the difference between being made in mexico or usa is the side of the boundary where the mexicans assemble it
Lol, so true.
lol that’s so funny
and true
lmao
America != USA?
But wait, last I checked Mexico was in America… just not the USA.
Political Correctness Fail
political correctness fail my ass
its a fact
so sothern america isnt america?
knowlege of continentants fail^^^
America is the name for a whole continent, not just a simple country.
Anyway it’s a funny fail.
funny i don’t remember that continent. and there are still only 7, right?
america would be TWO continents.
and i don’t think Wonder was saying Coolidge had a PC fail. I think he was referring to the fact that the “America Fail” was a PC fail.
As a students in Spain I learned about 6 continents, North and South America being one. Whereever you are at though, North and South America can be referred to as “The Americas.”
knowledge of how to spell “continents” fail.
Knowledge of how of to spell “continents” fail.
Redundancy fail.
Double post fail.
Mexico is in Central America, on the Continent of North America.
OMG Brian, America is only one continent, divided in North, Central and South America.
Continents of Earth:
Asia
Europe
Africa
North America
South America
Antarctica
Australia
Basic Geography FAIL!
actually it’s asia europe africa oceany( i dont know how to say it in english(in portuguese it’s Oceania)) antarctica and AMERICA
america is one continent divided in 3 parts:central, north and south.
BTW AUSTRALIA IS A COUNTRY NOT A CONTINENT! ’cause (for example) new zeland is a part of ocenay as well.
BIG GEOGRAPHY FAIL
AUSTRALIA is a country and a continent. Michael posted the correct list of continents. Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
Political Correctness WIN, as it’s TRUE.
Pedantry Win.
Let’s come up with other “looks like a fail but isn’t”
Like “Europe’s guitar. Made in Iceland”
Or “Asia’s guitar. Made in India”
Or “Britain’s Guitar. Made in Ireland.”
That should say northern ireland. Gaelic fail.
Not understanding the joke fail
Not understanding the fail of not understanding that the fail was put in the anti fail posting of the thing with the other thing of you know the thing as if the thing were the thing but really it wasn’t the thing even though the thing appeared in the spoiler of the thing before you paid twenty dollars to see the thing about the thing that didn’t understand the failing of the thing when the thing was in fact put into publication of the thing that didn’t actually make sense in the first thing of things.
I was going somewhere….but then my mapquest made me go down the wrong thing…oh road that was it.
Northern Ireland isn’t part of Britain. Further Gaelic fail.
It’s part of the United Kingdom. Great minds think alike win.
@Gre: GEOGRAPHY AND POLITICS WIN
*celebrates*
We are ‘British’ citizens, though. Confusing terminology.
LOL Gay lick
come up with that yourself james?
Fianna Fáil.
“Denmark’s guitar. Made in Greenland.”
Well, Britan’s Guitar, made in Ireland would be wrong, since Ireland isn’t a part of the Great Britan, North-Ireland is, Ireland is a country of it’s own, both being parts of Europe.
I know, Americans tend to forget the rest of the world.
and then, they don’t know why everybody hates them…
You people fail at reality.
I think you’re right. Canadians and Mexicans should start calling themselves Americans. Especially when you’re visiting places like Syria, Iran, Lebanon, etc…
oh wait…There’s no way in hell you’d do that because everyone knows they are going to think that you’re from the U.S. and you wouldn’t want that would you.
Convenient how when you start to feel insignificant your American but when you’re feeling a little too conspicuous *poof* what continent is Canada on again?
everyone from north, central, and south america are americans.
exactly. Technically they are in America. No they should not start calling themselves american. It’s just a technicality calm down people.
Its ust that nowone should call as as themselve americans ust if u r generalizing between americans but if u wanna talk of one country is incorrect to call themselves americans.
Were you drunk when you typed this or are you just retarded?
To avoid the problem you should probably get a name for your country. The United States of America is not a name, it´s just what you are :p.
Technicall Fail!
Technically citizens of the US should call themselves USians. That way Mexicans and Canadians wouden’t be ashamed to use the term american. Let the flamming begin!
Weren’t you just bought by the Belgians?
The chocolate was a tempting offer but we are holding out a Tropical country to buy us out because a great beach is all our country is missing!
Yeah Belgians have rubbish beaches.
pwned.
So true
Right everyone hates us.
Such. A. Fallacy.
I could list 1,000 cases of this not being true. I´ve been in spain for 2 months and I have yet to be mocked or discriminated or whatever you want to call it for being American. And I speak enough spanish to have a political conversation. Yes i do tell them i´m from United States.
Seriously. This is only true for countries that have hated us fro a LONG time.
susceptibility WIN !
just try to relax a bit, nobody hates you … personally !
Ya, well, Spain doesn’t count. You have common hobbies- their Conquistadores were the first to oppress and rob Mexico, your tycoons are the latest. You can chat about- oh, I don’t know- slave labour techniques, ways to suppress resistence- and generally get along juust fine.
