Great Moments in Marketing [Weirddave]

Ace kinda stole my thunder by posting on this yesterday (that's why he's the boss), but my take is a little different, so I thought I'd toss this up as a placeholder open thread to tide y'all over until the ONT.

So someone thought this was a good idea:

I'm honestly not surprised. 9-11 was 15 years ago. You have plenty of young adults in the working world for whom 9-11 might as well be the sinking of the Maine. They were either too young to really absorb what happened, or maybe they were shielded by well meaning parents or other adults. Then they went through a decade or more of Marxist/Prog indoctrination in the education system, being told that 9-11 was due to US Imperialism. Naturally, when they get into the workplace, they view 9-11 the same way they view Arbor Day, a not-very-important excuse for a holiday. Why not come up with a promotion to increase sales, and if it can be humorous at the same time, so much the better. What really amazes me is that anyone is surprised by any of this.

A similar Pearl Harbor themed sale would have been unthinkable in 1956. Why? Because students between 1941-1956 were taught American values and actual history. Now they are taught that traditional American values are evil and a “history” that never happened. This is the cost of losing the fight for the institutions, a fight most people didn't even realize was happening until it was all but over. Expect more of this in the future. Much more.

One final thought. Even granting the most innocent of intentions from the producers of the ad (I'm not claiming that, but I'm granting it for purpose of discussion), this is the kind of thing that will likely drive that mattress company out of business. The owner has issued what seems to be a sincere and heartfelt apology, but would you but a mattress there after this? I wouldn't. And yes, it's his fault for not exercising proper over site of his marketing department, but still, how many jobs will be lost, how many families harmed, how much hard work wasted, all because some indoctrinated fool had no idea that the values inculcated in him/her were abhorrent to most Americans?

25 Srsly, I agree that the Sunni Muslim Sucker Punch needs to be better taught. I'd say the same about Vietnam.

Nixon as of 1972 got South Vietnam to a state where (if supplied with ordnance) it could - and did - whoop the North's ass in a straight-up fight... and it would have to be a straight-up fight, because the Viet Cong had been whooped four years before that.

I am no Nixon fan, but he did phenomenal work in Vietnam. So did the US (and Aussie IIRC) soldiers there. This should also be widely disseminated around the Asian communities, that the US fought on their behalf and were betrayed by the 1970s generation of Democrats.

26 Our son was one of thousands of young men and women who watched the towers fall (he was in middle school) who vowed to fight and kill the bastards who attacked us.

It would be nice if, instead of the long annual reading of the names of those who died in the Towers, Pentagon, and PA, the families would read the names of those thousands who have died fighting those Islamists who attacked us.

28 That ad was just stupid. I really didn't find it offensive. Just dumb and tasteless. What I do find highly offensive is having elected an 84 IQ, America-hating, Indonesian muzzie to the Oval Office (that he's not even eligible to occupy). Now, THAT was truly offensive, as as dangerous and nasty as all get-out. This mattress ad ... just a bunch of idiots - though I would give great odds that they were all Barky voters.

34 The dark side of the process of commemoration: If they put up a statue of you, sooner or later pigeons will shit on it, bums bathe in the fountain, and statutory rapes take place in its shadow. If they name a street, bridge, or housing project after you (don't laugh; my next-door Fair City did that for its most famous civic leaders), your name will be used as a curse as they deteriorate. A holiday? Best you can hope for is white sales, or a bad comic doing impressions to sell Kias.

It's enough to make you not even want to be famous.

And since then they've been free to attack anyone they want, at will, and with each attack people in the West just bend over even more for them.

His problem is that Obama isn't running in the next election. His other problem is that the claim that Iraq was "stable" after 2009 is... I'm not going to say "bullsh!t", but at least very misleading. Iraq was metastable, like a funnel balanced on the straw side. Iraq didn't take much of a push to make it totter.

