Car crashes into bike race - CNN ARTICLE
R.I.P. - Alejandro Alvarez - May you win in heaven.
This is not a “fail”, this is a horrible accident. The fail blog is for fun, and there is nothing funny about a pack of cyclists being wiped out by a drunk driver, especially when one was killed and others seriously injured- the “fail” is yours for making a joke of this.
Yeah it was a horrible accident but dont click on controversial links then be surprised you see something unsettling. It was clearly your choice to look, knowing you were about to see something bad. You fail as an internet user
And you FAIL for not noticing that the comment to which you replied was made before the photo was hidden behind the “controversy” link.
In an RSS reader, there is no such linked warning.
u guys r idiots
this is one of the best FAILS out there
You’re terrible.
This is terrible.
Wow! People really think death is funny. Just hope it isn’t someone’s family. Then is it funny if it happens to you?
Yeah this is pretty harsh, someone actually died in this thing.
I agree with the first post…
I agree with both. I usually think you can joke about everything but this was just too soon.
So if time passed it would be okay? hello non sequitur….
This needs to be taken down. There’s harsh reality, and then there’s making light of the death of a person and severe injury of many others.
Agreed - this is in poor taste - 1 killed, 10 injured and sent to the hospital.
Yeah, not funny.
I dont know what you guys are talking about. This is life and failure is a part of it. This is hilarious and shouldn’t be taken down.
If the person in the car had been the one to die, it would have been hilarious (see Darwin Awards), but this is a case of a drunk driver killing someone. How is homicide funny?
manslaughter
well, in that case it’s hilarious.
You can’t spell manslaughter without laughter.
Yea, this is not only tasteless, it is offensive. In an RSS reader such as mine–there is no option to view it or not. I will most likely stop reading the Failblog as a result.
Jay, there is nothing funny about real homicide–this is not a Hollywood picture. go watch and praise some gory Hollywood film if you need that sort of titillation.
It should be taken down–not hidden behind a link. Its not a fail. This is f***ed in the worst sense.
Not funny or at all appropriate for this blog. You fail.
I agree that this should be taken down. I want to laugh at people being stupid, not at drunk drivers causing deaths.
Unsubscribing this feed.
I’d take it off, too. I understand that part of life is making fun of funny things, but it’s far too soon.
not funny at all
This is a major failblog fail.
It’s sad that someone actually died in this accident.
But that doesn’t mean that the driver isn’t made of drunk and FAIL. It’s not funny, but it is still FAIL.
Completely tasteless and insensitive. This needs to be taken down ASAP.
completely tasteless and insensitive. Who ever posted this should get a medal! XD
Next I suppose you guys will have a picture of an aborted fetus with the text “Birthday FAIL!”
Sorry, you’ve disappointed me…not funny.
That would be hilarious!
I concur! People, seriously! perhaps the caption should have been “drivingFail” but this still definitely qualifies as a fail.
I agree… that would be hilarious! And I’m sure that SuperJesus thinks it’s okay to drive a truck around various towns with pictures of aborted fetuses, because it would be working for the pro life movement!
I guess you can put me on the “bad person” list, because both “Tour De Fail” and “Birthday Fail” made me laugh out loud as well.
I’m a cyclist, and even I have to chuckle. It’s not like the creator is cheering that asshole on. It’s humor. If you don’t like it, don’t read the blog.
“super jesus”?!? now THAT’S funny. Birthday fail comes in a close second.
btw I think I see “super jesus” in the black shorts on the upper left. “up up and away!”
…birthday fail… … ;|… ;]…
;D HOLY CRAP THATS FUNNY!
oh, that was clever.
but on the topic of the post,
yes it’s horribly sad that somone died, and it’s probably bad taste.
And i feel bad for the person who died and the people who got injured
But isn’t this site about how tragic we are as a whole, not just the cutsie poos,
if you want that, go to Icanhascheezburger…
and also, what on this site is good taste…
so i don’t know… they gave you a warning, didn’t they?
ha ha ha, this would be great. Nothin to apologize. Your all so pussy like.
Grammar Fail
maybe i AM a horrible person… but “birthday fail” made me chuckle outloud
So you’re tagging the as controversial but not removing it? That desperate for page views? Completely inappropriate.
