WTF: Designer Snuggie

As if the already ridiculous Snuggie™ could not get anymore dumbfounding, the makers of the blanket-with-sleeves have come up with the Designer Snuggie™. That's right. No longer can you just get your SnUGLiee in burgundy, royal blue or yummy sage green. It can now be bought in zebra, leopard or exciting camel. Oh my!

What I would like to know is what compelled the creators of the SnUGLiee to think that the Designer Snuggie™ would be a good idea? Seriously. I mean, I will admit I'm a sucker for anything in leopard print, and the sight of a somewhat practical product in a chic print makes me consider buying it. But then I laugh out loud intensively at the commercial and say to myself, "That is THE stupidest thing I have ever seen."

On a side note, this would be a great gag gift. My half birthday is on the 23rd. Think about it.

WTF: SNUGGIE

Leave it to the New York Times to have a reporter explore the wonders of the Snuggie in public. If you haven't heard of the Snuggie by now, then you must be living under a rock. I cannot believe someone actually thought to take a giant fleece blanket, put sleeves in it and say, "Why don't I sell it!" Every time that dumb infomercial comes on, my friends and I can't help but laugh hysterically. However, I will say that I kind of want to try the Snuggie in person. I'm just afraid that I'll look like an idiot; it's just a thought.

Nevertheless, this New York Times reporter hit the streets of New York City last week with the Snuggie on. The reporter's adventures in the Snuggie are rather intriguing. Oh the joy of "As Seen on TV" items.

Are there any "As Seen on TV" items you're dying to try?
