1st – Lol
If everyone hates Americans and America so much, then why does the rest of the world try to emulate their lifestyle and accept their values? Why is it that I can find McDonald’s everywhere in the world? How is it that I can’t go to a bar in Europe without hearing American music? Why does the vast majority of the world willingly accept capitalism and consumerism?
And if Americans are so stupid, how are they so powerful?
And why does everyone assume that the soldier is American? He is not wearing the uniform of any branch of the US armed forces. he could be british, or australian, or canadian for all you know. Face it, y’alls is jealous
you better be joking. the american way is forced on the world, the problem is not all people see this. yes, why is it that mcdonald’s can be found everywhere? it’s a growth.
and uh…i don’t hate neither americans nor america.
ah haha are you high? look around you mate. the american way isn’t forced onto anybody and you just proved the point you were trying to disprove.
wow do you just hate everyone?
LOL. POLITICAL FAILURES (and anyone who says punctuation or
grammar fail in my writing is a failure). LOL. I think this is hilarious.
And actually, the uniform looks british which is funny cause I am british.
Maybe queenie ordered it to be done to show pr.
LOL
Nah its not the British Uniform, if it was the British Uniform it would be slightly darker and would have Brown splodges across it.
And it would have the Union Jack on the top left on his uniform, round about were his radio is.
I think its Belgium but i could be wrong.
Who is queenie??
LOL FAIL. Come on. Three times in one comment? Really? I’m sure there are more acronyms out there you could use.
sorry, i have to disagree. i live in europe now, but in america i hate the fast food chains, shitty pop music, stupid movies, etc., while people here are crazy about it all. the fact is, the americans businesses here would go out of business if the locals didn’t but their shit ALL THE TIME. no one is forced to eat at mcdonald’s here or watch the latest crap hollywood dumped out, or blare american music in their cars.
of course, all that is separate from american politics. and no, it doesn’t change the fact our country has lots of problems, such a a sucky health care system. but saying that our culture is forced on people is just a lie.
well, maybe that´s not the true but it´s a little like that.
We don´t wanna be like US (because American are all, south, center and north), but the truth is that the multinationals, the big companys are buying a lot of shops in the rest of the world to insert the us culture…
See No Logo of Naomo Klein, she can explain it better than me.
Sounds like a comment from a wannabe American… Everyone wants to be American. It’s okay. The drivel spitting out of your mouth is just something non-Americans say to not sleep in a puddle of their own tears every night.
steve, i agree. people like anonymous just make our country look retarded. if people like him werent posting such crap comments or saying this kinda stuff, we’d look ok. but anonymous is a fail, i agree with u
I agree with you guys. I hate arrogant people that boast and brag about our country that way. They don’t understand how stupid it sounds. I don’t want to sound racist or prejudice but it’s not the African Americans or Hispanics that talk like that most of the time. I can say that since I hear it every day. Also, I know that this country is not perfect…nothing is perfect.
So the cashier at McDonald’s is the one who stole your job?
He stole your piss-poor weekly paychecks?
if ($ctag = “sarcastic”) {echo “lol”;}
else {echo “EPIC FAIL!!!”}
ZIEG HEIL:)
I join the Canadian reserve force in wating you retarded american try to stole our lands, wealth and culture. I amwaiting for you with my C7 A1!
A mari Usque ad mare
Here, here! Seriously, I’d do anything to get out of America, now. I can’t stand any of the retards here… About 75% of our population…
I can’t stand the prejudices America has, but that’s bound to happen in a multicultural nation at war with another culture. Grrr…
no one’s stopping you from leaving…
You’re comment really represents the US about how much of a bully we really are. FYI people. its a FREE country without being really FREE for the US citizens…And NO everybody does NOT want to be american…I wish the people that claim to have american spirit would actually show a little bit instead of being hypocrites…So screw you, who ever you are…stop being so prejudice…stop being so much of a bully..
and you represent narrow-minded people. Congratulations… you’re sooo much better than all of us. *applause*
please keep in mind that not all Americans are like that anonymous
person, there are those out there that are stupid and arrogant, but
that doesn’t mean we all think that way.
just saying
QQ more IMO
You may be proud to be American chuckles but I sure as hell don’t won’t to be one.
Yeah… but the British Special Forces actually do something that HELPS, rather than the local American forces blowing up the nearest Allied Troop Transport and claiming it wasn’t freindly fire…
ya except that is not an American Soldier. Also, See what they do to american Civilians with a dull knife and there neck. …FAIL
orry, i have to disagree. i live in europe now, but in america i hate the fast food chains, shitty pop music, stupid movies, etc., while people here are crazy about it all. the fact is, the americans businesses here would go out of business if the locals didn’t but their shit ALL THE TIME.
lol. Anyone would go out of business if people didn’t buy what they offered, you ignorant bloke.
Amen
amen!!
ALMOST EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS FAST FOOD CHAINS SHITTY MUSIC AND STUPID MOVIES (perfect examples are in France: Quik, fast food chain; le diner de cons, movie : IT ACTUALLY MEANS THE DINNER OF IDIOTS!!) the locals aren’t forced to emulate americans but they do because for some it means a more profitable lifestyle
Heh heh “but their shit”, silly American.
I think any business anywhere would go out of business if people didn’t buy their stuff.
Agreed… forced growth… you know, like cancer. And no, I too don’t hate Americans on an individual basis… I just disagree with the whole individualistic ideology and the propagation of a culture that encourages their people reject learning from other cultures.. it breeds ignorance like this (and that’s not confines to Americans, either).