70 I like this take better than ace's mainly because I'm sick to death of having to be OUTRAGED over everything.

Do I think it's in poor taste? Yes
Would I buy a mattress there? I'd probably think twice, esp. given that there are mattress stores on every fucking corner these days. But if it were a major inconvenience, I'd probably still buy there and let them know what I thought of the ad.

Do I care if other people are outraged? Hell, no.

I don't mind if people are outraged and want to express that outrage. What bothers me these days is that everyone seems to want to compel everyone else to feel exactly what he's feeling and express that at an equal or greater level. Sorry, but that's the real fascism.

Revisionist history. It was relatively stable and Iran was teetering. I'd gladly occupy Iraq for 100 years if it meant that the Green Revolution succeed and a pro western government took power in Iran. No ISIS, no Syria, no "refugee crisis" no Charlie Hebdo, no gay nightclub shooting, no a lot of things that have been horrible for the last 7 years. Oh, yea, it would also mean that the coming war with Islam never occurs, at least not in the foreseeable future.

Occupy for 100 years? In a heartbeat. No different than Korea or postwar Japan and Germany.

88 Consequences.

Actions have consequences. It seems like most kids have grown up without them- the forced "I'm sorry" at daycare or the playground when they did something officious, not really understanding what "I'm sorry" means, but saying it because Mommy won't get me a Happy Meal later if I don't.

Because of this, I think, non-apologies are accepted as sincere by those foul types that say something reprehensible, but don't want the consequences for their vile spewings. (Basket of deplorables?)

So, if this mattress shop goes out of business, that is just too bad. But it is a consequence of stupidity, and complete disregard for appropriate behavior. I think more people need some of that. Like the 49's, for instance.

The owner should have seen this and nixed it completely.

For that it's worth, my guess is that it's a small firm, and someone had the brilliant idea of hiring inexperienced millennials to do something "fun" and perhaps "edgy."

They got this, and the millennials, who probably have zero real life experience, convinced those in power that this is ok. Maybe they wanted to bring in younger people into the store; who knows what was on their mind.

It's a big fail, and they deserve it. When you sign off on projects you get what you pay for.

117 Why would anyone want to watch a football game at Bristol? I mean a race ok, but to be up in the nosebleeds of the stands the players have to be impossible to see.
Posted by: buzzion at September 10, 2016 08:46 PM (bMG0w)

I'm with you on this. A little while ago, they showed a view from the end zone seats. You couldn't see the players. They looked like ants.

This entire spectacle was dreamed up by the owners of Bristol. They have spent untold amounts of money to have the infield converted to a football field. All so that TN and VT can claim to have the largest crowd ever at a football game.

While that makes me smile as I watch another record held dear by the evil Wolverines fall to the wayside, the actual football fan in attendance at Bristol is basically watching a game they are personally attending, on a giant tron. What fun.

As a lifelong Nascar fan, I can tell you that the owners of the Nascar tracks are desperately trying to bring in enough revenue at their tracks now to pay the mortgage. And since it is no longer happening with races, they are turning to utilizing the tracks they overbuilt for everything else they can come up with to bring in gate money.

I was at MIS two weeks ago for the August Nascar race and even with MIS having removed over 50% of the stands they had built during Nascar's peak, there were still many empty seats. Bristol three weeks ago had rain coming in the weather forecast, but it was shocking that half of the stands were empty. There are more people there tonight for this football game than attended the night race. It used to be you couldn't hardly scalp tickets for a Bristol race.

So...the owners are turning to other events and trying to make it work.

MIS hosts a huge four day country music festival in June, and hosts wine fests, carnivals, etc. in addition to Mudder competitions, etc.

This thing at Bristol is supposed to now be an annual event for football. We'll see. My guess is a lot of people came for this one, but won't come back.

Son came by this evening and said she's doing well on all the meds she's on. Husband and I are covering the cost, since son is a full-time student (and the VA STILL hasn't sent his check to cover his stipend).

