Is it better to hate something cuz everyone has it or to like something cuz everyone has it? if anything they are about equal. and dont give me any bull shit like i want it cuz its useful for keeping my hands free cuz as we can see you can do the same with a rubber band ^^^^^^^^^
It was a big win. This was one of the pictures for an early ebay ad. It was a great joke. I recall that the description of the rubber band was very funny. Just the rubber band was being sold as a handsfree upgrade for any cell phone.
Ebay blocked the auction because they considered it fraud, and then unblocked it, after the bidders protested that they knew that they were buying a rubber band. It was the moral equivalent of throwing money in the tip jar.
Note to evil:
This substantially predates Bluetooth headsets.
the people who wear those bluetooth headsets fail more than this guy does…especially if you can’t see the thing on their ears, they look like their talking to themselves
so it doesn’t matter that he was trying to look cool, the fact is that I rather look like i’m talking to myself on a headset then to look like an idiot talking to myself on a cell with a stupid rubber band strapped to my head! get a headset dumb ass!!!! haha
I also consider this a triumph. First, for the genius who invented this. Second, for those us us who struggle to determine someone’s sanity when they are talking or arguing, apparently to no one, while walking down the street. To you buddy, you may look stupid but at least we know you’re talking to someone real (probably).
I know the dude who put this picture up he is a conspiracy theorist from Tanzania in Africa. He first put this picture up in Cocoa Lounge forum but it is now everywhere.
I think someone should come out with a fashion line of rubber bands, like in prints and colors. Like, an updated version of this, and pull the Ebay spoof again. I totally bet it’d work.
This is one of the oldest (and dumbest) viral pictures on the internet. The quality of this blog has plummeted in recent weeks. IMHO I personally have submitted several higher-quality FAILs that have failed to make the blog.
It would be a win if he engineered his phone like a head set. Its a fail because the guy is using a rubberband because he’s cheap. Honestly people have you ever put a rubber band around your wrist or your head, it HURTS! This guy must not be comfortable at all!
When are they going to make ethnically sensitive mulitiple skin tone rubber bands? Add some spinner sequins and that sh*t is pimp (pronounced peeeeyuhmp!)
haha.
you happen to be the only douche commenting on that aspect of the picture.
stupid honk.
jk.
won’t stoop to that level.
just had to add that one in.
i love everyone!
Let me guess… Too poor to afford headset.. too poor to afford better phone… better phone probably not available and he thinks its new cos new technology here takes like 10 years to get there… He was probably told band was hands free kit… Place photo was taken = Africa!
Dude… Why? Your blog still sucks ass, and your comments are still lame like George Bush choking on a pretzel.
Oh god, if only I could reach through my monitor and slap some sense into your biatch ass, I would. I’d risk glass cuts and all. In fact, I’d make sure some of my hep C riddled blood got into your eyes, nose and mouth as I punch some sense into you! Fukkkkkaluk, you suuuuuuuuuuck.
“Hep C riddled blood”? Isn’t that the one you get through fecal-oral transmission? That seems like a much bigger FAIL than any of the comments that irk you so…I’m just saying…
No. Hepatitis C is blood-blood (including blood transfusions). Hepatitis A is fecal-oral, and is most frequently contracted via contaminated food or, in un/underdeveloped countries, contaminated drinking water.
Agree that pashaw needs to get a life, but just wanted to clear up the A vs C thing. A friend of mine was recently treated for hepatitis C (which she contracted as a result of a blood transfusion back in the early 80s), and she took so much crap from people who didn’t know anything about it – accusing her of drug use, assuming that she or her husband had been sleeping around, all kinds of ridiculousness.
*FIRST!*
First = teh suck.
That headset = teh shizznit. I’m investing in simple and stupid right the f*u*c*k now!
gangsta
id say this is a win
yeah i agree this is definetly a win especially if u be 2 broke to be buyin bluetooth
Screw fail, i say this guy was actually somewhat creative and intellegent
WIN
If it works… it ain’t a fail. Silly looking, yes. A fail, no.
Its an amazing win!
This is what we call “Afro-engineering.”
Why “Afro-engineering?” Well, because when a white person wants a phone headset, he actually sits down and engineers a real bluetooth.
*Smacks you*
yh this is definaty not a fail. altho sort of works out witht the shit phone and elastic band… pretty my says he cant afford a headset
TOTALLY!!!
FTW
first
ghettofab WIN
ZOMG AWSOME A PRIMATIVE BLUE TOOTH
That needs to be in a museum
Thats not a headset not really…
Oops… i failed.
n00b!
first people = biggest fail ever.
I put forth that this is in fact not a fail.
I’ll second that. I’d rather have a phone strapped to my head than wear one of those instant douchebag bluetooth headsets.
I concur.
Wow don’t you sound cool and non conformists. I HATE THINGS THAT EVERYONE HAS GRRR I HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT.
lol or maybe those bluetooth headsets are just annoying
maybe thats it
or maybe not
but probably
douche
>.>

Your username is obviously true! Geek win for you!

