Warning labels
are getting increasingly surreal/stupid as companies walk in fear of lawsuits. A Michigan lobby group hands out annual awards to the most unusual of these. More weird warning labels from another lobby group. Yet more. And now, you can generate your own!
Myself, I am in favor of a universal label saying "It May Be Possible For An Idiot To Injure Themselves With This Product. Maker Reserves The Right To Laugh Ourselves Senseless."

I bought a curling iron that had a tag on the cord that warned DO NOT USE WHILE SLEEPING. I suspect that many of these warnings come from lawsuits whereby the idiot said, "There was no warning on it telling me not to do it!"

My car has a sun roof and the warning in the manual says you shouldn't stick your head through it while driving.
-
Nunia, I think you're right: the lobby group handing out the awards is an anti-abusive-lawsuit group, so it figures. SB... a warning like that could give a guy Ideas...

Dammit... I forgot to warn you all that I've been posting from a room which may contain peanuts.

Oooh, creepy! *watches more Who*

And when a warning label grows up, it becomes a warning sign.
