Snuggies: a comfort or a cancer?

Roamless Hudson: I'm not going to lie gang, it's been a rough time for the R-Dogg. However, the cure for my blues arrived in the mail Thursday. That's right, I got my Sage Green Sunggie and super-slim, totally portable Book Light! I know it's getting warm out, but I'm sure I'll be able to use my Snuggie year round whenever I want to watch TV or study on my bed. And that Book Light will come in handy when we have our next week-long power outage!


Bone Fresh: Oooh, Snuggies! I love Snuggies! They make it possible to easily and immediately identify the idiots living in our midst. Some of these people might otherwise go unnoticed, and you might regrettably find yourself engaged in, shudder, conversation with them. Snuggies offer a quick and easy way to avoid such mind-numbingly painful interactions. If you suspect that the person you've encountered might possess the mental capacity of an illiterate, heroin addict who is recovering from lobotomy surgery, then all you need to do is inquire if that person has seen a commercial for Sunggies. If their response is in any way positive, you know to flee as if a pack of rabid hell hounds were following close upon your heels.

wusspie: Ok, I can kind of see the reason for the Snuggie's existence from a functionality standpoint, but what really irks me is the stupid hipster adoption of it. “Hey, let's post a goofy Twitpic of ourselves wearing these! Everybody will think we are sooo cool!” Or, what's even more horrifying is the organizational efforts on "teh innernets” to manufacture Snuggie bar crawls in various cities across the country. If there was ever a justifiable need for an IED, it would be to take out a herd of unsuspecting, drunken, Snuggie-wrapped toolbags on a crowded street corner.

Roamless Hudson: Whatever, dudes. Next time you're laying on the couch at home and struggling with your blanket because it's got no sleeves, just know that I'll be kickin' it in style with hundreds of my best buds as we bounce from bar to bar in perfect comfort.

Bone Fresh: No one struggles with a blanket! Blankets are some of the most simple things known to man! They're almost as simple as you Roamless. The Snuggie serves no purpose, fills no need, and solves no problem. The fact that Snuggies are targeted at people too stupid to figure out a blanket should tell you something about the people who buy them. And if you really really need sleeves, get a robe.

As for the hipsters wusspie identifies, their tight pants must have restricted the blood-flow to their already addled brains. Otherwise, they would realize that something stupid and worthy of derision isn't redeemed because it is worn “ironically.” It's still just plain stupid.
