Fat Mexican woman in the middle of the picture. Her 2 Mexican hermanos standing slightly behind her on each side. They are both standing in front of a separate stack of mattresses. Her "What better way to remember 9/11 than the Mattress Miracle, 'Twin Tower Sale'. Right now you can get an size mattress for a twin size mattress price" Dude 1: Full Mattress? Her: Twin Price Dude 2: Queen Mattress? Her: Twin Price Dude 1&2 : King sized Mattress? Her: Twin Price!!!! Then she says, "store wide sale all day long", while flailing her arms out, and the 2 dudes screaming while falling over and knocking the mattress towers down. Her saying, "Never Forget"






It's so bad it's good. Perhaps legendary. I'd buy a mattress from there on Twin Tower Day!

My friend worked for a financial firm located in the Twin Towers. He quit his job and moved back to Missouri to enter grad school the week before the attacks.

Whenever I see him I think there's the real life version of Final Destination.

Holy hell that's bad.

Look I'm all for dark humor including 9/11 jokes, but this is on another level of fricked up. At that point it's not a joke you're making, it's the fact that you're using a national tragedy to sell some goddamn mattresses.

Am I the only one that finds the stupidity to think that this was a good idea hilarious?

I'm not even angry, I'm just purely dumbfounded. I mean, how can any properly functioning adult have so little common sense? Much less the group of people it took to make the commercial without one person saying, "wait a minute..."

Same here..just watched it for the first time tonight and I was freaking rolling as it was so over the top absurd and offensive for 9-11 victims. But damn that sh*t was funny as f*ck!
