Just on warning labels, they are there so you can't sue them for injury and such. Because people instatly blame the company..often to no avail.
Just like on peants, it says "WARNING: Contains Peanuts"
So that no one can get sick and sue. Becasue there is no warning, it'd be easy money. But common sense isn't worth much anymore anyway.

That's the reason I said he's too young to be playing with thoughs toys. They do indeed have a 5+ warning lable on them.

I don't doubt that but as a general rule you shouldn't leave a child that young with potentially dangerous toys unsupervised. That's like the same as leaving an infant in a bath tub alone. After a certain age they can controll themselfs better and do things without chokeing to death then it's fine. I know I stuck all kinds of small parts from toys in my mouth when I was little and my parrents still kept a watchfull eye on me even after I was 5 years old and I never chocked on a single damn thing.

WARNING: RANT AHEAD!

Truthfull it's never the toy companys fault that a child dies from playing with their product. It's some bad parrent who can't be bothered to actully watch their kid.

It's just like the McDonalds coffee cup incident. Do we really need a "Warning: Contents of glass may be HOT" lable on your coffee or is that just common sense to know that without haveing to be told.

People are just getting stupider by the day.

They'll have to start putting lables on solid foods next I'm sure. "Warning: Not for infants who have no teeth, they can't chew."

I do not feel one bit sorry for a parrent who lost their child because it chocked to death because it's painfully obvious the only reason the child chocked was because the parrent was neglecting it. I feel sorry for the child who lost it's life but not the neglecting parrents.

Well put

My second seggetion, however, is much safer.
When he dose someting like this, deprive him.
If you're on Seibertron, minimize the window.
If you're watching Transformers, turn it off.
If you're playing with your figures, put them away.

This might be more anoying than you cousin for the time being, but if you show him he dosn't get to do anything without being civil, he'll eventualy stop.
probably...

thats what i do but then he'll just hang near me and wait till i turn on tranformers or seib.

FINALLY!!!
Here I thought I was the only one.
Still it's not as bad as long mowers. It actually says this on the boxes of long mowers now
WARNING!: Do not insert genitalia while blades are in motion.
I mean it, this is real.

I never had time to choke on my Transformer missiles, I was too busy running around the house with measuring rules up my sleeves shouting; "I AM STARSCREAM! DIE AUTOBOTS! *makes Decepticon laser noise*"

Here's the way I think of it: if you're too stupid to figure this **** out, you deserve to get injured/maimed/castrated or worse. We should stop trying to protect stupid people from themselves and instead protect the rest of us from stupid people...

Okay, that is frighteningly stupid! I thought people were getting dumber by the year, but COME ON! Is that REALLY necessary? Must be, if they would waste their time sticking it there!

By the way, I LOVED that lawnmower thing and HAD to sig it!

Have you ever heared of "The Darwin Awards"?

Not really. For every one that died there are ten more who survived to commit further atrocities.

Sadly, that is the truth....for every fool that dies, there are 10 more to step up and take their place....Maybe Megatron is right..Humans DON'T deserve to live....well, some humans anyways :grin:

Sweet, you sigquoted that lawn mower genitalia line...

The thing is, those stupid enough to try frakking their lawnmowers shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

by *AUTOBOT STITH » Sun Nov 25, 2007 1:34 pm

Sorry to interupt(sp?)but on hair dryers it has a lable that says
WARNING DONT USE IN WATER.I meen come on realy who is wrighting these warning labels?

News Credits: 1 · by **Saber Prime** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 2:44 pm

I heard about something simular on chain saws where it says "Do not hold chain saw between legs while the saw in running" or something like that. Hadn't heard about the lawn mower one.

And isn't the package that says penuts allready a warning that the package contains penuts I mean what the hell do you exspect to find in the bag of penuts? I would think if they're too stupid to read the penuts lable in the first place adding a second thing that says "contains penuts" really isn't going to change anything.

I think it's just the law where they have to give allergy warnings no matter what the product is. Stupid, but that's how it goes.

OK, I can top ANY of those:

We have buckets we use to wash our floors at work with at the end of the night. On the side of one, it has a picture of a child. It says "Be careful around small children- they may fall into this bucket and drown!" And I'm thinkin' "Yeah, if said child in question was one of the Olsen Twins!" What kind of anorexic arse baby do you have to have to have it wind up upside down in a bucket full of water?

A really stupid small toddler.

I'm surprised bread doesn't come with the label "Warning, do not inhale bread" printed on all of the slices.

I love the darwin awards, they're hilarious!

Some of them are sad though. They werent' doing anything stupid really, they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I remember the guy that walked along a street and, when some guys cut a tree down and it fell across the street in front of the guy, ran right underneath it as it fell! HE ws heading to the grocers apparently.
