That Snuggie ad totally cracks us up, too. (And thanks again for turning me onto “I’m Not Feeling You.”)

As for the Slanket, Craig Carton over at WFAN (Sports Radio 66) has been talking up the Slanket for months now. Even got a bunch for co-host Boomer Esaison and his family.

Something tells me it wasn’t Conan O’Brien he was watching when he decided he needed to tear a hole in his sleeping bag…

Wouldn’t he have needed a third sleeve?

Or is that the other product called the ‘yanket’?

It’s early but I think we have our Comment of the Day.

I’m not feeling that silly ass blanket with sleeves either. Any fool can artfully drape a regular blanket around his or her person in such a way as to stay warm and simultaneously engage in, uh, whatever hands-on activities are necessary.

I love how these ads for “products you really do not need” all show us as clumsy, klutzy idiots incapable of navigating our way around our environment or using simple tools until we buy the magic product and change our lives!  At least this ad doesn’t have the bearded guy (I can never remember his name) who shouts at you through the whole commercial.

However, I must defend sweatpants

LOL.  Yeah, I’d put in a good word for sweaters too.

Billy Mays is his name and speaking of, Pop, you can use oxi-clean to get the stains out of your “yanket.”

Jesus, life is good, isn’t it?

Hey, I checked all over the intertubes and there currently is not a product called “yanket”, so I say let’s fire up the Rumproast textile factory: 

Yankets, by Rumproast Manufacturing
————Two Sleeves and a Hole————-

I think the Yanket needs to come (er, so to speak) in a special Loofah model for Bill O’Reilly!

I was wondering what my son was talking about. He was saying there is some stupid new blanket with sleeves on tv.

For once I can say I am happy that a product is not marketing to people of color…

And I prefer the wanket to the yanket.

For once I can say I am happy that a product is not marketing to people of color…

ha! but they do seem to be marketing to the white college hipsters… not the group I would have bet on for this product…yanking notwithstanding…

My husband and I were laughing about this apparently “new” blanket hybrid invention.  I told him I already own one of these…its called a FREAKING ROBE!!!

And I prefer the wanket to the yanket

Oh, “wanket” might be even better Donna.  While we are at it we should copyright “spanket” as well.

Amateurs, the lot of ‘em, amateurs!

Out here in the wild West where the Missions stand in as icons of history, or taco shells, take your pick, we have a woven blanket with a hole for you to slip your head through so you can keep riding your horse, or your snuggie-partner, whichever happens to be closest, it’s called a poncho.

Amateurs, the lot of ‘em, amateurs!

That’s so funny!  My favorite part:

Whether you are trekking in the mountains, cosying on the sofa or simply desire to be the coolest cat at a music festival lippiselkbag.co.uk have the Selk Bag for you.

Yeah, you’d be one cool cat at the music festival in your custom fitted sleeping bag!  Poncho, now, that’s some real funk.

“It that a real poncho? I mean is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho?”

Hello there,it’s Mrs. Polly,OT and sorry for the repetition, folks, but here it is, pass it on:

Hi everyone, I’ve got something important to announce FOR NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTS:

I live in a Mitchell-Lama state-subsidized co-op in lower Manhattan, and they are having a lottery for SPACES on a WAITING LIST for studio and three-bedroom apartments, DEADLINE DECEMBER 16, 9AM. There are 250 slots for studios, and only 25 slots for 3 bedrooms (not many of those).

They’re “middle-income” apartments, but the guidelines haven’t changed in a dog’s age.

The cheapness of the product is in direct correlation to the amount of crap they give away with it.

Did it take like 3 buck to manufacture his crap?

I read that as Skanket.

One of those would keep you nice and toasty as well but machine washing would be difficult.

I absolutely love that they market the Snuggie as something that should be worn at outdoor sporting events. Sir, at that point you should be wearing that other crafty invention known as “the jacket.”  It even comes with hand warming devices known as “pockets!” Imagine that!