Although, I must agree that ‘hatred’ might not be the right term for how most people view the USA. Patronizing contempt about sums it up where I come from.
Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that Spain doesn’t count as a country.
Would you like to explain what does count? Estonia, perhaps?
Yes, everyone must view America with patronizing contempt. That’s why we have 38 million immigrants, why people risk their lives just to come.
That makes perfect sense.
Bravo, sir.
Djibouti? Or the Gambia? Those shouldn’t really count as countries, on principle.
Betcha we get more immigrants!
They come in overcrowded boats and hidden in containers from Africa.
That’s an easy one to answer… Did you remember that a long (not so long) time ago there were some human beings called Slaves in your country? well this human beings that most Master beings treated like shit, were REally importan beings, and not because of being humans… it was because they were practically free work hand, so the Master Being could have his job done whitout the need to pay a salary SO the incomings were greater to him.
Well, when the slave thing was abolish in your country, your country faced a real problem… that job that was made by slaves by almost free, now haved to be payed whit a salary and that obviously meant less incomings for the Master which nows we’re going to call “United States”. What to do! whit the slaves becoming UNITED STATES citizens they have the right to collect a salary… so… someone start to turne the blind eye in other country undocumented (or illegaly as you like to name them= citizens that went to your county searching for your widely announced but barely true “American Dream” so your country didn’t suffer for lack of slaves, because they they substitute them whit people who freely volunteer to do hard work by a misery salary that if it wasn`t for free, was less than the payment for an “American Citizen” and that also means greater incomings. But like lately your goverment has noticed the importance to give their own citizens the jobs… now the arey shouting to the four winds that they need them out… ’cause in their perfect plan was a BIG mistake… the insignificant salary that was paid to the indocumented worker… became a great leakage of money from your country to others when this workers became a 38 million people.
More countries than just spain have done that in the past. Hmm… Romans, Everyone who came here in the first place did it to what we now call native americans, tribes do it to other tribes it’s all over history. We are not the first, we are just dumb from not learning from the mistakes that people made before us.
It helps that you know the language. Fluently.
what the … is this my name ? how do you … ?
nice one, indeed !
I once downloaded sofrtware. Illegally.
And I once punched a baby.
consider yourself expiated.
Okay punching a baby can be forgiven, but you’re gonna have to be put in shackles for downloading Creative Suite 3 illegally…
lol durrr.. us europeans don’t hate americans themselves, because we actually know what’s going on in your country and show some form in interest in your politics and culture, meaning we know not every american is a war supporting republican christian asshole who beats up homosexuals. we do, however, hate war supporting republican christian assholes who beat up homosexuals, like the prototype-tards always shown to us on tv. thank god our press doesn’t glorify america the way our fecktard politicians do.
And believe me it is very embarrassing for those of us Americans that are paying attention, and extremely frustrating. Even when we think we have voted in someone who may change the course of our political direction, it gets negated by those that really dictate how the country is run.
How else does one explain the goat-roping, platitude espousing (and can’t even get those right), moronic, gap-toothed, bible-thumping, nitwit that currently sits at the head of our government? The corporate money-men decided that he would be the easiest to control and got him put in place in any way they could.
Outraged American WIN!
(I’m RIGHT there with ya, too…)
Jesus, in wich part of Spain do you live? the American Embassy? USians
(“Technically citizens of the US should call themselves USians. That way Mexicans and Canadians wouden’t be ashamed to use the term american. Let the flamming begin!”) are kicked in the face every day all over the world. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_5NRvVGdy8o Just check that video in Valencia.
Yes, Fallacy that everybody hates “Americans” or more correctly in Spanish “Estadounidenses” (because nobody calls you “Americans” in other languages”)
It is only that “Americans” hates everybody else or at least think of them like lesser eings beings so, to justify this kind of way of thinking, they say that they’re the ones who are hated. (Of course that this is a way of thinking promoted by your goverment so not every “american” citizen knows that they are manipulated to think that everybody hates them)
But reality is that nobody cares a shit for them so if the are ok, it’s ok, and if not, itis ok too. And that’s is why everybody else in the world calls them: Estadounidenses, gringos, or whatever (except for France that lick your “Americain” butt)
Come On guys you’re “Americans” because a Narcisissistic Thought about being the most important country in America, but that is not true… You’re just another county in the map like any other which economy has never been strong in reality (because the most of your currency is not backed in precious metals or genuine possessions) which greatness is based on the lies told in a Hollywood movies, and that the only thing that year by year is surely made by you is (sadly) war…
Amen! *claps*
america is my third least favorite country after china and belgium
Nobody likes the Belgians.
I say we invade them and take all their uber-yummy chocolate.
There’s no need for such gratuitous use of that word in polite society.
In the words of Nigel Powers (Austin’s father), they share a border with the dutch.
