Darren throws us a nice compliment: “I consider CIDU our humor professional!
I guess there is a minor question of the text. Best I can do is:
“And this is why you never ever invest in a platypus””
Did I post this before? I thought I had, but it was still in my “to be posted” folder, and I can’t find it in recent posts. If you saw it before, you’re now seeing it again!
Comics I Don't Understand 
DVD disclaimers often include a line that interviews and commentaries “are for entertainment only”. Since there’s already an accompanying disclaimer and disavowal for anything said, it leaves one to wonder how movie people chatter can be used for anything other than entertainment, and misused at that. Did somebody get hurt after hearing how Harold Lloyd filmed “Safety Last”?
On knick knackery in stores, you often see a label reading “For decorative use only”, followed by “Not a toy” or “Not for food use”. Sometimes it makes sense, as with frail Christmas nutcrackers never intended to crack nuts. Other times it’s an affront to one’s intelligence, as with a glazed ceramic desk telephone.
Considering getting a sweatshirt designating myself as for decorative use only.
The stages of winter made me chuckle, but doesn’t accurately show winter in my current locale, as we benefit from the occasional warm front that comes over the mountains.
Are we at CIDU “humor professionals”, then?
Are we not men? We are CIDU!
(I know some of you are old enough to get that!)
I was but I devolved.
First, not all of “us” are men – or my husband would be very unhappy.
The Entertainment only disclaimers are important.
First – You may use the DVD to watch and enjoy the movie – even let your your friends and family watch it with you. You are not supposed to charge anyone to come and see it or otherwise show it to the general public, nor to rent it out to anyone for them to watch it.
Second – The disclaimer labels on products are generally to avoid lawsuits (or at least hoping not to lose any lawsuits).
If you give the item to your child and something happens – say, the child swallows a small piece which is part of the item – it is not the manufacturer’s fault that your child did so and you cannot sue them (well, you can, but should lose) as you were warned not to let the child play with it.
If the item is something which someone might think is for use other than that intended – to be way off say using a neckerchief as a bandage for an injury – and something happens – infection because it was sterilized or you tied it too tight and a limb was lost – you were warned that it was only for use as intended – ie, as neckerchief – wear to cover hair, cover face if windy, or similar. And so on. Similarly to the child swallowing a piece of the item – if the scarf is used for any of these (or other reasons) and some injury happens – it is your fault for using the item for non-listed uses and the manufacturer is not responsible.
Disagree strongly on entertainment disclaimers being important — they are, in fact, an attempt by the entertainment industry to steal your rights away. We all have Fair Use rights to use and consume copyrighted materials as we see fit, as long as we don’t engage in obvious commercial copying, but the entertainment industry would like to keep us all ignorant of this fact, so they claim more restrictions than they are actually entitled to.
