Members TownsendPLocke Posted January 29, 2009 Members Posted January 29, 2009 Wow-you know when you see one of those commercials and think to yourself"now who in their right mind would buy such a thing?' Wellllll apparently it is a HUGE business. Let's take "The Snuggie"for example.Looks pretty silly huh? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqHSIiAXdSU Belive it or not they are now BACK ORDERED it is so popular. Love the family wearing matching Snuggies at an outdoor sport events-looks like a cult Quote
Guest mineallmine Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Not only am I a member of the cult...I am the president!! Buy my Snuggie's! Quote

Snuggie Pub crawl in Chicago! http://consumerist.com/5157241/snuggie-pub...turday-april-18 Of course I have an even better Idea=A marching Kazoo Band in matching Snuggies and Turbans made of ShamWows! PS=I know this is twisted but I think Vince,the guy who hawks the ShamWow,is really hot!I just know he would be a dirty bit of business Quote

And you are a very very naughty man townie to get off on informercial hosts! Do you stay up late to catch the Thai Bo and Bo-Flex informercials? Quote
Members TownsendPLocke Posted February 21, 2009 Author Members Posted February 21, 2009 There was that Australian fella that used to hawk Shark sweepers-(I think?) but unless I am out and about I rarely stay awake long enough to watch late night TV-am I missing anything? Quote

Members nytb Posted February 21, 2009 Members Posted February 21, 2009 Vince and his ShamWow show up rather frequently on the gay cable channel LOGO and not necessarily late at night. Quote

Members RA1 Posted February 22, 2009 Members Posted February 22, 2009 I don't know why we should be surprised at Snuggies and the like selling like hot cakes. After all, we bought hula hoops and pet rocks, once upon a time. Something sort of new and different + advertising seems to catch our collective eye. I have no problem with using a Snuggie or a Slanket, after all it has been cold and I like to be warm. Best regards, RA1 Quote
Guest StuCotts Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Some down sides have emerged, but apparently it's great for those who like to talk to random strangers in the street. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/01/fashion/...tml?ref=fashion Quote
caeron Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 On the subject of the shamwow hawker, he apparently has a thing for female hookers and had a rather ugly incident that got him arrested. Don't follow the link if you're very squeamish http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years...27092sham1.html Quote
Members TownsendPLocke Posted March 29, 2009 Author Members Posted March 29, 2009 I just KNEW he would be a bit of rough trade. He needs to spend some money on a better hair colorist also. And I hope that is a hospital gown under that hidious coat-If is his own shirt the guy needs help.Welll the guy needs help anyway but I am talking fashion choices here. Quote
Members BigK Posted March 29, 2009 Members Posted March 29, 2009 He sure looks better on TV. I wonder why the police report specifies he hired "her" for straight sex? Maybe she's a he. Quote
caeron Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 He does look pretty trashy in the picture, doesn't he? I guess TV makeup can do wonders. Quote
