Warning labels

[Eridanus]

Does anyone else think these are getting ridiculous?

Like the warning label on my hair dryer..."Do not use while sleeping"...I cannot COUNT the number of times I have woke up and I was doing my hair... dagnabit it I was sleep stylin again...

There is also a warning label on the Iron I have at home....it says

"Do not iron clothes while wearing them"

What really scares me about this type of warning is that one assumes someone actually DID that, thereby necessitating the attachment of the warning label.

A brand of chainsaws carries a label that says "Do not use genitals to stop chain". I mean who in their right mind is going to use their tool to stop a power tool?!

I think the fcc and cencorship is fucking rediculous

 

[Mrs Behavin]

How about: Do not spray in eyes. -- On a can of underarm deodarant

or

Do not use orally. -- On a toilet bowl cleaning brush.

or

Do not use as ear plugs. -- On a package of silly putty

Sometimes I think humans should come with their own warning labels...

Albert Einstein was on to something when he said, "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.”


A suitcase purchased once admonished that it was not approved for "shark attack and children under 5." Must have been quite a story.

You have to think about all the idiots though that would use these things in correctly in which could be dangerous to themselves or other people. It's not the company's fault some people out there are dumb as hell and don't use common sense, eh?

I said it before, I think there needs to be a general Warning label for all products

WARNING: Not for use by Stupid People.

Lol, Then if someone does something idiotic they cant sue because.. well they were being stupid and the warning sais no stupid people...
