#3 fjwjr ‘People who find this video beneficial are the reason we have coffee cups with "Caution! Hot liquid!" on them’.
There this is a little more to this kind of labeling.
You have coffee cups with "Caution! Hot liquid!" on them due in large part to the American legal system that permits (in many cases) unchecked limits on compensatory and liability awards, a subculture of lawyers that specialize in product liability lawsuits, and the basic litigious nature of a number of Americans. It is kind of an American thing. We dont have this problem in my country.
Anyway, many of the seemingly idiotic warnings such as ‘hot liquid’ or ‘X is not to be used for Y’ are a result of such lawsuits. Common sense warning are attached after someone lacking in common sense does something stupid and sues and wins a large settlement. And unfortunately America is the home to many of these cases. Hence we all have 27 warning stickers on our step ladders regardless of where we may live.

I suppose this is aimed at the Chinks, who in their own country basically have a free-for-all when it comes to using public transport...

#6. fjwjr ‘haven't you ever watched any FAIL videos? It seems to be universal’
Absolutely agree with you. Stupidity and lack of common sense is universal. As you said, just look at hundreds of fail vids.
But the United States stands out with respect to the amounts that juries can award with respect to compensatory damages. Tens of millions of dollars in cases where the defendant, after hurting him or herself while clearly misusing a product, sues a company for not informing him that X shouldn’t be used that way. You think common sense would prevail but American juries on occasion award ridiculous amounts. In Europe these amounts are capped. Medical malpractice is a good example. The cost to American doctors is insanely high and has forced some good GPs out of business thanks to such jury awards. Again – not possible in Europe.
