I think that is in HORRIBLY bad taste!

It will, however, probably receive a lot more publicity for the price of the ad than a similar but non-offensive mattress ad would receive.

(I will, with huge effort, refrain from saying anything else -- at least for now.)

Horrible sense of humor. When it comes to making a profit, nothing is sacred or taboo?

And before the liberals come in an attack me for not approving of that @#$% commercial, know that I lost my younger brother when those towers came down.

The commercial sucks, as does the attitude behind the making of it.

I wouldn't say they make fun of it, but it is in very poor taste.

This commercial is definitely not politically correct.

I'm sure the people who like to pretend that they oppose political correctness are the ones who are the most outraged at this example of political incorrectness. After all, It's only political correctness when they're not the ones taking offense. When they're offended, that it's magically not political correctness anymore.

It must be nice to live in a world where the definitions of offense revolves entirely around you...

Oh no, they made fun of it. Big time. And "We'll never forget" even sounded mocking or at best, half hearted.

I can not believe people...

I think that woman needs to searched as it looks like she's trying to smuggle mattreses out the store in her clothing.

I don't typically get bothered by stupid things like this but this was very distasteful. It's insulting to those who lost their lives that day, insulting to their families, including extended families, and friends. It's insulting to those who lost their co-workers. It's insulting to anyone who was affected and/or traumatized by that day...and that's real "traumatization", not the horse crap "trauma" that SJWs are always whining about ruining the word.

I hope no one buys a mattress from these insensitive fools.
