			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe this commercial cost $300,000 to make.  For those familiar with film making trivia, this is also the notorious shoot that claimed the lives of not one, not two, but three stunt doubles.  Apparently each person pretending to take a bullet from what should have been a gun firing blanks was instead killed by a live mortar launcher tragically mistaken for the starter pistol.</p>
<p>Other trivia facts: The actor playing the Mexican gun fighter in this commercial has an advanced robotics degree from MIT, and in fact designed and created the robot in this commercial.</p>

<p>Are you too stupid to work a blanket? When the blanket falls off of you, do you look down at it, confused as to why it&#8217;s no longer on you? Would you like the blanket to follow you around?</p>
<p><b>Ding</b> <i>A magical Snuggie appears on your body.</i></p>
<p>There, now you can do everything but go out into public.  Wait, where are you going, don&#8217;t go outside!  People will see you!</p>
<p>Other uses for the Snuggie include: Suicide cult start-up attire; shirt; dress; robe; graduation gown; bride&#8217;s maid gown; suit and tie.</p>
<p>Act now unless you are unable to extricate yourself from your current blanket.</p>
