Disclaimers on TV Commercials


Don't 'cha just love when you see some commercial and down on the bottom of the screen (usually some legal mumbo-jumbo conjured up by fatcat coporate lawyers on retainers) are disclaimers like: "Do not attempt, closed course." or "Do not attempt, professional driver." or just "Do not attempt, dangerous"?...
I love when I see stuff like "Computer generated car and course-Do not attempt."...WTF!?!
Am I not to attempt driving a computer animated car? Am I not to attempt to animate such a scene?
Then I see some beer ad and on the bottom it reads: "Enjoyed responsibly since 1682"
Yeah, right. I can just picture some of our fore-fathers drinking this brew in moderation.
I won't even go into those prescription drug ads. ...Enough-uncle!!!

p.s.-sorry for not posting here more often...My excuse- I am either always busy or frequently lazy!
