NYC Remembers: Public Service Audio and Video Ads

"It's our big September 11 sale! Take 30 to 40 percent off every item throughout the store! Plus early birds take an additional 10 percent off! . . . Doors open early and stay open late!" (Video Ad 3)

The ad is the creation of One Day's Pay (similar post from 9/11/04) a nonprofit group working to establish Sept. 11 as a national day of volunteering. [via]

Won't that compete with the "Martin Luther King Day of Service?" We can't have two days for volunteering, that would create confusion.

Ad 3 scares the hell out of me. I made a comment on my blog on the first anniversary that I just knew that within 10 years, I'd be wished a 'happy 9/11' by a teenage cashier who doesn't remember the event.

I thought we had to keep shopping on 9/11?
