SEPTEMBER 11TH SHOULD NOT BE ONE OF THEM!
And yet, Miracle Mattress in San Antonio, TX thought that it was a great idea, and also went ahead put together an INCREDIBLY INSENSITIVE ADVERTISEMENT featuring two employees diving into towers of mattresses and knocking them down.
They’ve since apologized (not that anyone is willing to hear it) and the store has since closed. Likewise, the employees should be driven forth from our land.
Mythbusters really hasn’t been the same, since the “Build Team” left the show, but Netflix is about to make that all better by giving them their own show!
This all came to fruition after a Twitter announcement came from Dragon Con:
If you’re even remotely plugged into pop culture, you’ve been graced by the phenomenon of Stranger Things, the breakout Netflix Original Series that debuted this year to some 14-odd million downloads and became the Most Popular Download Series.
It was an inevitability that we would get a season 2, and it was officially announced just this morning with the following teaser…
Aside from announcing that Stranger Things season 2 is indeed coming, it confirmed that it’s coming in 2017, so it’s coming quickly. The teaser also gave us the rundown of episode titles for our next trip to Hawkins, Indiana:
1) “Madmax”
2) “The Boy Who Came Back to Life”
3) “The Pumpkin Patch”
4) “The Palace”
5) “The Storm”
6) “The Pollywog”
7) “The Secret Cabin”
8) “The Brain”
9) “The Lost Brother”
Even better, this next season is going to be longer than the first by one whole episode. For someone who loved this show as much as me, you can’t really ask for much more than that.