There’s a good quote hat would be very appropriate here: “”The more we know about other people, other cultures and other countries, the smarter we become, the more well-rounded we become and
the more human we become.” ~ Lisa Ling
i havent checked to see if anyones mentioned this to u befor but id jus like to piont out that mcdonalds was started my an irish man, Ronald Mcdonald, ‘MC’donald. idiot
STFU noob
*lol* only americans think that the rest of the world tries to be like them…
That is so true i almost passed out. If America is so great, then
why are there so many homeless? What’s up with the child mortality
rate? Why is it that terrorist’s get better health care than the
American rescue workers that clean up after them? And why is it
that Canadian civs are packing just as much as Americans, but
its just the Americans who kill each other? If you could kindly
explain each of these points without flipping then I may consider
some respect for you.
Congratulations on watching Bowling for Columbine.
lol, regurgitating the same old BS from Mr Moore Fail!
hahaha that was the best congrats yet.
There are homeless because of the failure of recontsruction, and that there
are still racists who provide negative stereotypes for others to feed off of
never heard that about child mortality. US doesn’t give health care because
the gov believes we shouldn’t have to pay for others if we don’t need it
ourselves, and finally there are A LOT MORE PEOPLE IN THE US than in canada
specifically in higher density areas, and no Canadians don’t pack as much.
This is my explanation without research just so you know. and sorry for bad grammar/spellin’
Because the homeless are useless and dead babies are funny. It’s fun to shoot explosive rounds into the clergy. What else needs explaining. I’m happy to help.
I will try to explain this as best I can, America is a great country except for those who
hoard money for no reason and do nothing with it, but use it for their own selfish
means, hence homeless. The Child mortality rate is the result of different people but
the same cause, they want money, the child is the only thing keeping that back
(Food, clothing, etc.) so what do they do? The health care is almost unneeded, but it is because the employers are cheap with their employees. As for the killing each other
well it is because some Americans see to many violent movies, video games, and have
a tendency to be over aggresive. But remember that not all americans fall under that category. Only a small percentage do those things and they are the only ones who actually get to the news, and never the better part of the population. Hope I helped. Turtles!
I guess you don’t get Canadian news where you’re at. The body counts might not be in the hundreds – yet – but the gun-homicide counts do seem to be going up, with a proliferation of (generally) Asian and Jamaican gangs. WHen someone talks about the “safe streets” of Canadian cities, they’re talking about a Canada maybe 20 years or so out of date. Yeah, things used to be OK, but not any more.
As for homelewssness and poverty, visit Vancouver’s East Hastings district to see the human wreckage. It’s tragic (and this place is just the worst of the worst, that I know of.) Hastings and Main is known as Wastings and Main, and homelessness and open drug use is pretty much taken for granted there. Regent Park in Toronto was once a battleground – I understand that the city had to tear it down and spread its population about the city to dilute the nastiness, though it seems to have migrated mainly to the Jane and Finch area. Calgary and Edmonton have become rather shocking, as well.
I grew up watching the Detroit news. Our news now seems like theirs of 20 years ago – but then, I’ve always said that Canadian crime trends tend to lag the Americans by about that much.
And it’s only going to get worse, especially as the demographics continue to shift due to very bad government policy.
Its not just americans that kill each other, i have friends in canada that see killings all the time, the reason why terrorists and crooked people get better health care than rescue workers is that the government has many crooked people in it and there are many many loop holes in the system to get what you want. I know my country isnt the greatest. Every country has its downfalls, some are just are more evident than others. I dont believe everyone wants to be like us either. The reason why there are so many homeless here is because most of them dont want to do what it takes to make money, they ar too stubborn and think they are too good for some low end work, they want something for nothing. Or they got injured and their company screwed them out of injury pay. I dont know if those were good answers, for god sakes im only a 25 year old war veteran. just takin a shot at it.
That’s all on it’s way out I’m afraid – McDonald’s are closing by the shedload out in in Europe. The $ is in freefall and everyone wants to be paid in €, £ or Yen – world wide the $ is fast becoming seen as less than hard currency. The general feeling in Western Europe is sympathy for the poor folk in the US. This appears to be a civilization in collapse with an uncaring Government. America looks set to be the new 3rd world and schools in Switzerland are showing video clips that show America as a nation of poor and dispossessed. Cheap for holidays and shopping though – the standard advice is just take an empty suitcase.
And the reason for the closings in Europe is because of the EU and
the exclusivity of trade rights. McDonalds have had to fork out
ten fold of how much they normally would pay for all their ingredients.
The EU is doing its best to prevent the globalisation of the world, but
all its doing is hurting their external trade relations.
I’m a proud Aussie, I eat at McDonalds (and KFC etc) often, I use my
Windows operating system, wear Australian surf brand clothes and listen
to music new and old from both Australia and elsewhere. And no matter
how much you bag the US, that’s your choice, but what in gods name
does the citizens and their culture have to do with the US anyways.
The US is just at the forefront of a new global culture. And weather you
like it or not, you’re in it. So adapt to it or you’ll just make it harder for
yourself.
Since when did the underground McDonald’s fanatics club decide to have a meeting here? Well according to my research.. at my uhh.. lab…. mcdonalds… bigmacs n gross product… trade… europe.. fail. Check the original picture, now check where the comments are. You all fail.
(hey hey mchater poster americans don’t even understand fail bmleuh comments shall follow)
Aussies rock! All power to watery borders and having weaker countries north and south.
they are proud of been americain citizen.
Maybe it is only a few like you, since most of us are pretty smart…
But anyways, ignorance is bliss, stupidity is power.
