I always thought the Mitten industry was dying because you can’t do anything with them on, not get your keys, handle money, drive a car. Plus we have long come up with the more impressive “glove” technology.

But this was the funnies thing I have ever seen, so I am happy to take the responsibility off of Gloves…..hands.

Anyone over the age of 6 wearing mittens is a sad, sad thing.

I think what the mitten industry is clearly trying to say is that the clothing industry in general is at risk for dissolving. Soon we’ll all be so fat that our mere proximity to each other will be so sweat-inducing that clothes will no longer be needed. ever. eventually, our fat heat will be so overwhelming that the heat will actually serve as a source of energy, replace fossil fuels and, in essence, save the world.
you’re welcome!

p.s. I am now wearing my ridiculous cheap gloves that I cut the tips of the fingers out of. I also bought two other pairs of gloves this season. TAKE THAT, GOVERNMENT STUDY. AND MITTEN INDUSTRY, I’M LOOKING AT YOU, TOO.

OMG, I am dying laughing at this! And I just purchased a scarf and fingerless glove/mitten set (the kind that convert; they’re the best! mittens actually keep your hands warmer, but when you can pull back the top to do things with a measure of dexterity, THAT is heaven!), so either a. I’m not a fatty… er, obese, thank you government study, as my hands are always freezing (which is just LOVELY with arthritis) or b. the government has their heads up their asses yet again. I know which one I’m betting on.

By the way, mo pie, was it you that linked to the Lee jeans giveaway? I got my winning pair yesterday and wore them today, and Oh. My. Gods. These are so damn comfortable and they look GOOD (my husband was moved to comment, which he only does if I’m at one end of the spectrum or the other). If it wasn’t you, I’m indebted to whoever DID link it, but I’m pretty sure it was you. :)

Oh this is just bullshit. Being fat doesn’t mean that you are big hot sweaty person. I am fat and I am freezing cold all the time. I run my heater at work during the summer and I am already in gloves. I would think that mittens are easier to wear because you just put your hand inside them. If the mitten business is dying, it is because mittens are pointless. You can’t grab things with mittens, or count change with them like you can do with gloves. Gloves give you more freedom and still provide warmth to all your fingers. So this fat person is going to continue with gloves instead of mittens. Death to mittens!!!!

I am fat and I LOVE mittens, I hate gloves because they just don’t keep my hands warm enough. I am 5’11 and weigh 256 and I have ice cold hands all the damn time.

In fact, at one point while helping run a fun house for some kinds with a larp group I was a part of I was dressed up and tied in a spider web, the part I played stayed still until someone tried to take a map from the web for a clue to the whole theme that was going on. I was very good at staying still and one of the parents thought I was fake even after touching my hand which incidentally was frosty cool. He kicked me in the shin thinking I was a dummy and when he took the map after kicking me and I did move promptly wet himself.

It was awesome.

But yeah, hands cold. Fat chicks need mittens too.
