And I thought The Snuggie was bad.

Earlier this evening, I was innocently watching television when I saw THIS. Just to be sure it wasn't all a big joke, I called each of my roommates into the room to verify the ridiculousness. Oh, it's real alright. I thought for sure this was straight out of Provo, but then I was delighted to notice that it came from my very own hometown. As if K-Fed weren't proof enough that all good things come from Fresno, I introduce The Bumpit.

um my sister was telling me about this very thing about 15 minutes ago and she was laughing so hard i didnt fully understand it.

SERIOUSLY???? WTF? Why are the bumpits so cheap??? I NEED THEM. I can finally stop back combing my hair before i put it in a ponytail (see tonights episode of the bachelor, Melissa...she probably used the hollywood bumpit)

and get a life you "thought the snuggie was bad"? Bad for what? Getting things done AND staying warm?

this comment is long

wow..I'm just speechless. These are the kind of things I miss when I don't have T.V. Learning about the bumpit. I am lucky to have you to post this kind of stuff to remind me of the ridiculousness that is out there.

the bumpit from Fresno? While I'm here visiting I will have to be on the look out for people who apparently have missed out on what's in these days...

oh, Mitch and I were just making fun of the snuggie...the high five at the football game is the best part of the infomercial

I think dad's comment explains why mom had a blond afro in the 80's

STEVEN said...

I saw this infomercial too! I instantly started thinking about who I could buy one for.

I mentioned this in my blog as well. Doesn't seem as weird to me living in West Texas.