Oh a smart guy. The rest of the world doesnt want to be flooded by American stuff. We just dont have other choice. After WW2, Europe was shattered, Far East, Africa, South America were poor. And you exploited this situation to clog others when there was no competition and defense. This might be a British, but I still hate Americans. And yes, I cant live without Americans.
“Took advantage” by pouring billions into helping England and Europe rebuild, you mean? After all the billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of American lives sacrificed to save Europe and Great Britain from the Nazis?
You’re welcome.
Yeah,what US done 60 years back was actually quite helpful, but the shit you are doing now is just awful..i mean the government and army… “so if George Bush wants to end terrorism he should go ahead and kill himself”
dude, as far as i know America send their troops in much later in the war. They didn’t want to go there in the first place, the only reason that they went to war is because they were afraid of the Nazis. If Germany won then they would attack North America next.
And big deal, billions of dollars, the last time I checked the dollar was half worth a Euro.
congrats ur retarded, sure we started fighting in WW2 cuz we were afraid of the nazi’s…..pearl harbor and the thousands of US lives lost had nothing to do with it……..WW2 Fail
This is true. The US profiteered immensely off the blood, sweat and suffering of their ‘allies’ in the beginning of world war 2. The only reason they got involved was because Japan attacked the US, advertently causing a declaration of war and by virtue of the alliance Germany had with Japan, Germany also declared war on the US. The US didn’t “save the day” it was dragged into the war kicking and screaming. The US would have quite happily sat back and got filthy stinking rich off the death and destruction of their ‘allies’ had they not been forcibly drawn into the conflict. US foreign policy during ww 2 = FAIL
THIS
+ the nazi forces were already well thinned out, all troops in the east, attacking russia (+- might fail a bit geological) in which they were failing, winter, having to walk 100′s of km’s at an end.
when they arrived, they mostly had to deal with the smaller settlements, which were just to make sure everying was going well.
The US foreign policy is a FAIL altogether, regardless of time or event.
So, you mean that if I gave you billions of dollars, you wouldn’t care?
took advantage by being the second hand car salesman who indebted them – hey you need to borrow 2 billion dollars? there you go, now give us all your infrastructure. real helpful.
Yes, took advantage. Like the Chinese are doing by lending “you” money now. Don’t think they don’t do it for their of benefit. You might help, but only because “you” gain more than what you put into it.
McDonalds is a multi-national company. There are lots of them. American music is on the whole shit. People who are actually interested in music and know a little more than nothing about music would agree with my sweeping generalisation…so if you dont your not qualified to reply anyway. Um America did not invent capitalism? Um also at the moment with one British pound and i can buy whats left of New Orleans if i liked.
That soldier is American.
I dont want to live in a country that fights wars with 3rd world countries using the most technologically advanced weaponry available and still cant win? Also get an NHS and why is your election process so ridiculous?? oh and why is everyone in debt to the point where a mortgage will become legend fairly soon? Why is there still institutionalised racism in america? why is the economy so massively un-balanced that there are so many people with literally nothing to lose contributing to the highest murder rate in the world? At least my country has no parts of it without running water and a school shooting every other fortnight.
ok… not everyone is on a diet in the US… I am one of then. i just wanted to put that out there.
Congradulations on watching Bowling for Columbine.
err….they hate the people attitudes/behaviour and not the burgers or the music or the movies etc. There’s a big difference you know
Why is it you assume everyone is hating on America or Americans by posting this?
Regardless if the guy is American or not, regardless if the picture is edited and a prank, it’s shameful. I was born and raised in America and served in the US Military. Therefore, I have every right to make the following statement.
To those of you outside our country, please FORGIVE us. We are not all like this. I’m truely sorry for what our government has, is and will do in the name of supposed freedom. We are an oppressed people living in a police state and most DO NOT support the actions of our government.
Thank you for realizing and regretting
did you just call the americans an opressed people? wow you are stupid……
great comment. much respect to you.
Hell, you voted for it. And you don’t speak for most of us. I support it. Go ahead, flame me all you want. I’m happy the way I live. I like paying taxes to bomb third world countries back into the stone age. Don’t forgive us, hate us. You’re providing me entertainment.
Anon = complete fail at understanding why US is unpopular.
Stop screaming in pain because US government and army activity has made u unpopular worldwide. Some people like the American way of life, some like to consume like Americans, many people dislike the fact that there are GIs squatting in their country permanently (c.135 nations currently).
There are many genuine pictures of this sort – and part of your fail is that u don’t u’stand that ppl read the sign, and then can readily identify the soldier as being American BEFORE having to look for any military insignia. Sadly, they are usually right. Maybe it wasn’t Americans who later transformed this into an i’net meme, but putting money on that = trying for fail.
Massive worldwide PR fail.
thats just funny “”then why does the rest of the world try to emulate their lifestyle and accept their values? Why is it that I can find McDonald’s everywhere in the world?,” LMFAO AT USING MACDONALDS FOR AN EXAMPLE
i wish if you were going to defend your country you would give a better example then macdonalds not all of us europeans base our lifestyles on the american way! of macdonalds . like come on are you for real what values does the macdonalds give to americans . As for american music what the hell???? how many european bars have you been too probably went to an american one
)
I’m sorry..were you trying to say that Americans have values….?
your comments are why we hate americans
He has to be American, he looks stupid.
yeah..all americans are stupid, THAT’S why we’re so damn powerful. what country did you say you were from?
What a retard. Do you really think regions of Europe and Asia PURCHASE rights to to build a McDonalds? It’s the other way around…
You have no idea how franchising works, do you. Citizens in Europe or Asia build/rent/purchase a building, then they get permission from McDonalds’ corprate offices to use the brandname as long as they purchase supplies from McDonalds and run the restaurant according to McDonalds’ rules. That’s how most McDonalds are setup, in a nutshell.
