I don't buy any of that stuff!
The closest possible one is Autozone, but I'm not driving almost an hour away for auto parts.
I was reading a list of his sponsors and thinking, who the heck pays money for that crap?
Oreck vacuum cleaners was the only one I found slightly tempting, but I'm not paying that kind of money for a sweeper....
I don't think this is political, social maybe....

Hope the girl he called a slut and a prostitute sues his balls off, that is if he had any.
She has a really good case for deformation of character.

Have you ever seen someone brag about the superiority of some product that seemed ordinary to you? Chances are, their opinion is mostly based on the advertising claims.
I also fell for the Bose hype. It's just a radio. Live and learn.

(5,364 posts)While it was not uncomfortable, I could not see at all what the big deal was at all. It's just a gimmick. I spent so much time fiddling around trying to find an ever-elusive optimal setting it overcame my desire to convince myself it was something special over my regular mattress/box-spring than my own bed at home.
I'd rather sleep on a bed of nails than pay Limbaugh's coffers.

(12,132 posts)we stayed at a B&B for our 25th anniversary last year and all their advertising kept bragging about the in-room jacuzzi (neato!) and the "luxury sleep number bed"...Bleah. Fiddled with that stupid thing for 4 nights and never found anything as good as my bed back home.
Other than that though the place was gorgeous and we had a great time.

Having said that, when I sleep away from home, on a conventional mattress, I sleep like a baby. So yeah.
