    What a terrible idea for a product

    It looks like a grenade. If they wanted to intentionally cause this kind of incident, they couldn’t have done a better job. The manufacturer should reimburse the city for causing the scare and wasting everyone’s time.

      100% agreed.

      I call it the “first thing you see” principle.

      When you’re driving on a dark road at night and see something with antlers, you think deer. You see a grenade-looking thing with comp b printed on it in military-style lettering, font, and color, well, that just fucking screams grenade, and the dumbasses who thought this was a good idea should be made to pay for the response.

        “When you’re driving on a dark road at night and see something with antlers, you think deer.”

        Except if you stop and get out to have a better look you realise it’s standing on two legs, has massive taloned claw hands, huge black eyes that reflect nothing, and a weird shiny red skin that looks like it’s been flayed.

        But you know, by then it’s too late to get back in the car.
