The Bat Zapper, a Product Page for Arson by Metaphor
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
A deadpan satire of an extreme-voltage pest-control product that promises flaming wildlife, structural damage, and almost no oversight.
Field notes
The page stages a complete fake product ecosystem around a single dangerous-sounding premise: extreme voltage, instant ignition, and “angry flaming wildlife.” Its supporting apparatus includes a mission statement, a three-platform crowdfunding pitch, and a contact form that explicitly goes nowhere. The footer identifies the project as satire, so the apparent product claims are presented as jokes rather than verified capabilities.
