A mattress store in San Antonio, Texas, is in hot water after releasing an offensive commercial for a "Twin Tower Sale" on the weekend of the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.*
The clip, which was originally uploaded to Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/miraclemattress210/) on Thursday but has since been deleted by the company, shows manager Cherise*Bonan** and two employees posed in front of two piles of mattresses stacked into towers with an American flag posted in the middle.
