The Japanese Snuggie

If you're like me and hate the cold, you're probably hemorrhaging money right now to heat your house/apt...and let's be honest even with the heat on full blast you still need some extra layers and those cheap, chinese-made Snuggies just don't cut it. They are just way too thin to ward off an artic chill sent down by those good-for-nothing Canucks. Well don't despair, the Japanese have come up with a solution:

Now, aside from the fact that this guy looks like Hideki Matsui playing Billy Crystal's character from Monsters Inc. sans arms, doesn't he look pretty damn happy and warm? The Japanese Snuggie, or Juggie, as it's called in Japan, is a great alternative to winter clothing when lounging around...All they need to do is add a zipper fly (or maybe some fucking ARMS!) and they'll be in business...You can even zip up the feet and do your weird yoga on the floor (see inset picture).

If only I knew how to read Japanese, I would buy one of these immediately, if only for the sheer novelty...If anyone can read this, let me know...we could start a very lucrative import business.

Yet another innovative product the Japanese beat us to...looks like the Snuggie company is on their way to becoming the GM of the wearable blanket industry.
