Many weird and whacky warnings get attached to products as a result of product liability concerns, but some of them must be generated without legal prompting:
Warning #2: Booze Blues
Seen on a Terrestrial Digital outdoor antenna: “Do not attempt to install if drunk, pregnant, or both.”
Of course, if you’re drunk and pregnant, you probably have bigger problems.
Warning #3: Three-Dimensional Danger
Seen on a Samsung 3D TV disclaimer: “Pregnant women, the elderly, sufferers of serious medical conditions, those who are sleep deprived or under the influence of alcohol should avoid utilizing the unit’s 3D functionality.”
Man, those drunk moms-to-be just can’t catch a break!
Warning #4: Options, Options
Seen on a computer software package: “Optional modem required.”
The writer’s mandatory English language class, incidentally, was not completed.