She's very high-energy, and it's going to be tough to keep her indoors and "calm" for the next few months.

Our cat Spanky is slowly recovering from her severe allergic reaction to her thyroid med she's now allergic to. Getting both cats slowly adjusted to prescription thyroid cat food over the next couple of weeks, and hoping Spanky doesn't develop diabetes again.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I have a friend who was a retired Army Major (combat veteran of Desert Storm in 1991), who was called out of inactive reserve to serve a year as a staff officer in the Green Zone. Spent a year choppering around Iraq in a Blackhawk (will not read the book or see the movie "Blackhawk Down"), who thought it would be at least a generation (+20 years) before Iraq might start to become stable. A whole new generation of people, born after the end of the days of Republic of Fear of Saddam, to fix Iraq.
Would it have been worth it to stay, and try to get them stable?

Weirddave, I think you hit the nail on the head. A whole lot of bad things are going to cascade back on us from leaving early. I would not doubt we will end up going back there with a lot of military within 5 years.
Tragic for everyone involved, no doubt about that.

157 Jeebus, against long-standing policy to even comment on such comments, but BTH, no, not even close. And you are, without a doubt, one of the most knowledgeable and even scholarly people here, on things Middle Eastern.


The "occupation" of Iraq ended in 2005 (return of sovereignty) - waaaaayyy too early, disastrously so. Oh, semantic, you say? Yeah, kinda, for several years, as we still obviously carried the security burden and called the big shots.


But the narrow point at issue is 2009. Iraq *was* not even close to being a funnel on the small end, at that time. Our "occupation" was truly long over, our presence was a 1/10 or less of its peak, our role was to support (and, unwritten, to serve as a guarantor of non-idiocy by the locals).


In which role we were not taking casualties. Thanks to General Order No. 1, I'd guess that non-combat fatalities/injuries in Iraq in 2009 were averaging below what we have in Okinawa, or Germany, or Italy. And we had no combat casualties (I believe). The "war" was long won, and over.


This is not even a close call, and it's not trivial, it's literally the most morally and strategically important aspect. We (collectively) threw away every bit of effort and sacrifice in Iraq. It's as despicable a failure as Vietnam - and even less excusable.


Preserving our interests in Iraq as of 2009 would have required a tiny effort that wouldn't even be measurable against even one year's effort in Europe from '48-'68 or so. An easily maintainable situation greatly in our interests was just thrown away - by the absurd idiot children given power by the American electorate, in its degradation.

Posted by: Lincolntf at September 10, 2016 09:12 PM (2cS/G)

The locking arms is certainly showing solidarity with BLM. There is a way to show support of the flag it's been around for as long as I can remember.

If they want to chicken shit their way out of it, that's their business.

164 You do it like they did in the 90s. Reinstate all of the work requirements for welfare. Cut regulations by 25% in every federal regulatory agency. That will ignite an economic boom to absorb the people coming off welfare. Enforce existing immigration law, including the H1bf "no domestic workers available" provision that's ignored.

It's not that hard, it's just that nobody has the balls to do it. Do it that way and they'll be little or no civil unrest.

165 If this stupid store goes out of business, it will not just be because of this commercial. Any business stupid enough to think this was a great commercial and an appropriate one to sell mattresses is doing lots of other idiotic things too.

It looks like one of those small shopping strip stores that put big blow up characters outside in the parking lot to catch attention and are always having a clearance sale, "everything must go" every day of the year. These are likely his kids, who work for dad because they can't get a job anywhere else since they have no other skills. And likely live with him too.

I think we are seeing natural selection at work here.

Next spring, there will be a Goodwill store in it's place, sadly.

172 I don't worry that the NFL players hate America. There are going to be bad apples in any organisation. The black players there are probably more conservative than most American blacks (picking on them because the whole refusal to stand comes out of BLM).

