Mike Lindell, the controversial founder of MyPillow and vocal ally to Donald Trump, is claiming ignorance over the neo-Nazi symbolism in his pillow prices.
Lindell’s pillow company, which he founded in 2009, is currently offering customers the “Standard Classic MyPillow” for $14.88 reduced from $49.98.
But the discount has got critics pointing out a popular neo-Nazi symbol lurking behind the price.
The numbers 14 and 88 are two popular white supremacist numeric symbols, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
The first is a nod to the “14 words” slogan, “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,” coined by David Lane – a member of the white supremacist terrorist group known as The Order.
Meanwhile, 88 is a common code meaning “Heil Hitler”, because H is the eighth letter in the alphabet.
I’m half tempted to buy the domain name “myLUMPYpillow.com” and simply redirect the traffic to mypillow.com just because of how much Lindell would hate that.
Slow the redirect down, and show people ads for fake couch porn sites, too
They’re going to hand over good money for a lumpy pillow from a two bit con artist and part time insurrectionist. Isn’t that punishment enough for the shopper? Nothing we could do to the redirect would punish them worse than having to use a a Lindell lumpy pillow.
It at least half will complain about the couch porn to Mike… or at least to the chat bit…
So it’s meant to annoy Mike even more.
And as far as I’m concerned… he can’t be punished enough.
I was referring to punishment for his shoppers. You can bet Mike doesn’t sleep on one of his own lumpy pillows, even if he should be in prison for his actions trying to overturn democracy.
