After MyPillow posted an ad selling pillows for the discounted price of $14.88 apiece, many were quick to call that price out as a Nazi dog whistle.

MyPillow CEO and MAGA acolyte Mike Lindell is under fire for what many have characterized as a dog whistle for various White nationalist and White supremacist groups.

A new ad for his product features pillows at a discounted price of $14.88, a number associated with the neo-Nazi and overall White supremacist movements.


According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL):

"1488 is a combination of two popular White supremacist numeric symbols. The first symbol is 14, which is shorthand for the '14 Words' slogan: 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children'."
"The second is 88, which stands for 'Heil Hitler' (H being the 8th letter of the alphabet). Together, the numbers form a general endorsement of White supremacy and its beliefs."
"As such, they are ubiquitous within the White supremacist movement—as graffiti, in graphics and tattoos, even in screen names and e-mail addresses, such as aryanprincess1488@hate.net."

And the ADL even noted:

"Some White supremacists will even price racist merchandise, such as t-shirts or compact discs, for $14.88."

Some thought it was a prank or fake post.

But going to the MyPillow website—with some noting White nationalist Sebastian Gorka was sharing the link—confirmed the price was real.

People across social media had a variety of reactions.

Some were shocked while others found it almost expected.

But others took the opportunity to mock Lindell and his promo price.

The Reich wing puns and references were plentiful in some admittedly dark humor.

Lindell and his company have faced multiple financial and personal setbacks in recent years.

After threats of boycotts by consumers over multiple controversial statements by Lindell, major retailers stopped stocking MyPillow products leaving the company reliant on online sales.

Lindell has also lost several lawsuits over his over $25 million promotion and perpetuation of former Republican President Donald Trump's Big Lie about his 2020 loss to Democratic candidate and 46th President Joe Biden.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
