techmike Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 This is not really a funny topic, because it is SO scary that product warnings for stupid people now seem to be the norm. These are warnings that are in addition to the operating instructions. (I know, the stupid people don't/won't/can't read them either)My old all time favorite was a clothes iron: "Do not iron clothes while wearing them".Just bought a Sunbeam Panini Grill. I am supposed to unplug the grill before storing. Who knew?So what is your favorite warning for stupid people? There are lots of them in your firearm's manuals.....This touches on a personal rant/pet peeve - I believe the United States is actively breeding for stupidity by protecting stupid people. They used to be culled out of the breeding population, now they have uber-protected status and are multiplying out of control - like rabbits in Australia.

BulletCushion Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Gotta admit, I giggle a bit at some of the stupid person warnings on product packaging and TV ads. I do agree that we as a race would be better off to let Darwin back into the equation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMANAK Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 The true shame of it all is that we live in such a litigious society that those warnings have to be placed to prevent "idiots" from suing them. >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletCushion Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 And when they show up to court the judge should say...HERE'S YOUR SIGN!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmurff Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I saw over the weekend someone it trying to sue McDonalds again over hot coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 You mentioned McDonald's. As a parody of McDonald's "caution, contents extremely hot" warning I saw someone's cold drink cup labeled "caution, contents extremely cold".I thought it was a funny jab at both McDonald's and stupid people.
