Glasgow Business Faces Backlash Over Michael Myers Inflatable After Teen's Death

Big Duck Bathrooms in Dennistoun faced backlash for displaying a large inflatable of Michael Myers from the Halloween franchise, holding a knife and promoting low prices with the phrase 'we murder all competitors' prices.' The ad was criticized as insensitive following the alleged murder of 15-year-old Amen Teklay just days prior. Local councillor Anthony Carroll condemned the display, stating it was in poor taste given the recent tragedy and reported it to Glasgow City Council's planning enforcement team. Business owner Cornelius Kelly removed the inflatable after realizing its potential to offend, claiming he was unaware of the recent incident. He expressed regret for any upset caused and clarified that he intended it merely as a marketing tactic. The controversy adds to a series of audacious promotional stunts by the business in the community.
