Pure Romance

Please take a look at this webpage:  Sexy Hotness Sleeping Bag


I was completely convinced that this was a joke when I first saw an advertisement for it... but alas, it is in fact real.  That Backpacker actually reviewed it is quite amusing to me, and that the reviewer seemed to take it seriously and even give it positive reviews is even more entertaining.


I can't quite decide if I think this is great or if I think it is slightly creepy.  The "subtle karma sutra embossed lining" is a tad over-the-top, and the fact that the website claims, "zippers on both sides allow you to connect as many sleeping bags together as your party requires" leaves me hoping that they're simply joking around (but if so, then why are there actually zippers on both sides??).   If nothing else, it is certainly funny to me that someone feels there is enough need in the market of outdoor gear for such a product, and that people are buying it.  


And seriously, to be honest, who wants to have sex inside a sleeping bag that promises to keep you warm in 20-degree temps?  I mean, talk about overheating.  That being said, the functionality of the leg zippers for other uses (walking around camp, using the bathroom, etc) has potential... but the karma sutra embossing just knocks it all back a notch.
