The Canadian Flag Snuggie

I don't know if this product exists, or if anyone before me has suggested it. The Snuggie is the sweater/blanket hybrid and a home shopping sensation, turning blankets into clothes. We need these for Canadian flags. Having walked through the streets of Vancouver during the Olympics, I saw people everywhere wearing the Canadian flag. If everyone wants to do it, why not turn our flag into clothes? Then we can legislate that the first Monday of every month be decreed "wear your flag to work day".

The Prime Minister makes a statement about how Canadians should be proud of the Olympics, and suddenly he is accused of wrapping himself in the flag. In my opinion, if he is going to wrap himself in the Canadian flag, it may as well be in the form of a comfortable sweater-blanket.

  1. Couldn't you just make a Canadian flag bathrobe, and then put it on backwards? That way, sane people can wear a bathrobe, while insomniacs who watch infomercials can wear a CF Snuggie.

  2. Oh God, Google is advertising soy free cheese alternatives on my site. If that's what floats your boat...

  3. If the allergy is that bad, maybe a guy should just not eat cheese!

  4. You wrote about cozy blankets and the google bot picked a nice "cozy & safe" baby swaddlers for your page.

  5. Unless I'm mistaken, the snuggie (which looks like a bizarre cult robe) isn't a real product. GM made those ads up as part of a viral ad campaign.