And the Dutch are awesome. I.e. Belgium rocks. (I’m Dutch…)
By Americans you mean everyone in Canada, Mexico and USA right? Otherwise you just did the same thing you are saying the “Americans” forgot to do…
don’t forget Brazil, Panama, Chile, Peru, Guyana and all the Americans in South America…
but please do forget argentina!
You’ve got a point
Worst fail ever.
this fail is a failtastrophe.
What? America is more than the US of A (the best country in the world)? Well that’s just stupid… ya’ll… You can’t know much if you don’t have been from America dudes. And by America I mean the USA, the best country in the world… ya’ll…
Naturally…
No, USA is not the best country in the world. It isn’t a proven fact. Nor is Canada the best country in the world. Nor is Afghanistan. No country is the best.
IMO, Canada is the best
Understanding the sarcasm discretely hidden in the above comment fail.
Oh those silly Americans.
By “Americans” you mean everyone in Mexico, USA and Canada right?
Actually, everyone from Argentina to Canada, and not only “technically”as some have said. I’ve been in USA once and met great people there, but sems that some of them still can’t see outside their boundaries. America is the continet, South, Central and North. Besides this, companies uses to use these kind of marketing strategies all the time.
notice how he mangled that paragraph? i guess he don’t have been from america.
Note the sarcasm? I am neither from the USA nor do I think it is the best country in the world.
BUT “America” as in “Made In America” ALWAYS means USA. Not Mexico or Canada. So it really IS a fail if it’s suppose to be a USA-American guitar but is made in Mexico.
I don’t see “Made in America” anywhere in the picture. Nor do I see it on
any “Made in USA” products.
For me, a guitar made in Mexico, Chile or Cuba is made in America. Just
as a guitar “Made in Europe” might in fact be a guitar made in Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan is in Europe? Geography fail.
Fact FAIL! Actually, part of Kazakhstan is in Europe (west of the Ural Mts.) and the rest is in Asia.
boom
Stupid monkey.
27% of Kazakhstan is in Europe (West Kazakhstan). Look at the globe, dude.
wow thanks for clearing that all up with those astounding deductions.
people get it. they are just pointing out that it would be a USA fail not Americas since that covers the entire western hemisphere.
everyone thinks their coutry is best … the difference with England is we KNOW we’re best
Hey dolt, you’re welcome for the save in WWII. Churchill was a flamer.
i wouldn’t be boasting too much about WWII
falls under one of those getting attacked = now we ’save’ everybody.
sounds rather familiar.
They may have waited until they were attacked to wade into the conflict, Bucko, but teh U.S.A. did pull our nuts out of the fire. Well done, and thanks, Yanks!
No offence Dolt, but it’s taken you guys a while to win something in the sports realm: the cricket against SA, the rugby, the football (soccer)… wishing you all the best for the Olympics, all we’ve got in our cards it a dude that runs on blades, cool to look at but not great for the medal-tally.
look it was only a joke and anyway we came 4th in the olimpics and the only countries ahead of us were bigger than some continents
and of course COMPLETELY innocent of slavery or genocide.
WHAT?
acadians. look it up. may also appear as “cajuns.”
y’all.
yeah, and you’re not called the “United States of Europe”, the USA needs a real name…
punctuation fail. y’all = you all.
I don’t know why people keep claiming that. I’ve never heard a non-United-States-of-American call themself American. I’m Canadian. We don’t call ourselves American. I know a few Mexicans and South Americans, and they identify themselves by their country, not their continent.
America = United States of America.
Canada + Mexico + America = North America.
Buncha other countries = South and Central America.
South America + North America + Central America = The Americas.
The only people I’ve heard insisting that “America” refers to all countries in North, South, and Central America are Europeans. It’s just wrong. Drop it.
Yay! Someone with a brain.
WIN!
Thank you!
Totally agree!!!!!
do you have drop-dead gorgeous looks to go with those brains?
Canadians call themselves Canadians for good reason: their country is Canada. Mexicans – Mexico. Australians – Australia. Belgians – Belgium. So, following this pattern we get United-States-of-American? And for Ireland and The United Kingdom – oh, tricky.
The U.N. calls US citizens “U.S. Americans”, not “Americans”. The people in the Buncha other countries in Central and South America are offended more so than people in North America by the term “American”. They’re probably the ones doing the most of the insisting.
Me, I’m still using “American”. Don’t know if I really need a guitar all that badly though.
Actually, if you all were motivated enough to learn about Martin Guitars you would find out that the German C.F. Martin emmigrated to America (the USA) to aviod a trade guild dispute. The slogan itself does, in fact, refer to the USA, not to the American continents. The guitar pictured is one of their cheaper models, which explains being made in Mexico. Interestingly, since there is nothing more American than being a consumer rather than a producer, having your guitar made in Mexico is probably more American than making them in the USA.
I couldnt have said it better myself. Outsourcing- the american way
I think the reason people both in and out of the USA call it America is because everyone calls them Americans. Not sure what else you would call them, United-States-of-Americans?
