what-the-f#%k-blanket

I, Chanel Hung, am an official owner of a Snuggie.

If you are not already aware, I had very strong feelings toward the idea of a Snuggie when it first came out. A blanket + sleeves = why don't you just wear a sweater or robe? My general sentiments toward Snuggies have not changed much - it's pretty much in line with that one YouTube video that calls it the "what-the-f#%k-blanket." If you haven't seen it yet, see the following:

So, if I wrinkle my nose at the snuggie, why do I own one?! Just to be clear, I would never spend money on this thing. I actually won it. Oh, and it's a USC Snuggie. Fantastic!

I decided that since I can now read, eat, sew, use the remote, talk on the phone, or work on my laptop in complete comfort, I would give it a shot and let you see how retarded I look in doing so. Except I don't exactly have anything to sew...or a sewing machine...or a needle...or thread. And I don't have a TV and therefore no remote...

But seriously guys, look how happy I am and creepy I look! I'm definitely going to be using this contraption all the time when I eat, sleep, study, go to class, play, drive, go to the beach, sew clothes, party, etc. Especially with Los Angeles' freezing weather. DAMN it must have been 75 degrees today. Time to pull out my snuggie since my blankets aren't good enough.

ALSO my aunt told me that when this thing first appeared on infomercials, it sold like hot cakes. Apparently so many people called in to buy the thing that they had to stop airing the infomercial because they couldn't keep up with sales. Whoever came up with this idea for a retarded blanket must be a fricken millionaire. Time to go find him and gold dig that.
