Flutie Flakes Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 good publicity. I bet none of their other commercials received this much attention You think so? Latest news reports make it sound like they are now in damage control mode and may close their doors for good. I always have thought that Memorial Day sales were in extremely poor taste, but this commercial takes the cake. Not to mention the announcers stupid smirk as she says "never forget".

I don't get this one. What's wrong with it? So t-shirts or posters that depict the twin towers as they were are offensive? Am I missing something in this pic?

MDH Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I laughed at the mattress add. Not because the content was funny in any shape, way or form, but because it - somehow, still - always amazes me how stupid people can be. How can one live in this country and not realize that this commercial would go over really, really poorly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't get is the reaction to the Walmart display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flutie Flakes Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I agree 100% on the commercial. What I don't get is the reaction to the Walmart display. I think that some people were upset that Walmart was using cans of soda for marketing purposes to portray the twin towers. Didn't bother me either, but they may have been better off simply displaying the cans of soda in the shape of an American flag with the sign above and leave the towers out.

No different then selling T-shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
