Wuggie: It’s a Weezer Snuggie!

weezer

As if Weezer fandom needed an extra dose of geekdom, the band has introduced a brand new piece of merch: the Wuggie–for all your Weezer-themed Snuggie needs! Because wouldn’t it be nice to have a fuzzy womb to crawl into while listening to Pinkerton? Even in 80 degree weather?

While the product has yet to be created, Rivers Cuomo recently told Rolling Stone, “A Wuggie is basically exactly like a Snuggie, except it says Weezer on it. The people at Snuggie are doing it with us and promoting it with us. It’s a totally legit Snuggie.” Uh, great. So Rivers and co. will be sure to maintain their all-important suburban housewife cred.

Personally, I’m not terribly bothered by the axis of Weezer-Snuggie evil. Sure, both the band and the blanket-coat-thing weird me out. But isn’t it nice to choose a side in this particularl culture war and know that the one you’re on is pretty much irreproachable?

    Well, Jens, if you were wearing your Wuggie, you’d have something to sop up the puke…you know, like a full-body baby bib.

    If you’ll give me a few minutes to dig around and find my Metallica-branded ShamWOW, I’ll send it your way momentarily.
