It's not just the internet that has a way of ruining things, sometimes production houses do just fine on their own. Sometimes it's inadvertently, but mostly it's with questionable design choices that leave people giggling as they gasp in disbelief. I mean, we've all seen the disastrously funny Jesus light switch, for example, right? Undoubtably a bad concept from the get-go with its head-scratching lack of switch placement awareness, not to mention the "Honor thy Father..." quote. Welp, now Larry Harmon's beloved TV superstar, Bozo the Clown can be added to the list of "Limp OFF / Rise ON" wall applications. And yes, it's not as lined-up with the backplate imagery as the Son of God classic is, but seriously, any time you are putting a phallic shaped thang between a man's legs (or near a man's crotch area-- especially one that hangs down and then pops up when you touch it), uhhh, need I say more? Easy to install, too? Oh come on, now!

Jesus wept!
So my first thought was "I hope there's a red and white screw" and while they might not have thought of everything, they got that right.
Of course, where the red screw goes is slightly off center but hey, the thought is what counts!
At least they included a red screw to go over the nose hole.
With a little bit of creativity (albeit a slightly twisted bit of creativity) the switch that goes through the hole can be made to look like the baby Alien popping out of the clown's belly. Such a thing would be only slightly less creepy than, well, you know.
(The weird ideas that pop into my head from looking at posts on AEET and THOIA. I guess these blogs tap into the weird but entirely harmless ideas hidden in my mind, but rest assured I am harmless, no threat from harmless retired old me.)
Ha ha, "screws included"! I love the Bozo plate. The colors are flippin' great. Meanwhile I... I have trouble believing that Jesus switch plate exists unironically. That just feels like a joke somebody played on everyone.
Hard to believe it’s real, but apparently it is.
I would be very interested in a chestburster light-switch on my office wall, haha
