I give you the Teenage Mutant Ninja Snuggie:
If I have any typos in this article or later ones, it's not my normal idiocy, it's because this thing is so fucking hideous that I had to rip out my eyeballs and throw them across the room in rage and fear and disgust. This thing hurts me worse than many FFFs, and that smug/come-hither look on this dude's face isn't helping any -- although I really shouldn't be surprised by it, since these are from Hot Topic. Also, there's no Leonardo version, which makes me inexplicably mad, since really, I should be happy that at least one Turtle isn't besmirched by this atrocity. On the plus side, this thing makes that awful Shredder hoodie look both fashionable and dignified. (Via Stupid Inventor)

Fuck, is it bad that I kind of want this thing? It's slightly badass, even though it is pretty ugly.
Dread replied to fishman2020:
Yes, it's bad that you kind of want it.
You should DEFINITELY want it.

that thing shows that the snuggies days could be numbered not to mention the turtles merch wagon seems to lost its wheels a little

I can't even focus my invective on that garbage because that model looks like such a raging douche bag.

I saw those at Hot Topic when I took my daughter there last week.

the utter eye-gouging wrongness of it makes it a work of genius.

Kill it...WITH FIRE!!

I like how they grab some hipster-looking douche to stick in it. Sorry, but even that isn't enough to lend credibility to this product, especially when what will be filling it is more likely to be a pasty and flabby white ass.

Oh no! They've skinned Donatello! RUN, TURTLES!

I hate that guys stupid face with his stupid haircut. TMNT deserve better than this damnit!
Sonya said:
I'm horrified by that guy's hair more than anything.
Lithroe replied to Sonya:
I have to agree. No man should have a haircut that looks like it was a wig that fell off of a Sear's mannequin's head.

The snuggie ain't that bad... The model on the other hand... that douchebag looking guy needs a bo staff up his ass... He's so smug there looking all: "Even with this fucking piece of shit I look THAT good!"
Bill said:
The stupid guy doesn't even look like he wants to be in it....so why would I?
rickicker said:
urge to kill...RISING!!

And the fact that they are nearly thirty dollars makes this garbage even more terrifying.
All that dude is getting for Christmas is a punch in the face.

When I see this I think, I should buy one of those for the studio and put a girl in it with nothing on under it watching cartoons on the couch and eating Captain Crunch.
Is that wrong?

ugh...
I want to push that kid down a flight of stairs.
"Wow TMNT snuggie kid...we finally made it up this aztec pryamid."
PUSH!

I love it how the model is drawing almost as much ire from readers as the item itself. The key point is that the model looks WAY too serious for such an absurd garment.
They shoulda used a slightly chubby guy with big hair and a really surprized expression on his face. With the guy above I'm not sure if they're selling to wussed-out "over-it" emos, Hardcore TMNT fans who'd buy anything TMNT, or just assholes in general.

I would TOTALLY wear one of those. Definitely.

There is a Leonardo style, because I almost bought one in-store for myself and my buddy... that and the beanies with the turtles faces... because I'm gay like that.
freetouch said:
I actually got one of these for christmas. They are seriously comfy and pretty warm. I mean, its just a blanket with sleeves.
Like you guys wouldn't want a tmnt blanket.
sashaisme said:
I'm gonna get THIS for my brother now...
Ugh, there are some things from Hot Topic that I don't like... otherwise, great store...
