Is it like a mob front or something? it seems a pretty safe bet. i dont think they really rot on the vine so you can store the same product for a couple years, meaning that you can buy when manufacturer prices are low. And almost everybody in the western world needs them, its not like convincing people they need a new oak coffee table. oh and this is a market that amazon cant do much about because people wanna do that flop-down thing before they spend $700

I like this excuse Does anyone by for a second that anyone in a mattress store in Texas had family that died in 9/11? I hope someone calls them out on that bullshit. I live in Connecticut and work in Manhattan and have never even met anyone who knew anyone who died in 9/11. What a bunch of BS. My guess is the people in the store hate NY for some reason and thought it would be funny and they somehow forgot the internet existed when they thought no one would see their commercial outside of their community.

Considering I lack basic human empathy I may be the wrong person to form an opinion on this but honest are people this upset over it for real? The whole thing is such an over the top offensive horrible, horrible idea on every level I can't even take it seriously and I don't see how anyone could short of an actual 9/11 victim. I mean the whole thing was such a incredible set of bad ideas it is honestly more funny than offensive, if you told me it was actually a parody and not a real commercial it would even be as funny.

I'm clapping rightn ow I was married at the time, and was about to get in the shower before work when my wife told me that CNN was reporting a plane had the twin towers. I made some sarcastic remark, assuming it was a private plane and pilot error. By the time I got out of the shower it was becoming clear that it was not just some little plane that bounced off the tower. It was a very quiet day at work for the most part.

Imagine if you will, a memorial video of 9/11 on youtube, you know, with the footage of the planes, the crashes, the ruin, etc, but with added-in well-timed laughtracks.

And almost everybody in the western world needs them, its not like convincing people they need a new oak coffee table. pretty much. and also they're like used car lots and you can get really solid prices if you don't just walk in and pay sticker price. i actually just bought a new mattress from one and got a really nice "deal" (it prolly wasn't that good but it was about 1/3rd of the sticker price) on a mattress i really liked. it's also good for us truck-less people since they easily deliver and will pickup and dispose of your old poo poo for "free" which is nice.

I'm gonna be pissed if they don't honor the prices, a loving king for the price of a twin? I don't even need a new mattress but at that price how can I say no? In hindsight this will have been the best thing to have ever happened to that mattress store. Haynes, Mattress Direct, Sleepy's, Mattress Firm, The Original Mattress Factory, Serta, American Mattress, Sleep Expert, Mattress Giant, 1800Mattress, Serta, Mattress Discounters, Sleep Number, Urban Mattress, The Natural Mattress Store, iComfort, Tempur-Pedic, and god forbid we forget Mattress King, these companies would kill for this free publicity.
