Simple (Duh!) Instructions



In Honor of Stupid People . . . .


In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping.
(That's the only time I have to work on my hair.)




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




On a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
(the shoplifter special?)




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap."
(and that would be???....)




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's just a suggestion.)




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down."
(well...duh, a bit late, huh!)




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating."
(...and you thought????...)




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me time?)




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5 year-olds with head-colds off those bulldozers.)




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(...I'm taking this because???....)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only."


(as opposed to what?)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use."


(now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts."


(! talk abo ut a news flash)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."


(Step 3: say what?)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."


(I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."


(Oh my God..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is good but sad. But I will saave the political CYA speech.

On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use."


(now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)


well people could stuff other things in there to make stuff like confetti, shredded paper, popuori.... they may try turnin it into pretty much a shredder for other stuff besides food.

WOW

That was great Wild Flower--Sometimes I wonder where advertisers get their information.

Ima go out on a limb here. Since it is a JAPANESE food processor and the warning was ORIGINALY written in JAPANESE it is a miss translation. It happens a lot. To see a good example of this first hand go rent the chinese movie Ying xiong (2002), known to in the states as "Hero" and watch it with subtitles and dubbed in english. It makes an awsome movie hilarious when the both are combined. This was a pretty big movie (i think) when it came out in the US.

*Disclaimer: There is an adult section on this site that is clearly marked. You were warned.

another good way is to go to any foriegn site and have it translated. It always provides for some interesting reading material.

ROFL!!!!
Man, that last one had me laughing so hard I cried!!!

Yeah I did that a lot when I was in Japan. If you want to see something real interesting Translate from some language to english, then english back to the foreign language and back to english.

After a few runs through a translater it will make absolutely no since.

My favorite is the iron.. "do not iron clothes while on body"...
It sucks for those days when you're in a real big hurry!
