Okay, so we have seen the ridiculous labels because some consumer group got their panties in a wad and decided a warning label should be on a certain product. Well, while sitting here cruising through the SDMB I look out my window and see my nieghbor’s kids bouncing on the trampoline with popsicles sticking out of their chubby little cheeks.

**"Warning, popsicles can impale a childs eye while jumping on a bed, trampoline or sofa. It is suggested that all children wear safety glasses while consuming popsicles. Popsicle sticks can easily be inserted in a child’s nose, eat only with adult supervision."**

Any other products you think we should all have warning labels on?

We should put the following label on all firearms made- **Warning: May cause death or serious injury**. That oughtta put a stem on all these blasted shootings…

Viagra- **May cause arousal. Use with caution.**

Television- **Extremely addictive. Excessive use may result in diminished brain function, obesity, and drool stains on your shirt.**

Water- **Warning: Lethal if inhaled.**

Penises (tattoo’d on the shaft): **Caution: Accidental discharge may result in life.**
