Funny But Could be Better

It may be near impossible to get a comprehensive healthcare bill through congress, but the number of idiots around forced them to pass a law requiring a warning label about using hair driers in the shower. It's a crazy world.This book shows many funny and intriguing warning labels as well as some of the stories behind them (why can't we remove the mattress tag?).Wry wit and cynicism attach these labels we take for granted (and seldom read). But I could not help think that some of the observations missed the mark a little. For instance a hair dryer has a label saying not to use it in the shower or while sleeping but fails to mention the bathtub (does that mean it is ok to use it in the tub?).But still, this is a fun book to read alone or with friends. The book even comes with a section of fake warning labels that you can apply anywhere.

Hilarious and REAL !!!!!!!

This book contains actual warning labels from a variety of productsNowadays with the number of lawsuits by inept consumers injured by certain products, manufacturers are forced to put "idiot-proof" warning labels on their products.Contains information about the famous McDonald's coffee incident and subsequent lawsuit.

For when you're having a bad day

You can't help but laugh out loud at this book. These real warnings were printed to help companies avoid lawsuits from people who think they're supposed to drink facial cleanser. How could people be so stupid?! Well, sometimes they are, and even stupider warnings try to prevent idiotic behavior. The commentary and pictures with the warnings make this book even more hilarious.The stickers are cheesy and stupid, but that doesn't detract from the book. It's funny read from cover to cover. But, if you need a quick pick-me-up, just flip to a random page for a laugh.

EXTEMELY Hilarious!

This book made me laugh out loud in ways I didn't think I could. It's a great book for anyone that has a sense of humor.

PROTECTING THE CORPORATE HIND-SIDE = A HILARIOUS READ

I can't believe that someone hadn't compiled these hysterically stupid warning labels before! This is great stuff. A MUST HAVE addition to your humor library!
