ATTN: cupcakes and furby's do NOT mix

This is serious business. I'm flying back from Melbourne last night--and because I rarely fly on airplanes I decide to read over and memorize the safety information card. One can never be too careful (especially with Qantas' luck recently). And this is what I read:

Prohibited at all times onboard the aircraft. Devices which emit electromagnetic signals such as cellular telephones, transceivers, FM/AM radios, pocket pagers, radio controlled devices, printers, television receivers, audio equipment with wireless controls, and Furby toys.

And on top of that--they had illustrations to go along with this important request--a picture of a little Furby with a big red circle and a strike through it. I mean, wow, what could a whole species of mechanical talking make-believe animals do to an airline to irk them so bad. And, is it really necessary for them to emit electromagnetic signals? Does W.A.T.C.H know about this?!
Thank you Qantas for protecting us from the evils of those malicious emitters--where would the world be without you?
