About the refreshing taste of Coca Cola©! Now available in zero calorie Coca Cola© Zero! Coca Cola is available in both two liter and multi-pack cases. Get to your local Walmart© and get yours today!
Both these companies can get fucked by a Mack© Truck.

Huge missed opportunity to be even more tasteless and price them 3 for $9.11

Not as tasteless as their name-brand stuff. But still, what the hell, guys?

Well, many holidays start off as solemn occasions (eg, Memorial Day), then gradually become commercialized and degenerate into excuses to eat, drink, and skip work. Just 15 years for 9/11 has got to be a record.

Honestly, on the scale of overall tragedies, 9/11 is working it’s way down the list.

It might not be *as* bad if she didn’t end the video by very quickly saying we will never forget. That, at least for me, was too far

I’m going to put on my flame suit and ignore those who agree with this sort of thing.
Dear God how tacky. In the rest of the world we have a minute’s silence. Some countries hold a minute’s silence at the time each aircraft struck each of the World Trade Centre towers.
All I’m seeing from the U.S. Is, ‘in memory of the fallout, buy Coca Cola’, ‘in memory of 911, buy some mattresses at discount prices’, etc...
Very few solemn occasions are best remembered with a discount sale, actually scratch that, I can’t think of any that are.
These anniversaries are to remember the dead and those left behind, be they the injured or the families of the deceased.
It’s disgusting.

It is. It’s a conspiracy to get you to spend more than you think you’re going to. Walmart (and every company at this point) picks oddball prices to screw up headmath. ‘3 + 5' is a lot easier to do in your head than ‘3.33 + 5.76', and a lot of people will ignore whatever follows the first digit instead of using proper rounding.
By the time you get to the register and are a few dollars over, it’s too late. You’re already committed. You’re not going to get out of the line you spent 10 minutes in to go put something back so you can come back and wait 10 minutes more. A few dollars more from millions of customers everyday adds up.

Where, pray tell, do you get the idea that anyone actually supports those ads? The only reason you’re seeing them is because the nation is collectively and unequivocally infuriated over them, so they’re all over the media.

I’ve give you that, but are you telling me I won’t find more that aren’t in the media right now.
Walmart is a massive multi national company and their lawyers didn’t think this was a bad idea.
If people actively didn’t support these events they wouldn’t happen.

The Walmart display was put up by the local coke bottling affiliate without corporate approval, and was taken down Wednesday. The mattress store is now closed indefinitely and the woman in the video has been receiving death threats. Even the company that supplied the inflatable tent they had outside has now publicly severed all ties with them.
Nobody supports this shit aside from the asswipes in marketing that get it in their head that “No it’ll be funny this year”

Local grocery store always has some art made of coke boxes (though never this tasteless, normally they have sports team logos and the like), but they look too stable to get knocked over so easily. And there’s always a lot of product in front so people don’t take from the display.

Well it was always an over reaction. A tragedy yes, but 10 times as many people die in car crashes each year.

That restores a little faith in humanity but stuff like this shouldn’t even be in the minds of people to even think for a moment that this is appropriate.
The only people who should be making any money is the services that maintain the graves, look after the families left behind and assist those injured in the attack and similar.
We owe it to not forget but also to hold onto the memories of those that died that day with respect and not as some tool to promote ourselves, but to promote care and assistance to those other than ourselves.
I know now I’m preaching to the choir, but it bamboozles my mind that anyone thought these were good ideas.
Take care fella. I suspect you’ll have the 11th of September, 2001 burn’t into your memory of that day and all that happened, I know I will. It was the day the world truly changed.
As I say, take care.
Lest we forget.

It’s absolutely disgusting. I’m glad that no one is okay with it.
But it’s only a matter of time before 9/11 is far enough behind us that this becomes normal. This is America after all, we can’t pass up an opportunity to commercialize anything.
I hope I’m wrong, but experience says otherwise.

Well I’m glad that’s the Onion and not something real. Because if it were, I’d have to bar myself from ever eating at subway again.
I mean, I already do that because it’s subway, which is gross. But I’d do it even harder!

That’s in poor taste. Although that’s to be expected when you’re dealing with diet Coke.

Let me guess, Darron the cart guy lost control of his 56 cart train on the way to the door and everything fell down. People screaming everywhere. Coke and debris all over the floor. It will take the walmart crew days to clean this up...
The gravity of the situation hits Darron and he starts crying, swearing that he is not a secret muslim?
