Let's stamp out the evil of autoerotic asphyxiation...for the sake of the toddlers.

Clearly, I don't purchase nearly enough electrical appliances these days (a new kettle every six months doesn't really count), because somehow I managed to miss the latest wave of bizarre warning symbols to appear on the associated packaging materials.

One is reminded of Wonko the Sane

"It seemed to me," said Wonko the Sane, "that any civilization that had so far lost its head as to need to include a set of detailed instructions for use in a package of toothpicks, was no longer a civilization in which I could live and stay sane."

I'm always optimistic about the prospect of a self-selecting sample of consumers mistaking the warning notices for the instructions, and confusing "Do not" with "Do".

The results would be suitably Darwinian.

Hope springs eternal.
