PSA: Snuggies and driving don't mix

[thescreensavers]

Sure, the Snuggie's just tops for keeping warm while using the remote, talking on the phone, playing video games, reading a book, eating popcorn, making s'mores, or looking like a complete lunatic at your kids' soccer game, but when it comes to driving, well, it appears that's where the line has to be drawn.

So says MotherProof's Courtney Messenbaugh, who had until this assignment somehow not even heard of the media-saturated, brightly-colored fleece Jedi robe/blanket. Her job: see if the Snuggie is appropriate for driving. Her verdict, after gathering the blasted thing into the driver's seat: hell no. It may be a pop-culture phenomenon, but the Snuggie's ultimately better suited for pub crawls, not Porsches.

We need laws for things like seat belts, motorcycle helmets, and NO SMOKING signs at gas stations.

People will find all kinds of fun ways to kill or endanger themselves.

And now I guess we'll also need labels for saber saws: "NOT A SEX TOY."

99% of pop culture is fail. It all just serves to remind us how dumb we really are.
But the traffic accidents are unacceptable. We've already got enough problems with the cell phones and multimedia centers. We REALLY dont need to add this to the mix.
