(Limited time only.) ;)
You may be wondering why I decided to post two infomercials today. Well, originally, THIS was the infomercial for the day:
Then, an epiphany hit me while I searched through the pages of Snuggie parodies on youtube in a desperate effort to find the actual TV advertisement. And you know what that epiphany is?
The Snuggie is cliche. It's not cool or funny anymore. All the youtubers have beaten the poor Snuggie to death, and anything I said would be superfluous and unnecessary (ha! ten points to whoever caught that little redundancy).
So, instead of the Snuggie, I give you another completely different product by a completely different company for FREE with your viewing of the above Snuggie infomercial.
The Slanket! It's a blanket with sleeves!
Wow, that's so brilliant. But...something's wrong. I feel like I'm having Deja Vu.
Why, it almost reminds me of...Nah, it couldn't be.
*lookng back to top of post*
GASP! THE SLANKET AND THE SNUGGIE ARE THE SAME THING!
This can only mean on thing. One of them is an idea-stealing nincompoop. But which is the victim?
I think it's time for Slanket Wars. (I'm not exactly sure what that entails. Nevertheless...) WHO WILL RISE VICTORIOUS IN THE BATTLE FOR THE SLEEVED BLANKETS?
Will it be the SNUGGIE, Master of the Universe of Cheesy Infomercials and Current Champion of Infomercial Parodies?
Or will it be the underdog, the SLANKET, with it's Average Joe, remote-wouldn't-work-through-the-blanket, still-living-with-mom, best-product-since-velcro-and-sliced-bread advertising?
YOU DECIDE!

true story: my mom bought a slanket a couple years ago and then last christmas i got a snuggie (the price difference is pretty big...slanket was 30 and snuggie was 15). i can tell you from personal experience that the slanket is twice as thick and much more softer.
