Here's a variety show by the Bow High School Faculty Veriety Show. Mongo Snuggie Sightings in multiple colors, locations, and languages. There's even a TeleTubbies Snuggie Sighting about 2 minutes in. These guys have obviously had fun with their Snuggies, their Green Screen, and their Groovy Video editing software.
Why were my teachers never this cool?
Here's an earlier video which goes into the origins of what this was all about. This sets up the cental question 'What would happen if the Bow High School faculty adopted the Snuggie as a uniform?' I can tell you what would happen...sheer fleecy awesomeness would ensue (and ZERO kids would drop out...I'm just sayin'). So bear with this first video - the first minute or so starts a tad slow, but it gets pretty awesome within 2 minutes
Nice work, Bow High School. May I SNUGgest that you change your school mascot to the Snuggie?
I recently wrote up how this site began, since I get that question a lot. You can go to my website devoted to Social, Viral, and Search Marketing - EngageMentality - to learn about the beginnings of SnuggieSightings.com.
This picture encapsulates what SnuggieSightings.com is all about. A picture is worth a thousand words, and there\'s some things you should not do in a blanket.
Here is Jackie O from the Kyle and Jackie O Show - Australia's #1 Radio Show. This pic came from TwitPic, where she says 'Just got sent a Snuggie, am predicting this will be fashion's hottest item. It's a blanket with sleeves.' Snuggie is now hitting Australia big, and Jackie O is going to be right. It will be the hottest fashion item for Australia, just like it is in the U.S.

Here are some useful links for our Australian Snuggie friends:
Snuggie Pub Crawls - They have swept the United States, with a crawl happening today 5/21 in Madison, Wisconsin and another on 5/23 in Rapid City, South Dakota. There are Snuggie Pub Crawls scheduled well into June, and we are in the Northern Hemisphere where it is getting quite warm. There are also crawls scheduled for this fall (New Orleans, and Atlanta soon to be added to the list). There's also a Snuggie Pub Crawl Blog for updates and news items.
Thanks to a Facebook friend, Susan, for being my eyes for this Snuggie Sighting from the recent Bay to Breakers in San Francisco. Bay to Breakers is an Annual Street Race, and there are side activities, costumes, etc. This year's event had a few warm and cozy additions to the roster:

With June fast approaching, it would probably be wise for all those engaged to register a Snuggie or two. It's the gift that keeps on giving. This video contains Custom Snuggie Sightings, with 'Bride' and 'Groom' monogrammed on them.
I know I have arrived now. The HannahE Show on YouTube has gone to the trouble of not only mocking the Snuggie, but also she can't believe such a thing as SnuggieSightings.com actually exists. And to answer your question as to who would buy one of these - 6 million and growing. Sorry, Hannah, but the Snuggie is so much more than a Backwards Bathrobe. Here's the video - (watch for the groovy graphics work...I think there are several Paint Shop Pro Sightings as well in this vid):
[This YouTube video has since been removed by its owner.]
One final note to Hannah - I am not an 'organization'. I'm one guy who is spreading the warmth...one Snuggie at a time. Thanks for visiting and seeing fit to include my site in your video. You may want to do follow up videos on how ridiculous Designer Snuggies are, or perhaps Snuggie for Kids.
If you're not careful, I am going to convert you over to the Snuggie side.
