I don't see what's so bad about this? I don't like it for people's faces, but I would love to have one with my dogs on it

Yeah, my sister-in-law and her husband gave us one of these last year for Christmas. They were so excited about it. It is, without a doubt, one of the biggest wastes of money. I would rather have taken the cash equivalent. At least we could have gotten snow tires, or new lamps or something.

lol.

I'm sure someone has Obama's face on one by now.

Well I want one with the Obamas on it.

I think this thing is hillarious, though, Im sure the person that thought of it was not going for humor. I would almost get it for irony's sake but I want the stock family on it not my own.

the issue here lies in that you probably will always need a blanket.

We actually have those for sale in the photo lab of the Wal-mart I work at. No one's ever bought one.

Definitely Kitsch. Imagine giving this Christmas gift to one of your friends: a blanket embroidered with your head shot.

I agree. Tacky. But not everyone can be as hip and cool as *this*. I can see grandmas all over the country thining this as a fantasic, heartfelt idea. To each his own.

Seriously? Some of you would get that?! What happened to a good old fashioned framed photo on the mantlepiece of your loved ones.

Hmmm, wonder why Playboy hasn't caught onto this yet (or have they, wouldn't know about these types of things). Ewwww, gotta go take a shower now, later folks.

I certainly don't need it! How sad and lonely do you have to be to make something like this?

I like that people disagree with your choices.

If someone gave this to me, it would be in my top three worst gifts ever. The reason I thought the slanket was worthless is that I already own a couple of robes, ten or so sweaters and half a dozen blankets. Some combination of those have always done nicely, thank-you.

I see a whole new sexual sub culture emerging here.

Tacky, kitschy, cheesy, and yes, somewhat creepy.

I see lots of potential beyond the fake stock photo family. Imagine the fetish images you could wrap yourself in on a cold winter's night.

Gaudy. I wouldn't get it.

I'm sure the blanket will be endearing when it gets old and an imperfection appears in someone's face and you donate the blanket to a thrift shop and then some dirty old man is pleasing himself on your face every day.

Seriously, customizing products in this manner ruins their reuse value. Do it only if you plan for it to stay in the family for 100 years.

That's actually a cool idea. Nice try on attempting to come up with reasons for why this isin't cool though.. Why would spilling something on it be creepy? Creepy?
Probably a wrong choice of word there.
