People want them around the holidays because they hang their lights in the wrong direction and end up with 2 female plugs where they needed one to be male.... So the want the danger adapter because they are not wanting to take anything down

Then doesn't that just make a closed loop with no power?

So someone wires up lights around a bush or tree and one side ending in a socket is powered correctly. But they fucked up and the line to connect to it is flipped; it isn’t a pronged plug but rather another socket.

So instead of rerunning that flipped line of lights, they go cut two extension cords to create The Naughty Plug and use it to run power from the powered socketed plug to the unpowered socketed plug, leaving an energized prong plug vibing somewhere at the end of the line ready to maim, murder, or incinerate someone.
