Kevin Smith said it best in Dogma (and no, I don't own him either, though he seems like a really cool guy)
"Disclaimer: 1) a renunciation of any claim to or connection with; 2)a desavowal; 3) a statement made to save one's own ass.
Though it'll go without saying [this work is] not to be taken seriously. To insist that any of what follows is incendiary or inflammatory is to miss our intention and pass undue judgment; and passing judgment is reserved for God and God alone [...].
So please - before you think about hurting someone over this trifle [...], remember: even God has a sense of humor. Just look at the platypus. Thank you and enjoy [this].
P.S. We sincerely apologize to all platypus enthusiasts out there who are offended by that thoughtless comment about the platypi. We [here] respect the noble platypus, and it is not our intention to slight these stupid creatures in any way.
Thank you again [...]."
