"You're here at - let's just say it - the future of fashion," said host Ross Matthews, better known as Ross the Intern from Jay Leno's "Tonight" show.
The much-parodied Snuggie infomercial, in which Snuggie-clad actors eat popcorn and read on the couch and stand to cheer at a football game, was intended to have "a little cheek," said Linda Hotz of the Allstar Marketing Group, which makes the Snuggie. But the company had no idea it would become a pop culture touchstone.
"People just took it to the next level and we decided to go with them," she said.
The show, which boasted an entire dozen attendees, featured Snuggie-clad adults, children, and dogs. Many of the new Snuggie designs have been out in (gasp!) stores for months now, but haute couture is clearly not the point here.

]]>Cash4Gold would be my vote.
]]>@StanTheManDean: +1. No publicity is bad publicity, right? So, the Consumerist continues to promote this...this thing that is apparently considered quite absurd/worthless by most of its readership, but just can't seem to let go. Let it go, Consumerist! LET. IT. GO.
But, what then would they have to mock...
]]>@Shoelace: That is true, but besides the point.
My cat is suing.
]]>The Snuggie is anti-cat!
How dare they make a DOG snuggie and not a cat snuggie!
Do cats not get cold? Do cats not require to be cozy?
How long will we, as a nation, accept anti-cat attitudes?
]]>@tawni: It does...and thank you.
]]>Screw Marc Jacobs - I'm goin' next year just for Snuggies!
]]>IF youall would stop promoting the crap ya know it just might go away on its own.
]]>@brain_grenade: not funny. we all make mistakes. If it makes you feel better to put down others then by all means enjoy yourself.
]]>@AgamemnonV1: ...and it's "Murphy's Law" - I'm not really sure if that even applies here.
Now I'm being "rediculous".
]]>@AgamemnonV1: I don't understand the chili/chilli thing. Do Brits rely heavily on that extra 'l'?
For the record, grammar refers to the logical and structural rules that govern the composition of sentences, phrases, and words in any given natural language. I corrected a spelling error.
Thanks wikipedia! If it's online, it must be true!
]]>Personally I don't blame anyone who spells "ridiculous" as "rediculous," considering that's exactly how it's pronounced with an American accent. I do find it ridiculous, however, whenever someone takes their time to correct someone else's grammar when they their selves are victims to Muphry's Law. Fragment sentences FTL.
]]>@tawni: So does spelling 'ridiculous' incorrectly.
]]>@changed my name: Wait-people actually...outside...wha? May God have mercy on us all.
]]>Snuggie madness must go away now! It has already been proven that snuggies fall apart and make people look rediculous.
