Neutrality and completeness

This page reads like a sales pitch to advertise with this company and does not cover any details about the company's operations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.27.191 (talk) 03:16, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it definitely seems like it was written by the company itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.117.162.243 (talk) 13:55, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree as well. It's a sales pitch. Where's the criticism of this company, and their junk mail/SPAM practices? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.90.145.83 (talk) 19:04, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After some research, I discovered that the Federal Government has a HUGE stake in all this: the USPS generates massive revenue every year with mailers (like RedPlum) and intentionally make it difficult to stop delivery. If you hound RedPlum enough, they will stop the delivery after several weeks, and promises not to re-deliver for another 5 years -- which I find difficult to believe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.66.150.108 (talk) 14:03, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article initiation

I tried to look up this company on WP and found it nowhere. Seems to be big enough to have its own entry. I started something light out here, up to the rest of you to flesh it out. Have fun! Ψν^Psi_nu 19:45, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

News Corporation

What happened to the voucher court case against News? It seemed that there was a settlement and then Murdoch & Co retracted. A case that is valued at 500 million is worthy enough to be included, is it not? It feels like a black ban was put over this more than a year ago. 144.136.176.129 (talk) 06:59, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear date

This entry says "Inspired by the September 1984 (October 1983?) premiere of the TV movie Adam". It's unclear what the actual date is and the date should be only one.
