Home Depot pulls super creepy voyeuristic Halloween decoration
You know a Halloween decoration goes too far when it's likely to get the cops called on it.
Home Depot says it will remove a Halloween window decoration from its shelves following complaints that the product makes light of voyeurism.
The decoration is the fake head of a smiling hooded man, with hands cupped around the face and comes equipped with a suction cup so that it's easily fused to windows.

In the decoration manufacturer's YouTube video of the product, the head is used to prank a woman in her bedroom.
In an interview with CBC's radio Retro Morning show, shopper Breanne Hunt-Wells spotted the "Scary Peeper Creeper" product at a store in Markham, Ontario.
Hunt-Wells contacted CBC to specifically express her concerns about the product.
"I fail to see the humor in it," she said. "It makes light of a very serious crime. Voyeurism is a crime in Canada."
In a statement to CBC, Home Depot responded to the concerns.
"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."
If you want to test the limits of your friendships, the product is still available for purchase online in the U.S., as are its affiliated items, "Tapping Creeper" and "Scary Reaper Peeper."
