On the whole most of em are stupid, but as stupid as it seems, they have to print this one becuase once a young child jumped out of a hotel in New York wearing a superman costume cause he was a huge fan, he of course died and it was very tragic, now they have to print this by law.

Well it was at like 1 o'clock in the morning and his parents left the window open a tiny bit for air while sleeping I guess, and he crawled out of bed to go fly around New York.

RoguePhotonic Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 . On a New Zealand insect spray - THIS PRODUCT NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS. I don't see what is wrong with this one...it's not tested on animals...it was only tested on humans..so what's the big deal?...the spray is for humans after all.
