The lighter side of government warnings

It's a good thing nobody was in the office when I read this, they would probably have thought I was crazy as I tried to stifle guffaws:

They should hire me to draw their pictures. :)

Ah sarcasm...

One of my favorite past-times.

I'm sure you could do better, Mivox, but would the opportunity for hilarious captions be as great? :)

[mivox]

Are you kidding? I could do a much better job of drawing someone on fire who's not supposed to run...

[rogerd]

Yeah, but if you drew 'em your right hand wouldn't be washing a detached left hand, and the person wouldn't be 20% taller than the door he's supposed to walk through... :)

Others have come up with yet different interpretations [kofightclub.com] of those graphics.

Another light side about government warnings.

Ready.gov has a PR 0.

I checked their robots.txt and they're disallowing a ton of content, including the text version of the web site!

If their mandate [ready.gov] is to: "to educate the public, on a continuing basis, about how to be prepared in case of a national emergency– including a possible terrorist attack."

Then how is the public going to be educated if no one can find them?

You underestimate me... hehehe. Everyone knows when you accidentally draw someone too tall for their own doorway, you just make their legs shorter to compensate. You won't have to worry about becoming an overgrown radioactive mutant... In my universe you have to worry about becoming an overgrown, stumpy-legged radioactive mutant.

Maybe I could commission my boyfriend's kids to do the pencil drawings for me, and I could just ink them.
