The DCist has a wonderful rant on this new fad of blankets with sleeves. Basically, the idea is you can stay warm on your couch and have your hands free to do other things like sip coffee or… wave at people? Because God forbid you take your hands out from under a real blanket. These “Slankets” are such an abomination to humanity, they are not worthy of ending in “anket.” Intelligent DCist blogger Sommer likens the blanket wearers to people who don Pajamas in airports and shorts on a second date. Spot on! I would go as far as to compare them to those jerks who take their shoes off in class or keep slippers in their offices. So help me God, I am not above throwing a Slanket in the fireplace.

Haha I saw a commercial for these at an hour when they stop playing TV shows and start screening infomercials and I was so weirded out slash seriously contemplated buying one…that’s now passed.
