I think it is funny that many people think that Jeremy is attempting to claim that he invented the grater plater. If you watch the episode he even states that his friend from France introduced him to the product and he thought it was so great that he decided to sell it in the USA. So for Mark and Steve, how about you be less judgmental and not try to ruin Jeremy’s success for a product he thought others would like. Good Luck Jeremy in your success and I hope you stay cancer free.

I absolutely love this product & I’m so happy for Jeremy. The best of luck in all that you do Jeremy. The problem I have is that Billy Mays won that contest & he was picked to be Pitchman for the Grater Plater so why did I just see Sully on the website for this product. When I saw the program the other day & Sully said I just can’t shake this guy I was so angry. He is so overtly jealous of Billy Mays & it shows horribly. I can’t understand why Sully is doing the pitch for Jeremy’s product. I know the family gave permission for to use Billy’s last pitch on the air, so why isn’t his pitch for the grater plater being used. I do not like Sully because of his treatment of Billy over a long period of time & I feel like he just stepped right on his grave by doing this pitch. I’m sorry Jeremy I can’t buy this product with Sully pitching it because I know how much Billy wanted to do it for you.

RIPOFF ALERT!! This is a ripoff of what they have been making in China for decades. Sure, this has the high tech grinding area, but essentially its the same concept. Why can’t Americans think of something original? You can get the same for less than $5 in any Chinese housewares store. If they can pitch this as an original design by Jeremy Parker, then they truly are Pitchmen. Just because you see things on TV, it doesn’t make it real.

I’m neither a housewife NOR a retiree and I like info-mercial products because every one I have purchased WORKS and has been worth the money. I like Pitchmen, because well, there’s something compelling about Billy Mays shouting about stuff. I also love the “but wait!” part of info-mercials. Thy’re educational entertainment for me, and like I said, I’ve purchased everything from the Topsy Turvy to the Magic Bullet and only had good experiences.
And anyway, when did it become an insult to be a housewife OR a retiree? Sheesh buddy, if you like doing things he hard way, be my guest. Me, I like my Shark knife sharpener and Titan Peeler!

What a crock! The grater plater is a rip-off of products as Seen Elsewhere, not just on TV. We bought in France. Can’t believe the Pitchmen got scammed by a pretend inventor!

Wow, Wowon! You could not even sign your real name!
A shame people just might know who you really are.

Whether or not this is a show about ‘pitching products to housewives and retirees’ still does not change the fact that using the correct vernacular is common practice when writing about ‘anything.’ A little extra effort in researching before posting is always in order in a situation like this one.

Ego? I’m just stating facts where as it would appear that you have not only an ego, but are very defensive in the process.

It’s reality TV shows and the movies that continually promote inaccuracies regarding ‘history’ such as the piratical seizure of the HMAV Bounty that never set the facts straight or reflect the truths of such histories.

In retaining these ‘mindsets’ such as yourself, no good can become of any of it. Let us see that you too believe in promoting ‘accurate’ historical facts, not misnomers when you see them.

Meanwhile, do not hide behind some fake ID because you are afraid to let the world know who you are because you were not brave enough to face your critics.

Hey David Townsend, I’m glad that you found it necessary to critique the vernacular of a reality TV show about Pitchmen.

I’m all for accuracy when it comes to historical documentaries, but this is a show about people pitching products to housewives and retirees.

I mean seriously, you actually felt like you had to come and make a comment about the correct way to state the name of the Bounty? I too have quite an ego about my intelligence, but man, thank god it’s nowhere near as ridiculous as yours.

Then again, here I am bemoaning your moaning, so I guess I’m just as bad as you.

Wait, no I’m not.

“Mutiny on the Bounty is what Billy Mays is all about.”

“IT has the strength to pull the HSM Bounty…” DOH or “Her Majesty’s Bounty.”

He’s got it “all wrong”. The “correct way” to state it is:
His Majesty’s Armed Vessel Bounty (HMAV Bounty).

If, like Billy Mays says ‘Mutiny on the Bounty is what its all about.
The ‘Bounty’ was never a ” DOH or “Her Majesty’s Bounty.”Iit was the Kings ship, King George III of England. Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George had nothing to do whatsoever with any of ‘His Majesty’s’ ships of the Royal Navy.
No ship of those times were ever referred to as ‘Her Majesty’s.

As to the Bounty II replica, that vessel is named HMS Bounty. But even ‘they’ have the name wrong. That’s the problem with Hollywood and the movies.
