Don't think the Melts could handle advisory and warning notices before a program... might need counselling.

I am not offended by these warnings, it’s an “irritations” thread, and I think the term “warning” is a bit over the top.Lolconsidering the older generation moan about "snowflakes" and get all offended by these warnings I think both generations are pretty much the same.

Yet the old government safety adverts that used to scare people off train crossings were a thing back then
Almost like every generation learns from the previous as some kind of progress

On warnings such as that above (warnings that are not about attitudes that are now considered outdated) much is now understood about psychological triggering.
So portrayals or references to such as alcoholism can be dangerous for recovering alcoholics and can trigger relapse; similarly those who have experienced or suffered domestics violence can have terrible memories brought back to the surface, and those with suicidal tendencies or who have contemplated or had the pain of experiencing it by someone close can struggle to cope.
It’s dead easy to poo-poo such warnings, even find them irritating, as they might seem sooo nanny state…but please just a moments serious thought about why they are given…

72 hour deodorants. I mean, who doesn't have a wash for 3 days ??
Are you really adding lead based paints into that list? The others, fine, but lead in paint?

I know what you mean. Washing every 3 days is almost anal. A good wipe down with a damp cloth once a week is more than adequate.

Speaking to one of our neighbours last night. She told us her husband has pancreatic cancer and has only months. 
So sad. A really nice couple with kids of 17 & 10.

Rubber bullets, water cannons and riot police ................................ where were they?
Probably not permitted anymore as it'll, no doubt, infringe the rioters human rights!!
If you throw a brick at a policeman for no reason you should .......................... oh, it doesn't matter.
