MrPlow writes in with a submission, via IRC, for SoyCow4408.

Just in time for all those holiday packages stacking up at your door, former NASA engineer Mark Rober released on Sunday a video of his new and improved "Glitter Bomb Trap 2.0" that exacts stinky, sparkle-filled revenge on porch pirates. The new trap features design upgrades and even more fart spray. Macaulay Culkin, whose character in Home Alone inspired the original viral prank, makes an appearance in the new video.

    Isn't this the same guy that faked some of his videos last year? Really can't believe he's doing this again. Yawn

    Yes the last one was fake as fuck. I knew it was fake from the start and finally the guy admitted the "thieves" were some friends of his. Everyone got paid because it pushed all the feel good buttons.

      Gotta love the US: where a vigilante with an explosive device is a feel good story!

        The guy doing this with the blank shotgun shells was the real hero.

    I think he's also the guy who spent about as much time at NASA Ames to heat up your coffee before leaving, but now he is forever branded as "former NASA engineer".

    Some of the footage was faked, without his knowledge or approval. As soon as he found out, he apologized, deleted that footage, and re-released the video.
