We'll call these guys Fleece Angels, because it is more menacing than Hell's Angels. And what says tough guy more than a scooter? Take that, Harley! I present to you, from Fox & Friends, Snuggie Scooter Riding that I would grade as Fair...and balanced. (I'm also glad to see them ignoring the helmet laws, since the Snuggie is an Invincibility Cloak as well)

Here we have two of the Fox and Friends hosts wearing College Snuggies and riding scooters on their After the Show segment for College Colors Day. Many thanks to @foxdavebriggs for tweeting this my way. Way to rock the CU Buffs College Snuggie.
College Snuggies are available at GetCollegeSnuggies.com.
Many have wondered who is responsible for the Snuggie infomercials that have blanketed the airwaves. I see that Fred Vanore with Blue Moon Studios has been sure to upload his Snuggie work (and other As Seen on TV infomercials) on YouTube. For those of you who may have missed these recent Snuggie Commercials - here they are in all their Glory.
Update 7.24.09 - Here is the new Snuggie commercial airing across Australia right now. Watch for SnuggieSightings.com to display alongside other media appearances for the Snuggie, roughly 18 seconds into the clip.

Original Post from 7.21.09 below --
I have seen footage of the latest Snuggie commercial that is airing in Australia and am awaiting a higher quality version to post online. During the intro of the commercial, this website's domain name makes an appearance.
This is the same commercial announcing the $10 price reduction on Snuggies in Australia. I will update this post once I have the video file and approval to post it online.
One additional note - the end of the commercial voiceover states "Warming Australia, one Snuggie at a Time" - that closely resembles the tag line of this website, "Making the World a Warmer Place…One Snuggie at a Time" - Consider Mr. Snuggie Sightings honored. (Of course, I'm considering updating this site's tagline to "Blanketing the Earth...With Sleeves")
Who ever said the Snuggie resembles a choir robe? This Snuggie Choir is doing all they can to combat that crazy-headed myth by singing of their love of the Blanket with Sleeves on Australian television recently.

This is the first Snuggie Song that I'm aware of to roll in from Australia. So this is another historic moment for Snuggie Nation. Great work! It makes me want to shout Crikey!
Here's a ... different type of Snuggie parody. I suppose if Christopher McCandless, the extreme survivalist who was the subject of the 2007 film 'Into the Wild', had a Snuggie, he may have survived...or at least his rotting corpse would have been wrapped in a blanket with sleeves when it was discovered in that bus...but I digress. Much of this clip will make absolutely no sense if you are not familiar with the 'Into the Wild' story, but there are Snuggie Sightings nonetheless.

Once you go Snuggie, your life improves. This is known in Fleeced Circles as "Snug My Life"...or as the cool kids say "SML". Here's a video example, aptly titled "Everything's Better With Snuggie"

Microsoft's new search engine, Bing, has been making headlines recently as it tries to catch up to Google. They have been buying 2+ minutes worth of commercial time on various TV shows in order to run their 30 second commercial and 'give you two more minutes of what you want.'
That sounded all well and good until I saw how this was implemented. Notice in this video clip example from the Daily Show, as they cut to break, the Snuggie commercial starts and then they have the audacity to fast forward through it (and several other classic As Seen on TV gems, such as the Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter) before showing the Bing logo and getting you back to the Daily Show.

Bottom line: There is nothing on TV better than the Snuggie commercial. Nothing. If you were smart, Microsoft, you would have started your Bing commercial with one of those Apple "I'm a Mac" commercials and fast-forwarded through that. As it is, you've missed the mark by messing with our friend, the Snuggie (and even the Snuggie Diva, Jane DeNoble, who is cuddling up in her Snuggie when you hit the FF on her...the outrage!)
If Bing had pulled this stunt a few months ago, I would have missed the Snuggie commercial, and there would be no SnuggieSightings.com. Shudder.
