A mattress store in San Antonio,Watch Fast & Furious 7 Online Texas, is in hot water after releasing an offensive commercial for a "Twin Tower Sale" on the weekend of the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

"Oh my god," Cherise says before adding, "We'll never forget," using the words Americans have lived by since the 9/11 terrorist attacks brought down the World Trade Center in 2001.
