> I'm trying to start a collection of stupid warnings I see in commercials. One of the ones used often is "Professional driver on closed road." Some favorites of mine:
> Do not drive on the ocean (for a car commercial where the car comes up on the ocean and makes a big splash leaving the others, presumably, drowned)
> Do not use housepaint on face (enough said)
> Don't drive like this or you'll end up like Uncle Carl (the dead-and-cremated guy in an urn in the back seat of an SUV driving maniacally up a mountain)


i always get a kick out of the "ask your doctor about. . . " drugs they advertise, like Propecia, Allegra, etc. They talk about how great the drug is, then spend about 40 seconds going over this long list of god-awful side effects. It's like a saturday night live sketch.
