The My Pillow Boycott: 2023

If you read this blog last year, then you’d know that I posted about a boycott of TV shows that promote My Pillow. It doesn’t yet seem that he is able to advertise during primetime on network television. But it could yet happen. I don’t see why someone who promotes election conspiracy theories should have anyone advertising his business. And while there are plenty of sedition caucus donors, none of them have the problem of being a dishonest business like this one.

 

In addition to what I am already boycotting (Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Late Show with James Corden, He Haw, one of my news sources, and The Andy Griffith Show), the new additions to the list are radio station 103.9 and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

 

I’ll admit that I haven’t always been good at boycotting all of these shows. I watched Jimmy Kimmel Live twice since my boycott of him started. One was because he was interviewing James Corden who was also on the boycott list by then. He had earlier interviewed Mike Lindell, the owner of My Pillow, which was notable to me for Mike actually making a good point: that Jimmy promotes his company.

 

I had returned to James Corden for an interview with Bill Clinton then returned to his final primetime special and true final show in its regular timeslot. It was hard to give up The Late Show and I haven’t always been as good with that, but often do have him gone from my viewing habits. And the news source is something I’m better at giving up now.

 

How it could still affect my blogs is unknown. I do know that when I did the first post on this, I didn’t know if I would be doing a blog called Fadam Secretary blog, but that did wind up happening. I did it a lot more when my blogs were on hiatus and now it is on hiatus until I need it again. But it can be helpful. For instance, if I give up my Elementary blog due to the boycott, it would lead to the only instance of me doing a Eadam Secretary blog on the locked in dates that I was to do the random updates of my Elementary blog only when I’m done with those random updates.

 

I would also do new blogs like that since it would be a good place to put the political updates of The Good Wife and Good Fight blogs if those blogs were to end. While the Madam Secretary blog would return if it were to be done with the updates (something that could also happen if one of the blog posts wind up deleted by the powers that be since that could happen since they inexplicitly put a warning on one of the posts without telling me what community standard I violated since I would want to just edit out whatever the offending part of it is and I would stop updating that blog in protest of them not telling me what I did wrong or giving me a chance to fix it), it would have to wait until new blogs are done and they would in this order now: Nadam*, Gadam, Oadam, Hadam, Padam, Iadam, Qadam, Jadam, Radam, Kadam, Sadam, Ladam, Tadam, and only then would Madam come back.

 

*I am editing out the Secretary blog part of all of these for simplicity’s sake

 

I would only post more about what happens in each blog if they really were to end as a result of the boycott. I could come back to them. I do know that with any of them in the cast update phase, I would not do anything relating to one blog or franchise in another should it have wound up in that updates. This would mean that a boycott of, say, CSI: Miami would mean that I wouldn’t add any new people from that show in my Elementary blog. It would also mean that the only people that I could save and move to another blog would be those who happened to have the same projects as people in the other blog already have (if that makes sense).

 

While I will talk about this more in my CSI: Vegas blog when and if it fully updated, in the event that I shared something on facebook from one of the late night talk show hosts that I have mentioned, I will be replacing facebook things that I did post, even though I won’t be deleting the old things that I have posted. (Right now, only Dilbert and Chris Cuomo get deleted and replaced, although I’m not sure if I ever shared the first one and the second one may already have been.) Basically, Jimmy Kimmel things will be replaced by Jimmy Fallon, James Corden with both Craig Ferguson and Jordan Klepper, and Stephen Colbert with both David Letterman and Jimmy Fallon.

 

I can’t think of anything else to mention in this blog post about the boycott I do of TV shows that promote My Pillow. I know that I did this blog post early relative to what I could have done, but I might not be able to do that many posts of this blog in the future and I can only guarantee one more one here this year on the last Sunday of this month. Thus, I wanted to get it done while I knew that I still could do it so this post is done now.
