“@ZzzQuil: Today is the day for dreaming. Happy MLK Day.” So wrong

On April 4th you guys should go with “death is the deepest sleep. Until then…” RT @ZzzQuil: Today is the day for dreaming. Happy MLK Day.

@TotesMcGotes Yikes, I gather you disagree with brands posting on such a significant day. No disrespect was intended.

@ZzzQuil RIP your job, social media guy.

@mrbitterness Do you disagree? You may disagree with brands posting, but as it echos his message, we felt it fitting. No disrespect intended
