I discovered something really gross yesterday. I may or may not have heard of this product in the past, but yesterday it struck me as extremely strange, and extremely gross and unnatural. It's called, "The Slanket." Essentially it's a huge, long, fleece blanket with...get this...sleeves. Are you serious, right now? So this "Slanket" or "Snuggie" as another company dubs it is marketed towards people who are either extremely lazy, play an extreme amount of video games, or spend a sick amount of time on their couch feeding their face. Ok, I admit, I do a fair share of eating on the couch. But not so much that my arms need to remain covered while I change the channel, dive into my bowl of popcorn, or reach for my cocktail. Look at the man's face in the picture above. He looks so pleased and happy! Will I be constantly and perpetually in a good mood if I purchase and use one of these things?
And how does this thing go on? Do you go through the bottom? Is the back open and you put it on like a smock? Does the back close up with buttons? A zipper? I have so many questions! But I still find it really gross, and really annoying. If someone ever got this for me as a gift (even as a joke-gift), I would immediately burn it in the alley behind my building. I'm perfectly happy with my normal throw-blankets on the back of the couch.

Ok so this might come in handy if you are watching tv and need to change the channel. We do live in a tundra these days, so this might actually come in handy. What are they charging for it anyway?
I dunno what they are charging for it, but I am sure it's too much!
OMG, the TV was plagued with the "Snuggie" commercial over the holidays! That and the "Crunchless Abs" commercial which still cracks me up everytime they say "lower pooch sag."
Someone must be buying this stuff, but it is a little scary to think of the couch potatoes ordering these up. Eeek!
AHHHHHH I saw the Snuggie commercial!!! I thought that was a dream. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it on TV. It's so . . so . . stupid. And it comes in the ugliest colors! People will try anything to make money.
I especially crack up when you see the G-ma and her G-kid on the couch in matching Snuggies......LOOKING LIKE MONKS!!
