™—that adawable bwanket with sweeves that's basically a hoodless monk's cowl with a trademark—has inspired all sorts of reactions, from snickering to wanting, with its instant-classic commercial. ("Blankets are okay but they can slip and slide. And when you need to reach for something, your hands are trapped inside!") With the Snuggie™, your hands are free to work a remote control, massage your lover's feet, or pound Jäger in public. New York's FIRST Snuggie Pub Crawl is in the works, and already over 50 Snuggie™ enthusiasts have signed up! The date is still T.B.D., but the vision of a mob of pseudo-ironic drunks stumbling around in their creepy Snuggies™ makes the ritual orgy scene in Eyes Wide Shut seem somehow comforting by comparison. And while we don't want to contemplate what a drunken Snuggie™ hook-up would look like, now we can't help ourselves! [Via AntiKris, whose step-mother is sewing her a Snuggie for the occasion.]
