Worried neighbors called the police in Minnesota this week, when they noticed a man standing outside in the cold without a coat, hugging his pillow.
Police in Jordan, outside Minneapolis, said, "the caller certainly was not wanting to get too close thinking who is this deranged person standing outside in the cold hugging a pillow," which sounds reasonable enough.
Luckily for everyone involved, the deranged person hugging a pillow was only a cardboard cutout of Mike Lindell, the inventor of MyPillow, hugging a pillow. Jordan Police posted the story to Facebook on Thursday, and kept a sense of humor over the whole episode.
"Always better to call the police," they wrote, rather than assume a freezing man might actually be a cardboard cutout.
Despite the ordeal, a picture of the cardboard cutout showed it was still in pretty good shape.
Lindell, himself a Minnesota native who has been starring this week at the Conservative Political Action Conference, shared the police department's post on his own Facebook page.
If you'd like to put your own Mike Lindell cardboard cutout in the cold, the MyPillow website offers them for about $40.

Hey, It’s THAT GUY!
Well, was it freezing?
In college I had a friend who managed a liqour store. He occasionally gave a cardboard standup once the store was finished using it. I had Kathy Ireland, Elle Macpherson and another girl. I bet any passerby who looked in my window thought I had a pretty good party going on.
I'd expect them to blast the cutout with a hail of gunfire when it didn't respond to their commands.
Did you set them up on your electric train set so it looked like they were dancing?

Did they at least bring him a cardboard coat?
The trouble with down pillows is that they go down.
It is funny, thou
I am surprised that the police didn’t put a few rounds through it when the man refused to drop the pillow.
