Commercial is pretty bad.
But taking a video with a cell phone of a YouTube video and posting that phone video on YouTube is pretty sad too.
Nothing good at either end.

I'm not going to lie I chuckled a bit. I guess my opinion on the matter is different from others.

Ya,I don't see it. People jumped to their deaths from those towers. But threads are about giving opinions so thanks for giving yours.

I saw the commercial right on the verge of falling asleep, today I saw the backlash in the news and thought I was still sleeping like that movie Inception. Mattresses should pretty much sell themselves, not sure why you'd wanta get infamous over selling bedding.

To some small extent I can understand this, if it were any other day absolutely not tied to this event in history, it would be a cute commercial. Her knocking the two down with her arms and them falling back into a pile of mattresses in the most cartoony way possible. But since this is about that day, and the mattresses clearly being set up to look like the twin towers, and her response at the end, it just makes a joke of an event that killed thousands of people. I can completely understand why people would be really upset with this video.

I mean yeah it was tasteless, but such is life. I don't have the whole sacred cow view of 9/11 as a lot of others. Sure it was terrible when it happened but that was fifteen years, time to move on.

I mean, would you take that same stance with the holocaust?

People lost their lives that day, we should honor them and not make a joke of the incident that cost them their lives. If you had lost your mother or father during that day youd probly be pretty upset too.

We flew to KC on one of the very first flights allowed to go right after that, and I will never forget what my dingbat of a step-mother said when they showed some things about that day on TV. "Oh, are they STILL going on about THAT?"

I doubt I said five words to her for the rest of my visit. She really is an idiot, but that was way beyond her usual stupidity.

Not to sound self righteous here but many people cant move on. Loved ones and friends were lost that day. To make fun of that is tacky,tasteless and lacks empathy. And lately Ive seen empathy lacking greatly. When I think of those jumping to their deaths rather than being burned alive,when I see the photo of the man falling, I cannot move on. It breaks my heart anew every year. Its like the Holocaust,so horrific you remember,you honor. If we dont the next generations will not know the lives lost and sacrifices made. JMO

I know it doesn't matter a bit to you, Nautilus, but my opinion of you just hit an all-time low.

I mean that's fine. If having differing opinions is that important to you. Sure it was a tragedy but eventually people should quit harping on it and bringing it up every five days. Sure remember it but don't idolize it. I guarantee you if you look hard enough you'll find people saying e nfl playing games on 9/11 this year is somehow disrespectful.

Naw, just refusing to stand for the national anthem on a day the rest of the country is in memorial for both 9/11 and Benghazi. But thats another issue that burns my biscuits.

The only people I'm mad at is the ones involved in the 9/11 attacks.

I completely agree with you! It's been almost 20 years (in another 5) and it's been used as an excuse for so many things like increased security/police state/spying....it's getting old and really is time to move on....afterall nobody is screaming after the okc in 1996 and people lost lives there also maybe not as many but just still as important....I agree 9/11 is being idolized and it's time to stop it...yes it was a tragic event but you can't get stuck in life/history you got to move on...

I think Hillary said the same thing about Ben Ghazi. "That's in the past. What does it matter anymore?"

I don't think that those who died would want or expect us to allow these events to vastly affect our lives, already it does in so many ways. I think it should be marked annually and the dead should be remembered and respected always. When we choose to erase such events from our minds we are in danger of forgetting it and therefore to be off our guard.

Some groups are already in denial of the atrocities that happened during WWII and also WWI. Some political organisations would love nothing more than for us to forget what the Nazi's did. It should never be forgotten.

Sorry I totally disagree. What about Flanders Fields? The Tomb of the Unknown Solider, the Holocaust? The are memorials,there are days that need to be observed and respected. This generation needs to learn empathy. Whats one day out of the year to remember tragedy? Its nothing. Remember the fallen. Its not difficult. If it was your family member that had died in such a horrific way you would want people to remember.