Then / Than Distinction Fail. Leads to massive intelligence fail.
i have a headset but not bluetooth (it sucks) mine has 2 cable which are first together and then split for micro and speakers
Yea, that is in fact #Win.
i agree. this is ingenious.
The man is a visionary.
haha….. saves money!
i agree- you say Fail- i say TRIUMPH!
I say win!
Instead of a rubber band he should’ve used a cotton headband so he can play basketball without getting sweat in his phone or his eyes.
You racist prick! you assume he plays basketball merely because he’s black.
Hands free for FREEDOM from Stereotypes
lol, I totally agree…people are also waaaay to sensitive to stereotypes.
ALL stereotypes are grounded in truth, suck on that.
True dat.
…………..attached to a sweatband…hahaha…….Great visual!
this is COOL
Looks like it’s working pretty well.

rubberband win!
haha the phone probably weighs more than his head! this is doomed to FAiL!

Wow, Kevin, why don’t you whine about it a little more?
Kevin = self-promotion fail.
HA! I made a joke advertisement for a product similar to this when I was in College. This fail photo brings back memories.
http://www.electricreality.com/fonetape/fone_tape.jpg
the oldest picture in internet history
^ Kevin ^ = self-promotion fail.
I don’t actually think that’s FAIL. It’s ghetto win, in my opinion.
Please, FAIL Blog, stop the non-fail entries.
It’s prejudice against the poor when you say it’s a fail to find a creative inexpensive solution to a problem. And it’s rude too.
Fail FAIL, again.

I think this is a WIN. Way to make it work for you!

Necessity is the mother of ingenuity.
Not a FAIL.
haha, very cool!
When are they going to make ethnically sensitive mulitiple skin tone rubber bands? Add some spinner sequins and that sh*t is pimp (pronounced peeeeyuhmp!)
thats not a FAIL
man the addition of the comment system to this site is a big fail
So does he pop himself in the head when he wants a cigarette?????
this is a fail.
the rubberband will pull out hair when he takes it off.
OUCHES = FAIL!
ho ho ho bluetooth
You’d think Terrance Howard could afford an actual headset.
Looks like instant brain tumor
I’ve done that, it doesn’t work. The phone slides down…
Also duct tape doesn’t work– phones are too heavy.
However, wearing a hoodie backwards with the phone in the hood= perfect.
Sure, it still give you phone radiation. BUT at least no one will talk to him when he’s on the phone. Except for two reasons…
Stupid Nig.
haha.
you happen to be the only douche commenting on that aspect of the picture.
stupid honk.
jk.
won’t stoop to that level.
just had to add that one in.
i love everyone!
That guy looks exactly like a 419 scammer I baited a few years ago. The pic spells scamming fail. Poor mugu. .
Let me guess… Too poor to afford headset.. too poor to afford better phone… better phone probably not available and he thinks its new cos new technology here takes like 10 years to get there… He was probably told band was hands free kit… Place photo was taken = Africa!
since just about every goddamn cellphone comes with a headset…
this pic = epic cheapass fail
Lol, money saving win. Not fail.
All it takes is someone with a pair of scissors…. there goes your phone.
Strap fail and money saving fail.
I totally wanna see the line on his forehead when he takes that off at night heh
Or brilliantly simplistic?
Blacktooth
suprised no one else came up with that until you.
congrats.
THAT, is a hands-free phone law, WIN. Who would arrest him?
Hey it works though.good money saverlol
Really sucks it has to be a black guy. Takes away from redneck ingenuity. Fail for sure.
BLACKTOOTH at it’s finest
Brain tumor WIN!
man, that is win! not fail ^^
Dude I’d say that headset is pretty WIN!
WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD
First peanut butter, and now this! Amazing!!! *round of applause*
Some people seem to get FAIL and WIN confused.
This is a WIN.
what a win, i like that a lot
I saw a woman doing this, but instead of using a rubber band, she used her Burkha.
Blah blah blah shiatty blog blah blah blah…
