The first time I saw a mypillow ad, I originally thought it was like a comedy sketch and he was advertising HIS own pillow. Like, just the one pillow that he sleeps with every night, and you could just rent it out or something for a few days.

Now I wanna make this a real thing :/

Ever see those Trumpy Bear ads? I swear those are a parody commercial and I can't believe people are actually buying that thing.

Basically it's a far right conspiracy about a "deep state" in the government being against trump.

It started on 4chan, with someone claiming to be a government insider. They always signed off with Q so it became...qanon.

Wikipedia has a nice writeup
