Weird operating instructions

My adopted brother bought me a HDMI DVD player for my birthday - a region free one, no less. What made me LMAO about it are some of the instructions in the booklet:

DO NOT TOUCH THE PLAYER WHEN THUNDERING, AVOID BEING THUNDERED.
BE CAREFUL THE NEGLECTING WILL HARM THE PEOPLE, VITALLY EVEN.
SUBTITLES: THE WORDINGS SHOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TV.

On a Korean kitchen knife:

WARNING: KEEP OUT OF CHILDREN

On a Swedish Chainsaw:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP CHAIN WITH BARE HANDS

This sort of stuff always cracks me up. www.engrish.com is a great place to find stuff in this vein.

That's almost as bad as the Turkish poster for the movie Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind that got translated as "Invisible Lunatic" in their language. I read about this one a few years back.

PLACE ONE LEG INTO EACH OF THE TWO HOLES OF THE UNDERPANTS. PULL UNDERPANTS GENTLY UPWARDS UNTIL THEY STOP.

You mean to tell me, that I've been putting them on wrong for years now?

Here's a few I've found myself...

That's the conclusion that I came to as well.

Some more from Engrish.com

On a shredder:

PLEASE KEEP CHILDREN OUT OF SHREDDER
PLEASE DON'T SPAY ANY FLAMMABLE GAS OR OIL ON THIS SHREDDER, IT MAY CAUSE A FAIR.
IF THERE IS A SMOKE OR ANY ABNORMAL SMELL HAPPEN ON THE SHREDDER, PLEASE STOP USING IT AND CUT OFF THE SHREDDER.

Also:

Do not swallow Batteries or it could make you seriously hurt blood stream, or could make your mind damaged.

Not instructions, but very

nonetheless:

Yes, acid will do that to you, be it from the local drug dealer or a battery. No to mention how it seriously hurt blood stream.

Well, they have to do that to prevent people from trying to use them UNDERWATER.

From a chainsaw: DO NOT STOP WITH HAND OR GENITALS.