Sort of like you call people from Mexico… Mexicans…
United States of Amerians = Americans, unless you would prefer USAens or South of Canada North of Mexico somewhere in the middlens.
Fact is, when in the history of any product has the producer targeted a continent rather than a country?… to assume this ment the entire American continent is just assinine.
Nice catch
typical USA americans-thinking they own the entire continent.and while you’re at it start thinking about what to call yourselves when people start realising that youre not the only country in america. you do no its the US of A and not the other way around/
i have one of those guitars, it says on the box americas guitar made in mexico, manufactured in china
rofl
This is a lame ‘fail’, completely pants.
Hrm. Still, “America” usually refers to North America, i.e the USA, not the south. At least, that’s what a lot of Europeans think of when America is mentioned. Not the best fail, but still somewhat amusing.
There is more to North America then USA. you can’t say “in example the USA” you should say “Specifically the USA”. I’m Canadian and, oddly enough, I live in North America. I do not call myself “American” and I do actually feel a little offended when people call me that, However, in the global view (or Politically correct view (which is no longer politically correct to say)) I am North American, which gets truncated to “American”. A friend told me about a bike company that was the “only company to make trials bikes in America”, and was happy because he could go down to the manufacturing plant in Brazil and see his bike being made. While in the global sense America can mean (pretty much) the western hemisphere, as soon as we get nationalistic America is the states. The only thing that annoys me is when people forget about the rest of North America when talking about it. My room mate had to call a company for supplies in his photo lab, but that person (outsourced to India) told him that they could not ship parts to Canada as they “only ship to North America.” Since he wasn’t in the USA she didn’t think that she could ship there.
I guess I’m just waiting for the North American Union to happen to give me an excuse to move to Australia.
OH YEAH! Come to Australia baby
Language Fail. The abbreviation ‘i.e.’ does not stand for ‘in example’. Nor does it meant that. It stands for ‘id est’ and means ‘that is’.
What ‘Ghostie’ said was still false. And dumb.
I agree and understands. EDITORIAL WIN
the US isn’t the only country in north america
thanks dolt
Earth to USA, Earth to USA … come in, USA! You FAIL!

Someone’s been watching Squidbillies.
Major brain failure alert!!~~
You expect brilliance from someone named cacapeepee?
He has a point there…
Yeah, USA think they’re THE AMERICA. But America is also Canada, Mexico. Don’t forget about South America… FAIL!

There dragons. There castle
Failing fail failed. Fail.
I don’t get it? Where’s the fail?
My geography teacher told me that Mexico is located in Middle America. So it’s in the center of America. It’s more american than any other country.
Or is the “fragile – handle with care” button the fail? Wrong colour? (Yeah, with a “u”!!!)
This theory assumes “the center” of everything is the most pertinent part of it. Reality fail…
Homework Assignment: Tell your teacher, he/she should stop slandering our youth with her impressions of the way things should be.
Designed in America
Made in Mexico
Assembled in CHINA
Everything is actually Made in China
but labelled as something else
China WIN!
Human Rights FAIL – Global Economic Domination WIN
I bet GWB wishes he could abuse some human rights… oh sorry – i forgot about Guantanamo, Iraq (Insert appropriate 3rd world nation)
He abused Americans as well, by turning the largest Surplus in HIstory into the Largest Deficit
why don’t you two crotchwaffles go to punditkitchen…
Hey, F-’tard. Congress controls the wallet.
China is my least favorite country … i think we should start a war with it … after all isn’t that why we invaded iraq and afganistan, to stop human rights abuses?
No, to control oil and go on a couple of crusades.
Lame.
That has already been said, but America’s not only USA… it’s like you’ve made a fail on “Europa’s Guitar – Made in Spain” for example, that’s OK the same.
no, that’s not the same.
Europe is a continent, Europa’s one of Jupiter’s moons.
I want a guitar made on Jupiter. That would be a definite win.
It would be OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Duuuuuuuurrrrrr!
High-gravity guitars: For when you need to get really HEAVY.
A content? Do you mean it shouldn’t be a continent? Or maybe you mean it shouldn’t be acontent (as in discontent?), which means you’re saying Europe should be content. Yes Dave, I think Europe should be content, the Euro’s has strong gains in recent months against most currencies.
no, you were right the first time, it shouldn’t be a continent.
Continent fail! Europa is one of Jupiter’s moons, you moron.
You are technically right, but most people (and not just people from the USA) mean the USA when the say America. Just take a look at the thousands of comments on this very site that say things like “you Stupid Americans, Americans are idiots”, etc. Do you think those people are talking about Mexicans and Canadians?
Most people? How do you know that? Apart from witnessing a few assholes on this site of course.
The majority of assholes on other sites use it that way too.
Relax Chris you wouldn’t want that sphincter of yours to act up now would you…
Incidentally I’m from neither Europe nor North America. I’m African. South African sure but African nonetheless. Chris, South Africa is somewhere in Mexico okay?
