Hanging Harry: The Suicidal Light Pull


From SUCK UK comes a novelty item for the more morbid of folks. Hanging Harry is a bathroom light pull you can use if you need to see the contents of your medicine cabinet. This way, when you reach for the prozac, you can remind yourself of what you would be doing if you didn't keep those brain chemicals in check.

As the SUCK designers describe it:

You can't help Harry to see the light, it's too late. Harry is already dead! But Harry can help you to switch on your lights.

So what else do you get with Hanging Harry? More than 2m of rope. In case you worry about whether you need to look in your Boy Scout book, don't worry. The noose is already tied. All you need to do is give Hanging Harry a little tug, and his silicone body will grow limp.

That's disgusting. I understand the off color humor behind a product like this but they way you are advertising it is HORRIBLE. how dare you promote suicide. I have lost family members to suicide and it NOT A JOKE

Losing a family member is horrible, but personalising a light pull is a little whacked. It doesn't promote it, nothing here says Hey, go do it. & people who are going to do it, are just going to - they don't need promotion. No one said it was a joke, either. Nobody says Ha-ha, hanging yourself is funny. It's just a little home decor novelty. You like one? Great, get one! You don't? Then don't! It's not about you, or any other victim or their family members. Get over yourself.
