Post: My attention has been drawn to this packaging design from HP, which presumably someone approved.
Image: In a brown cardboard box sits a shipment inside a protecting wrapper. The wrapper is illustrated with two hands with index fingers extended, indicating that you should put your fingers in the hole in the middle of the wrapper and tear it apart.

I would have trouble NOT approving this. Like an internet version of a cardinal sin
