Texas Mattress Store Receives Death Threats Following Twin Tower Sale Ad
September 8, 2016


A mattress store in San Antonio, Texas, is apologizing after releasing video promoting a “Twin Tower” sale ahead of the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

San Antonio Express-News reported Miracle Mattress removed the video from its Facebook page following backlash. The video showed store manager Cherise Bonanno and two employees standing in front of two piles of mattresses, symbolizing the World Trade Centers.



Bonanno apologized for the “stupid” ad.

“It was a stupid idea that we sent out and we apologized for our stupidity and we really hope you forgive us for what we have done,” she told WOAI-TV.



According to WOAI, the store was closed on Thursday due to death threats.

“We are hate, we are love. We are somebody that stands out. We are Miracle Mattress – we make miracles happen,” Bonanno told WOAI. “And for our lives to be in danger, that’s not what we ever wanted.”



The company released an apology letter on their Facebook page and said they will donate 30 percent of its sales this weekend to the 9/11 Foundation.

OMG! That was in poor taste. I'm sure they viewed the commercial before airing it. Didn't they see what everyone else saw?

Who in their right mind thought this was funny or a good idea?

DOH!

What a bunch of boneheads!

Wow! How tasteless was that? Sometimes I can't believe what I see on tv.

I first saw this on Ogrish..

Lots of strange things about 9/11 but 1 sure thing: THE OFFICIAL REPORT IS COMPLETE BS!

Terrible.

Today marks the 15th anniversary of that horrible day when our country wsd attacked by terrorists. I remember it like it was yesterday. :(

Miracle Mattress Closes "Indefinitely" Amid Backlash over 9/11 "Twin Tower Sale"

A mattress company in San Antonio has closed its doors indefinitely amid a wave of backlash over its recent “Twin Tower sale” marking the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Miracle Mattress owner Mike Bonanno apologized for an online advertisement of the sale on Thursday, saying it was produced without his knowledge by employees in San Antonio.



Mr. Bonanno’s apology wasn’t enough for many social media users. National Event Marketing announced it was boycotting the company and pulled its inflatables from the store’s rooftop.

On Friday afternoon, Miracle Mattress announced on its Facebook page that it was closing down “indefinitely.”