Ofcourse they do. Capitalism rules. People want profit, McDonald’s sells. I don’t like the US, but I have no greater love for the people in “my” country supporting “your” silly brands. I NEVER eat at McDonald’s, nor do I listen to pop-music, but sadly, many in Europe do, and those are NO BETTER than the US that “we” dislike. So we should hate them equally. I don’t dislike people becuase they are American (from the US), but sadly, the majority of people there seems to be of a…”bad” kind. The few of you that are different, know this: when people say that they hate America/Americans, they don’t mean you. They mean the ones we describe.
American’s lifestyle? Yeah, let’s be fat and always more fat!
Ha! lol so true
maybe if you payed attention to what was happening all around you, you can be truly, TRULY ashamed of being an American. I would never go around saying that people are jealous of Americans. And i live in America
if you’re so ashamed then you should leave…we’d be better off without you.
you are a moron, read a book
McDonalds hasn’t spread because its American, its spread because its tasty.
American = Win
You = Fail
Reasoning fail for assuming anyone is jealous. Humor fail for not thinking this is just damn funny.
probably that sign in english is something to hate .. see u making fun of a non terrorist .. i mean wtf .. no wonder they hate u .. and um that is probably american humor ..
to ur bar comment… what u believe is american music… was originally in europe anyway…
Fail..
wow dum ass, he goes and out of all the things he picks on McDonald..Epic.
Because we do shit like this. That’s why.
i think youll find that:
1. if by american lifestyle you mean being so fat you cant leave the house without a crane, nobody wants to copy you, your paranoid
2. american values are not copied around the world. america is backwards on gun laws, abortion, gay rights etc.
3. pop music is a scandanvian invention, rock music is entirley english and rap originated in celtic tribes over 1000 years ago
4. capitalism and the monetary system is, again, british – the british forced it on america (assasination of abe lincoln)
5. its called GDP – ameica is a big place with alot of people, as are russia and china who are arguably more powerful than america
will there be anything else?
dead on dude…..just laughed my self stupid….but dead on
lol american way of life – what language do you speak?
Hypocritical much?
very true….. i was almost too quick to pass judgement on the soldier
why we want to emulate their lifestyle and accept their values ……Why does the vast majority of the world willingly accept capitalism and consumerism?
….well dude thats cause we (all) are stupid
i mean we are one race right?
Why is america stupid yet powerful?
Easy. They have the most nukes.
nobody forces people to like American music or american fast food restraunts. If they don’t like American culture, they don’t buy it. They buy what reflects their own taste. America just happens to inspire others because it is so DIVERSE.
Well, the M-4 that he’s carrying implies that he’s an American soldier.
lol What about me? I’m American and I hate America. How could I be jealous?
lol. your fail
I can solve this problem with a simple ecuation.
America = 8
8=D
yes… everyone is jealous of america… you’re so right
*sarcasm-mode: OFF*
if you dont like america then dont ask for our help when you get invade for the 3 time. haha
God Bless America.
ohh trust me, you’ll need all the blessing in the world
No, we don’t. We’ve got bombs.
oh thats just plain raceist!
Haha. It’s not even a US soldier, not to metion that Iraqi of yours isn’t an Iraqi at all.
that isn’t funny, more american trash
shut up. you wouldnt even be on failblog trashing the US if it wasnt for america.
and you wouldn’t be defending America if it wasn’t for the British Empire, and Britain wouldn’t have the technoligy to make an Empire if it wasn’t for the Roman Empire, We can go on…
My brother took this picture
dont believe me? i was the first to post this picture off his camera on photobucket.
SENSE OF HUMOR FAIL
idiot american soldier. nothing more to comment here. fail by the poster. epic fail by the soldier.
I saw a fail atmy school. They were putting a sliding door on the edge of a balcony.
Fail at Photoshop. Disappointing
nope, I’ve seen the original blog post with this pic taken by this genius. dude got in serious crap for it.
and so he should be!!!!
I agree, thats just wrong
gee… i wonder why some of the people over there hate us.
stupid GIs
Why? The GI loves sheep, as you can see on the sign
omg…
awesomely funny..
Not only the PR failing there …
fake, there is a site out there where you can add your own text to that, and other pictures.
fail.
True, but the letters ‘E’, ‘I’ etc are a different size & shape each time, so it’s not a caption generator.
So it’s legit?
Or have the those shitty sites got more sophistcated*
*does not include lol builder
mispelling ‘sophisticated’ probably counts as a Commentfail
And misspelling ‘misspelling’?
That’s a Commentfail Fail.
So there.
Missing the hyphen from comment-fail?
…actually, I couldn’t care less.
It’s real. I know the person who did it, and yep, they DID get in trouble like the above comment said, and they’ll probably keep getting in trouble now
This Sucks.
It’s things like this that makes people hate americans. Even more. Whether it’s fake or not.
Yep. This is one of the reasons I hate America… Along with the fact that they killed too many of us in the Iraq war. Seriously, we’re supposed to be allies!
Agreed, and I’m American.
I remember one time in the early days of the Iraq war when one of our A-10s accidentally attacked one of your convoys thinking it was the Iraqis.
Seriously, how do you mistake a Warrior for a BMD (The Soviet-built APC that the Iraqi forces were using) ?
you wish.
this is totally fake. these have been circulating the interwebs for a solid 3 years now in various forms.
@cnut
you’re telling me that there’s a site that lets you write handwritten captions to a picture of a GI and Iraqi holding a piece of cardboard? show me this site and I will show you the FSM.
it’s amazing how many people will shout “shopped” if they don’t like what the picture has to say. if it’s shopped, show me the evidence.
