I'm a little bit of a disclaimer junkie. It always fascinates me to see what the lawyers for any given business feel they need to put in writing. Things like the the warning on the McDonald's Apple Pie (Warning: Contents Hot!) make me giggle, and often the side effect warnings on television DTC drug commercials are funnier than the show during which they appear.
In this spirit, I offer the disclaimer of the month. This time, it's funny on purpose. Courtesy of Mark Schubin's Monday Memo, here a disclaimer that appeared in the holiday catalog of Bjorn's, a San Antonio-based home theater retailer. Good to see that they think disclaimers are funny too:
"...TV screens are measured diagonally, and not a single photo of one in this catalog is actual size. Some models are similar to the ones illustrated, but we're still trying to
figure out which ones those are. Most HDTV's available today don't have Digital TV tuners built-in, but we weren't planning on telling you that until after you gave us your credit card. Digital TV reception varies by location. 16:9 is really wider than 4:3.... We're sorry if we haven't offended everyone equally during this overly long disclaimer.
We'll try harder next time."
Send your best disclaimers by clicking the email icon to the right, and we'll see if we can make this a semi-regular feature.
