Eugene Debs says hello.

 

Upgraded your bible glasses to bible bifocals I see

I guess that helps your myopia?

nothing means anything unless we all bow to christ? or was it yahweh? or allah?
in all cases you're playing the card of the powerless victim. Again. Still.
blaming everything on others not bowing enough or to the right diety?
not ever wondering why you never draw higher than a pair in the game of life
enjoy the Kool-Aid bubba

 

Have you guys heard about the small Texas mattress store that ran a promotional ad with two stacks of mattresses that were knocked over titled the "Twin Towers Mattress Sale"? It's cheesy. but no worse 1000 others we get fed 24/7.

America's sphincter has clenched and we've mega shamed and scolded that retailer that they would dare so much as say anything using this 'national treasure' "Twin Tower" phrase ever again that they are now being compelled to close indefinitely. 15 years after the event.


Texas mattress store that ran Sept. 11-themed ‘Twin Tower sale’ ad closed indefinitely

The Texas mattress store that tried to make light of Sept. 11 in a “Twin Tower sale” commercial will close indefinitely, its owner said Friday.

The spot for Miracle Mattress in San Antonio showed two stacks of mattresses, one with an American flag on top, falling down in a spoof of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people 15 years ago.

“We’ll never forget,” the store’s manager said in the ad.

The store’s owner, Mike Bonanno, apologized for the “tasteless” commercial Thursday. In a statement posted to the store’s front doors and its Facebook page Friday, he said that it will be shuttered at least through Sunday’s 9/11 anniversary.
“We take full responsibility for our actions and sincerely regret the hurt and pain caused by this disrespectful advertising campaign,” Bonanno said.

“There is very little we can do to take away the hurt we have caused, but we can begin with silence through the Anniversary and then do our best to follow up with actions that reflect the seriousness of our mistake.”

Bonanno promised to release information next week about the company’s plans to support the 9/11 Memorial and funds for victims. He also pledged “accountability actions” for those responsible for the ad, which appeared on the store’s page before it was removed Thursday.

He added that he has seen fake social media accounts “created in an attempt to attack commenters and those expressing outrage.”

“Miracle Mattress, its ownership and its employees will not be engaging in any personal attacks or responses on any social media platform,” Bonanno said. “Any account doing so is unauthorized.”

The store’s Facebook page had received over 3,700 reviews by Friday night with an average of 1.2 stars out of 5. Many users took to the page to respond to Bonanno’s apology, with several posting pictures of loved ones they lost at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

“I was here when the world stopped turning,” one New Yorker wrote. “Witnessed it. Lived it. Lost friends and family. You have no clue what it was like here.”

“Who in their right mind would conceive of this?” another resident of the Big Apple wrote. “How any thinking person could believe this was a great way to promote a sale is beyond my scope. This is no way to boost sales, it is a great way to close a business.”

“It will be a miracle if this place sees another dollar from a customer,” another user said.

Meanwhile, a store in Canada called Mattress Miracle, posted an announcement on its Facebook page reminding users that they are a completely different store located in Brantford, Ontario.

The operators of the Canadian store said they had received word of an “unsavory advertisement” that is “causing quite an uproar.”

“We have received actual threats and slanderous reviews and wish to have it stopped,” the announcement said.

“To be clear. We are not affiliated with this company in any way, shape or form.”



#touchymuch ?

I mean really what the fuck America?


The cancer "flaming political correct" grows daily.

 

and the poor Canadian store.. LOL

always the polite Canuck taking one on the chin

 

they are free to make whatever kind of jokes they want
and i am free to shop wherever i want (at least in theory)
not outraged by it but if this was a business down the street you can bet i wouldn't buy shit from them
i don't find any humor in what took place that day and never will

 

Buddy..

If you don't want to be categorized as excessively religious and irrational
then spout less bible thumping religion
Pretty simple

No one is claiming that anything is utopia, nor that it can exist
with or without belief in magical fables
It's your chant that it can't exist without Jesus

I never said anything to the contrary
except that life is not solely the providence
of bible thumpers


Play it straight
or thump bible verses

I'm your huckleberry
whichever way you spin the yarn

 

and then this happened
sure she's fine

 

Read it "farts" at first.

 

if she does that in public i think she goes all the way down w a brown stain
oh wait i think she has diapers as well as "handlers"

 

Kaine vs. Trump.
Obey.

 

She would go up a few notches in my book if she asked Kaine to pull her finger.
