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.

TikToker Details How Her College Roommates Led Her To Realize That Not All Women Are 'Hygienic'—And Yikes

It's no secret that some people are not as tidy or as personally hygienic as other people, and sometimes other factors, like mental health, chronic illness or pain, a tough work schedule, limited access to self-care products, or even early parenthood, can play into that as well.

But an overwhelming majority of people believe that, between men and women, women are naturally going to be more hygienic, clean, and tidy than men. While that might statistically be true, that doesn't make it true for all women.

Guy's AI Teacher Tries And Fails To Spell 'Seventeen' In Hilariously Bizarre Viral Video

At the present moment, when people talk about public education and how students are performing in school, some are quick to blame AI. Not only are students being caught using AI to write essays, but they've been caught using it for more basic tasks, like generating ideas for an assignment or even writing an email.

The problem is that, not only are they using AI to assist in the completion of their education, but there's a very real possibility that the information they're receiving from the AI tools is incorrect.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul's press office had a hilarious response to a New York Post report that outgoing Republican Representative Mike Lawler is leaving the "door open" for a future run for governor of the state.

Lawler, a hardline supporter of President Donald Trump, was previously encouraged by GOP leaders a year and a half ago not to pursue a gubernatorial bid, hoping instead he’d help them keep the seat.
