I won't lie when I looked at the picture first before I read the article, I thought they were going to say because :

Spoiler:

It looks like a mans head coming out of a vagina

This insanely inappropriate Halloween decoration just got pulled from the shelves

’s almost time for Halloween, which means it’s time for loads ands loads of drama regarding problematic Halloween costumes and decorations. From racist costumes to sexist costumes to just all around bad ideas, it’s the season for trick-or-treating and for the worst kind of nonsense, and this inappropriate Halloween decoration, the Scary Peeper Creeper, is seriously *so* awful.

One concerned mother and teacher spoke out against the prop sold at a Canada-based Home Depot, which is a life-like image of a hooded person staring into a window. Seriously, it’s really so absurd that someone ever thought this was a good idea.

I mean. Come on:


Breanne Hunt-Wells spoke out against the inappropriate Halloween decoration, saying,

“I fail to see the humour in it,” she said on CBC Radio’s Metro Morning. “It makes light of a very serious crime. Voyeurism is a crime in Canada.”
At the end of the day, “peeing Toms” aren’t funny. They’re freaking horrifying, especially considering that those crimes can, and do, escalate to things like assault. The under-researched crime does real damage, and decorations like this desensitize us to the issue by trying to turn it into a joke.

“This is not a harmless crime.”
Home Depot apologized, saying,

“We agree that this is not in line with our core values, and when we heard, took immediate action and are currently in the process of removing this product from our assortment.”

“We’ve reached out to advise the customer of our actions and apologize. We’re sorry for any offense that was caused.”
Hunt-Wells is relieved that Home Depot recognized the error of their ways.

“I would say to people that say ‘it’s just a joke’ there are a lot of things in our society that have been just a joke over time,” she said. “Racial jokes, cultural jokes. It takes some talking and thinking to realize that maybe we need to be more sensitive. The people that commit this crime are not harmless people.”

TG for this incredible woman for speaking up about this inappropriate Halloween decoration. So not okay.

Love em. Dressing up as a pumpkin in 2016 is tedious x

I'm guessing people put it inside their house so that it's peeking outside, rather than outside peeking in? Because I see no problem with that but obviously if people are buying them to put them up against other people's houses then it'd be a problem (but just for the very obvious grounds of intrusion and vandalism)

[Vicky.]

Don't really see the issue, but its really creepy. I would crap myself if I open ed my curtain and that was there

Every year there seems to be a new 'offensive' halloween costume story...

It's not even a costume, it's just a prop and I don't see a problem with it tbh

[Northern Monkey]

I want one!That would be funny to put up to windows when i take the kids trick or treating.Safer than the stuff we used to do with fireworks when i was a kid on Halloween and mischievous night.

[Marsh.]

It's making light of voyeurism.

But by all means wear the fake knife through head look and make light of murder.

DO THESE IDIOTS ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THEMSELVES?

[Lostie!]

At the end of the day, “peeing Toms” aren’t funny. They’re freaking horrifying

Which is exactly why they based a Halloween decoration on it. It's supposed to be creepy.

[Shaun]

I'm not sure I want to know what a peeing Tom is

[bitontheslide]

i agree that peeing Toms are very offensive ....

[Jake.]

halloween is about demons, not dressing up as fairys or cats

[jaxie]

Who's Tom?

[Livia]

"At the end of the day, “peeing Toms” aren’t funny..."

No, peeping Toms aren't funny. But you see all those other things people dress up as? Nighmarish monsters, axe murderers, flesh-eating zombies.... ****ing hilarious.

Pretty sure it's supposed to be used inside a house, looking out, to creep people out? People will get up in arms about anything these days... sigh... I envy how peaceful their actual lives must be, if they can afford to get themselves worked up about THIS sort of ****.

Pfff.... They had one of those in a Fancy Dress shop window in Sheffield last year. The trouble was I couldn't see it properly for the glare of the shop lights, unless I cupped my hands at the side of my face and pressed my face right up against the glass to peep in.
