I am deeply disturbed about how popular the snuggie is becoming. In the commercial that comes on my tube every 10 seconds, they show a whole family wearing them at a ballpark. This family looks like they're either a part of a cult or are a group of monks.
Towards the end of the commercial it shows a woman trying to answer a phone while wrapped in a regular blanket. The woman becomes frustrated and confused because they are constrained by the blanket and unable to pick up the phone. Are we serious here, folks? Are blankets really that difficult to manage? What am I, a little puppy? A labrador retriever?

The snuggie is ridiculous. I'm going to go use my salad shooter.

I wasn't sure what you were talking about, Drew, I had to go look that one up. So far I haven't seen a Snuggie commercial yet. You have to admit they look pretty comfy and snuggly, but I will just stick to wrapping my afghan around me when I get cold.

I am pleased to hear that, Giselle, because you don't want to become a victim of the snuggie!

It's funny...my daughter & I have had conversations about how ugly they are and how annoying the commercials are.

Whenever I see those advertisements on TV, I always picture an image of people getting together and performing forbidden rituals.

Snuggies are perfect tools to start your own secret cult!

My biggest worry in starting this snuggie thread is that we are giving it free publicity. Please do not fall victim to the snuggie and all of its cult members!

Ooo! Now free with every Snuggie--your own Dixie cup of Kool-Aid to go meet the space aliens! Rock on!

(I was going to make the obvious reference to the Monty Python monks, but I doubt most of the demographic that'd buy a Snuggie have ever seen such fine films.)
