That rare and overpaid breed -- the people tasked with the arduous job of designing sleeping bags -- have figured out an entirely new and high-concept way to make sure your tootsies remain toasty during your next camping trip. The new Selk Bag was a huge hit at the Cologne Furniture Fair (don't ask us why this = furniture).
Clearly, this bag could come in handy should you need to trek into the woods on a frosty night to pee.
Still -- with the exception of those who've taken a vow of celibacy -- we believe this particular concept might strike some of us as having one or two minor design flaws.
Sure, you have a post about something that turns your kid into a stuffed animal. But, nothing about the Canadian election. Typical Americans!!

Canada?!
After careful consideration, we're pretty sure that the subtext is entirely about Canada.
1) We've discovered a new fashion option for the people and;
2) We attempted to criticize (obliquely, yes) their newly conservative government. In fact, the new right wing Canadian party -- in cohoots with Alito and co. -- probably commissioned this bag's design in the first place!

digg.com mentioned the selk bag yesterday. the official site is in spanish and uses flash, so you can't even get google to translate the page for you, so everybody's looking for more info on google.
