You know that this went across as least two people’s desks before it hit the printing press. Nobody along way thought, just for a moment, “Hey, maybe this can be misinterpreted?”
I work at a news paper doing obits and one day I was reading the latest issue and a cops story read something like, “The policeman found the cocaine when he found a hard area in the man’s pants while searching him.”
Something like that.
I laughed so hard I nearly peed.
That is beyond hilarious. I was sitting here wondering how that could possibly happen, but I’ve worked at newspapers, I remember the ritual cracking up of colleagues with fake headlines and photo cutlines… I don’t think we ever accidentally ran one, though.
I don’t know…. Mark Twain said that Solomon is supposed to have had 300 wives and 700 concubines, and that he couldn’t have kept even three of those women happy if he’d had a staff of experts helping. Fifteen? No way.
Well… maybe if he gave them all unlimited credit at a great chocolate shop….
This is the second fail in recent days that was taken from screenshots of the Headlines segment on the Tonight Show. Is this going to be a new trend or something?
Why is it that people tend so frequently to believe that just because they’ve seen something somewhere else earlier, that they’ve seen the first place it’s appeared?
This picture has been making the rounds for some time, already. The Tonight Show picked it up because it’s doing the blog and imaging sites circuit.
Fifteen women in a day? No wonder he’s smiling so big. A big time EDITORIAL FAIL for the paper. An equally EPIC MAD CHICK PLEASING SKILLZ WIN for him! lol
my friend showed this to me and he’s one of those morons who has to point out whats funny in a joke and he thought it was because he took 15 women shopping and spent all his money and i try to explain it to him and it took him like 10 mins to get it and after he finally got it im like “you fail so much”
the real fail is that 15 women who I’m sure all read the ad before it was submitted didn’t think for a moment that there is any other way to be made happy aside from an expenses paid shopping trip.
1: George loved it, the sales manager at the paper loved it, the publisher loved it, the editor loved it, the production person who assembled the ad loved it–all these people laid eyes on this ad before it went to press. But some fuddy duddy asshole out in readerland got her panties in a bunch (even if it was a guy, he’s a sissy) and complained. Hence the retraction.
Or,…
2: George or missus George was that fuddy-duddy.
I’m thinking option 1. Somebody who wasn’t George or anyone at the paper got upset. george can’t be tht big an asshole. Can’t he?
that´s nice ^^
This guy is my hero
Mine too.. Must be so awesome to having his friends read this in the paper xD
Wow, bet his wife was like WTF
lol
Sexism fail… If a woman did that then she’s a slut.
w/e stop your bitchin. If I was him I would have been happy with the first article.
I would frame that newspaper part. Definately NOT a fail.
But why apologise! The man’s a genius!!!
i would be pissed if they apologized
me too!
me three … guess thats why the apology was a fail…15 women in a day thats a true mans dream right there
me four…
me six…
yes, i just went there.
Em….not for every man…
You know that this went across as least two people’s desks before it hit the printing press. Nobody along way thought, just for a moment, “Hey, maybe this can be misinterpreted?”
Yeah they clearly meant it to sound like that.
“congratulations!” not “thank you!”
I work at a news paper doing obits and one day I was reading the latest issue and a cops story read something like, “The policeman found the cocaine when he found a hard area in the man’s pants while searching him.”
Something like that.
I laughed so hard I nearly peed.
LMFAO
Editor Fail!
XD
Editor fail but George WIN
amish electrician….TEE HEE!!! OXYMORON FAIL!!!! ((o-^-^-o))
Maybe they just laughed and said, “this`ll be GREAT!”
@TheAmishElectrician:
I think it could NOT be misinterpreted…
hard lol
harder lol
15 women… what a man!! lol
and check the hearts around it. very smart.
thats the face of a man who pleases 15 women!
thats a good one
He looks pretty satisfied too I must say.
OMFG LMAO
Oh wow. There should not have been a retraction/clarification. This guy would have been the town hero!
http://entirelyrandom.wordpress.com
Has to have been intentional. Has to.
Oh, they knew. They KNEW!
That is beyond hilarious. I was sitting here wondering how that could possibly happen, but I’ve worked at newspapers, I remember the ritual cracking up of colleagues with fake headlines and photo cutlines… I don’t think we ever accidentally ran one, though.
WIN!
Dude is full of WIN, regardless
If he just got done pleasing 15 women, he’s probably not full of “win” anymore…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That’s amazing. Epic fail.
I don’t know…. Mark Twain said that Solomon is supposed to have had 300 wives and 700 concubines, and that he couldn’t have kept even three of those women happy if he’d had a staff of experts helping. Fifteen? No way.
