This Gears of War Snuggie looks warm photo

Thanks to sad infomercials and brilliant impact aisle placement in Wal-Marts and CVSes across North America, Snuggies are all the rage. Like a tender cotton body bag, these sensational products keep numerous (old) folks warm while watching the television or other similar immobile activities -- like hacking dudes in Gears of War.

That’s right. Check out that ten s--tloads of spectacular in the header image. Revealed in a tweet by an Epic Games PR person (via Planet Xbox 360), the world now has its first prototype Gears of War-themed Snuggie, which should be perfect for those cold nights spent with a controller, a soda, Marcus Fenix and his crew. Think about it.

[Update: This thing is a prototype -- a real thing.]

Nothing suits an overly testosterone driven masculine fantasy with dialog and story as deep as 10 loads of shit like a snuggie.

Say what you will about snuggies - they are the warmest thing ever, and perfect when playing videogames

I swore I'd never get one of those stupid things. I may have to reconsider now.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAA

Snuggies are the stupidest things ever, for old, confused grandmothers. Why the crap would they make a Gears one?

This is insane.

A snuggie is a thick winter blanket with sleeves and a hood.
All the people in the videos look like cultists.

How the fuck do those idiots manage to sell even a single snuggie, when they have commercials that fucking terrible? Who in the name of almighty fuck watches those wastes of airtime and seriously considers getting one? Their advertiser should not only be fired, but shot and have a king cobra shoved up their asses for those things. Those commercials are insulting and demeaning even to their target demographic.

Sorry about the rant. But every time I see one of those publicity disasters I wonder what could possibly inspire somebody to buy something as useless as one of those, and the only answer I can come up with is sheer idiocy.

Doesn't beat the "wild side" snuggies. Mmm, cougars in leopard blankets.

It should look like one of those Grub cocoons, complete with a half dead Dom's wife stumbling out.

A Snuggie is a bathrobe put on backwards.
