Oh. Okay.
Technical Standards (a documentation consulting company I hadn't heard of before today) has for the last few years been running a contest for the worst manual of the year. Many of the runners-up or honorable (sic) mentions are clearly victims of poor localization, and there's no way to tell if they are bad manuals in their original languages.
The runner-up for 2003, though, is a real peach. And English is (apparently) its original language.
With so many things wrong with it (in the first five pages I don't think there's a single word that isn't in full caps) it's hard to single out any one thing to slap with a dead fish. But who could possibly resist violating this particular instruction (on page 4)?
"Do not open the brain otherwise you can screw it up and you will void the warranty."
(Note that I took it out of full caps. I just couldn't stand it otherwise.)
And I wonder why people don't read the *ucking manual...
