A five-inch fishing lure which sports three steel hooks and cautions users that it is, "Harmful if swallowed," has been identified as one of the nation's wackiest warning labels in an annual contest sponsored by a consumer watchdog group.

Well can you beat that?

I always chuckle when I read the label on my computer keyboard which says "IMPORTANT NOTICE: For comfortable and safe use, please read the Safety & Comfort Guide".

Maybe its not that funny though.

Erections lasting longer than four hours, though rare, require immediate medical attention.

Hey, no shit.

surely that would be "special attention"?

Perhaps ILX needs a few warnings about the spate of NSFW images that have popped up today, at least one of which the asshole I don't get on with in my office has seen on my screen :(

In my staff toilets:

Do not throw sanitary products down the toilet. Bins are provided for this purpose.

A newsagents near Russel Square the other day was selling miniature foam/rubber penises which, hilariously, expanded to 10 times their normal size if they became wet. These bore the instruction "do not swallow".
