Cots / Film I DEMAND A TAUNTAUN SLEEPING BAG.

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 3:32 PM

This high-quality sleeping bag looks just like a Tauntaun, complete with saddle, internal intestines and glowing lightsaber zipper pull. Now when your kids tell you their favorite Star Wars movie is Attack of the Clones you can nestle the wee-ones snug in simulated Tauntaun fur while regaling them with the amazing tale of Empire Strikes Back.

SHIT YES I WOULD LIKE TO ORDER ONE! PLEASE I WILL SLEEP IN IT EVERY NIGHT!

Pardon me? What's that? What's the date, you ask? Whyever would you ask, dear sir?

So it's all a FILTHY LIE, and THIS MAGICAL SLEEPING BAG DOES NOT ACTUALLY EXIST, and TODAY IS THE WORST DAY EVER, and FUCK APRIL FOOL'S.

However! This was added to the imaginary product's page a little while ago:

ATTN Tauntaun Fanatics! Due to an overwhelming tsunami of requests from YOU THE PEOPLE, we have decided to TRY and bring this to life. We have no clue if the suits at Lucasfilms will grant little ThinkGeek a license, nor do we know how much it would ultimately retail for. But if you are interested in ever owning one of these, click the link below and we'll try!

HOORAY! LIFE IS NOT TERRIBLE AGAIN! SUICIDE AVERTED!


please make it happen George Lucas or my blood will be on your hands

That's whack that the internet led you on like that! That's one lovingly made sleeping bag. I wonder what the kid will take for it?

That is amazing, but if my kid ever said Attack of the Clones was his favorite movie, I'd probably suffocate him with the pillow.
