One Bag Of Hammers Short of a Lesson

The warning labels on things crack me up. You see some of the most ridiculous ones. I mean is it really necessary to put a warning 'Do Not Eat' on a bag of hammers? And who was the bright bulb that made the warning 'for external use only' to be placed on a curling iron? That is the truly disturbing part I think, that for every warning label out there someone as equally ridiculous caused it's existence. 'Do Not Use While Sleeping' on a hair dryer....Really??? Well darn and here I thought I could cut some getting ready time while I took a nap. "Do Not Eat Toner" on a printer cartridge...you know because I wanted a mid afternoon snack and nothing else was available in the office. Good job guys. Seriously to all of you out there that are responsible for these consumer warnings, good job! Clap, clap, clap!!!! You should all be rewarded with a swift kick in the ass. What ever happened to natural selection? In the wild these people would have fallen off of the evolutionary chain. Instead now, we are catering to these people, putting asinine warning labels on everything to protect their precious little lives. Let me pose a question to all of you out there that are not responsible for causing companies to create ridiculous labels, should we continue to protect these people? Seriously, are they really a benefit to the gene pool? Anyone ever seen the movie Idiocracy? That one hits a little too close to home when you think about some of these warning labels. With these exceptions and special circumstances being created for the dumb is it really surprising that reality TV is such a hit? Let's encourage children to have idols like Snookie, and Paris Hilton, yeah that's a great idea raise your daughters to be dumb sluts but hey at least they won't have any false expectations of meeting a intelligent kind hearted man. Nope they will grow up looking for their next baby daddy that will treat them like crap and be a firmly absent figure in their child's' life because they are just immature children themselves. Oh yeah, way to go America...we're just one bag of hammers away from a lesson.
