Whatever you say.
It's funny whenever 9 and 11 are used in bizarre ways such as this it's "reaching". Is it just a subliminal attention lock to sell a mattress? I don't think so. It's a game. I'd like to listen to the ad agency storyboard planning session for this.
Usually the people who brush these things off are content, if you're happy, why be sad, or mad?
Don't worry, be happy!
your attitude is almost as unnerving as this commercial.

From what I'm reading on this thread, I'm the only one with a sane attitude. What do you know about advertising and CGI? Numbers are probably chosen because they work best with the animation. There's actually a huge chance that nobody noticed this until the commercial was made.
The true story about that day will never be revealed, but you can't stop using the numbers 9 and 11 because of this.
As for seeing Donald Trump and thinking "Trump Towers", that's also reaching. Trump has his reality show and that's what people think first when they see him. Or they think rich bast*** and other non-elegant things.

Check out the end of the commercial, it looks like a Coat of Arms embroidered on the black pillow on the bed. Is that the Trump Coat of Arms, The Monarch, the Vatican...? I have no clue but it's making me scratch my beard.

I think nowadays, with the wonderful "Avatar" advances in computer animation, they can stick any number they like on the side of a sheep...really I do...

And plus, with Trump, we think "Trump Towers"...right?

I think it was done on purpose. You go through any pre-911 commercial and there's no 911 symbolism.
Symbolism is the secret language elitists use to communicate. If the layman only knew what crop circles are talking about.
So, the real question is, why would an elitist himself appear in a seemingly harmless commercial? Like Serta could afford to pay Trump to appear in their commercial...RIGHT!
Businesses don't hire Trump for their commercials because Trump isn't an everyday person and companies don't want that. They want to connect with the everyday man and woman and by hiring Trump would defeat that.
No, this commercial was done for something else other than selling mattresses.
