The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsHuh? What'd You Say?
That's it! We need to put warning labels on people instead of the products they buy.
Warning: dumber than they look.
Warning: stupid is as stupid does.
Warning: this person is a f*cknut. Beware.
It seems some tool is going to sue because he claims that iPods are hazardous to people's hearing.
Like he's some martyr for us all or something.
The complaint is that the iPods are
"inherently defective in design and are not sufficiently adorned with adequate warnings regarding the likelihood of hearing loss."Look, if I want to blast the sh*t out of my eardrums, then by all means, leave me be.
I admit, I'm one of those jerks who loves to pound her tunes as she drives down the street (although I'm not ignorant enough to do it at night in residential areas), and clearly I am conscious of the potential future hearing loss, and clearly I've made a choice to risk it.
I didn't need a warning label to tell me about the potential hazard of THAT situation, and people who aren't downright dumbf*cks don't need warning for THIS situation, either, even though they say there is a cautionary warning on each iPod package.
And, it seems experts agree,
"Although the iPod is more popular than other types of portable music players, its ability to cause noise-induced hearing isn't any higher."So, if the guy gets the company to reduce the decibels from 115 to 100, fine, whoopty doo, but if he profits for no reason, then scam-erama-ding-dong.

A friend of mine who claims an I.Q. of 165 wants everyone's I.Q. tattooed on their forehead so he can know at what level to talk to them.
He may be smart but his tact is somewhat limited.

This dude needs a label, or a big neon sign above his head!
I agree with Sam and Joe's friend, we need those tattoos and labels!

I think I'll sue Exxon. I don't see it say anywhere on the pumps that I'm not supposed to drink the gas.

Ok my IQ is 124 but you wouldnt know it by talking to me. With a tatoo I might be able to look in the mirror and hold a better conversation with myself.

Youb realise that if they are too stupid to know they risk their hearing, they are probably too stupid to work an i-pod, too.
Ain't Nature grand :-)
