A world of Disclaimers

I am seeing disclaimers sprout out all over the blogosphere, like mushrooms in a damp field after a gentle summer shower. I must say I am very amused/bemused by this phenomenon.

Do I dare also suggest, for some blogsites at least, that the disclaimers are put up as a symbol of defiance rather than actual fear of threat.

The satire goes on in the form of disclaimers.


UPDATE: I would like to take this opportunity to remind exuberant disclaimer users that disclaimers do NOT automatically absolve one totally of all responsibility, especially when the disclaimer is not constructed properly and/or placed at an easily accessible portion of the site.

In the same vein, discussing of sensitive topics MAY also lead to liability even if one chooses to use masked language and innuendo – so be careful.

[What is my disclaimer doing at the bottom of the page in mock serious language then? And why am I discussing hypothetical libel suits then?]

UPDATE 2: In seriousness, do check out the Singapore Blogger's Practical Guide to Minimising the Risk of Defamation Suits at SLMJD.

Hey, I recently added a news widget from www.widgetmate.com to my blog. It shows the latest news, and just took a copy and paste to implement. Might interest you too.

As much as viagra has rescued the people from the cruel grip of erectile dysfunction it has also proved to be a curse to many because of wrong conception and wrong interpretation of its functioning. People buy viagra with the notion of having an extra erotic night without actually having the need to. Nowadays Viagra is also easily accessible and anyone can buy viagra online. In addition viagra online is more often than not cheap viagra i.e. a discounted version. People can easily get Viagra from the online pharmacies using wrong information. But in this way they will harm no one but their own selves, so it is always handy to have a clear conception of the drug one is taking.
