Toy plastic shield bears Gorey-esque warning from the future

Jamin sez, "This is the safety message stamped on a plastic shield we bought at Target.

I have to admit that I'm a little freaked out by it. It appears to be a warning FROM THE FUTURE!

It reads in part, "The simulated protective device was not safety device and offered no protection."

It's also sort of reminiscent of an Edward Gorey caption."
