I reckon modern society's safety standards needs something similar to the GPL-type idea. An all inclusive clause that you can just slap on stuff to protect yourself against liability ad point out to people that they're stupid.
I already have a name for it: The "Dumbass" clause. Essentially, you just make something and slap a "Dumbass Clause" sticker on it. It basically reduces the amount of explicit instructions for NOT killing/injuring yourself with household appliances.

eg: "If you die or are injured due to incorrect use of this product by NOT following the recommended instructions, you are a DUMBASS and deserve your fate."

Can you see future courtroom sagas? "No your honour, the defendant pleads not guilty for their vending machine killing the plaintiff's father as the plaintiff's father was a 'DUMBASS (TM)' and shouldn't have been rocking the damn thing." Judge:"Case dismissed. Victim was a 'DUMBASS' and the human race is better off by the fact that his genes are no longer being sown. Plaintiff will pay Defendant 񘈨 as a reward for culling off said 'DUMBASSGENES (TM)'."

Need to add

plaintiff will pay defendant 񘈨 then kill off any offspring the plaintiff may have and then kill off the plaintiff. This is to make sure that said DUMBASSGENES(tm) are completely removed from the gene pool and have no chance of propogation.

Fucking Eh!

I can remember when players started taking dives in hockey. One year some group of stupid fuckwads just started going down to draw the penalty, then the whole league was doing it. Fuck. They used to stay standing unless they absolutly couldn't, even after the meanest hits or high sticks. When the players when down and stayed down, the trainer was out there like a flash. Now every other hit the players down holding his head and play usually continues for a minute before the ref gives in and stops play. Fuck, not to mention Gary Betman (sp?) Fucking with all the rules.

4 on 4 overtimes? Wtf was that? Registered wins? Huh? Even my dad, the biggest hockey fan, can barely stand to watch it now.

When I was a kid, my family would go to my grand mother's house. My brother and I would go play and run around the entire neighborhood. It was a nice place. Crime was something that happened somewhere else. A few years ago, I rented a house 2 doors down from her house. There was a crack house across the street, someone tried to mug me 2 different times (not the same guy though) and my corner store got robbed at gunpoint 3 times in 6 months.

Other things I remember:
Turn tables
8 track tapes (Maybe I shouldn't remember that.)
Punk rock that knew what punk rock meant.
Safe sex meant a padded head board.
MTV (MUSIC Television) put MUSIC VIDEOS on TV.
Reality TV was the news.