What the hell are you talking about? I think you are inserting a tone into my comment which is not there. I was just making a statement. I personally think the term “American” when used to refer to people from the USA. I was merely pointing out that this is the way the term is perceived and usually used. That’s why this picture would be funny to some people. (Its not really that funny, though).
I also have no idea why you are assuming that I am ignorant of African geography. Furthermore, your insult doesn’t in any way pertain to my comment. It’s like you couldn’t think of anything to say, and just pulled something out of left field. I am not annoyed by your comment or angry, but I am curious as to why you made it. Can you please explain?
Nah, that’d take the fun out of it…
I fail for trying to have an intelligent conversation on the internet. What was I thinking. Ok, back to the insults.
This is in fact a meta fail – a fail of the person publishing the fail, and somebody should label it as “geographic culture metafail”
yeah, fail failed
FAIL!!!!
Mexico is also America, like Canada, Brazil, Guatemala, Costa Rica…
Don’t you all know??? Mexico is in the middle east!! well… at least for a great, great number of americans.
Submitter fail.
It’s ironic isn’t it? The person who was ignorant enough to submit this was most likely American…
what amazing powers of perception you must have, to be able to deduce what nationality a person is by the picture they submit. You are truly gifted.
No, all it implies, was that when the person who submitted this hears “America”, they think “USA”. I would say that is the case for most “Americans”… oh, I mean “USAians”… oh wait… So, someone from the “USA” is “American”… but “made in America” means the two continents of North and South America?
Make up your damn mind fail.
The irony, is that you used “American” in your post in exactly the same way which you are making fun of the submitter for using “America”
Haha true. Comment wi…. wait a second, you’ve got Chuck Norris as your name. Nobody’s had that for about 2 years. Win retracted.
I’ve had it for about 3 weeks… Can’t speak to what was going on here 2 years ago.
Besides, Chuck Norris loves America… all interpretations of the word…. Chuck Norris thinks Coolidge is probably Canadian… which is not great, but technically part of one of the Americas… Chuck Norris thinks there is a small chance Coolidge may be French, which is not good…. for Coolidge….
Mate you’re way off. Chuck Norris jokes are from the Triassic.
I didn’t make a Chuck Norris joke, I just put my name as Chuck Norris. Check your eyes.
coolidge just got roundhouse kicked to the triasic.
walk it off
Ahaha, US people are so easy to annoy. No wonder there’s so much war.
Random Middle Eastern Country: “We don’t like the USA very much…”
USA: “WHAT?!?!?? YOU DIE NOW!”
Yeah, that’s exactly how it goes.
See how you like it when they drag YOUR dead soldiers through the streets.
It’s still USA’s fault if the soldiers are there
Man, you’ve got it all figured out.
“US people”? Good good! I see you learned a little something from my post. Stopped using “Americans” already.
Yeah rather use “Hicks.”
Kidding…
Your kidding angers Chuck Norris.
Drumroll….. cymbal! I got a Chuck Norris Joke out of you.
I guess if every American was a hick, then yeah, that would be ok…. I don’t know every American… I only know a handful… so, I really can’t say.
using your logic, can I assume that everyone from where you hail is an “ignorant ass”?
perhaps “arrogant ass”
Yeah, that works too. I like having options.
Yeah that’s fine. I’m from Belgium btw.
That’s ok. We won’t hold it against you.
Oh wait that depends. Are you from the Dutch speaking part
or (gasp) Walloon?
I bet (s)he’s from Flanders (the ‘Dutch speaking part’) (‘In Flanders’ fields, where poppies grow…’ etc). I’m Dutch. I know these things.
Also I think Flemmish=Dutch speaking win. It is so much more awesome than standard Dutch.
Coolidge, judging by your inane, stereotyping, close-minded comments on this thread, I think you’d fit in quite nicely with all of us American-er, I mean USAians here in the good ole’ United States.
If a war concerns our country (USA) its either about money or future money.
If it isn’t? Well we still like making a stir no problem with that.
WE DID IT FOR THE LULZ
REPLYING TO MY OWN COMMENT IS A SIGN OF EGOING
Furthermore, there are few products in the USA made in the USA.
Most of everything has “Made In china” “Made In mexico” etc.
LOOK WHAT HE DID! HE DIDN’T GIVE THE NAMES PROPER RESPECT
HE DID NOT CAPITALIZE THEM WHAT A PRETENTIOUS USA AMERICAN!
Lol!
You’re actually wrong about the irony part. Even if a person from Mexico or Canada submitted this, it’s still a fail. I mean the fail fails to fail. Whatever, you get my drift.
first, next is gay!
You fail at intimidation. I don’t mind being gay, as I’m a girl.
I’m in yur failblog, stealin your womens.

I would say, the “America’s Guitar®” is shown as a brand, so they can produce it where they want.
