<div class="IPBDescription">Bizzarre, Funny, Stupid, downright pwn</div> I kind of got inspired after seeing the attached image. It has to be the singularly BEST warning I have ever seen. And no, it's not photoshop since the warning appeared on Rove Lives "What The...?" recently (and they never lie! It's all true!).

Anyway, to make a topic out of this, what is the best, or most bizzare, or funniest, or stupidest, or downright pwnage warning label that you have ever seen and why?

The one attached below is absolutely awesome because it works on so many levels. The guy that wrote it must have been bored out of his brain, or knew that almost nobody would actually READ the warning printed there. That and the more I read it the more I find it funny on so many levels.

There was also the time I found a warning not to use a hair dryer in the shower, and that toilet paper was "not to be consumed" =\

{Edit}

It helps if I attach the image too now doesnt it?

    That's what happens when you pay your Harvard educated warning label writers $1.50 an hour.

    It's not a warning label, but here ya go. This is the tag from a <i>US-made </i>laptop bag for overseas customers.

    For the non-French-speaking, the last two lines are:
    "We are sorry that our president is an idiot.
    We did not vote for him."

    Label I actually saw on the packaging for a yo-yo when I was a kid (sorry no pictures, I've since thrown it away):
    Do not decompose

    Interestingly, according to snopes the company officially said that the employrees were talking about the COMPANY president, and in France many think it is talking about Chirac.

    Edit: grah thats what I get for forgetting to read yonder second page. I have now officially joined the posters who dont read club.

    What I meant by welcome to the club is that he, like I, had obviously not read the entire topic. Thus he joins me in the people who post without reading the topic club.
