Nailed it

And then there's always the epic fail.  Ignoring the words, you have to ask, where is this label going?  Stickman and triangle-wearing stickgirl specialize in gender role warnings like, "this bathroom is only for people who wear triangle dresses", since we know that all women only wear this type of clothing.  Are we saying two dimensional couples can't have more three dimensional looking babies?  Or, this product is not for use on men, women, or babies, which leaves who exactly?

Thunder thighs... Don't you dare

What is this saying?  If you have large thighs, you simply may not leave your child unattended?  I wonder if stickmen artists ever review the works of their peers.  I am recommending a study on stickman proportionality.  

Anemone anonymity

I wonder if warning label artists hope to be able to sell their work to multiple industries.  Like a stock speach or something.  This label could have carried captions like: 

"Warning sentient spaghetti".  or,
"Beware the anemone" even
"Don't handle the leeches."

When did heat become thick wavy dancing lines?...probably about the same time women became stick figures wearing triangles.

Stickmen beware

Apparently there are many ways that a dumpster can kill you.  I found all of these emblazoned on a single dumpster, I shuddered to even come near it.  The proliferation of warnings gave the impression that the dumpster just needed a small excuse to attack.

Rotunda non grata

Partly, I am exploring the reasons why I find these warnings so funny.  This one carries no small challenge to my endeavor.  Clearly they don't want heavy people on this bouncy castle, but, that's not what the warning communicates.  It actually suggests that round body types are forbidden.  How would this play out as a spoken policy?  "I'm sorry sir, you're just too round..."   Partly this is it, the multidinious ways these pictures could be misconstrued.  So this post goes out to all you round people out there, though not welcome on this ride, you will always be welcome on my bouncy castles.

Worse than electricution

This job is so hip, our hero could afford a hair style, a shirt and shoes, even if it did take a shot right in the arm pit.
