"DISCLAIMERVILLE" ...A collection of some very scary disclaimers in everyday Advertising
The Californer/10258729

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Californer -- WELCOME TO "DISCLAIMERVILLE"

Copyright 2023, by an Advertising Executive named Robert Barrows

It was another fine day in

Disclaimerville, and here are some

interesting takes on some of the disclaimers

in some of the advertising I saw and heard today…

FIRST…let it be known that

Terms and Conditions Apply…

AND… YOUR PRICE MAY VARY

AND…Before you buy….

keep in mind that

Past Performance is not a

guide to future performance!

And of course…this ad is

For Entertainment Purposes Only.

And, keep in mind that it may also be…

Sponsored Content,

or, a message from

A paid, non-attorney spokesperson,

Or…a paid celebrity endorser.

AND FOR SOME OF THE MEDICAL ADS

I SAW TODAY (while they were showing videos

of families at picnics having fun)…

I heard some side effects like…

Strokes, Heart Attacks and Deaths have occurred…

This product is Not Recommended for Children…

And…when I went to a drug store

to look for some toenail fungus medicine,

there was a disclaimer on all of

the over-the-counter boxes of toenail

medicines I saw that actually said

"Not effective on nails."

And then, on some toy ads…it said

Products may contain small parts

considered to be choking hazards…

So, please take this ad

For information and educational purposes only…

and of course…

Use at your own risk!

And, on a lighter note, from part of a

poem by an Advertising Executive

named Robert Barrows…

at least there was one disclaimer I could laugh to…

"If condition persists, consult a physician…

if boredom sets in, change your position."

SO…WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE

(or most fearful) advertising and product disclaimers?

YOU CAN ADD YOUR DISCLAIMERS HERE…

…but be careful not to step on the toes of some of your past, present, and future clients, and be careful not to betray

any of your clients, bosses

and co-workers, too…

(In short…"Don't bite the hand that feeds you.")

and I guess it's just another fine day

in Disclaimerville.
