Worst Manual Contest

Posted by ryan at 06:05 PM in humor . | 6 Comments

Winners of the 2004 Worst Manual Contest have been announced. The winning manual, from an air conditioning unit, has some very intriguing instructions:

"Do not blow the wind to animals and plants directly. It occasionally causes a bad influence for animals and platns to be exerted."

"Please do not put the one embarrassed because it gets wet under the air conditioner."

I think babelfish could have done a better job.

Thank the lawsuits for this shit. I heard somewhere that ladders have about 50 warning and instructions! That's f'd up. But it does make for some entertaining reading.

That reminds me of a sign I once saw at a Greek restaurant in the Detroit area and I quote verbatim:

"Eating raw or undercooked me can increase the risk of foodbone illness."

It made for great hung-over laughter all through lunch.
