Worst Furniture Store Promotion Ever

Well, unless some other store is offering 75 percent off any of their couches that were previously urinated on.

A Houston furniture store is out $600,000 thanks to what most people are referring to as “the easiest NFL promotion ever.”

Gallery Furniture told customers who spent more than $5,000 on items they would be completely reimbursed if they correctly picked both winners of the NFL’s conference championship games on Sunday. That’s it. No point spread, no guess the score, no pick the player who will score the most touchdowns. Just correctly pick the winner of each game, and all of your furniture would be free.

Um, we’ll take the favorites and everything you’ve got in the store. Thanks.

After 85 percent of his customers cashed in on their bet, store owner Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale told reporters, “On Sunday night, I had a ‘me and my bright ideas’ moment, but then I realized it was a great success because it made a lot of customers happy.”

No word on how long Mrs. McIngvale plans on having him sleep on the couch.
