The Snuggie phenomena has just gone too far. NYMag has a frightening image of a Peekaru, aka a Snuggie for Park Slope moms, of which they accurately react to with, "Ahhhhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhhhh! Oh my GOD! What is that THING?!?! It looks like a two-headed monster! Oh, good Lord, it's a mom-and-baby Snuggie." On the upside, this will certainly control the stroller traffic on 7th Avenue, and surely this contraption can only prevent public displays of breastfeeding (for those Brooklynites who frown upon such an act). Would you rather see these or Bugaboos on the street?
