Snuggies

I'm sure most of you have heard of the 'Snuggie' and have watched it's awful commercial that airs constantly on TV. I was forwarded the following link to a blog about the Snuggie.......and it is one of the greatest things I have ever read. Here is my Thursday gift to you:

Joe Posnaski - Snuggies

Michael Branda, who came up with the name for my blog, actually bought a couple of Snuggie's for his family. He was quick to come to the defense of the Snuggie:

"Listen. I have a fiance who is ALWAYS cold. I have electric heat which is a fucking ball buster in the winter. For $20 since the day it was delivered, I haven't heard her once complain about being cold while we're watching tv or I'm doing my VBL work haha. It's worth it. Although the competitor has a better name (Slanket) you can't beat the snuggie price.... the thing is fucking huge though"

  1. My favorite line from that article was "he’s hungry and wants to have a bowl of popcorn — and he CAN because the Snuggie has sleeves"

    Hahaha, this is hilarious.

    I am however very interested in those "Sham-wow's". Can't get enough of that commercial.

  2. I'm personally saving my two installments of $19.99 for the "Snug-wowie". It is the Snuggie made of Sham-wow material.
    I can see the adds now... Shots of a woman, wrapped in a blanket on the couch, dozing-off with a "cola" in-hand, Grandpa laughing so hard at the TV he wets himself; or the drunken over-bearing father spilling his beer at his kid’s baseball game. No problem, just a few light pats..."you following me camera guy?" The best part is that instead of a free book-light, they throw in a free DVD documenting the historic cage match between Sham-wow Vince and Billie Mays; winner getting to push the “Sham-wowie”.