Brand win, submitter fail
estadunidenses. bah.
sim, estadunidenses troxas.
sip, tiene mas sentido que “unitedstatsian”
“estadunidenses. bah.”
exatamente ^^.
English fail,Portuguese WIN ^^.we have a word for “USians”,you don’t,haha
Mexico WIN. And hey they say Chuck Norris is so tough that underneath his beard is ANOTHER FIST!
Your name is wrong.
I think you meant to type “Clown that met Chuck Norris”
What does that even mean????
BAHAHAAAAAAHAHAHA! i got it.
Country vs continent identification fail.
Maybe they meant America, the band.
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name,
It felt good to be out of the rain.
USPTO fail! How can “America’s Guitar” be a registered trademark? It is purely descriptive and thus it cannot be monopolised.
The trademark is on the company name. Next to “Guitar” is a circled U, I think.
Are they kosher guitars?
Well, there is a Paul Simon signature model:
The same way any slogan can be a registered trademark. All slogans are descriptive.
Is it really like this in the US? Not outside of it…
Sure is.
Okay, than I correct myself: trademark law fail!
Geography class fail!
Fail failure!
This is not a fail for the reasons given above. (There is plenty of America outside the USA).
semantic douchebaggery.
all this means is all yall together dont know shit
Wow, he not only used “Y’all” on the Internet, but he forgot the apostrophe.
Thanks a lot for making our country look even dumber.
MMMMM
The country in its whole is dumb, though it has smart citizens lets say.. 10 to 25 ratio.. Then you should expect that the overwhelming odds are the result of..
LACK OF COMMON SENSE TRAINING
“But Thedabun, how could someone train common sense?”
BY WATCHING AMERICAS FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS/ALL VIDEOS THAT HAVE
PEOPLE TEACHING YOU WHAT YOU SHOULDN’T DO IN LIFE!
RogueThree…honestly, I think we do a fine job of it already. I teach British Lit at a university, and one of my students once wrote in a paper (and I SWEAR I am not making this up):
“The character of Viola in Twelfth Night is very different from the character of Violet in the movie Shakespeare in Love. And I think Shakespeare meant them to be different.”
The dumb….it hurts!!!!
Total location of origin fail…this is obviously Italian…it says Fragile (pronounced frah-jeel-ai)
Ha!! Shall we put it in the window for all the neighbors to see???
Of course…It is a major award after all!
THEY TOOK OUR JOBS!
“‘Ey tuk ur jerbs!”
Durr durr durr!!
a bit like the “Free Tibet” flags which say “Made in China” on the wrapper
more like a geography fail on submitter’s part.
It’s those shifty Luxemburgerian I dislike. I wish the French Armée would “accidentally” take a wrong turn and occupy the place. France’s military prowess has fallen far but I think they can manage at least that much.
I want to live in Luxembourg… don’t kill it.
Yeah awesome tax breaks there!
France had military prowess?
Am i first yet?
You must rember dat is vry Murikin ting to tayk sumpin & call it theirs. Like Mom & apple pi(never mind the land), as if no1 ever had a mom b4 dere wuz a YouEssAye, & Apple pie was prfected long afore 1492!
Do you people know that America is a continent and not a country?
So, if it is America’s guitar, it can be done in Argentina, Canada, Mexico or any other country located in America. So stop being so arrogant thinking America is just your little country
Argentina is in South America, did you know thats a different continent? So a Guitar Made there would be South American not American. Maybe we should rename that continent or have the US Americans start refering their population as Useans.
Renaming the continent seems much simpler.
Mexico is part of North America. Geography fail.
United States of America is not a name, the continent name is America and usa is because that union of states is IN America, Mexico is an union of states too, but Mexico does have name not like usa, I live in El Salvador and I’m an american boy
actually, the continent is north america.
America is a country now. That’s waht we named the place when we tossed your asses out after the battle of Yorktown. Sometimes we call it the USA, when we are not being lazy and feel like making guitars…doesn’t happen much anymore…but hey…we still make the BEST guitars in the world….How’s that for arrogant
What’s the difference between a salesman and a saleswoman?
A saleswoman has a vagina.
*SNORTGIGGLE!* WIN!
Aren’t their brains a third the size of ours?
damn Yanks.
manu seis são mto burro americanos bestas
mexico é na america
xD
paulista. so pode. idiota.
GM,,, mexico this in america, idiots! united states, mexico, argentina etc. … Countries are americas
Have we forgotten that there’s a picture up there ^ ?
I’m sure there are plenty of websites for people who want to get hardcore with the keyboard and argue over whether Mexico should be considered American or not.
If you don’t like the picture, don’t waste your time having an argument over it.
Now sit back, enjoy the picture, and stop being so damn picky about nationalities!
That is all (:
this is failblog. we’re here for the comments, not the pictures.
