Weezer Turns to Snuggie To Promote New Album

Today we received quite possibly one of the best press releases to hit our inbox in quite some time. The headline read: WEEZER INTRODUCES THEIR VERY OWN SNUGGIE- THE BLANKET WITH SLEEVES.

The release was sent by Weezer’s agency, Big Hassle, in conjunction with the band’s latest album release. Raditude. The Weezer Snuggie isn’t available yet, but the agency said, “it will be available for $29.99 for purchase online.” Blogger Marshall Kirkpatrick wonders, “People do seem more willing to buy these ridiculous blankets with arms than they are to pay for music these days. I think that’s the point.”