Poor judgment posting this. It’s not humorous in the least. Yes, it’s a failure, but the resulting injuries and the lost human life deserve more than this. (The R.I.P. message is an attempt at kindness, but it can’t ameliorate the poor choice.) I was really enjoying this blog but this has called into question whether it’s worth reading. Please reconsider.
take a joke. this is really funny, actually. really, how does that even happen.
would this have been funny if it was your brother or father?
This shouldn’t be taken down. It’s no more “out of taste” than any of the others. Do you really think people don’t get hurt when “failboats” crash, or when people fly off of bikes? Do you really think that peoples’ lives don’t get ruined in some of the other “fail” accidents? People really need to get a life and quit picking stupid causes to fight for. Nobody is being harmed here, let the post stand.
In the case of people who get injured in failboats, they aren’t dying, and often they’re the person who made the mistake, or from the same company as the person who made the mistake.
The person who failed in this one didn’t pay the price. Someone died. Injury and death are very different.
Agreed. It’s one thing when someone makes a stupid mistake and pays the price with a bump in the head. It’s completely different when someone makes a stupid mistake and someone ELSE pays the price with their life.
quit being such pussies, everyone.
agreed
I don’t understand you guys, ok, one person died, to sad.
What are you guys discussing? You guys kill Mexicans EVERY DAY while they are trying to have a better life crossing the U.S border.
It’s only 1 more mexican not disturbing the U.S.
The person who died was an American.
Then that changes everything, by gum.
What a DISGUSTING, in-compassionate thing to say. You fail at life.
Disgusting or not, this is Truth.
In your racist, hateful eyes, maybe, but not in reality.
If those Mexicans were going about crossing the border the LEGAL way, we wouldn’t have to resort to such drastic measures.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA… funny
i’m a mexican… in mexico we have a sense of humor… and we even try to take death lightly… or rather, with a bit of celebration. think of day of the dead and skull sweets…. death is a bummer, but it’s also part of life and should be celebrated. stop being such party poopers and have a chuckle… stop whinnying with indignant righteousness about one tragic death… what about all the thousand other tragic deaths we don’t acknowledge in china and whatnot…. it’s a crazy spectacular tragic picture with a clear drive fail…. let the picture stand and change your soiled panties, y’all
Please take it down….

amen
I agree with Sensible. I’m waiting to see photos of the folks dying in gas chambers marked as “breathing fail”, and pics of thalidomide babies listed as “zygote maturation fail”. Hell, show us what’s really funny, post a pic of you cutting your wrists so we can label it “circulatory fail.” Lawl.
I lol’d.
This is awful. What’s even worse is the subtext:
“R.I.P. - Alejandro Alvarez - May you win in heaven.”
Totally fucking lame, guys. A group of healthy bicyclists, not doing anyone any harm, got wiped out by a drunk driver?
I have a couple new ones for you:
Let’s show a picture of the earthquake in China- SEISMIC FAIL
Let’s show a picture of the typhoon in Myanmar- LOW SEA ELEVATION FAIL
Let’s show a picture of some Jewish victims in the Holocaust- RELIGION FAIL
Let’s show a picture of New Orleans flooded- LEVEE FAIL
Some fails are funny, some are not. Most, if not all, of the people subscribing to this feed or reading this blog in general come to be entertained and have a quick laugh. This is stupid, not funny in the slightest and unnecessary.
Failblog- Failing at the internet.
lets not forget other historical fails:
WTC on fire - “fail plane”
A chinese man being shot in the head in the middle of the street from the 60’s - “protest fail”
Hiroshima mushroom cloud - “picked the right side of an argument fail”
Kennedy assination - “duck fail”
Jesus Christ on the cross - “original fail”
He wasn’t Chinese and he wasn’t shot for protesting. That was during the Vietnam War, he was a suspected member of the Viet Cong, and the shooter was a South Vietnam policeman or military officer.

Thank you for the correction, I couldn’t think of the right area of conflict. I just had
the image in my head.
Whilst on the subject of the Vietnam war:
I suppose you could put VIETNAM, Americas failure to prevent the spread of communism!!
But to be honest I find the post funny and should stand, human life is full of accidents and disasters, if you can’t laugh what can you do?
Jesus Christ on the cross - “original fail”
I WANNA SEE THIS ONE !!! I’m actually half dead laughting…
