This morning, The KingofHearts and I caught this infomercial on early morning tv that only people like us are up early enough to see. It caused no small amount of amusement and we just had to share:
I immediately said, "You too, can purchase this item which will make you look like you belong to a strange cult where people all wear Reebok tennis shoes and wait for the spaceship behind a comet to take them away from the pains and problems of earth life."
The KoH had a different take on it. His new theory is that the guys from this movie:
Weren't just mutant, telepathic humans,
holed up in an underground city,
hiding from the dreaded ape army now out to exterminate mankind...
...they're just poor victims of the recession, bent on decreasing their heating costs.
P.S. Enjoy this take on the commercial: The Cult of Snuggie

Has anyone noticed that your fourth image ("beneath_planet_apes_mutant.jpg", the shot of the single cult-ist) looks strangely like Anakin Skywalker right after Luke removed his Darth Vader helmet in "Return of the Jedi"?

@vetsac: I thought that too!

Sooooo fabulous. How many did y'all order for the football season?

Who comes up with this stuff? LOL!

I've never heard of nor seen the Snuggie commercials until you posted about it. Then, of course, last night paws and I were watching TV, and this very commercial came on... Ack!

I was just going to post that! Vetsac beat me to it.

I suddenly have this wild impulse to go and put my bathrobe on backwards.. weird.

@paws and vetsac: Well, we're in the East... sunlight reaches us first. It must be the same for infomercials.
@Christy: I ordered enough for a football team; I'm thinking of starting my own Snuggie cult.
@Joan: You're in!

Okay, that's just creepy and monastic looking. And I'm not sure long fleece robes with flowing sleeves around fire is a smart idea. I'm just sayin'...