I am concerned with the NFL franchise owners, and with Roger Goodell, for coddling those bad applies. "Insidious bad apples" if you like. (I said it so y'all don't have to :^P)

It's the NFL that takes the money and it's the NFL I want to punish, not JJ Watt or Von Miller or etc etc.

How cute you are to think that way.

Posted by: Country Boy at September 10, 2016 09:43 PM (HzPuJ)

242 Here's what's happened, from The Weight of Glory:

"If you asked twenty good men today what they thought the highest of the virtues, nineteen of them would reply, Unselfishness. But if you had asked almost any of the great Christians of old, he would have replied, Love. You see what has happened? A negative term has been substituted for a positive, and this is of more than philological importance. The negative idea of Unselfishness carries with it the suggestion not primarily of securing good things for others, but of going without them ourselves, as if our abstinence and not their happiness was the important point. I do not think this is the Christian virtue of Love.
"The New Testament has lots to say about self-denial, but not about self-denial as an end in itself. We are told to deny ourselves and to take up our crosses in order that we may follow Christ; and nearly every description of what we shall ultimately find if we do so contains an appeal to desire. If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and earnestly to hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I submit that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by an offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased."
-C.S. Lewis

276 Posse Comitatus always applied only to federal troops, and the Army and Air Force now. The Navy and Marines are not mentioned, but regulations include them as though they were. It does not apply to the Coast Guard either, and it is allowed to do federal law enforcement operations.

And it does not apply to National Guard under control of the governor of state. An a governor can invite troops from another state in as well. A governor can send in troops to restore order, and enforce state laws.

It also didn't apply when the Insurrection Act was invoked, and the conditions.

They broadened the Insurrection Act in 2007 to give the President more leeway to invoke it, but repealed it in 2008.

282 Lincolntf, I also want to take issue with this: "Aint' nobody standing for no National Anthems at blogs."

I spent over five hours today walking the beat in a large Boulder County town taking surveys and registering voters (well, one voter). This isn't easy, it's a lot less easy than standing up for the National Anthem. I did it because I happen to rather like this my adopted country, at least as it was in the 1980s, and I'd like to see it restored. (Even if we have to sit through more Duran Duran revivals.)

page 222 "Time after time, the Black race-peddlers go out of their way to get offended by others to justify a national temper-tantrum. Expectedly, these race-peddlers' agenda isn't new. Booker T. Washington exposed them long ago.


"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problems solvers who don't want the patient to get well."

toward Muslims or non-Muslim Arabs and Sikhs, don't stand by and do
nothing. Shut that shit down!" I just love the SJW who are so concerned for others that they ignore the victims of those who murder in the name of Allah.

390 So high school role models are now spoiled professional football players with a cause for the "oppressed" in this country instead of the men and women who carry that flag into harms way to defend the country and to keep them safe and ensure their right to bitch about the Oppressed. So, where are the coaches, the NFL rules of conduct and the parents of the high schoolers?

I'd like for some of those high schoolers to be interviewed and ask them what they are standing, kneeling, whatevering for. Pathetic and so juvenile.

Just play football.

395 somebody being Islamophobic
toward Muslims or non-Muslim Arabs and Sikhs, don't stand by and do
nothing. Shut that shit down!" I just love the SJW who are so concerned for others that they ignore the victims of those who murder in the name of Allah.

Posted by: Locke Common at September 10, 2016 09:58 PM (CZCmp)


How can one be "islamophobic" towards Christian Arabs, or Sikhs? That makes no more sense than accusing me of being "homophobic" towards Kate Upton.

396 That imbecile needs to be flamethrowed. Or is it flamethrown?Posted by: rickl at September 10, 2016 10:02 PM (sdi6R)

My reply . . . I will be too busy remembering those people murdered in the name of
Allah and those who died attempting to aid those in distress from the
cowardly attack made in the name of Allah, not to mention remembering
those heroic souls who thwarted the murder of other innocent people
being targeted in the name of Allah.

Never had the pleasure of meeting him.

Anyway, the offer stands.
