My Disclaimer

Disclaimer, for those playing the "home game", is a notice to makes sure noone can sue the product holder if they don’t like the product. And for some reason; you cannot pop in a DVD with out a disclaimer coming up. Same goes for games, cd’s and various graphic websites – Or at least that’s what I'm told. It actually made me think if I should have a disclaimer. In Europe it’s rumored, that Americans on their microwaves have a picture of a cat (not to put in the microwave) and on that note I have one question; How does one nuke a cat?
I was on a plane recently looking out over the wing. I suddenly notice a picture signaling not to stand on the wing during take off. Why would you even put a disclaimer there? I mean there's a problem in suing for the person who stood on the wing while flying... Like he doesn't tend to be there when the plane lands again! Same goes for every time you open an email account, YouTube, Facebook and so on, you have to agree to their policies before entering - I just gotta ask; Have anybody, ever read those from beginning to end?
A great example of a good use of disclaimer, is the South Park creators. They openly say they're bad, and that their show shouldn’t be watched by anybody – It’s gotta be cool to have so much confidence in your product, that you're actually telling people not to watch it! I think one of the reasons I stopped understanding disclaimers is because I’m from Denmark in Scandinavia. Now, I’ve been to the US, and I’ve been several places in Europe, and the Americans win by miles on that scale.
Recently Danish Intelligence upped the terror threat level. Not because Denmark is powerful, not because Denmark has WMDs, but because Danes are good at drawing! - Is that something we should have a disclaimer sticker on?
So the bottom-line is: I think I should have a disclaimer, so here goes... This blog is not intended for children, people with blood pressure or any kind of compulsive disorder. If you accidentally find yourself incapable of clicking away from this site or closing your eyes please do not blame the writer. It is solely society’s fault. The writer will take no responsibility for bad dreams, laughing cramps, crying children or crazy ideas that may or may not be inspired by this blog.
Until next time

Freedom of Speech


I gotta admit, I’ve often thought about blogging – But where to start...? So I look at other blogs and I found one thing they all have in common, and people who blog always seem to wanna say something. Freedom of speech is wonderful. To paint with words, is an amazingly beautiful thing – Unless if you're Danish it can be kinda problematic.

But as mentioned, it seems like those who blog, all have something on there hearts. Which made me think; Do I have something to say...? No. But then again, I do have things to write that doesn't necessarily fit into a book or a movie script.
So I think I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try writing something seriously, something fun, and then I'm gonna try to write from the heart. Hopefully people will find it amusing, and not so much worth burning flags over.

That being said, I have some creative ideas, but if anybody have something they think I should write about, please feel free to leave a comment, and I’ll see if I can come up with something creative on the subject.

Until next time
