» 198 Failures in Communication

  1. khaaaaaaan says:

    First!

  2. mek says:

    second!

  3. Art Vandalay says:

    At least the TV will look big by comparison.

  4. laubo says:

    Haha this is a good one. Maybe he should fix the “house” instead of watching TV :D

  5. Anonymous says:

    Or quite possibly a priority win, depending on your view.

  6. Leunam says:

    This is so common where I live.

  7. walker says:

    solid construction win

  8. MyMalady says:

    and I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll.. oh, is that pay per view??

  9. Vismund says:

    Must be Austria.

  10. martinica says:

    tuck… i think the pictures taken 1 or 2 years ago at about 3-4 kilometers from where I live…

    If i’m not wrong now there’s a quite big house instead of that :|

    makes me kind of sad to think about theese things

  11. MrMe says:

    I call fake. Looks shopped to me, and there’s no way this hovel has electricity.

    • Unknown says:

      Not shopped. This is a typical post-war Yugoslavian house.

    • Corwin_the_Physicist says:

      I agree, FAKE.
      1. Edges too crisp on dish.
      2. Shadows don’t appear to be consistent
      … and the big give away…
      3. DAMN! That’s a low flying satellite!!

      • Hamjudo says:

        The dish antenna is a portion of a paraboloid, but it is offset from the center. The focus is way down low at the LNA. That means that the antenna is aimed at something on the order of 60 degrees above the horizon.

        The house is built to keep out the rain, but not to keep in the heat, so it is near the equator. Mexico seems plausible.

        In places where the weather isn’t extreme, you don’t need much of a house. It looks like they even have some privacy, since there aren’t any other houses near by.

    • dandan says:

      Not fake. I’ve seen this case in so many places around Romania. Priority fail indeed.

  12. Unknown says:

    Typical muslim house (not a joke). The hut is rotten, but the guy can always watch al-jazeera-tv.

  13. sometimesilie says:

    Writing “1st” on a comments section simply screams “I HAVE A SMALL PENIS!!!”

  14. Melody says:

    As much as I hate to admit it, this is par for the course in my home state of WVa, where every POS trailer has a massive satellite dish in the next to 3 cars on blocks and a yard full of broken appliances. Live there. Saw it often.

    • Hoopie says:

      Ah, but now the technology is such that the dish is smaller. What to do with all those leftover whoppin’ big concave things? Turn them in to gazebos!

      Not kidding, take a drive through southern WV and you will see plenty of this fashion statement.

    • Lames says:

      I hear ya. This is very common in north eastern Tennessee too.

  15. THEbear says:

    Oh no!!! Thats me on the picture!!! What the F***!!!

  16. Dynamo says:

    I don’t see no fail. That this house is even standing is a huge win.

  17. Scott A says:

    This isn’t all that uncommon actually, especially in central Mexico – The Mexican government got it into its head a while back that they could improve the lives of campesinos/farmers/etc by giving them free technology.

    So they sent out a bunch of solar panels to people who don’t use electricity for much of anything. They also sent out satellite dishes to people with no TV’s, and so on.

    A lot of the stuff gets used to hang drying clothes on, for decoration, or is just kinda left sitting out because nobody can figure out what to do with it.

    • esmesworld says:

      This is a classic example of failure of Govt planning.

      While it may make sense to most free market countries, where its natural to consider having a better house a priority over having Television and Cable TV, but in Govt planned economies this is a common scenario.

      The point is Govt has shoved its hand down deep into the throat of housing market. These people are not owning those lands, but either are sitters on it(that’s why they cannot afford to make permanent homes on it), or are given Slum ownership certificates(which will become void if they gentrify their house).

      In simple words it makes much more sense for them to do non-permanent investments on their property(like buying a dish antenna or television, even telephone and internet), but not into something permanent like a better house because they will end up losing it.

  18. Christine says:

    what’s the point of making your home all fancy if you know its not gonna last?

    although the tv will be there

  19. gnawyzus says:

    The only thing that would improve this picture would be an SUV with spinners.

  20. Papawapa says:

    Obviously it’s a load bearing dish and holding up the roof. :P

  21. RogueThree says:

    Maybe they watch a lot of HGTV…

  22. Charles says:

    or they watch the pr0ns! go pr0ns!

    prono first priority–WIN!

  23. lole says:

    Its not mexic or smth else…its Romania .. so..yey romania

  24. Anonymous says:

    -sigh- Clearly a photoshop.

  25. Anonymous says:

    For sure, Puerto Rico. I took a shitload of shots like this. Losers can’t get the alignment right on the first dish, so they just put up a second or third…I’ll have to submit a shot or two for consideration

  26. miketysonsgoldtooth says:

    Escapist WIN! If you lived here wouldn’t you want to be able to watch The Real World so you can see what “real” life is??