NAFTA WIN, USA jobs FAIL
BLOG FAIL
MEXICO = CENTRAL AMERICA
you fail. mexico is in fact part of north america. central america is not even a continent, it’s a region, it is still part of the continent of north america. study geography and get it right before you correct someone else.
anywho, all this debating of america vs usa vs north america vs south america is silly. sorry we americans didn’t have enough imagination to come up with a name that doesn’t include half the name of the continent we’re on.
Only the people of USA think they must be called americans, but america is not a country…..this make me think about the EURO Kills Dollar,jejejejeje USA the best country of the world????pfffffff kiss my …….
yeah! EURO FTW
We still only have kroner. (crowns). But because of the oil in the north sea it’s still strong, regarding not the price of it, but the current value.
ops!!!
shouldn’t have mentioned the oil!
the “Americans” might come and “liberate us”!!!
This is NOT a fail!
America does not mean exclusively the United States of America !!!
pffff…
i’m sure it was made in china.
Everything is.
Mexico is in the continent AMERICA! Dumbass
You can get a Fender Strat made in Mexico by Mexicans, or you can pay $500 more to get a Strat made in America by Mexicans.
In to say that CF Martin guitars are made in Nazareth, PA. Its actually a great company that takes care of their employees. I’m guessing it was just the backing on their guitar that was made in mexico. You can go on tours there and they show you how they make the guitars.
So really, all this arguing is for nothing. Quite funny.
Erm, Mexico is in America you morons… South America sure but it said “Americas”, not USA, not North America….
More geography fail. Mexico is in North America. See all the comments above and apply deduction or just use an atlas.
French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese each have a word for “National of the United States”. Weird huh?
Please!
Stop trying to make people from the US to change their mind! We love when they come here to Costa Rica and identify themselves as Americans.
Why? It’s so funny to see how stupid they are that they are the only ones in the world who indentify themselves by their continent and not by their country as the rest of the world does.
BTW, could someone from the US tell me where is Costa Rica and where is Puerto Rico? Aren’t they islands? Aren’t they the same???
HELL NO! the U.S. people learns geography on the weather forecast on TV.
For them, Alaska is only a quarter as big as reality, and the rest of the world is refered to as: everywere else.
Look here:
Quote from South Park when the boys are being obducted by aliens for the 2nd time, and they’re looking at planet Earth far, far away:
“Guys. This is the second time we have been outside America!”
i love it XD
But the truth is that i understand them. Because most modern cultural influence comes from the U.S. so they dosen’t need to know any better.
And they don’t
Wow. 300 million people and they’re all the same to you? You’re really smart. No wait – ignorant. Yeah, that’s the word.
this is based on general view
like some other people’s view on:
Democrats
Republicans
Californians
Mormons
“HillBillies”
Muslims
Women
Asians
Colored people
it’s general view based on data and facts
i’m i lying when i say: most people in american prisons are Af.Am.men?
Great! You’re comparing yourself to other idiots who have a “general view” (which is usually called “stereotype” or “prejudice”) of groups of people. It’s not based upon data and facts but on the way your perception works. You’re ignorant. Or dumb. Or both.
Oh, and what has that to do with the US (see that? I’m avoiding the word “American”. Unlike you did.) prison inmates?
*1 I’m not comparing myself to other idiots who have a “general view” (which is usually called “stereotype” or “prejudice”) I’m comparing my self to EVERYBODY! who never prejudged? example: an infant see’s a stranger and starts crying—> strange=scary.
*2 stereotype means “one of the pack”, not to compare with prejudice (a’ll thou wee all are;))
*3 perception means a point of view. ergo a view, like general view.
*4 i did neighter mean prisons i the U.S. I did really mean the whole America.
most people there are Native Africans. My Grandpa’ is black… in a Colombian prison…. So you are counter-pwnd on that point
*5 What it has to do with it is? that it’s the goverments that is crazy like Heath Ledger’s joker. they learn us what they want to learn us and blinds us from other directions. thats why my view on U.S. people are like that. yes the world is fcuked a-thank you.
*6 i made you prejudge me by my first comment.
Tnx for interesting conversation, but i’m sorry to inform you that:
You have been PWND x 6
Hell, you’re dumb. But ok.
1. Look up those words. You obviously don’t know the correct definition for any of those.
2. Your explanation…wait: “explanation” of what you said in your first comment lacks logic. Prison inmates in “the whole America” prove that it’s the goverment that’s crazy? Which goverment? And still: What does that have to do with your previously stated USA-bashing?
3. I wasn’t pre-judging you. I responded to a statement you made. If you don’t understand the difference between that and a comment like “the U.S. people learns geography on the weather forecast on TV” then there’s no more hope for you.
4. I haven’t been “pwnd” because this is not a game but an argument. And I have to inform you that you’re clearly showing that you suck at this. Which wouldn’t be a big problem if you ever had learned to shut your mouth if you don’t know enough about something.
Ask yourself: How do you feel if you hear dumbass statements like “all blacks are…” or “all Norwegians are…”? Especially if the following words are negative. Not too good? Then stop doing the same about 300 million US-Americans.
