Really? No, Really?

I just saw an insurance commercial.  It had a guy playing the part of "wind".  He was dressed in a suit, sitting up in a tree on a limb.  The limb overhung a new car.  He bounced up and down on the limb and made it break off and fall on the car.  Simulating wind and all.

Here's the "really" part.

As he did this (bounced on the limb and broke it off so that it fell on the car below), some small text popped on the bottom of the screen:

"Professional stuntman.  Do not attempt."

How far down the path of the ludicrous have we traveled that some legal department somewhere felt the need to let us know not to do that.

Thanks for the advice...I was really considering it.

I have not...why?

They come with picture warnings about how children can drown.

Haha!! (About the warning, not the drowning.)

My friend Steve had a blowgun when we were about 12. On the side, it said, "Insert dart. Inhale BEFORE placing mouth to gun. Blow."

I kid you not.
