The commercials..... there are way too many of them. They need to cut their ad budget by about 90%.

Not to mention, you can buy one, get one free with the promo code, or just go to Bed, Bath and Beond and similar and by two for half price.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

My wife just received two she ordered from QVC to try out. She figured she can always return them.

Oh, I think it is great to be successful. I have given in to entrepreneurial urges myself.

I am only complaining about the persistent ads, which are moderately annoying anyway, but the frequency of them is unbearable.

Maybe I should be mad at Fox News salesmen who can’t sell ads to all the others.

Move on over to OAN.

Very few commercials and none of them are from the pillow man.

On the bright side, he seems to be using air time formerly used by the catheter ads. Smile

Especially since he's been hit with deceptive advertising before.

The first time I heard the ad say "Official pillow of the National Institute of Sleep Research" or some such thing, I knew something was fishy how a small company pillow would be picked by a big association. My suspicion was right that he was the one who created the association and, now, the ads are stripped of that portion.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I bought 2 my pillows a year or so ago. I can't stand the chunky, lumpy filling. Rather than mess with trying to return them etc. I just threw them in my guest bedroom.

But the commercials are very annoying. Hi, I'm Mike Lindell BLAH BLAH BLAH

Seriously, has there ever been a product that was "blitzed" on TV with unending ads that proved to be worth a shit?

I can't think of any.....