It was clearly filmed in the Nevada desert, by NASA.
That truck in the backround hasn’t got any wheels, yeah? Because it’s a prop, yeah?They just lifted it up on wooden crates and hoped you wouldn’t notice.
Now, about 9/11…
And what about the moon landing? And you forgot to mention Dubya… he is clearly a fake. In fact… Everything about America is fake. Even you. If you’re an American, you don’t exist.
Oh no, really? Sh*t.
i thought america had built you guys schools along with all the other countries we’ve given them to. or did you get taught by the village elders? but i dont exist don’t listen to me.
This should be removed : it’s fake and racist. It also fails at being funny.
Derviche, it’s no more racist than the ‘Halt! Hammerzeit!’ picture with the SS chappies. Who’s being derided in this picture, really?
Dude, everyone’s racist. Live with it.
nope, you are wrong.
agreed.
This shows american attitude overseas. Makes me not want to visit this blog anymore. Should be removed
But the Failpic is making fun of the American soldier, and ‘that sort’ of attitude.
I believe the Yankees do laugh at themselves sometimes, thanks to the internet.
Thank you internet!
its funny and eventhought if there a stupid thing about germany i wouldn’t piss in my pants and flame around and cry and cut my arms! omfg don’t piss yourself in the pants!
That should secure their hearts and minds. Dill.
@Anonymous
I’m dying to see the flying spaghetti monster!
And I definately hope this one is photoshopped.. -.-
Eesh. Well if you were going for controversial….
I am with what Derviche said.
whether it is fake or not, this is not funny a bit, and offends me and others. I won’t visit this website again.. Thanks to your fail
I really do think the GI is the butt of the joke, mister.
Duh.
I think people are looking for reasons to vent some steam. Guys, just chill out and relax.
someone had a long say at work. it’s one picture but if deleting that bookmark will make your crappy day look up, by all means go for it!
Lets be honest, the sign probably belongs to the soldier
Lets be honest, the sign probably belongs to the soldier
Let’s be honest, the sign is probably the truth about the soldier.
you comment waaaaay too fukking much.
http://www.snopes.com/photos/military/boudreaux.asp
Doesn’t conclusively prove anything either way regarding this photo, but it looks like the one at Snopes really was an assholic attempt at humor on the soldier’s part. As others have said, either way the photo’s regrettable. If this is what I can expect on this site, I won’t be coming back.
LoL. Have the maintainers of this site been living under a rock? This kind of shopped photo “army guy” photo is old meme. You can even add your own text on sites now.
I’m pretty sure no one takes them as real anymore.
LMAO FAIL
Racism fail.
That’s just shitty.
Iraqi is not a race. It’s a nationality. People have made jokes about Scots and Aussies f’ing sheep too and they’s WHITE folk. Sheep f’ing is funny. Stop making it about race.
Homer, i agree with you. yes its a shitty picture. but its stupid if your not going to a website because of it. its people like you that are eventually going to make everything censored someday.
Not that there aren’t plenty of dumb comments on this post, but this one takes the cake.
This is an example of the exact opposite. Choice not to go to a web site does not equal censor ship – it’s freedom of choice.
Forcing a web site not to post something is censorship.
Read a book, crafty.
And apparently Susie is more offended by a picture where no one got hurt…
Yeah, no one’s gotten hurt in Iraq. How oversensitive am I? Sheesh.
Nobody got hurt in this picture…
blah blah blah nothing original i have no life blah blah blah
I thought you weren´t coming back!!! Promise – fail!
Its a wonder how americans can make us (europe) hate them even more, its almost there life mission to do so. I find this very racist and it fails in being funny. Im not comming back until its been removed.
Then how will you know it was removed?
Typical liberal, always wanting someone to protect him from being offended.
I bet you claim to be “open-minded” and “believe in the First Amendment.”
why would he believe in your crappy first amendment, he’s from europe (the continent, not the band). ability to read posts correctly = FAIL
By the way, there’s some great photos from Abu Ghraib that are just perfect for lol-captioning. Get on that, people!
HAY! That’s a great idea! Do you have a link?
Poor guy, in fact both poor guys.
I feel more sorry for the soldier
http://stuffgirlslike.wordpress.com
its people like you that are eventually going to make everything censored someday.
Here is how freedom of speech works: the site owners are free to publish whatever they like. In turn, others are free to say that they do or don’t like it, and to choose to patronize or not to patronize the site if it seems that they’re going to be seeing a lot more of it. The site owners are then free to respond to that in whatever way they see fit. Everyone is free in that scenario. The idea that people should be forced to subject themselves to content they find offensive lest they somehow wound the people purveying it is kind of wacky.
I dont think this i funny!
Hello, that guy is not an american soldier, looks more like a private contractor. Stupid scene
We live in the age of photoshop. However, without a higher res version, it’s impossible to tell whether this is fake or not. Too much jpeg compression.
One thing though – if I were going to photoshop that photo, the first thing I’d do is erase that logo in the center of the board – thereby making placement of text easier.
Clone stamp is easy to use. Why would a photoshopper not do this?
STATUS: Undetermined.
No foul. Truth is its own defense. Lock up the sheep.
these guys must be on the facebook group called “i never had sex with a goat” or something thats also a fail….
Homer wins again…..Laugh, or Move on.
How about not laugh, and agree with the majority of people who do not find this funny in the least. If you find this funny, you fail at being a decent person.
Would it be funny to show a picture of an American soldier with both legs blown off labeled “War Fail”? If you think that would be offensive, but you don’t think this is, maybe you should do some soul searching. As in, look to see if you even have one.
