STREET BONERS and TV CARNAGE » BEWARE THE SNUGGIE BLANKET

Scam Alert!
Snuggies-The woobie that will rob you blind.
Put. Down. The. Phone. It’s just a blanket with sleeves, people. Tons of fixed income golden grahams just wanted a comfers cozy smock to keep their artificial hips warm this winter. But apparently once you get on their website, or call the 1 800 line it is impossible to get out of there without being fleeced for $100, even though they are advertised for 18.99 or some shit. In a classic bait and switcharoo they make you think you are getting a free Snuggie, but next thing you know, you’ve bought four of these backwards bathrobes and the only way to jump ship is to call your credit card company screaming STOP!!

As David Horowitz would say, “Fight back, and don’t let anyone rip you off!

HAHAHA, I’m so glad this is a scam. Even my super grandma-y grandma thought that was bullshit. The camping family in the commercial looks like a cult.

Thanks for the warning. I was going to get one because i’m super lazy and cold. But now I’ll just stick with my old fashioned blanket. I’m not joking.

seriously, if you’re cold and want sleeves, WEAR A FUCKING SWEATER. if you’re that much of an idiot to get stuck in a blanket, then you deserve to be stuck… and maybe thrown down a flight of stairs.

Or if you want a blanket with your hands sticking out of it, cut some holes in a blanket.

haha man this is the most ridiculous thing ever. I saw this on tv at like 4AM a few days ago. seriously….its just a fucking robe without a back. why not just go to the store and get a god damned robe? then at least you can get some selection, so you dont look like some death cult.

the best part was where they were wearing those fucking things at the sporting event! can you imagine seeing an entire family wearing those at a hockey game! the people wouldn’t be just sitting there next to them as if everything was normal, thats for damned sure.

Everyone in that commercial looks like the just joined a cult.

They should’ve had The Cult do the jingle.

Holy shit….even NPR was onto this story like 2 weeks ago. I realize there may be no shitty bands to plug this week, and BN just retired, but c’mon SC, get it together!

isnt a snuggie when you get your underwear yanked up your ass?

A case of the snuggies Says:

How are you suckered so easily, I was able to get only one. I tried to wear a robe backwards, it sucked, then I saw the snuggie. It’s the coolest relaxing device. I have all this oversized heavy fleece on me and my hands are mobile! I can smoke my joint, drink my sleepytime, and turn the channels with ease. Although I don’t think I’d wear it out in public.

I love these commercials. I watch them whenever possible. But what type of person is stupid and lazy enough to actually order one?

MY “CHRISTMAS GIFTS” WERE RECEIVED JANUARY 16, 2009 AND I ENDED UP WITH FOUR!I HAD ORDERED TWO ON DECEMBER 6TH — AND THE SHIPPING COST WAS AS MUCH AS ALL FOUR SCAMMIES CALLED SNUGGIES. I AM RETURNING THEM FOR FULL REFUND BUT I WAS TOLD THEY WILL NOT REFUND SHIPPING! I’M FURIOUS AND MAY NEVER ORDER ANYTHING ON LINE AGAIN….THIS IS A RIP-OFF AND THEY HAVE NOT HEARD THE LAST OF MY YET!

STREET CARNAGE is mostly a website that features street fashion critiques called STREET BONERS and compilations of bad television called TV CARNAGE. The site also has a blog, a radio show, and regularly features video shorts made by Gavin and Derrick.

STREET CARNAGE is also a live presentation you can have in your town where Gavin shows a Street Boners "Best Of" and Derrick shows his latest TV Carnage endeavors.

STREET BONERS will eventually be compiled into a huge book which will feature hundreds of pages of Boners as well as contributions from Chloe Sevigny, Debbie Harry, Fred Armisen, Tim & Eric and many more.

Derrick makes videos for various bands as well as his own movies. His most recent project is called "Cop Movie" and is comprised of about three dozen different cop movies and he also has a workout video coming out that is made up of a million disgusting workout tapes. Gavin does freelance writing for TV, film and magazines and they both do funny acting stuff as well as other hilarious video shit we'll tell you about later. They are both dicks.
