San Antonio mattress store closes ‘indefinitely’ after parodying 9/11 in ad

[Liberal_in_LA]

The ad proposed to commemorate the deadliest attack on American soil by offering mattresses of all sizes at twin bed prices. The video featured Cherise Bonanno and two employees standing in front of two towers of stacked mattresses, ending with the mattress towers toppling over while the three screamed. The video closes with Cherise Bonanno saying in a somber tone, “we will never forget.”

5. Offensive, tasteless, just wrong, and yet

6. It's the owner's daughter in the ad. She thought it up. She's also the Marketing Director. Great

parenting, Mr. Bonnano.

8. She needs to find another line of work

Marketing just isn't her thing. I suspect that she has all be killed her Father's business who apparently was providing her a job as well.

I found the Ad to be beyond reprehensible and the creator of the Ad to be a misguided little ...........

I would want to focus on social sciences and study people's decision making processes for ideas that are doomed to failure from the absolute get go...
