Worst TV commercial...no, make that worst idea, of all time. 05:49 - Sep 9 with 1883 viewsTummer_from_Texas



This really happened.

From my hometown and residence for 18 years, San Antonio, I'm truly embarrassed to admit.

Miracle Mattress didn't open their doors Thursday. Reportedly due to death threats, but likely more due to embarrassment, unless I'm giving them too much credit.

But wait!! There's more!!

The special place that makes miracles happen - miracles in the form of cheap, crappy mattresses - responds to the outrage.



But I swear, most of the women in San Antonio aren't all that overweight. That was just a really unfortunate sequence.

Be afraid of Texas, my friends. Be very afraid.

Us and Florida.

Bears out the adage that there's no such thing as bad publicity though...

A very clever woman to use such a tasteless stunt then apologise profusely afterwards to the media....

Miracle Mattress is now known world wide....will be great for future sales.

Very poor taste but job done.

Go Miracle Mattress.....

Because corporate America has no imagination and only looks at the $ coming in ! Once they saw the faux outrage and utter tasteless content then they pulled the advert.

This didn't come from a corporation. That was the owner in the commercial, which apparently only "aired" on their Facebook page. I doubt any local TV stations would have aired it.

How come they've had to close down then?

As you say, they thought that through perfectly.

They've closed "indefinitely" now.

This case doesn't really follow the PT Barnum rule about publicity. San Antonio is a deeply patriotic city with multiple air force bases and a huge army post. Safe to say this was sincere stupidity, not some brilliant attempt at notoriety.

I was talking to a friend in NY about this commercial yesterday and she said about another one where someone at a Walmart in Florida did a twin tower display with Coke Zero(ground zero).

F*cking idiots.

RB has been on San Antonio TV for at least 25 years. Usually sporting a solid pornstache. But any coincidence and/or hilarity about his name is completely over the locals' heads.
