It may look like an ordinary comforter (heck, there’s a chance that it is an ordinary comforter), but apparently the Better Marriage Blanket has a lining of carbon fabric that traps fart molecules, thereby saving your marriage. Then, when you get divorced anyway, you can wrap your spouse in the fart-loaded blanket and watch as he instantly suffocate/melts/sublimates. Just kidding.

You can order the blanket here for $40 (USD). Even if you’re not going to order, I suggest you check out the website anyway; it’s good for a couple of laughs. Here’s a testimony on the website: “It must be working because I haven’t woken myself up since I started using it! -Elena, AZ.” Elena, if your farts are so nasty that they wake you up, a comforter won’t be enough to solve your problems.

In addition to its digital alarm clock, The Wake Up offers an FM radio and an iPod dock. A substantial 20-watt amp powers the stereo system. The modern design features a removable wireless remote which can be stowed in the same place as your iPod when it’s not docked. In addition to track and volume control, the remote lets you snooze the alarm too.

The full-featured iPod dock can charge your media player while connected, and also offers a video out so you can play back your movies and shows on a nearby television.

The WakeUp comes in both black and white versions, and should hit stores before the holidays. While the North American price hasn’t been announced, it’s already selling for €130 (appx. $185) in Europe.
