This was my reply to MIL:
I'm not really sure what this story is talking about. The whole story has so many inaccuracys, yet another reason I don't watch any news but Channel 5. All the prices for things I'm looking at were right in the early ads after I saw the actual ads (Walmart). I talked to a manager at Walmart yesterday (I was asking what time I should get there) and she said that they knew their ads were leaked to a competior so they printed a special flyer just yesterday and lowered the prices even more on some items. That may be why there are some price differences. Since I'm sure that reporter didn't go the site before yesterday, so I don't think he knows what he is talking about.

Off to write an e-mail...
I was thinking about writing an email myself. I think I will!! Everyone of us should send them an e-mail. BUT...IF YOU DO...
REMEMBER...don't be rude or sarcastic. Don't show your:gd_shake: b/c that won't get us or the website anywhere. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to tell them off. But it will just get tossed to the side if it's in a bad manner. The way to get your point across is to be as nice as possible about it. Just simply tell them that you're not sure where they have gotten their information but the ads so far have been pretty well on the money. And that there is no way for Brad or Ross to have copied the ad off Wal-Marts website since GottaDeal had it a month ago. (Or whatever you want to tell them). Tell them if they take a more in depth look at the site they will notice these ads were leaked way before they were on the companies web sites. Also, if they believe the ads are sooooo incorect then they should do a follow up story after tomorrow when all the print ads are in hand.
Ok, lets get writing everyone!!!

Thats good to kknow! i have been to memphis, its a pretty place (during the daytime anyways). Seems like there are much more important things going on in memphis than this., The day I was there there was a shooting at the greyhound station. We were right across the street when it happened. I mean, come on. That guy was WAY off. But good to know that the people who live there think so as well!Please don't think we are all idiots in Memphis!! This guy is a total goob and we have been making fun of him for YEARS. He used to review home products and tell you if they were worth the money. Now he got too big for his britches and just makes up crap. This station has some major envy for the real news station in town and is always coming up with these type of sensational stories. I don't ever watch it so I didn't actually see it on the news.
Mugs, please write an email or tell Brad to sue. The whole town would be grateful if you got him off the air.
I have been telling all my friends and family how wonderful the site is. That is why my MIL sent me the link, she thought she was "saving" me.

More than anything else they should be embarassed about the hacky "gottadeal/nottadeal" title. Ooooh, they made it rhyme... idiots.
Heh... when I showed Jenni the video she asked why they only went after Gottadeal and no other Black Friday sites - the best reason I could come up with is that they couldn't make the other sites rhyme with anything.
