Gotta love it! Hilarious! I can see some pistol packing fellow Texan shooting at that Fu*(er from inside the house and accidentally killing his neighbor!

Halloween, fear and guns gotta love it!

Sarcasm.

Happy Halloween!

Well you can also put it inside your home looking out at the people. We have a fake head we do that with at different times of the year.

I'm with you 100%. This is one of those instances where I could have used a font intended for sarcasm if it existed. Happy Halloween!

Quote of the day
Grown people dressing up on Halloween is more creepier than the "Peeper Creeper"

I didn't say anything about banning it.

The whole point of the thread is that North American retailer Home Depot is pulling it off the shelves, which is an effective ban and it's blowing the "problem" way out of proportion.


People use poor judgment all the time. Yet rather than banning skateboards, motorcycles, and beer, we try to teach young people how to be responsible. Obviously they don't always listen, but hopefully they learn.

Well lets be honest, this item was designed especially to use to scare people. If you watch the video, the inventor talks about how to properly use it, and it is meant to scare people in their own homes.

Not selling something isn't banning it. Not the same thing by a mile.

Go to their website, you can buy a whole variety of them http://www.scarypeeper.com

Let's not parse words....okay?

Not selling something isn't banning it, but biddies on the warpath, deciding what others should be able to purchase by complaining to merchandisers that a product is being sold, and demanding that it be removed, means to thinking people, that they WANT it banned. After all, if THEY think it's offensive, no one should be allowed to purchase it. That's the point.
