As I was at work the other day, I had to unpack a computer in order to set it up. While I was unpacking, I looked at the bag that the keyboard was packed in. I immediately started laughing.
This is what the bag looked like:

I had never seen these warnings before. Evidently, there was a need to create them, or they wouldn't have been created. Also, they needed to be standardized for international usage because they have no identifying language on them. However, I don't know if they convey the messages that they may have intended. Let's look at them in detail.

The first one seems to be someone holding something over his face... It looks to me to either be an homage to
Snifit or
Hexadecimal. I read it as "Do not hide your true nature from the bag". Possibly because the bag can read directly into the souls of people. Either that or this bag is not to be used by Mr. Freeze, which is understandable.

"This bag is not to be used as a safety helmet for infants"
I mean, seriously, who needs these
warnings? The same type of people who sue the chainsaw company because the safety manual didn't specifically say to keep away from exposed genitals. If people go around giving their newborns little plastic death hats, they don't deserve children. I think bash.org puts it
best.

Nice post, efficient use of links, good humour, biting tone.
Clean, concise, and to the point - a worthy rant.
Now if I ranted, instead of rambling, I'd be jealous - instead, I am proud to see such good work - kudos CuPu!
you're critiquing our posts now?
I thought you weren't allowed to use the internet.
pic 1: Beer 'monocles' are no good.
pic 2: putting bag on babys' head causes ass to become invisible.
The whole baby thing is redundant anyway. Those underdeveloped human beings are as suicidal as anyone gets. Who else would try so hard to bring themselves so much harm when his/her parents aren't looking?
The sad fact is that somewhere out in this big world is a person that needs to see those warnings.
