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.

um…
you know what, never mind.
The seasonal Wendigo has stopped to say hello! (:
Is there a second part to the deer analogy? At first this looks like a grenade, but it turned out it was a bag dispenser.
At first it appeared to be a deer, but it turned out to be a …?
My mom confused a mailbox at night for a deer once.
I wonder if there’s any kind of regulation like with fake guns having orange tips or whatever.
