Yesterday we posted our first ever Snuggie Public Service Announcement (PSA) - Friends Don't Let Friends Wear their Snuggie Backwards. In that article, we chronicled the plight of Brian, who although well-intentioned, was wearing his Snuggie backwards. Here is how we last saw Brian, before his life was forever changed by the Snuggie PSA:

Brian was checking the site to see if his submission was accepted, not realizing the error of his ways. Fortunately he had his web cam set to capture the moment of his newfound fame.

It\'s moment of truth time for Brian. Never underestimate the influence of one reversed Snuggie.
Brian humbly turned his Snuggie around. His life is now whole. The lighting in his room even improved. See for yourself...

... and then there's this from the ATTRIBUTION FAIL file...
So, I ran across this lovely Snuggie hit piece by John Keller from WBZ. This aired on January 28, 2009. He shows a quick shot of SnuggieSightings.com and our very own Bridget at 1:35 in the video, but he doesn't mention the site. What's up with that? He mentions the Snuggie Drinking Game, but sums it up with "Don't Ask".
[Photo not recovered: Don't Blink. We appear at 1:35 in the video. And please don't click here. This is an image. This is not the video. I will be able to tell how many people click on this image, thinking it is the video, trying to play it. Don't be one of those people. The video is down yonder. (NOTE TO SELF: first time to use 'yonder' on this site...will not be last, unless hit by bus).]Don\'t Blink. We appear at 1:35 in the video. And please don\'t click here. This is an image.

Note to John Keller: If USA Today can mention SnuggieSightings.com (which their article ran the day before your news report. Gee, I wonder where you got your source material for this piece? I'm smelling a News Emmy, John), surely you can say these words. Repeat after me: 'SNUGGIE SIGHTINGS DOT COM' (then again, he did not attribute USA Today either...moving on...)
Being a good sport, I will now reference the source material. Be sure to check us out somewhere between 1:35 to 1:36 in this video. I feel like Navin R. Johnson after the new phonebook arrived. With exposure like this, there's nothing holding back SnuggieSightings.com now! Wahoo! Man, am I pumped! Roll Tape!
You cannot go bowling in a blanket. And the Snuggie goes well with the always fashionable pair of bowling shoes. The Snuggie Bowling League (SBL) has sprung forth onto the scene.

Kevin lines up his shot at Riverlanes in Tulsa, while the Great Unwashed (i.e. those losers, sans Snuggies) look on in full Snuggie Envy.
'We want to avoid any Steroid scandals. The SBL will be a clean sport. Since we never roll a gutter, thanks to our Snuggies, there will doubters. I hear the whispers all the time. 'Whisper whisper whisper. That cool girl in the Snuggie has to be juicing'. It is sad that the world cannot embrace the fact that the Snuggie can turn anyone into the next Earl Anthony. So that is why we require the urine samples before each frame. Not each tournament, but each frame. To silence the whispers. It is a small price to pay...It was juicing that killed the Slanket Bowling League. Those poor Slanket people.'

The Snuggie converts Storm Troopers from the Dark Side to The Force. The Mime is played by Paula. The Snuggie Storm Trooper, as usual, goes uncredited.

Connie's loving daughter, Caitlin, sent in this ultra high-resolution cell phone Snuggie Zombie Sighting. Caitlin and her friends have dubbed mom the 'Snuggie Zombie'.
I'm just guessing that it will be hard to find the Snuggie Zombie section at the local Hallmark Store, come Mother's Day.
"During my Pre-Snuggie days, which I refer to as my own personal Dark Ages, the book selection at the local Goodwill consisted of multiple copies of John Grisham, and that mostly complete Encyclopedia set that I've had my eye on for the longest time. Then, I wore the Snuggie on half-price day, on the Yellow Stickered items only, mind you. And BAM! Sally Jessy Raphael's book practically lept off the shelf into my unrestricted hands...And look, I get goosebumps just thinking about it, although I'm toasty warm in my Snuggie. Here's a Yellow sticker on the spine. Half off! Coincidence?
...and get this. The title of Sally's book - "Sally: Unconventional Success". You could say the same for what I'm wearing - "Snuggie: Unconventional Success". Coincidence? Goosebumps."
We left Emilio to his shopping, who ended up taking home that 1990 Brittanica set with only the letters 'Q' and 'L' missing. Whoa - 1990 was also the year Sally's book was published. Coincidence? Goosebumps.
NOTE TO THE YOUNG AMONG US: Sally Jessy Raphael is not a lesser-known Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. She hosted a talk show in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and the book that Emilio is holding in his Snuggie hands currently ranks as the #2,573,380 best seller on Amazon.com. Sally's still making a cultural impact.

There's something in the air in Snuggie Nation. We're starting to receive photos of Snuggie Rookies wearing their Snuggies backwards. This is of great concern because when you wear your Snuggie backwards, it loses all of its special powers and is rendered an impotent, beltless bathrobe.
And was it not just a day ago that we posted the Snuggie Injury video of the young lady going Vertigo-and-Here-We-Go; all because she wore her Snuggie backwards?
The backward Snuggie trend must be stopped. I mean, come on! Even Matt Lauer figured out how to wear the Snuggie properly!
So with that said, I am creating the first ever Snuggie PSA - Friends Don't Let Friends Wear Their Snuggies Backwards

Monica lifting the maximum in her Snuggie. If she were wearing a blanket, the back of it would rip in two, from the magnitude of her Snuggie lifting power.
By day, Monica is a mild-mannered college student. But at night, when she dons the Security Blanket of the 21st Century, the Snuggie, her strength goes through the roof. It has been documented somewhere, by a realiable anonymous source, that the Snuggie is more effective than Steroids in hitting long homeruns. Seven major league teams have already changed their home uniforms to Snuggie versions. Take that, Slanket!
And of course, there are other benefits to wearing a Snuggie. When one wears the Snuggie, the rules do not apply to you. Exhibit A:
Monica can litter in her Snuggie.
You can get away with littering in a Snuggie. Everyone is so distracted by the sheer awesomeness of the Snuggie, that you can pretty much do what you want. Speaking of doing what you want, Monica wants to do the Heisman. Do the Heisman, Monica!
To all the Snuggie-Haters, talk to my Snuggie Heisman Hand
The Snuggie gives you supernatural balance, as pictured above. And did we mention that it also gives you a free pass when it comes to littering?
Tada. I\'m afflicted with the Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome and I\'m a Happy Little Litter Bug.
The Snuggie Collector - Scott sits on his Snuggie Mountain...all in Mint Condish. 3 Sherpas died last week trying to summit K-Snuggie. Scott is currently writing a book about the tragedy, entitled \'Into Thin Snuggie\'.
Imagine the Complimentary Booklights this man has! Be careful, Scott. We don't want you to get caught up in a Snuggie Avalanche. Of course, you would survive since you are wearing a Snuggie. All bets would be off if you were in a soul-crushing blanket.
