| People in Jordan, Minnesota thought this was a deranged man standing out in the street. It was just a cardboard cutout, but I suppose the mistake was understandable |
It was freezing cold, and a person reported a deranged man standing motionless outdoors, with no coat on, hugging a pillow.
Police raced to the scene, only to find a cardboard cutout of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
Well, that was an easy mistake. If you've seen any of the company's TV ads, he does look like he's a bit much. And the premise of the ad is something: A sleepy couple encounter Lindell inside their bathroom medicine cabinet.
I don't know about this company's pillows, but I do know if this medicine cabinet encounter happened to me, I'd probably never be able to sleep again.
According to Jordan, Minnesota police, "Those cardboard cutouts sure can look real from a distance and the caller certainly was not wanting to get too close thinking who is this deranged person standing outside in the cold hugging a pillow."
Or, for all we know, the person who called police knew it was a cardboard cutout but was still freaked out anyway. A plausible scenario, don't you think?