Well… maybe if he gave them all unlimited credit at a great chocolate shop….
“Staff” of experts eh.
I’m gonna wager he couldn’t please 15 dogs, never mind women.
you cant please 1 dog, asshole
May a 100 dogs please themselves with you.
This made my day
As Mae West said, “It’s not the men in your life, it’s the life in your men….”
This is chock full of win.
Oh, right…the “innuendoes [sic] were unintentional”. I’m sure surrounding the original ad with a heart border was an accident, too.
I love the original ad; it’s a shame ol’ George was apparently offended
@badfae
I think it might more likely have been the husband of one of the women that was offended…
Or how about the wife of the George, maybe she was wondering?
OH I’m sure SHE knew better….lol
Sure the wife might have known better but do you really think she wanted to whole town thinking here husband was having orgies behind her back.
What wife would not be in on a shopping spree! So technically then, she was one of the 15 ‘pleased’ women! LOL
one of the best fail blog posts ever
Why exactly is this a fail. *wink*
This is the second fail in recent days that was taken from screenshots of the Headlines segment on the Tonight Show. Is this going to be a new trend or something?
Why is it that people tend so frequently to believe that just because they’ve seen something somewhere else earlier, that they’ve seen the first place it’s appeared?
This picture has been making the rounds for some time, already. The Tonight Show picked it up because it’s doing the blog and imaging sites circuit.
The image has the NBC logo in the bottom right corner, so it had to have appeared on that station before making THIS blog, at least…
That really sucks for that guy. His reputation gets trashed because of one ad.
Ruined? heck I don’t know what I’d do for a reputation like that!
dude seriously that does not ruin a reputation quite the opposite!!
I think he was offended because he didnt want the reputation of a sex addict like you
The one on the left should say WIN. the one on the right should say FAIL.
I just couldn’t help but smile…Never saw a face that looked so satisfied
I need to tell u. u rly need 2 know ur language.. damn funny.. lol
LMAO that’s awesome.
I’d love to see the look on the the faces of this paper’s readers when the first one hit the newsstands.
He’d better frame the first printing. I know I would.
Ah, every mans dream. For one day, this man was the male idea. For one day, this man was full of Awesome and WIN.
The love hearts around the ad make it better.
MANLYNESS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
George Brownridge is a lucky sunofabitch. Somebody needs to start a “George Brownridge Facts” website
Rather like
MY NAME IS GEORGE ZIMMER, FOUNDER AND THE CEO OF MEN’S WAREHOUSE
George Zimmer FAIL!
hahaha epic win! he was prolly pretty mad that they had to put in the correction!
Thank God they apologized to his staff as well!
They apologized to his “staff” eh.
This is so my new background on my computer, WIN!
Lol. I would have paid them to NOT print the second post.
I would have been sooooo pissed at them for the retraction.
If someone saw them in the ad and knew him imagen what they would say the next time they met….
Fifteen women in a day? No wonder he’s smiling so big. A big time EDITORIAL FAIL for the paper. An equally EPIC MAD CHICK PLEASING SKILLZ WIN for him! lol
my friend showed this to me and he’s one of those morons who has to point out whats funny in a joke and he thought it was because he took 15 women shopping and spent all his money and i try to explain it to him and it took him like 10 mins to get it and after he finally got it im like “you fail so much”
That guy is a fucking beast, literally and figuratively.
I bet it was intentional
luky dude if the was tru lol
George Brownridge is a sex god! Long live the god that is Brownridge!!
the real fail is that 15 women who I’m sure all read the ad before it was submitted didn’t think for a moment that there is any other way to be made happy aside from an expenses paid shopping trip.
Reality fail, ftl!
George is a far better man than I.
15 women all exhausted and very satisfied! Not a bad day!!
every win fails eventually, unfortunately
this one could have been so epic
Actually, he doesn’t have a beard.
LOL!!! Hilarious!
I dont think that ad will do his street cred any damage at all do you???
One of two things happened here:
1: George loved it, the sales manager at the paper loved it, the publisher loved it, the editor loved it, the production person who assembled the ad loved it–all these people laid eyes on this ad before it went to press. But some fuddy duddy asshole out in readerland got her panties in a bunch (even if it was a guy, he’s a sissy) and complained. Hence the retraction.
Or,…
2: George or missus George was that fuddy-duddy.
I’m thinking option 1. Somebody who wasn’t George or anyone at the paper got upset. george can’t be tht big an asshole. Can’t he?
The more one reads it, the better it becomes…
that guy is a winning twatt
George Brownridge wins SO HARD.
ALL DAY.
