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.”
Woke Pillow Co
Every now and then there is good news. This makes me smile.
He took the money and ran.
Lol. What an incompetent fool. And thus a perfect as a liberal influencer. Apparently having no accomplishments is a basic requirement.
Their secret is the interlocking Hogg sh*t filling.
Because he is so 2018.
Ahhhh....that’s too bad...
How about the “Peccadillo Pillow”
Lacking a self-lubricating pouch for the pillow humpers, who didn’t see this “coming”
On the other hand, he would be a good spokesperson for wart or fungus remover...maybe colonic cleanse as well.
Dead On Arrival!
I have two MyPillow pillows and I love them. Best sleep ever. Hogg should listen to Elon Musk. Musk famously said anyone can create a prototype, but mass manufacturing and getting the product to customers is extremely hard. Plus it helps to have a better product. An inferior product will always lose out to Chinese manufacturers, because they have the advantage on making inferior products.
Just because you don’t like someone, doesn’t mean you are good at the business they are in.
Hopefully Hogg illegally mismanaged assets and funds and will be held accountable.
Hard to make money selling sleep products to the perpetually ‘woke’...
If either working partner really wants this Pillow thing to happen, it is not difficult. It simply requires a lot of planning. Like most people, I have tried having my own business here and there. Do you need to purchase that name? Do you need certain vendor licenses?
You have to make out a budget, decide what materials will be needed, where will these materials come from, and what will those costs be?
Where will the materials be stored? Must you pay to store them? Who will assemble, In what country?...and so on. Basic, logical questions every business owner/operator must ponder if you know what’s good for you.
“The Pillow Biter’s Pillow?...............”
With pre-made bite marks for guidance.
LOL, Hogg found out it’s a lot of work to pluck a duck only to later find out it’s a goose he needs for better quality pillows.
