Gun control activist David Hogg pledged to launch a “progressive” competitor to MyPillow but just one month after the company’s soft launch, Good Pillow has yet to debut a product and the “Good Pillow” trademark belongs to someone else.
As The Daily Wire reported in February, Hogg intended the company to compete with MyPillow, whose CEO was vocally supportive of former President Donald Trump following his November election loss. Hogg called the effort a “pillow fight ” and even went so far as to recruit a partner, tech entrepreneur William LeGate.
“[William LeGate] and I can and will run a better business and make a better product all with more happy staff than Mike the pillow guy while creating US based Union jobs and helping people,” Hogg tweeted at the time. “This pillow fight is just getting started.”
The goal was lofty. Hogg and LeGate did not simply want to put MyPillow out of business — under the assumption that the market could not support two politically-minded pillow companies — but also Fox News, which airs MyPillow commercials.
“We are considering airing a commercial on Fox News immediately following MyPillow ads… my ad buyer says it is unlikely they’ll let us do that, though, since Fox News relies on MyPillow & if MyPillow goes under, it could also really hurt Fox News,” LeGate tweeted shortly after the pair announced their “launch.”
.. because they have the advantage on making inferior products..............quicker............
I saw that offer too. I’m thinking $100. from a high profile ‘celebrity’ like D-Hogg is ‘crumbs’.
I would expect more, coming from such a high profile media figure. Something like $1000.
You could say ‘we will pay you $100. now, for the first logo, then you will be hired to design at least 10 more logos over the next 12 months.
This boy needs some basic marketing courses....
Well, maybe not all hoggs are pillow biters; some are also fudge packers or sausage affeciounados, too. Maybe he can start a company to compete with Mrs. Sees Candies or Holiday Farms during the Holiday Season. ;-)
He looks like more of a pillow biter than a pillow hogger to me.
Media Hogg wins again - He gets mountains of free publicity just by screaming out ideas that have no substance.
The Leftist news can’t wait for his next proclamation.
Him and Greta should date....................
So, starting a business with the primary goal of putting someone else out of business is a "lofty goal"?! These people are sick, sick, sick!
Woke Pillow Co
***********
Haha. No sleeping, no rest. Just woke all the time.
With his new found experience in the market place, perhaps David Hogg should be the Secretary of Commerce now? LOL!
I would have liked to have seen him in business long enough for his union workers to call a strike.
Probably filled with his hot air.
Liberals are always surprised by reality..................
Yeah like global warming brings 30-50 inches of snow to Denver and environs.
well, it's not like it was his money or something
If young Mr. Hogg keeps up his Capitalistic ways he may wake up some day and find he’s a Conservative.
His pillow fools you.
You think it was in the bed room but
It was never there.
Well, his pillow company appears to be a facade just like his claim to be a survivor of the Parkland School shooting. When the shooting took place, Hogg was at home a mile away from the school. When he heard about the shooting on the news, he grabbed his camera and jumped on his bicycle and rode as fast as he could to the school hoping to get some good pictures. He is no more a survivor than I am.
I have a suggestion for the name of his pillows—Hoggshead Pillows. The logo can be the head of a happy and smiling hog. Now can I have the $100, David?
He was granted entry into Harvard because of his unearned publicity from the Parkland tragedy. He managed to insert himself into the limelight. So it is probably easy to understand why he thought his name would ensure the success of his imaginary pillow company. The reality of life can be so cruel.
GunGrabber Global Warming Pillow Company... They could have Greta Thundberg doing an ad and she can say How Dare You if someone buys a MyPillow... 😀
