President's Day... & Mattresses?

PRESS THIS LINK! They will help you better understand my blog post :) Please and thank you :D



Now before I even mention the video, I want to talk about my title choice. Tomorrow is President's Day. Many of us Americans know that President's day is about celebrating our past and present Presidents and how they have changed America to what we have today. Many of us also know that President's Day is the day of ultimate MATTRESSES SALES!!!! Wait what???? Yes, Americahas resorted to using a national federal holiday for sales. First it was Easter with a bunny. Then it was Christmas with a fat old guy with a beard. Now it is we celebrate President's Day with mattress sales. That is preposterous!


This past weekend I was stuck on the couch sick. All I could do was eat, sleep and watch television. So I did just that. When it came to the tv part, almost every other commercial break was filled with mattress sale commercials! I saw Tempurpedic, Macy's, Lazboy, and various other commercials. How do mattresses connect with our past presidents?! 0%! Yet, these stores were still advertising it. It is a tad funny though. They are squeezing money out of our wallets by connecting our Presidents and mattresses. Whats next, Colombus advising us to buy the coolest new electronics? Hopefully stores don't stoop that low.


Now I want to analyze this video. The video starts out with a mattress superstore jingle. Then is a WOOOO sound. What's so wowing about a mattress superstore? It is a store that sells mattresses. Not Narnia!
Another part that bothers me is when President Abraham Lincoln pukes up mattress prices. That is gross. Lastly, it ends the same way it started. The stupid way. A jingle and wooing. Congrats to our stores for making another holiday all about sales. It really shows the love we have for our presidents when all we can show forit is our lovely matress sales.