FOR FETH’S FETHING SAKE. THIS PICTURE, OF A AMERICAN TAKING THE PISS OUT OF AN IRAQI, IS NOTHING LIKE A PICTURE OF A INJURED SOLDIER. THE TWO ARE FETHING INCOMPARABLE.
BLAH BLAH BLAH NOW IM UPSET SO IM TYPING IN ALL CAPS BLAH BLAH BLAH IM THE KEEPER OF THE PENUS IM A MORON BLAH BLAH BLAH
Homer: Quick Wit and Ctrl+C Double Fail.
“Inter web? Papa Bear says “inter web” and no one comments on that?”
Perhaps nobody commented on it because they all got the joke. Also, he said “interwebs.”
Picture: Racism Success; Humor Fail.
Wow…this turned out to be a severe failblog fail
Not funny to me, just offensive.
Personaly I think it is funny as hell and if you dont like it.. dont come back and look at it
Personally*
Can we say “Article 15,” boys and girls?
Yeah, sure I don’t hate US-Americans for manslaughter, torture, war crimes or any such silly issues. What makes me hate them is how they make fun of innocent people. That’s no fair!
Yes, lets all get mad at every American, because clearly every single person in the United States is responsible for one poorly photoshopped picture. And yeah, it is photoshopped. Look at the letters, every I is the same, every B is the same, etc.
I swear…and people think Americans are close-minded.
Personally i find this friggen hilarious.
As stated: don’t like it? GTFO
lolz at the overreaction.
Homer wins again…..Laugh, or Move on.
Thank you, Boss of the Internets. However, despite the power that you and your liege lord apparently feel you wield to control the minds and actions of others, many of us crazily persist in believing in and practicing the democratic freedoms we’re supposedly so lovingly bringing to oil-producing nations everywhere. So we’ll continue to do and say what we please, oddly enough. No, you’re welcome.
Yeah, sure I don’t hate US-Americans for manslaughter, torture, war crimes or any such silly issues. What makes me hate them is how they make fun of innocent people.
Well, to be accurate, the person you seem to be referring to said that this made them hate us more, not in the first place. And yeah, there is something extra loathsome about someone who not only commits the crimes you detail, but then jeers at and belittles the victims. The former actions might still conceivably be defended (and are, by the current administration) as a necessary if regrettable part of the evil that is war; the latter are only simple, disgusting, despicable bullying.
All you whiny h*mos cryin’ about the sign why don’t you go boycott a cookout, I’ve been where that guy is at. The sign is funny.
@ Susie…..Since I’m Boss of the friggin’ internets……Yeahhhh…I’m gonna have to ask you to go find a liberal forum….so you can cry all your overly-sensitive liberal tears to some other people who can’t just move on…….Maybe there you can find your self-righteous platform to go on and on about…….Oh… and we’re gonna have to move your desk down to the basement….Thanks
Susie, i thought you weren’t going to visit this site anymore, yet this thread is littered with your posts not that i care either way, just saying.
and for the record there is absolutely nothing racist in this pic; it’s just tasteless.
This picture represents the USA : ignorance, hatred and stupidity…
And yet the USA remains the one of only developed states with positive population growth, remains the most diverse state in the world, and the place where more and more people wish to move.
If it is so bad why do people keep moving there? Tell me Umthf?
I can think of several countries with positive population growth. They get worse and worse with every generation. If 8 children are born to two parents and 5 starve to death, you get population growth. Stable populations are a sign of development, not populations that grow so large that they can’t feed themselves with the land within their boundaries.
Chinese brides have stopped selling themselves to Americans because it’s too darn expensive to live in the US. I should know. I live here.
You’re all failing here boys and girls.
Although, bringing mail-order brides into a picture about war and goat rape may be some sort of twisted internet genius.
It’s sheep rape dammit.
Oh damn you Freud…
Once upon a time you could believe most everything you see…not so any longer…faked pictures and videos have been happening since the 1970s and are done by Joe or Jane Doe sitting at home on a computer. Unfortunately people use these types of things to promote, devalue, project humor and on and on until people who polarize their views turn it into reasons to hate which bring about war and reasons for hating and killing others.
Umthf’s post represents Umthf: ignorance, hatred and stupidity.
If you think there’s no hatred in continental Europe, you may have missed the thousands upon thousands of people chanting ‘Monkey’ at African football players… or maybe the players themselves giving neo-nazi salutes to the crowd. How’d those muslim riots outside of Paris go, by the way? Fascist, classist skinheads. I’ve spent almost a year living in western Europe, and I’ve seen more overt racism and classism than I have in just about anywhere in the US. I’m not saying the US is perfect, but I’m sooooo tired of hearing the holier-than-thou rants from societies that have never confronted their own civil rights issues. It’s really easy to say you don’t have race problems when 90% of your population is homogeneous. But I guess the US is the bastion of everything that’s wrong with the world.
Sorry. That kind of got away from me. Anyway.
Personally, I don’t find the sign all that funny either way- whether it’s real or not. It’s the humor equivalent of a kick-me sign. But when a person is in a situation where they’re surrounded by potential enemies, with little to no help from those who are supposed to be ‘friends’, I could understand the desire to act out in a non-violent, albeit kind of degrading way. That is, if it were real.
No one said Europe didn’t have problems too, but for genuine, classic, state-of-the-art ignorant stupidity, you have to go to America.
Yes, but why are the Iraqis ‘supposed’ to be friends with their new guests?
They’ve got 200,000 aliens in combat gear wandering their country, their lives, and it’s all gone to shit ever since.
Oh dammit c:low, now I’m drunk and typing impassioned garbage too D:
Biggotry at its best.
