the typcial “I’m sorry if you’re offended BS.”

I agree, I choose to grieve quietly and alone, more hype usually less depth.

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.

Good points. I would have been more impressed if the owner spelled out just what happened, how he knew nothing about it and that the people involved were fired or will never do business with his Company again, etc

How one recovers from an incident like this tells you a lot about their character.

Were muslims involved? That's what I want to know.