  27. Anonymous says:

    I NEED TO PLAY WORLD OF WARCRAFT.

  28. Tony says:

    top ebayer

  29. anonymous says:

    photoshopped

  30. AoA says:

    Sad. There’s a little kid next to him.

  31. TJ says:

    god i cant believe no one has said happy Canada day!!
    so there you go

  32. Gregor says:

    Back in the 80’s and 90’s, when I lived in Vermont – we called the big satellite dishes the “Vermont State Flower”. And yes, I realize that this photo was not taken in VT…

  33. Randy Marsh says:

    Whats wrong with you? I need the satellite to get HDTV for my brand new 50″ Plasma. It fits perfekt to my goat. Damn Bastards!

    • dolt says:

      why can’t you sky viewers just get freeview- you pay about £20 for a little box which you plug into your tv and you get 40-somthing extra channels and digital radio with no other charges

  34. Hum.. says:

    Willfull ignorance fail.

    Maybe this picture really represents “No other options at fucking all SUCCESS!”, if this makes sense..

    People with lack of options need satellite pr0n too..

  35. BREE says:

    Hello, this picture is real an I am completely sure it was taken in my country, Slovakia. The gipsies in the eastern part of the country live in shacks like this. The writing on the dish says DIGI and it is a widwspread digital TV company in my country.

    • ClickClick says:

      Greetings to Slovakia!

    • Guru says:

      Well.. maybe it is after all in Austria as the gipsies have just ‘harvested’ the dish from Slovakia and have set up there residence in northern Austria…

      They have green grass in the picture and a pram – c’mon – you know that everything behind the iron curtain (which of course includes Slovakia and Eastern Germany) is in black and white and that no kids are around as they are all in Stalinistic development units underground!;)

    • bengaboys says:

      it’s Romania…the network is Digi TV

  36. Mihai says:

    It’s in Eastern Europe.
    Here’s the site of the antenna provider: http://digi.tv

  37. the incredible bulk says:

    100th

  38. DeVir says:

    What if the guy doesn’t have a TV? Now that would be a HUMONGOUS fail…

  39. Ivan says:

    It’s normal in Bulgaria :) The Gipsys want to wath turkey tv program so everyone have tv and satellite dish :)

  40. dolt says:

    mabee he just won free sky for a year or somthing

  41. chez says:

    governing is like parenting. if you can’t give them decent food, water or clothing, sit them down in front of a plasma TV. That’ll shut ‘em up.

  42. Mourner says:

    well, at least he has a house, and quite a proper one as well, the walls have some thickness and mass to them, keeping the interior warm when it’s cold, and cool when it’s hot.

    the roof (looks) watertight

    and he has a door ……

    it’s a bit small though…..

  43. John the One says:

    this is not a fail picture. its a win

  44. grupa 1408 says:

    It’s not fake, it’s in Romania, people here care more about digital TV than other stuff.

  45. anonyman says:

    first

  46. Mayokitty says:

    It has to be somewhere in Eastern Europe. Most likely its one of his other houses in the country side. And he HAS to catch his football games.

    Either way, it makes sense.

  47. Anonymous says:

    i think its malaysia? is see DiGi?

  48. BRANZ says:

    NO, its Malaysia,its DiGi its malaysia’s satalite vision provider

  49. Anonymous says:

    There’s a little child with him too. o.O

  50. evil latte says:

    im surprised I don’t see any duct tape holding parts of this crap shack together…this is seriously sad if someone feels they NEED tv this badly!

  51. asdf-man says:

    Photoshopped.

    ( just lol and dont give a shit FAIL)

  52. Christine L. says:

    I’ve seen failures like this very often.

  53. wanklord says:

    With weather like that they dont need solid housing

  54. Admin says:

    Please stop these silly comments, the department for removal of silly comments have already been contacted

    • CHARLES says:

      NOOO No the department for removal of sIlly COMMENTS! NOT AGAIN! NOT AGAIN!

      you’ve had me.

      I have officially been had.
      and all my commentses. HAD.

  55. Department for removal of silly comments says:

    Hi, we`ve had our eyes on your site for a while now, i`m sorry we can`t help you, the sheer amount of mongoloids are too much for us to handle right now

    • CHARLES says:

      we’ve won! CHEERS TO THE MONGOLOIDS!

      WE”VE HAD OUR DAY IN COURT

      SOON ANGRY SUN WILL MELT US ALL INTO OBLIVION.

      good day mongoloids! and good day Admin- may you never catchup with our sheer awesome horrible comments for you.

  56. Admin says:

    Fuck off then!

  57. Admin says:

    F U then!

  58. anonyman says:

    second

  59. HellSpawn says:

    This could, of course, happen only in Romania.

