Who wants to bet that I'll find this?

I’m getting a Lord of the Rings ring, with the actual Elvish writing on it (One right to bind them all, one to find them all, etc).

Who wants to bet it’ll come with a warning label saying “Ring will not turn wearer invisible”?

And this is in the pit because… ?

Silver Fire: I dunno. Seemed like the best place for it.

And “right” in the OP should be “ring”.

So a mod came by, fixed a spelling error, and didn’t move this to MPSIMS? Curious. Unless I’m being transported as we speak…

Wheeeeeee!

Really?!

Are you complaining here? Maybe you’re pissed by the manufacturer’s complete lack of faith in the general public’s intelligence? I mean, really, who would need a WARNING to know that a toy isn’t really going to make one invisible?

Sorry, this seems more appropriate for MPSIMS, or even IMHO.

That said (I’m a wannabe mod, age requirements be damned), no, I don’t think you’ll see such warnings.

And no one fixed the spelling. There’s no “Edited By” tag at the bottom.

Oh, and the misspelled word is still there.

:stuck_out_tongue:

Okay, I’m leaving now.

Silver Fire, are you telling people what to do again? Tsk, tsk… silly girl. So demanding. :smiley:

Hey, Airdisc, if your ring comes with such a warning tag, can you be a dear and send it (the tag) to me? I collect things like that.

Don’t worry, the lawyers will still be able to get them for false labeling.

That “one ring” and all.

particularly if it turns your finger green.

I know, I’m sorry. I suck.

So… What’s my punishment? :wink:

A few years back I bought an old, 1960s era Lava Lamp at a flea market. This was a fancy model that included a ring of (very obviously) plastic flowers around the base. Tucked within the flowers was the original warning label:

Warning: Artificial flowers, do not water.

I forget who it is, but someone here has the wonderful signature that accompanies Superman costumes for kids: “Warning: Cape does not enable wearer to fly”.

And of course, don’t forget about the Fun Toy Banned Because of of Three Stupid Dead Kids .

I actually thought the OP was a nice gentle flame pointing out the inanities most folks have to put up with because of a few mouthbreathers (no offense to the poster who shares the name).

Didn’t they take the Creepy Crawlers toy off the market because some dumb kids cooked themselves on the hot plate? I was no child prodigy, but I recognized that that part was hot and that touching it was not smart.

I miss my Creepy Crawlers toy.

That would be your favorite poster and mine, Jack Batty!

Last year DC Comics released a $300 Kryptonite thingy. It was a big, green, crystraline, thing on a decorative base.

   Previews (for non geeks, Comic shops no longer order what they think folks'll buy. Customers order through Previews and the shops fill that order.) had an ad for the Kryptonite along with WARNING-This is only a replica. This Piece has no effect on actual Kryptonians!

OTOH- I like to call and compain.
“My lightsaber isn’t working.”
“What do you mean sir?”
“I can’t cut anything with it. The energy field is malfunctioning.”
“It’s not designed to cut things-”
“Of course it is! I saw the movies! Kenobi’s saber cut Darth Maul in half!”
etc

I love these thread about warning labels. I always get a mention.

It does wonders for my vanity searches.
