Many thanks to Kristi for sending this Snuggie Sighting from the streets of Sydney. Look at the poor dog in that picture - I'm not sure if the Snuggie for Dogs has hit Australia yet or not. Here's the Snuggie Australia Website.
Wadrienne continues their Australian Snuggie tour with this awesome snap.
Also, here's a great video clip from A Current Affair Australia.

Snuggie fever

Original Post from 7.21.09 below --
I have seen footage of the latest Snuggie commercial that is airing in Australia and am awaiting a higher quality version to post online. During the intro of the commercial, this website's domain name makes an appearance.
This is the same commercial announcing the $10 price reduction on Snuggies in Australia. I will update this post once I have the video file and approval to post it online.
One additional note - the end of the commercial voiceover states "Warming Australia, one Snuggie at a Time" - that closely resembles the tag line of this website, "Making the World a Warmer Place…One Snuggie at a Time" - Consider Mr. Snuggie Sightings honored. (Of course, I'm considering updating this site's tagline to "Blanketing the Earth...With Sleeves")
The Snuggie continues its march toward blanketing the earth...with sleeves, hitting the Southern Hemisphere in the midst of Winter. Here are some of the first Snuggie Sightings to come in from Down Under.

Australian Snuggie BMX... You can't do this in a blanket!
(how long until Snuggie BMX is an Olympic Sport?)
Regardless of where you might find yourself on this little marble in the universe which we call Earth, you can proudly wear the Snuggie out and about.
Be sure to check out Team Crikey for more Australian Snuggie Sightings. I hear they are going to be posting updates about further features and fleecy fun with the Snuggie. Someday soon in Australia, our friend the Snuggie is going to be bigger than Crocodile Dundee.
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.
There's soon to be Australian Snuggie Sightings.
