The first thing that came to mind watching this is that this package would be really useful for simulating different-sized demonstrations/protests in a given cityscape. Potentially helpful for estimating real crowd sizes of protests, e.g. what would a million women converging on the Washington Monument really look like?

(I don’t speak from direct experience.) You can’t see a mortar round coming, you just suddenly cease to exist.

So this is the original Elf on a Shelf?

I’m both a little alarmed and delighted that I have been alive this long and yet was not aware of this most awesome tradition.
Now I want 4000 murderous virtual Santas pitted against 6000 virtual psychopathic Caganers.
