A Letter to Sit'n'Sleep Headquarters

To: feedback@sitnsleep.com
From: Sam Ettinger, kepisottlegione@gmail.com
Re: Dubious statistic

Dear Sit'n'Sleep representative:

I have seen the same Sit'n'Sleep television commercial for at least two years, or what seems like two years. At the beginning, your spokesperson (spokeself?) named Neil makes the claim that "nine out of ten people need a new mattress." Personally, I find this statistic to be rather dubious, especially since Neil fails to cite any studies nor mention a single criterion. Instead, he expects us, the consumers, to take his word unquestioningly, which implies one of two things:

1) There is no statistic and the fact is in reality a lie.
2) Sit'n'Sleep assumes its consumers do not need to fret over things like facts, which seems condescending and disrespectful.

Please respond to this e-mail with the source of Neil's aforementioned claim. Thank you for your time.

Respectfully,
Sam Ettinger


Seriously. It seems like no one has brought this up before, but the lies stop now! I AM DEMANDING THE TRUTH FROM THE MATTRESS MAGNATES!
