and the car commercials are the same... "trained driver on a closed course" - could someone really think differently? i think that it has to do with the dumbing down of society and the overly litigous nature of more and more people. i mean really - coffee cups with warnings on them "may contain hot beverages". that's what i paid for so it had better have a hot beverage inside!

Have you seen that Frigidaire commercial? You know, the one where the super model-y looking housewives are offing their kitchen appliances? They throw a dishwasher off a cliff and strap a washing machine to the railroad tracks.
They also show a scene where a wrecking ball smashes a refrigerator. And there's a little caption that says "do not attempt". Hmm. Definitely some sage advice. Especially for those of us who keep a 40 foot crane, equipped with a wrecking ball, amongst our household demolition equipment. I mean I know I'm supposed to be careful with that stuff but thank goodness the fine folks at the appliance company have warned me off any dangerous behavior.
