    Wrong, mister Fly-off-the-handle-and-start-making-up-shit-yourself-too.

    I get that EULA corruption every time i reinstall / upgrade WoW. It happens when you run world of warcraft in wine (or winex, or cedega, or whatever you want to call it.) on a linux machine.

    You obviously have an axe to grind, but don't make up your own facts. This is a legitimate pop-up.

    I hereby invalidate your post. Better luck next time.

    I was gonna say that looked pretty much like wine/cedega. Since the game was never intended to run under linux, I don't see this as a WTF. The real WTF is that the user expected every part of the game to work perfectly on a completely different, unsupported operating system. God knows what the Warden would do about this...

    I'm still unsure about this one. I really hope its not a photoshop. But I think its entirely possible for an error with the printing process on one batch and they caught it after some had already shipped.

    I once got a bag of Dorito's in cool ranch flavor that had absolutely zero flavoring. They were just plain Tortilla chips basically. If I took a picture of it, you could easily go to their website and point out Dorito's are supposed to be a different color.

    I don't know why you would say it is! All of WoW's EULA's appear in-game only with their custom GUI.

    I guess you make these up and ignore legitimate submissions. Why? And don't tell me this was to anonymize the submission, because you used another company and made them look bad instead, potentially incurring a lawsuit.

    Why pass up true stories for fake ones, when the truth is more entertaining, when your viewers come here falsely believing they'll see the real deal, and when they submit content hoping to share it with others?

    Well, at least you're not bitter :)

    I think this company does not have their packaging pre-printed but rather, it would appear from the simplicity of them that the labels are printed on-the-fly as the product works its way through the machines. It is very easy for me to accept that there may have been a random error in one subsystem for a brief period of time that resulted in chocolate-covered SQL.

I'm KOSHER and there's a Thai curry mix that goes on and on about how it's MEAT FREE! and VEGETARIANS OK! KOSHER. I look at the (KOSHER) ingredients and the first one is lard, the second one is chicken fat. I guess if it's all dissolved it doesn't count as meat. KOSHER.

    Ha ha, very funny, but the only words jeb capitalized were quotes from the "Thai curry mix" packaging.

    tin:
    Peanut M&Ms in Australia used to have the warning that they may contain nuts. I can't remember the exact wording, but I always laughed.

    This is because, as has been mentioned, peanuts aren't nuts. If the M&Ms are produced in a factory where true nuts are also processed (e.g. hazelnuts), the manufacturer must include this warning notice, so that people who are allergic to true nuts but not peanuts will know these aren't safe.

    Actually, Blizzard have worked together with the Cedega team on several occasions to make the game work better with Cedega. They have also stated that they have nothing against anyone running WoW on Linux (however, of course, they do not support it), and the Warden doesn't mind either. (I remember there were recently some bannings of Cedega users, and Blizzard helped Cedega fix the bug causing this and unbanned the accounts)

    That reminds me of the posters Wetherspoons (that's a chain of gastropubs in the UK, for the uninitiated) had a while back advertising their weekly "Steak Club", which included a range of sauces you could order as optional extras. Next to a couple of these was a symbol meaning "suitable for vegetarians".

    The poster's designers seem to have missed the minor point that, this being a Steak Club, there were in fact no main dishes which weren't large lumps of meat.

    Though, I guess if you were a couple with only £6 between you, and one of you ate meat, the other could have the vegetables with some nice sauce...

    Um.. I think you're forgetting this isn't a website backend. Noone cares if you can inject SQL, since anyone having any kind of access to the system will probably be able to change everything anyway. I don't think the package printing device sends a HTTP request over the internet for every package - that, ofcourse, would make this method insecure - and also a whole new WTF on it's own.

    While vegetarians may include some animal products in their diet, a product that states "100% Vegetable" yet has animal products in it is wrong. It doesn't say "100% for Vegetarians." (Though I can't argue with the fact that it was possibly a simple error in translation.)
