Snuggie Alert: Weezer’s New Album Release Signals Decline of Western Civilization

Centuries of struggling by artists and musicians to make a living have come to this. While the rest of the music industry is fighting to figure out how to stay viable when so much content is available for free on the internet – the band Weezer may have solved the problem.

Weezer released its latest album today, with a Snuggie. See the video below.

Fans interested in the music alone can purchase the album sans blanket-with-arms for a mere $9 on Amazon. (Update: $4 today – sale!)

It’s pretty funny, really. 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.

Thanks to Yahoo’s Christian Heilmann for bringing this to our attention.
