This Is Why I Hate April Fool’s Day


See this?

This is Thinkgeek’s April Fool’s Day prank — the Tauntaun sleeping bag. Please note the inside lining, which features a pattern resembling the tauntaun’s intestines, as well as the zipper which features a little blue lightsaber for you to “cut” the sleeping bag open and crawl inside.

Normally, I hate April Fool’s Day because I don’t know what to trust, and I get enough things wrong on TR without people going out of their way to trick me. But this? This makes me furious because it’s the best goddamn idea ever, and just it’s some dumb joke.

I need this sleeping bag. Everyone needs this sleeping bag. Thinkgeek, I’m calling upon you to do the right thing and call Lucasfilm and make it happen. By virtue of the several dozen tip emails I received about it, I know there’s a lot of people who would buy it, were it to actually exist. Because until you do, you aren’t being funny. You’re just bastards who are taunting us with the greatest piece of Star Wars merchandise we’ll never own.
