 Thirty-one percent of online American adults have shopped online in their undies and seventy percent of those who will shop for holiday gifts between now and New Year’s Day intend to do some of their holiday shopping online, according to a new Harris poll sponsored by MSN Shopping.
The new and improved shopping service and Cedric the Entertainer called for an end to the hassles of holiday shopping, declaring Tuesday national Shop in Your Undies Day. Cedric appeared in New York’s Times Square to demonstrate that by shopping online, consumers can dress in whatever they want.
 Cedric was met by a huge crowd of fans, tourists, and native New Yorkers in Times Square. As Cedric told the crowd that MSN Shopping is the place to shop dressed in whatever they want, some fifty men and women suddenly went to just their winter coats and boxer shorts and marched through the crowded streets with Cedric singing holiday songs.
“We all know that holiday shopping can be a real hassle,” Cedric the Entertainer said. “Why would I want to deal with overcrowded parking lots and having to go from store to store to find exactly what I’m looking for, when I can kick back in my undies and get gifts for all my family and friends on MSN Shopping?”
To provide consumers with a huge selection of products, MSN Shopping has collaborated with online shopping sites. This year are seven times the number of items and thirty-five times the number of retailers over last year. Products range from popular brands and merchants to mom-and-pop retailers with one-of-a-kind products.
“MSN Shopping’s goal is to make it easy for people to find exactly what they’re looking for and get the best value,” said manager Jim Barr.
