Warning Labels
Probably one of the biggest signs of the decline of the intelligence of the world are warning labels found on everyday products. This is also when I realize just how severe a problem Dumasaphobia was going to be. These are the very people I fear. People who need these labels on such products, because they are so stupid, that they can’t handle even the simplest of things properly.
No one will ever forget the famous “Hot Coffee” case against McDonalds. Now when you order your hot cup of morning bliss, you get a lid that tells you the “contents may be hot”.
I’ve even seen a warning label telling you to remove your child from the stroller before folding it up. If you need this kind of warning, your children should be removed from your custody and placed with a family that has a much higher I.Q. than you. You aren’t fit to be a parent. You’re not even fit to be in society.
Sure some lines have been blurred. It used to be no metal in microwave ovens, but now there are special metals that can be placed. I was shocked when my soup container asked me to remove the pull-tab metal lid and place in microwave when there is still a metal ring around the container.
Yes warning labels are important for the most part. Any smart person would read all warning labels carefully before using any product. Even if they are ridiculous. Such as:
- iPod Shuffle - Do Not Eat
- Jar of Peanuts - Warning Contains Nuts
- Poison - Do Not Injest
This list could go on for years. Which is truly sad as this generally means some idiot did just what the warning says not to do. (most likely prior to the need of such a label) In all honesty none of these kind of labels should be necessary. Even for the average Joe. Which apparently is still dumber than dirt.
Here’s some more goodies for you to enjoy.
