Oh my Gawd! Watch the "mango" one right after this clip!!!

Sigh...

Morons lacking common sense get paid off for being stupid. Warning labels appear on everything now, because we don't want lawsuits.

You know why the labels "DO NOT EAT" appear on those moisture absorbing packets that come with new appliances, shoes and other sundry items?

Of course, because some moron went ahead and did it. Why would anyone eat something that they find in the plastic wrap of their new stereo?

You see an innocuous looking packet of some kind fall out of a new shoe...and your first impulse is to...eat it?

What are we? 6 month old toddlers who stick everything in our mouths?

Amy once wrote a column that started off about this: the fascinating labels on grocery store items.

Like when you buy a can of macadamia nuts and it says, "Warning: Contains nuts." Or a package of cheese that says, "Warning: Contains dairy."

It seems this woman had written her, wanting to take a break from men...so what does she do? She goes clubbing. When some drunken oaf approached her with some crude line about trying to guess her bra size, she slapped him.

Amy mused that perhaps for this woman's benefit, bars should also come with a warning label: "Contains drunks."

Give me good old days when people had to be smart to get rich. Now it pays to be stupid.

The other side of this is I can see after they label it for food preparation only -- then the CPSC & FDA writes rules & regulations that prohibit the use of a microwave for any other use. Therefore all the wraps and body warmers etc. are now illegal. Hospitals now have to go back to old tech.

I hate the "contains nuts" warning on the bag of nuts. I mean, really? You don't know there's nuts in a bag of nuts? If you're stupid enough, not to know that then I say you deserve whatever happens to you when you eat them.

Maybe we can start using these things as a form of population control. Let's remove all labels that defy common sense from everyday products and make it impossible for that type of litigation to occur. Then, after some time, the products that could cause death if you do something stupid with it have killed the stupid people (like the ones who are dumb enough to bring their tv's into the tub with them) perhaps we will start to see a decline in the population of stupid people (and frivilous and expensive lawsuits; can't sue if your dead ya know). If the stupid people aren't alive, then they can't breed more stupid people that can sue. We might be able to reclaim this planet in just a few years! I suggest we start in Washington D.C.. It's FULL of stupid people!
