Do not attempt

Toyota has a commercial where a driver pulls up to a drive-thru in an old, junky car. The person on the speaker asks, "Can I take your order?" Suddenly, a big mechanical claw drops onto the car and pulls it into the air, revealing a nice, new Toyota underneath.

If only it were that easy.

At the bottom of the screen during the commercial is the legal disclaimer: Do not attempt.

I understand that our litigious society is the reason for legal disclaimers in the first place, but what exactly do they think the viewing public will attempt?

You've been here in the US for a while. You know that some intellectually challanged individual will try to do exactly what the TV people told him to do...
