The Video Clip of their Snuggie Coverage is on Le blog de Daphné Bürki ('the Blog of Daphné Bürki' - aren't my French Translation skills impressive?) - Daphné is one of the hosts of L'EDITION SPECIALE.
About a minute into the video, SnuggieSightings.com makes an appearance on their MASSIVE monitor (I need one of those @ home).

L'edition Speciale on Canal+ (Paris, France) is set to cover the Snuggie craze tomorrow and I hear they will be showing a certain website related to the Snuggie (ahem...this one). So I am posting this now so our friends from France can find us via search when the time comes.
As far as what is happening now in the States related to Snuggie, here are the hottest items: College Snuggies - You will soon be able to wear a Snuggie for your favorite University
Snuggie Pub Crawls - Although the weather is warming, the Snuggie Pub Crawl is still going strong, with additional crawls across America scheduled well into June (as well as some being scheduled now for Fall 2009).
And to answer the inevitable question, I do not know where to buy a Snuggie in France, nor a website that can process International orders. Sorry.
Here's the latest College Snuggie Sighting - the Auburn Snuggie

Here's the latest College Snuggie Sighting! University of North Carolina Tar Heels - a College Snuggie Siesta (and yes, this is the guy who used to be on 'The Real World')

Although the OU Snuggie has appeared in previous photos, this picture is a new one to me. The Oklahoma Sooners Snuggie in all its glory, against a Pink Couch backdrop, no less.

I do not know when the College Snuggies will be available for purchase. I am hoping it will be soon, because this will make for very impressive College Snuggie Sightings. I can only imagine the possibilities.
I read a recent Tweet that athletic recruits should announce their school choice not by putting on a cap, but instead putting on the team Snuggie. I think these could also be suitable for graduation gowns. Just sayin'.
Update: Snuggie Now Available for Purchase Online in Australia
So, what's Snuggie Corp to do now that the weather is warming up here in the States? Look to the Southern Hemisphere of course, and specifically Australia.
mUmBRERLLA is reporting that the Snuggie commercial is hitting the airwaves in the Land Down Under.

Another Snuggie Sighting from The Million Snuggie Snug.
Forget the Swine Flu, the Pandemic that is sweeping the nation is the Snuggie Restless Arm Syndrome.
The More Snuggies, the More Restless the Arms.
This photo was from the Million Snuggie Snug, a Snuggie Charity event for the homeless which was held in Dallas last month. You can visit TheMillionSnuggieSnug.com to learn more about their event and cause. Many thanks to Brian and the Million Snuggie Snug crew for allowing me to post your excellent Snuggie Sightings.
Here's another Snuggie Love video. Wait for them to break out into a Snuggie Song. They are doing a video response to Tyra Banks, so that explains the 'fierce' and 'Tyra' comments:
