Will and Guy ponder if these amusing labels have a positive or negative effect on the product concerned. Is it a case of any publicity is good publicity? Alternatively, do the silly labels make the companies a laughing stock?
Funny Label – ‘Our President is an Idiot’
Translation of the above label from French into English
This is a clothing label from a small American company that sells their product in France.
Wash with warm water.

Do not Iron
We are sorry that our president is an idiot. We did not vote for him.
Guy wondered if this funny label was part of a new marketing drive to create a DIS (respect) label. Then Will pointed out that no ‘poser’ would pay top dollar for a fashion label that nobody could see.
Another Silly Label – But Oh So True!
Wash it Again
My mother had decided to trim the household budget wherever possible, so instead of having a dress dry-cleaned she washed it by hand. Proud of her savings, she boasted to my father, ‘Just think, Ivor, we are five pounds richer because I washed this dress by hand.’
‘Good’, my dad quickly replied. ‘Wash it again.’
If You Cannot Read. Do Not Use This Product
If you do not understand, or cannot read all directions, cautions and warnings DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. (Surely one of the stupidest labels out there?)
Strange Instructions on Labels
On Boot’s Children Cough Medicine:
‘Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication’
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5 year olds with head colds off those forklifts.)
On packaging for a clothes iron:
‘Do not iron clothes on body’.
(But wouldn’t this save me more time?)
On a Myer hairdryer:
‘Do not use while sleeping’.
Danger – Do not hold the wrong end of a chainsaw