  60. Velan says:

    Clearly shopped (no power to the house)

  61. simx says:

    if it was real then this would be a win

  62. alKanal says:

    Silly rabbits, It’s Romania.
    The provider is Digi TV, part of RDS&RCS – jfgi
    I’m 100% sure so stop yer whining.

  63. Youallknowshit says:

    It’s in eastern Slovakia, it’s a fooking gypsy house, and it’s quiet common they live on the outskirts of towns. May the wrath of goods smite ‘em.

  64. boaks says:

    Ethnocentrism win

  65. First! says:

    Second!

  66. Radu says:

    It is Romania! Digi tv.

  67. Tyberius says:

    According to Wikipedia:

    Countries where Digi TV is available
    Romania – about 1,800,000 customers
    Hungary – about 370,000 customers
    Slovakia – about 216,000 customers
    Czech Republic – 139,000 customers
    Serbia – about 50,000 customers
    Croatia – about 25,000 customers
    Bosnia and Herzegovina – about 10,000 customers

    So all we can say about the picture is that it’s from an Eastern European country (although, given the number of subscribers, it IS most likely from Romania).

    The occupant of the house is most likely Gipsy. It’s typical of their priorities: they used to be nomads living in tents until a few centuries ago, so “the place to live” is always a temporary thing to them, they don’t give a shit about the houses they live in – but they do value their entertaintment.

    Also, since i’m already going to be called a racist for stating the above, they smell bad, don’t work, live on benefits, steal a lot and should go back to India. Thanks for listening.

    • kubci says:

      partially wrong. it is slovakia. this picture was even in our newspaper.. it IS gypsy. and it is in SLOVAKIA. there was a special offer from digi tv when came to our market – for one slovak crown (30.126skk=1eur) you got the sattelite + 3 months free usage.. the deal you had to sign lasts 2 years i think..
      major income of this families is from children allowance and it is part of their “politics” – make 10 children,feed them shit and keep money for alcohol/cigarettes. their other income is from stolen goods…more than 90% of gypsies in eastern europe never worked,was willing to work or will ever work…

  68. andrew says:

    Little Pig Little Pig, Let me come in!!!

  69. Octavian says:

    The picture is taken in Romania. I live there. That DIGI antenna is for TV obviously, the company has a special offer, actually it is very very cheap to have that DIGI service. That guy is poor, however he affords the antenna.
    Yes it is stange, but can you believe that for one month of DIGI TV he pays only the value of a small glass piece from his poor window? This is what YOu might call “cheap TV service” :P

  70. Krissy says:

    Ugh. That’s like driving near the projects and seeing my taxpayers dollars wasted on low-income people with numerous dishes. Internet’s already pushing it, but cable TV? You gotta be kidding me…

  71. Dodo says:

    this is a pic taken in Romania(DIGI TV cable net)

  72. Chad says:

    This looks more like some kind of tourist bar rather than an actual home. The dish just makes it loose that Tiki feel.

  73. someone says:

    I live in Romania… and yes, there are poor families like this one in my country that live in such houses… It’s either all they can afford or it’s given to them by the town hall if they’re homeless, but it sure as hell beats living in a cardboard box, in garbage infested slums or alleyways…

    As for the antena… Digi TV is offering free services for a year…

  74. D says:

    As an employee for a cable company, I can tell you that when it comes to priorities, television is a lot higher that it should be.

    True Fact: 75% of people will call the cable company to complain about their service being out….during a power outage.

  75. SuperGanj says:

    WOW. Dish Cable Network, WIN!

  76. shadow says:

    If you take a trip through the villages in Romania you will see many houses like this :D

  77. Random says:

    American culture fail.
    Continental american egocentrism win.

    That IS Romania. check out [www.]digitv.ro/main.html
    Also that “shack” is just a friggin’ toolshed. Mudbricks are a cheap traditional building material in some countries.

  78. MyMalady says:

    you suck

  79. MyMalady says:

    and seriously is this like racial slur/ stereotype day.. jees, this is bad

  80. Lethal Larry says:

    Racist Douchebag.

  81. ClickClick says:

    Leunam, just ignore Anonymous.
    We tend to get a lot of young, unsupervised children on our country’s internet system. :-(

  82. xXJadeXx says:

    Life fail… racists suck.

  83. wood says:

    ruffled feathers win!

  84. MyMalady says:

    what now we have something against birds?? are we sexist too?? hehe

  85. Chuck Norris says:

    “our country’s internet system”?…

    FAIL!

    Can you please tell me WHICH country’s internet system I am on right now?

  86. Charles says:

    I wouldn’t have sex with a bird..again.

  87. MyMalady says:

    pecker fail?

  88. who says:

    hooray for globalization!

  89. evil me says:
