Attendees at Fourth Baptist Church in Destin Florida were treated to an unusual display on Sunday when MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was brought up to the stage for a mid-sermon ad for his latest products.
"This brings me to my third and final point, but first, let's hear a word from our sponsor, MyPillow!" the pastor exclaimed. He then nodded to Mr. Lindell who walked on stage for a live demonstration of his latest sleep products.
"With a tough economy, we've had to get creative to meet our budget," said Duane Wayne, an elder at the church. "Mr. Lindell offered to pay us for occasional ads that will run during the sermon."
As an exclusive for church members, several new products were unveiled: The MySermonSnoozer, MyKneelingPillow, and the MyPewPillow.
Fourth Baptist Church has signed a 6-month agreement with Lindell, with an option for renewal if they are still behind budget at that time.
Unseemly
And yes I know it’s satire
My friend got a My Pillow, which really does feel like a meth head invented it by chopping up a pool noodle and stuffing it into a sack.
It’s the almost Always unfunny babylon bee.
I’m waiting for his PewPew Pillow to come out. Doubles as a silencer.
LOL!
Yes, they are made in the U.S. by methheads.
Thank Gd they are made in the US
the mypillow guy has more sense than your typical gutless CEO.
Correction, it's the ALWAYS funny Babylon Bee........
If you've ever wondered why you don't get invited to parties, now you know...........LOL!
Love the Bee.
LOL. Well, pews are hard to make it more difficult to fall asleep in church. Pillows would be nice.
Thank you so much for not putting satire in the title!!!
“My friend got a My Pillow, which really does feel like a meth head invented it by chopping up a pool noodle and stuffing it into a sack.”
I own one, and its a great pillow. For 10 bucks more that a Walmart pillow, it retains its shape.
Would buy it again.
My God, is EVERYTHING commercial now?! Is NOTHING sacred?! Were his pillows handed out to the dozing congregants? Did Mike ask for a special offering, too?!
I’ve said for year that churches should apply a reverse pricing plan, compared to concerts and ball games. In those venues, the expensive seats are up front. In most churches, very few people want to be up front, preferring those seats in the back of the sanctuary, i.e. “Back Row Baptists”.
I told our pastor, “Charge for the back 1/3 of the rows of seats, free for the middle 1/3 and free cookies & milk for the front pews!’
So far, no one else seems interested.
:-)
I love my MyPillow. I sleep very well on it. I find it quite comfortable.
Fixed it. Love the Bee.
True. Mike Lindell is one of us, and he’s gutsy. I like him.