I don’t normally comment on comments but holy cow. The picture, that is, the entire picture, is making fun of an American soldier. Not the Iraqi pictured. People are taking the subject out of the context of why it’s here. See the caption below the picture? No, I suppose not. Foolish to expect you to see the big picture.
I like how the collective asshurt act as though there have been no crimes committed by Iraqi terrorist factions.
I’m not normally pigeon-holed into playing the American apologist but goddamn people. The next time you want to make a knee-jerk racist witch-hunt outcry…let it go, okay?
I don’t give a flying rats ass about any of this bull-shit……..All I know is there is a guy holding a sign that suggests he has sex with sheep…and he obviously isn’t aware of it………I think that’s funny……That’s it……it’s funny and I laughed…….Does’nt matter who the guys are or what else the sign says…….Funny….Failblog = funny 96% of the time for ME!
Oh Yeah….and I’m not anonymous…Just too tired to fill in name and E-mail
I get my PC to do that for me.
Oh my lord, are we still talking about this? If we’re still assuming this is a “stupid American” thing, maybe someone could go ahead and tell me what branch of the military this gentleman is in.
Anyone?
Cuz what he’s wearing sure as hell isn’t any American uniform I’ve ever seen. If I’m wrong, please, correct me.
He would be in the USMC.
good lord people… anyone would think we come here to laugh. i major in philosophy and even i say leave the stupid political vendettas at the door. awesome pic failblog!
Even if it’s not real, it’s totally offensive and makes GI’s look like pricks. Bad move during such an unpopular war.
Um did everyone forget 9/11? What’s is funny is that if this happened right after 9/11 everyone would be “hell ya!”
People also poke fun at redneckish people having sex with sheep but I don’t hear anyone shouting racist over that.
It is a joke get over it.
This picture is flat out hilarious. Have a sense of humor.
Hey i don’t know if this picture is a fake or not, but if it is i didn’t do it lol. I just think it’s hilarious so i sent it in. And ya if you look at it you really can’t tell if he’s actually an american, unless he’s wearing a jumpsuit lol. W/e people get way to worked up over this kinda thing rofl.
Mi FTW. Totally.
Agreed.
i have no life so i reply to every comment here.
God fail America..
I love how liberals never say “God fail terrorism.” It’s always America’s fault, and straight white male Americans in particular.
I love how small factions of angry Conservatives scream Liberal any time someone makes a comment they don’t agree with. Might want to finish your statement off by asking why he hates babies and Jesus while you’re at it.
LIBERAL
USA sukx! U deserve to die.
You first, raghead.
Most of these pics on here are all photoshopped BS. It is sad that many of you think the pics are real.
That’s horrible. Even if it is fake, that’s not funny.
If it is real, it’s not hard to understand why American soldiers are despised in Iraq and Afghanistan, if this is the kind of shitty attitude they go in with.
Although I doubt it is real.

typisch amerikaner
Man a lot of you people get offended really easy
this is why i love america and hate the god damn ragheads… keep fightin the fight boys
Add more hate to american zionist fascist.
That GI deserve RPG.
Typical liberal.
Hmmm… Personally I can imagine American soldiers carrying on these kind of high jinks every day. They are generally young, uneducated and uncouth. At the same time, they are in fear for their lives, being mortared by people like this shepherd and humour is a way of dealing with that kind of pressure.
That shepherd knows nothing about it. He looks happy as a pig in poop.
Lets face it guys… a lot of Americans are kind, clever and intelligent. But, a lot more are stupid, ignorant and have little knowledge or care for political correctness or whether something is racist… soldiers, generally, fall into the latter category (Not just in every army in the world.)
Unnecessary Racism debate: SUCCESS
Stopping the picture from being funny: FAIL
That’s messed up. Plain and simple.
OK… 3 question…. Why does everyone think hes American? Why is everyone pissed off? And why does everyone care so much? You can easily go onto the internet get a picture and mess with it in photo shop… WOW everyone here really cares a lot about what others say even if it’s a joke and yet no one knows that it really doesn’t matter…
I am an American and highly offended by the military personel.
I am an American and highly discussed by this soldier. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?
I’m thinking I’m proud of this solider. I hope that he shot him in the head after taking this picture.
I am an American and WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING? Why do you think you have the right to insult another person this way? Hey, I know how the military works. Been a military brat and he should be holding the sign infront of you. How would you feel if some one did that to you? I bet you wouldn’t like it? I hope that you get your just deserts over this childish act! It’s bad enough that innoocent blood is lost and shed during war, but this. You should be ashamed of yourself. Seriously!! What ever happen to Pride and Common Curtsey? And don’t tell me that it went out the window due to war either. People have been fighting for 1,000′s of years and that’s not going to change. Maybe try and go after those who cause it then those who have to chose to live or die if they don’t!!
You are right. He should have just shot the guy in the head like you are supposed to do in war.
yum yum
when you face getting blown up on a regular basis i think you develop a twisted sense of humor.
easy to judge from home safe home.
Thank you Fred! At least someone gets it.
Our troops are representatives of our great nation. They should act accordingly.
This picture is fake to being with though.
Our embarrasing, uneducated military at it’s finest.
Our uneducated citizens attacking the military that provides you with the very freedom to post these kind of comments at its finest.
Typical liberal BS. Hate those who provide you with what you need.
I disagree with YOUR statement. Soldier/contractor/mercenary is not a hero, soldier is a semi-automaton programmed to attack/invade/occupy another country that was no threat to the US.
One big reason why the US is so unpopular is that too many Americans at home insist that what their soldiers do must be right, just because they are ‘serving’. Why should those Americans who strongly disagree with the war thank and respect him?
