Don't Be an Idiot

I've picked up a few things lately with little parts enclosed in plastic bags. More and more, I'm seeing these warning symbols on those bags:


I don't know which one is funnier, the baby crawling along with a bag on its head, or the guy going "oh no, my head's caught in a plastic bag!" (Actually, the guy seems perilously close to demonstrating autoerotic asphyxiation for what must presumably be intended as a "family friendly" symbol. But then, I suppose they are saying "don't do this.")

It seems I'm not the only one who finds these logos preposterous. And the public opinion seems to be that the man is the funnier of the two, since you can get a coffee mug of it.
