Whatever happened after all the media hype about gun-control activist David Hogg starting a pillow company? We haven't heard a peep in more than a month, since several outlets sounded the trumpets of hope....and ka-ching.
Meryl Kornfield of the Washington Post went into a state of high gush on February 10 as she excitedly announced that "Parkland survivor David Hogg launches his own company in a ‘pillow fight’ against Mike Lindell." There is a GoodPillow handle on Twitter but it has been as silent as Hogg himself since the day you gushed over both.
...he is attempting to create a pillow company to compete against MyPillow, which is led by staunch Trump supporter Mike Lindell. The idea for the company, first tweeted as a joke by Hogg’s partner, software developer William LeGate, is becoming increasingly firm: The pair announced the name of their company, Good Pillow, on Tuesday night. Yet many aspects of the company are not fully formed and critics have thrown a wet blanket on the plan.
Newsweek's Matt Cannon triumphantly announced on February 10 (remember that date) that "David Hogg's Good Pillow Already Has More Twitter Followers Than MyPillow Ever Did."
Wow! Good Pillow has more Twitter followers than MyPillow? So does this mean instant revenue for a company that was started as a joke?
Cannon goes on to blow a note of triumph for a victory that has yet to happen...and thanks to his Newsweek story will probably never happen under the Good Pillow name.
Two progressives have struck the first blow in their pillow fight with Donald Trump supporter Mike Lindell.
Good Pillow was launched online this week to rival the Lindell-run bedding giant MyPillow.
The startup was established by gun-control activist David Hogg and software engineer William LeGate as Lindell continues to face heavy criticism for spreading election conspiracy theories.
Okay, and now we come to the sentence in which Cannon probably destroyed Hogg's Good Pillow before it was even born:
A search of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office database does not reveal any new company being registered under the name Good Pillow or a variant.
David Who?????
He lied about being a survivor, why not lie about creating a business?
Oh gee, what a surprise.
Remember when Hogg and the Parkland students were registering all the teens in Florida and going to “paint the state blue,” and then Ron DeSantis and Rick Scott both won, even in a ‘blue wave’ election in 2018? Good times.
HaHaHa....The media made him and the media couldn’t save him. My heart bleeds....
He needed Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. “I know, Kids. Let’s have a pillow company! We can use the old barn and our Mom will sew the ticking.”
Ya think he saw that old movie:
“How To Succeed In Business Without Even Trying”?

As a guy once told me at Gilley’s in Pasadena TX,
that guy couldn’t pour p*ss out of a boot with the toe cut off and directions on the heel
Leave it to a little Commie carpet muncher. First off, steal someone else’s idea and then run it right into the ground. Those people just can’t pass up an opportunity to show the world that they should never be in control of anything.
Rush Limbaugh called him ‘Camera Hogg.’
Hogg is not as good a salesman as Lindell. Or as good a businessman.
David Hogg is a noxious twit.
Even liberals aren’t buying his sh*t.
“First tweeted as a joke by HOGS partner”.
Is that partner as in business partner or in butt boy partner? I would guess it would be the latter.
Guess there were no potential buyers for the “Hogg” pillow.
In every pic I see of him, he looks angry, stoned, or both.
I guess that’s PTSD from being a “survivor” - show us those bullet holes, HoggBoy.