I’ll give u a pass on the twisted state of mind, although he probably wasn’t a genius before he ever deployed overseas. I hope he returned to the US with his mental state of mind, and came to live in your house.
First of all, I’m military, and the way I see it you don’t have to agree with the fight/cause/whatever. But at least show some respect to the men and women who put on the uniform everyday and go out there and put themselves in harms way. It’s because of US that YOU get to sit here (probably in your parent’s basement) and badmouth us and speak your feeble little mind. There’s an old saying: If you won’t stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them.
Lastly, it’s not a real picture, people. It once said something, not offensive, but it’s been photoshopped countless times into pictures circulating around the internet. Don’t believe me? GOOGLE IT! Retards…
That soldier is a douche. C’mon, that guy totally wants to take a photo with an American soldier. Look how friggin happy he looks…
Ugh. What a douche.
I love the fact that they are BOTH holding the sign! XD
ugh… tl;dr
I don’t want to be american.
Oh, and to think that all Americans are the same is just as arrogant as you say ALL Americans are. I happen to be Hispanic and I have to hear…Caucasian people say how much they love this country and how much they hate others. It makes me angry and I don’t like it one bit.

Took awhile, but I finally found articles that mention the photo so now you know that it’s definitely not a photoshop, and that it’s not an American soldier, but a Northern Irish soldier in the British army. This is one case where people can stop blaming the Americans.
EPIC WIN!
w00t! I’m an american, I’m fat, I’m stupid, ignorant and racist!!1!1!
My country pwnz.
What do I have to say to people from other places?
“I know you guys don’t have McDonalds… – Africa
Sex (whores) drugs (drug dealers) and robbers!1! YAY – South America
Yea yea… just keep sucking my balls – Europe
You guys are in the other side of the world, why you think we give a damn about you? – Asia
MOTHAFOKIN TERRORIST!!1!1! – Middle East
America own you – World”
(wanna talk about my spelling? who are you to question my spelling? I’m in america man! I’M FREE!1!11! roflcopters
wanna be cool? be fat ignorant and racist!
yea, I do hate all americans.
Пиздец пендосы уроды…
Photoshoped… perhaps. Hillarious… Definitely
not funny. private-dishonorable discharge?
not an american
the picture is just to have some fun and move on and u all are naging about american culture
just want to say :
u all fail XD
Patriotism WIN!
why has a pic that is just simply funny sparked a ridiculous political debate about McDonalds and America.
I believe the soldier is british special forces dude any way
regardless, ppl need to stop taking shit so seriously, its failblog ffs. have a laugh.
every one who got all heated and argued on here = fail
stupid soldier! you invade someone`s country and you laught of him! shame!
How could that man play such an awful joke on the soldier, that’s mean.
lmfao
nice joke you torturer, murderer piece of shit
Im in the Army, that guy isnt an american soldier. But I wish he was, because that iraqi just got served lol besides if it was a american soldier that guy would have probably been demoted, court martialed, pay taken away for a few months, sent a military jail for a while, and THEN kicked out of the army haha thats how the “army roles” But, hey Im in the Army band and just play piano lol so what do I know right?
I hope this guy rots in hell.
To those knocking Americans: FAIL… That’s not American camo… lmfao.
haha what i find funny is every one is so angry about this all; so some people are douches like the man who did that; they are everywhere all over the world! but like most people the majority of the world is actuley very nice, every where! so it doesnt matter what country he is from or if some americans are gerks! cool your jets people
Once upon a time. There was a hilarious burn on a guy who can’t read english… It was ruined by about 200 hundred serious comments. FAIL
hahaha this IS why everyone hates americans, idiots breed other idiots. then they join the army because college was too hard for them
“All I know is this: from wicked teachers and wicked parents, even more wicked children will be bred, until the wicked has become a norm, and the sane an example of horror.” America nutshell much? From Karin Boye’s Kallocain.
52% of all Americans are not aware that the sun is in fact a star.
What a retard. Sad…
Wow. All this drivel, pro- and anti- American. Anybody REALLY look at the picture? What military does not have patches on their shoulders? Anybody think that maybe this is a joke? Naahhhh…. it has to be real – it’s on the internet!
All these angry posts because of the 2nd comment which was not a comment to the photo, but an articulation of his/her own angst.
HAHAHA win
You people make me laugh…
your a nerd if u post paragraphs on this web site get a life
That is an American Marine. What he’s wearing is called a flight suit under his body armor. I had 3. wore them all the time over there when my camys were too filthy to wear.
As for the joke.. who cares? its a harmless prank. people do that stuff to eachother all the time all over the world. Besides, even if the picture were real – try to have a little humility before you judge others. The bad guys didn’t wear uniforms over there. Do you know what that means? We dont shoot till one of us gets shot. We need positive identification before we can pull the trigger. Try living with that kind of pressure day in and day out for months on end. We’re not blood thirsty retarded apes. We are ordinary people living in exraordinary situations.
anyways I’m not one of those vets that says you should love and respect all of us. All i ask is that you dont judge what you know nothing about. we’re regular people just like you. If you dont like the job we do – call your senators. It’s the government that controls us. The US military didn’t invade Iraq – the Politicians did.
Well said, i may not be American, but i don’t hate them. Their actions are majorly based on their politicians and everyone arguing how bad the US is. Look at the decisions made by your government. In Canada our government fails at doing anything, yet i still love my country. So show respect to other peoples nationalities. And i bet every country has people in it that would do exactly the same thing given the opportunity so don’t say its an American thing to do
Support our Troops
Yeah USA troops
