recreates the western front of WWI with piles of mattresses formed into trenches and has people dressed as dough boys "going over the top" only to be mowed down by a nerf machine gun and pretend to die at the bottom of the trench...

I will certainly be outraged and write a Letter to the Editor of the local newspaper and suggest a boycott of such a tasteless commercial.
