Sometimes, products go viral that are just too ridiculous for us to mock successfully. That’s why, in the light of the burgeoning virality of The Snazzy Napper, we’re calling upon you, our esteemed readers, to do that for us. Yup, we’re launching a parody video contest. So all you aspiring Scorseses… take a hike! This task requires an artistry far more subtle…

The Snazzy Napper is blowing up today in the wake of a CNN story in which reporter Jeanne Moos interviewed the creator, Atlanta physician Margaret Wilson, and tested out the thing on a New York City subway. How did people react? Well, considering the product is basically a blanket that you strap to your face, with shock, horror and confusion.

Confusion. That’s the feeling that the infomercial for The Snazzy Napper most readily evokes. Why? Well… it kinda looks like a Burka. Or what the Elephant Man would sadly don after yelling dramatically, “I am not an animal!” In short, the The Snazzy Napper, and its accompanying infomercial, are just ripe for parody. That’s where you come in.

We’re asking you to create a two-minute parody of the below video by Tuesday, August 31. All videos will be posted on the Mashable HQ Tumblr. The winner will be featured on Mashable, and will receive their very own Snazzy Napper (yup… I ordered one… It’s coming to my apartment now…) signed by the entire Mashable New York office.

This is your chance for viral fame folks — the likes that only Keyboard Cat and adorable dancing babies have seen. Take it. We implore you…
