Advisory warning
While browsing Chicago’s “Magnificent Mile” – a long section of Michigan Avenue lined with boutiques and other expensive stores – I stumbled across Chicago’s Apple store. I went in to use the free net access there (or here, rather) and overheard a lady complaining to a staff member about her damaged iPod. I glanced over and it was a older generation iPod with a disturbing amount of sand stuck behind the click-wheel surface and behind the display glass. I couldn’t quite catch the whole conversation between the staff member and the woman, but at one point he blurted out rather loudly, “So you want us to print an advisory warning saying not to rub sand on your iPod?!“

What’s wrong with that? Common sense and personal responsibility are way of the past. People in today’s fast-paced, helter-skelter world don’t have time to stop and think whether what they’re about to do is absurd or downright suicidal.
Hey, why does my eye hurt? I only stuck a pen in it.
Hahaha, great point. I have to agree with you on that one. May I remind people of the McDonalds Coffee Incident. Hey, if people don’t know that their coffee’s hot why should they know not to rub sand on their iPod?
It’s a sad sad world and only getting worse. ;)
and you know whos fault it is? Lawyers ;)