I’ve asked myself: How do you feel if you hear dumbass statements like “all blacks are…” or “all Norwegians are…”? Especially if the following words are negative.
i Guess i don’t feel much to it. i’ve heard statments like that since i was in kindtergaarden. But you are right. i guess i’m a little stigmatized by the media.
i was wrong.
sorry.
cudos & 2 che
you are very good at debating. just cut the “moan, you are dumb” bit.
dice roll: 5
Hope you feel good about that.
I’m actually shocked. I did not expect that. Respect to you.
And I hereby take back my last comment below.
Mexico is in America. Retards
Geography fail.
Pop Quiz: Mexico is part of North _____________.
(a) Africa
(b) Pole
(c) America
(d) Dakota
is it (b)? im sure its (b).
Belguim > America
oldoldold post, but i feel compelled to say this anyway. the martin factory is in nazareth, pennsylvania (AMERICA) and i have been there twice for tours. the pic is either fake, or the mexico stamp was added by someone as a joke.
You mean nazareth, pennsylvania (USA), don’t you?
If you have read this far down the posts, you officially have no life according to the United Stated government. Pretty sure its the same story anywhere else.
i think in one hand, most people choose themselves what to do with their lifes
and in another hand, MOST people aren’t under U.S. government jurisdiction.
NB.
If someone disses my english grammar, i will ask them;
how is your norwegian?
there’s not a fail… if you see… mexico is part of america like argentina, honduras, brazil etc.
Help us all!!!!
The most influensal nation in the world is also the most ignorant!!!
we’re doomed…
For us europeans, the comments on any, yes, ANY U.S. site is fcuking hilarious!
But the funniest part, is that you don’t get the jokes that is on you!
Don’t take this the wrong way, I love The Daily Show and The Colbert Report
but only for the things they both say wrong
Cudos to 60 minutes for being the only smartazz export television program from U.S.
he-heh! CNN: fair & balanced. roflmao
p.s. When divided into only North and South (America), and not North, Middle and South (America); Mexico is in North America.
Google it.
I strongly refuse that an idiot like you talks on behalf of all Europeans. Apart from the part about Colbert and Stewart I’m not sharing your ignorant points of view. Even though I’m an European. What up now?
i speak for myself a-thank you.
and you can speak for yourself
it’s healthy! seen my last reply further up?
Yep, sadly I have. Took my some time to reply.
Now, shall we take a closer look at what you said? I’ll quote:
“For us europeans…”
See?
oh. that common general view
I give up. You’re way too stupid to be able to argue. I really hope that a GWB think-alike like you never rises to a position of power. Just one more thing that you for sure also will not understand:
Admitting mistakes is a sign of strength, not weakness.
The whole world gets most shit from china. children works cheap you know.
Not fail mexico is in america
ok, so I know this is an old FAIL, but you know what else is funny about this? the company was founded the year that slavery was abolished in the UK & other British Colonies (which America WAS NOT at the time, still funny though) :p
There IS no fail!
U guys think that America is USA, well, ur WRONG. America is a continent, USA is a country, but guys think u OWN the continent, so Hollywood started chanching in the movies the word “USA” for “America”
¬¬
mexico is in america u douches
Yes it is. Mexico is in America, Geography and basic knowledge fail…
mexico is actually in america.
america is not a trademark owned by usa morons.
All of you fail. Mexico is in Central America, which (to the Panama Canal) is part of North America. Technically you could say that Mexico is in North America, but usually the term ‘America’ without the preceding ‘North, South or Central’ is considered the USA. It’s not trademarked, yeah, but most people refer to the USA as America.
Just “AMERICA”, is not a continent dimwits, calling ‘America’ a continent is similar to when Sarah Palin called Africa a country.
BASIC KNOWLEDGE FAIL.
Even in the North, Middle, South America criteria; Mexico is in North America, thinking it is in Middle America is a common mistake based on Mexico’s language.
Also, even if America would refer only to the US;
Why America’s choice of guitar can’t be made outside the US?
I am Mexican and my choice of cookies is made in France.
Yeah, Americans kinda repulse me when they come to the point of calling themselves and their country “america” when you know, America is bigger than your little selves.
I mean come on, you could have chosen a country name that was actually applyable to its citizen (United-Statans?)
Nah. America is America. Mexico is Mexico. You’re just jealous. Anyway, considering the obvious lack of consistency, the guitar was probably made in China.
Martin has a factory like 12 miles across the boarder in mexico, its still managed by the same Americans as there other factory in California. silly still, but find me a company that has a 100 percent American made and manufactured guitar. i think gibsons are 30 percent or something crazy thike that?
how sad and true.
Well, it’s closer to America than China is, so it’s a start.
Actually it’s not a fail. “America” does not mean “US”, it’s a whole continent….
Not to be anal about this… but Mexico is in America. You’re confusing America, the name of a continent, with the name of a country; the United States of America.
