Wham-O and Dickie

The human race is bereft of sense and litigation is now as common as acne.

Dum spiro spero...

Saw mention of this on CNN this morning. I just don't think a warning label "don't try this at home" is necessary. The guy slides into a fence, for goodness sake -- the film clip even shows the young girl rolling her eyes at David Spade's stupidity. I think the clip actually teaches that only idiots would use the slip-n-slide the way "Dickie" does. Besides, adding a warning label on a filem like that is as good as saying "look kids -- this is really fun and you should try it" in my opinion.

Sheesh...if anyone is stupid enough to try it the David Spade way they really deserve any broken bones they get. Funny, funny scene, but not something anyone with *any* common sense would try at home.

(Excuse any spellllling errors...cold medicine has me leaving out verbs, punctuation, all sorts of things that I manage to catch before clicking Submit, but spelling is beyond me right now.)

if kids do this and get hurt it is called social darwinism. ;)
