You all did ..let’s be real. His advertising is genius and it made him rich. People just hate because he became a huge success.

But if you hate commercials turn the TV off and go enjoy everything THe villages has to offer, way better then boob tube.
Exactly..

I think the satisfied customers in the commercial are actors and not actual users. False advertising!
I only own MyPillows because they are great for sleep, stop neck pain, easy to wash and dry when needed and all for a reasonable cost. Best pillows I have ever owned. You should try it before you complain about it although they are probably not for everyone.

Agree. Being from Minnesota, I brought my pillows back to the store. Didn’t like them at all. No questions asked, gave me back my money and let me keep the bonus airplane pillow. My daughter absolutely loves her pillow!

A lot of the claims don’t need research. I can say that Porsche makes the best sports car, it’s my opinion and I have many magazines that back me up, but it’s still subjective. No research needed.
When they claim that something is free (let’s say a book) but you have to pay shipping, what’s wrong with that? The book was free, if you go to their warehouse you probably could pick it up for free. The pillow guy got screwed, we have some of his products and they are very good. As for the slippers, Amazon sells them for $80 and thru the factory they have a sale for $50. Are they worth it, I don’t know but I wouldn’t bash something that I have never tried them before, that’s just wrong

As far as elephants and memory go, I imagine that some scientists have studied their memory. But, they can be trained to perform complex tasks for a circus act. And in Africa, they migrate through some dry areas so they need to remember where the water and water holes are or they die.

I always thought stores stopped selling My Pillow because he came out as a Trump supporter or something like that. Never heard of a lawsuit. Most deals out there are only after the prices were raised.

Speaking of that, seems that the Sun had more ad pages than ever.
Not the Sun's fault.....if they had less ads, they'd have to charge much more for the paper. When you see the hearing aid ads that are full pages or multiple pages, and often in the week, it tells you their selling prices are way to high (too much margin) to afford all the ads.

Retailers have to pay a 3%-7% fee for credit card sales....which is why "cash only" price is posted. You have to look closely to see the cash only.

Ftc laws are clear. Pretty much all you have to do is advertise it at one price for at least 30 days from my recollection of the law. But of course the reality is that that $49 price and he's now selling it on sale for is about $35 too much for a pair of slippers you can buy and Macy's for $15 during Christmas. But pretty much this is a capitalistic society and I'm happy he can sell whatever he wants on TV but I wish at least he'd have a pretty girl doing the showing instead of him. I much prefer the appliance direct commercials and seeing what refrigerators are costing
