We occasionally feel bad for our inability to approach anything Weezer does these days without an ounce of seriousness. But then things like these come along and remind us they aren’t taking themselves seriously, so why should we?

The Weezer Snuggie (which sounds an awful lot like the first incarnation of a Weezer Snuggie) is an officially licensed Snuggie that will soon be available for purchase online at a $29.99 price that includes a copy of their new album Ratitude. And we have a feeling the overall between people still legally purchasing Weezer albums and people who would rock a Snuggie in public is actually pretty high. And it really covers the bases for the ironic crowd in the Northern states. Double win!

The Snuggification of America continues.

Rolling Stone reported late last week via their Rock & Roll Daily blog that pop titans Weezer are getting set to unleash the Wuggie, a “W”-adorned version of the inexplicably popular Snuggie.

Frontdude Rivers Cuomo described the fleeced fruits (that’s right) of the band’s collabo with the Snuggie mindtrust as “totally legit.” Maybe get ready for the breast-less Blink 182 adaptation to start making appearances sometime this summer.
