8 Dumbass Product Warnings
OK Just as I had promised. Here is the first install (I am banking on the fact that people are just that dumb) of:
8 Dumbass Product Warnings
You know those warning on lables that make you say “What dumbass did this and made them put a warning on here about it?!”
My salute to you, the either Darwin Award canidates or soon to be’s.
8.) On an iron - “Do not iron clothes on body”
I know we have all been in a hurry before, but you deserve to be burnt for this.
7.) On a Superman costume - “Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly”
Oh come on! I thought it was the clothes that made the man! (But will you get burnt if you iron it while wearing it?)
6.) On a toilet brush - “Do not use for personal hygiene”
OH DEAR GOD! Do we really need to be warned about that? I am only hoping they were using it as a back scrubber and not a toothbrush!
5.) On a hand-blender - “Never remove food or other items from the blades while the product is is operating”
With the spinning blade hazard aside, I want to know what the “other items” are!!!
4.) On a kid’s scooter - “This product moves when used.”
Uhmm…. OK…. REALLY?!
3.) On a bottle of drain cleaner - “If you do not understand or cannot read all directions, cautions and warnings, do not use this product.”
Then how in the Hell are you supposed to understand that if you cannot read or understand the directions, cautions and warnings?!?!
2.) On a 3 pronged fishing lure - “Harmful if swallowed.”
What? They thought it would only hook fish and not people? Yea, those pointy things won’t hurt people! DUH!
1.) On a smoke detector - “It will not put out a fire.”
That is why it is called a SMOKE DETECTOR and not a FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!!!
OK, I fully admit that we all have had those moments of “duh”.
You know, those moments of “well, that was really dumb!” but you have to realize that it was your own lack of common sense at the moment, not because the manufacturer of a lawn mower did not tell you not to use it as a shaving device, that led to that moment.
Take some personal responsibility!
These are my opinions. If you don’t like them, get your own!

It’s not that they are dumbass warnings….
The scary part is that all those warnings exist for a reason….there are dumbasses out there that actually did this stuff and sued the company…this is just “insurrance” for the company.

Concerning #6…
I was at a party once and accidently walked in on a friend who was masturbating with one of those ring-type toilet scrub brushes with the stiff plastic bristles. (There was a huge amount of alcohol involved). I never did ask about the results.
