This commercial offends on so many levels I don't know where to start. How about the music? I am so sick of this Granola munching muzak I'm ready to break my TV. Then there's the anarexic tree-hugger who apparently thinks tap dancing is cool And let's not forget the two "adorable" kids trying to do the Charleston. Two six year old retards trying to a dance from eighty years ago? Just who are they trying to target with this monstrosity? Why is it all these bed commercials lately seem to be targeting the Subaru driving tree hugging Granola munchers? I guess the rest of must sleep on the floor.

Your post cracks me up!
The fact that two six year olds are dancing a dance from 80 years ago? That's an non-sequitar. How the f**k does a kid know about the Charleston. Oh I know its their Hipster parents who just love living in the far past! |

Good points, Captain Ernie, and may I add a few more? Idiot dad jumping on the bed... When did it become acceptable (much less amusing) for anyone - especially an adult - to jump on the bed? Remember when parents actually set a good example for kids, and if you were caught jumping on the bed you slept on the floor that night? ...with his lil brats wrapped around his legs and hanging around his neck. How about taking them to a playground where you can jump on a trampoline and the kids can climb on the jungle gym? I'm so disgusted with commercials that depict parents (usually fathers) as idiots who are unwilling or unable to teach their kids acceptable behavior. And enough with the geriatric lovebirds. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing happy, affectionate older couples, but we get enough of this from AARP. |

Oh, and one more thing. How about getting some bed linens? Don't these people believe in putting sheets on their bed?

This ad is irritating to me too. The song is stupid, "I can do anything" -- what does that have to do with anything about beds? (Wait, there's a joke in there somewhere.) The first couple with tap dancing and the father with 2 rug rats are the most annoying. How do even hipsters know about the Charleston? Too bad they didn't show an interracial couple rolling around on their amazing mattress! The older couple, yeah enough of the gray-haired lovebirds, but at least she isn't putting her husband down like the young wives do these days. I hate the ending with the "oh, oh, oh" at the end of the song. I guess no bed linens because they want us to see what a mattress looks like.

I don't even let the cats' fleas jump on the bed...at least not when I'm trying to sleep. |

Some funny stuff about buying a mattress by this guy.
Starts at 2:40, but the lead up stuff is worth checking out, too |

"granola munching muzak"
That's the best description I've ever read for this annoying bullsh*t. |

[/QUOTE]Sheets would hide the mattress which is what is being advertised. Commercials rarely depict things that are normal. [/QUOTE] Maybe I'm weird but I think I'd be more likely to be influenced to buy a mattress if I saw people sleeping in it comfortably with decent bedding. Do people really buy a mattress based on what it looks like? And if they do, what's so special about the way this one looks?
