What's in a label?
November 10, 2015 at 9:23 am
True story here.
Ok, many have run into labels, warnings, signs that make you say "NO SHIT" OR "DUH" or 'WTF". For example, coffee cups with the warning "contents are hot".
Ok, so after a long stint of anxiety over my house being a documentary dumpster, I got off my ass and cleaned it because I had to get my land phone/DSL fixed, which I finally did. So I go to the dollar store to get cleaning supplies and buy a couple of plastic trash cans with separate lids. The label said "Don't forget your lid". Well if the label is on the lid itself that would mean I didn't forget it. Wouldn't it make more sense to put it on the can itself?

Why be surprised?
That dollar plastic bin comes from the country that makes these!

This may be my favorite website, ever: http://www.engrish.com
It's so wrong... and sooooo right.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

The little packets of silica gel found in most electronics. "Do Not Eat" OK, I went out and bought a new stereo and said, "Hey, look. They gave me a snack". 
Now really. Anyone with half a brain would not eat that package. Now who might? Oh yeah, the little children that cannot read anyway.
