What do ‘pajama jeans’ say about Americans?

I just heard about these things, but didn’t believe it until I looked it up on the web.

There are no words to adequately  express my horror….

From sweatpants to the Snuggie to footed pajamas, does America really need another piece of clothing to keep it warm while lazing around the house?

Yes, according to the makers of PajamaJeans, which almost seems like a hoax Saturday Night Live commercial on its Web site. A pajama seller calls them “Pajamas to live in. Jeans to sleep in.”

The recession must make people willing to spend $40 on a blanket or pair of sweats with pockets to lounge around in, and now these soft blue jeans make going outside in public a comfortable alternative.

I guess if you’re unemployed and heading out for a quick stop at the grocery store for some milk for your dinner of cereal, then I can see how going to the trouble of putting on some pants can be asking too much.

But do we really need sweatpants that look like jeans but are really pajamas? Is America that lazy? Or stupid enough to spend $40 on them?

    Horror? Is that the right word? I couldn’t believe they are $40. You know what is even more incredulous? I watched the whole commercial!

    You totally misunderstand ,young nephew, the name PAJAMA is to convey Comfort,it is just a name! I applaud the creators,the commercial is sexy and fun,the product is not being marketed to men anyway .

    I am in a wheelchair and I think that Pajama Jeans are a great invention. It is hard for my care givers to dress me everyday, but I still want to be able to look cute when I do leave the house. I am sick of wearing regular sweatpants just because they are very easy to put on me…Pajama Jeans give me more confidence!
