American Airlines: BYOB (Bring Your Own Blanket) or pay $8 to stay warm

I remember when Air Canada started charging two bucks for a pillow back in 2005. It was in fact an inflatable pillow, and along with it you received a polyester blanket.
Beginning May 1, 2010 American Airlines is charging $8 for a blue fleece blanket and an inflatable pillow.
But apparently this is sort of old news. In February 2009, US Airways was selling a reusable blanket and pillow kit for $7. And JetBlue also started charging passengers $7 for a blanket and pillow in 2008.
Years ago, I used to laugh at the occasional trave;er who would board the plane with his/her personal bed pillow as part of the cargo. What next, passengers in Snuggies?
