How did i ever make it out of childhood?

>_>

Lmao at Concerned Parent #12

The whole point about ridiculous safety warnings and labels was made rather aptly by Ben Elton in his book Inconceivable, singularly one of the funniest books I've ever read.

"Lucy and I had a frozen pie for tea last night, and on the box it said 'Remove box before putting in oven'. I mean I suppose some people might make a mistake with that, but surely it's better to let them learn this one from experience else one day they'll be near a fire with some cardboard and no instructions and hurt themselves."

I actually LOL'd

And tomorrow, i plan to go out and buy the rocket launcher and shoot my other half in the back of the head with it just to see what happens :p

hrmm... maybe i should buy two!

I think its about time these people got real jobs!!!

the human race survived CENTURIES without OSH or MAF, suddenly we now cant live without either.

this world has gone to pot!

Bring back Thunderbolts and sky rockets. I remember having epic skyrocket wars in the late 70s, we had a launching station, could launch about 4 at a time and we'd fire salvos at our enemy who lived up the road (200 metres or so away). We were only 10-12 or so. No one ever got hurt - haha, we were lucky I guess.

I think the fact that all we have to worry about is a Wolverine figure these days is indicative of the reason teenage boys get in highly powered boy-racer type cars the minute they can get a loan approved. No concept of risk. You have to be exposed to stuff in order to learn about it.

Thanks W.A.T.C.H, you have informed me of these dangers in time, now i can go and exchange my Curious George book and Wolverine action figure and get something not on your list.

Perhaps Timmy would like a motorbike or a rifle for christmas, i would have never dreamed of getting them before as i thought they were unsafe but thanks to W.A.T.C.H i don't even have to worry about thinking.

Thank you perfect leader, umm sorry i meant W.A.T.C.H

/end rant

BTW i wonder if these watch guys own a toy company and these is there way of getting people to buy there toys and no one elses.

these people would have a field day at our house....... the son has a slug gun, BB gun, motorbike, a treehouse that he made - complete with the half hanging out nails. The daughter has a horse, a motorbike, a BB gun and half of the treehouse! I remember the days where we used to tie an old tyre on the back of the 4 wheeler and make tracks in the paddocks. we would see who could make someone else fall off the hardest! and then there were to doodlebangers made from a hunk of alcathene and a finger of a rubber glove and we used to shoot each other with the little pellets off the tee tree branches. times surely have changed........am im only 28!!!

Why haven't they hit lego. Surely that has hundreds of potential choking hazards per pack.

How did we ever make it out of childhood? Thank you all for bestowing upon us your infallable wisdom and relentless pursuit and outting of these hazards....... REALLY? If my children are surprised that sharp things cut, pointy things stab and hot things burn, then I have FAILED. I don't need some childless college graduate to tell me how to keep my children safe. Thanks anyway.

People like this guy need a new hobby. Should we ban trees because hundreds of children (and adults) fall out of them every year? Bicycles would be another no no. I wonder what this killjoy buys his nieces and nephews for Christmas (I'm assuming that procreation is also too dangerous). This is safety gone mad, Children need to learn that this is a risky place and care must be taken. I really fear for the children of tomorrow with no concept of consequences.
