Snuggie... Really Folks?

ok, i must preface this post by saying my intention is not offend ANYONE, but i am going to be candid about my thoughts on the upcoming topic -- please read it with a grain of salt if your thoughts do not line up with mine.

it all began in california at the beginning of Oct. when i was visiting my sister in LA and we stepped in to Bed Bath & Beyond to pick up my sister's wedding gift -- that's when i saw it, the Snuggie. friends, what the heck is this?!!! it's a blanket with arms, i get it, but seriously?!! it's hideous! and have you seen those commercials??? let's not even talk about the grown white guy dancing in a blue one. actually, lets talk about -- it is outrageous, and not in a good way! aside from my disbelief at the commercails, my aversion towards the snuggie is this: its supposed to be a blanket with arms (some even come with pockets for the remote... we won't go there either), but it's more like a robe that doesn't open. why not just make a blanket with arms? none of this potato-sack-over-the-head-and-thru-the-arms crap. and the leopard print -- really?!

but, to top this all off, my wonderful friend, christina duncan (who had a front row ticket to my ranting about this a couple weekends ago), sent me an email this morning that took me to a whole new level of flabbergastedness (is that a word?). check out this new and improved version of the snuggie:

I literally burst (or actually i had to stifle it b/c i was at work) laughing at this -- part out of entertainment, but part out of, again, complete flabbergastedness.

i don't know if there is anymore to say about this... i just don't get it.
