This Week in Awesome (1/9/10)

Welcome to the first full edition of TWiA of the new year. Quite a haul for you this week:

Further mutations of the Snuggie have been sighted: now it's succeeded in growing legs! Run, run for your lives, before it's too late! (Consumerist, Racked)

Some poor fool over in the UK stuck something where it didn't belong. (The Sun [UK[ via The Awl)

The new year always brings with it a batch of dubious ads for exercise and fitness products, but this one is a little different from most (which doesn't make it any less dubious). (TV Squad)

Last week The Soup counted down its top clips of the year. One of the craziest was from a show on Discovery Health called I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant. Pretty entertaining on its own, but they added a little extra something to really make it special. (The Soup via YouTube)

And finally, there are many potential hazards to driving on the roads in California--earthquakes, mudslides, brush fires--but this is a relatively recent development brought about by the proliferation of reality shows. (Onion News Network via Fake Steve Jobs, somewhat NSFW/K)
