Two moms are shown agreeing to be secretly filmed as they donned flattering disguises and strolled past their unwitting sons. After the men shout out sleazy comments, the women pull off their wigs and confront their red-faced boys with a very loud and very public rebuke. One enraged mother is seen hitting her son over the head with her handbag. The clip, created by American clothing brand Everlast, was filmed in Peru’s national capital Lima, where the company says 7 out of 10 women report being harassed in the street. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3683643/cat-callers-disguise-lima-moms-peru-sexual-harassment/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3683643/cat-callers-disguise-lima-moms-peru-sexual-harassment/"},"headline":"Watch Two Guys Appear to Get Tricked Into Catcalling Their Own Moms","datePublished":"2015-01-27T07:25:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:16:16.674Z","description":"Now, that is an awkward dinner conversation","url":"https://time.com/3683643/cat-callers-disguise-lima-moms-peru-sexual-harassment/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","World","Peru","sexual harassment","Moms"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0c161194b8565f0c/69877c0d3c16397045451687/screen-shot-2015-01-27-at-2-39-30-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Helen Regan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/helen-regan/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0c161194b8565f0c/69877c0d3c16397045451687/screen-shot-2015-01-27-at-2-39-30-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2015-01-27 at 2.39.30 PM","caption":"","creditText":"Screen grab—Metaspoon","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3683643/cat-callers-disguise-lima-moms-peru-sexual-harassment/","name":"Watch Two Guys Appear to Get Tricked Into Catcalling Their Own Moms"}}]}] ```
