Not fail enough.
Dude how is this not a fail? Maybe it’s a slightly less humorous fail but a fail nevertheless!
Wtf? It’s 11:06 AM here?
Fail….
Triple-post fail…
No fail at all if this is from India – which we don’t know. In this case it would be “1 lakh 20 thousand”, “one lakh” meaning “a hundred thousand”. Next time, check out local habits before shouting “fail”.
dude
really
mmmmmmmm
Dude, you’re getting a Durrrrr
Q: What do you call a guy who graduates dead last in his medical school class?

Brought to you by The Coalition For Common Sense
Re-elect Bush in ‘08!
Meh. It’s like Alien vs. Predator, whoever wins, we lose.
i agree
“Brought to you by The Coalition For Common Sense
Re-elect Bush in ‘08!”
DOUBLE FAIL!
Go on, elect Bush (wait….) yes McFace, double fail indeed.
why are we talking about a bush?
We are referring to The current U.S. President, who’s record breaking number of Fails can and have filled volumes. I’m not surprised you haven’t heard of him recently, he’s managed not to do anything TO stupid for a awhile. I’ve got a poll going for how long it can last.
correction: TOO stupid…
fail.
totally not a fail
err, yes it is. it should be 120,00 not 1,20,00
simple isn’t it!
FAIL it should be $12,000
Currency structure fail.
Actually it says: $1,20,000 not $1,20,00. So it really should be $120,000.
If it was REALLY supposed to be only $12,000…this would be a HUGE fail. I wouldn’t be thanking the tutor who did so well to only get me $12,000 annually after college.
No, it’s a fail because the ad agency publicized a typo.
The only typo is a dot in a wrong place.
It’s not a “dot,” it’s a “comma.”
oh.
now i finally understand this …
Actually that’s a comma. It’s like a dot with a flick.
That’s what makes it a typo. What were you expecting?
1. Punctuation Identification FAIL. “dot”? Try “comma”.
2. Reading Comprehension FAIL. It’s not in the wrong place … either it
shouldn’t be there at all, or there should be another ‘0′.
Two FAILS in 10 words, nice ratio!
Sorry corwin but you have also failed because if the comma shouldn’t be there at all then this proves that IS in the wrong place.
No, you fail at understanding corwin.
If it was in the wrong place then it should be somewhere else in the text.
this is kinda like “pay it foward” but with FAIL in it
so you’re saying it isn’t in the wrong place?
This is not a fail. The $1,20,000 read one lakh 20 thousand. The lakh system is british I believe.
This is a failure of identification of fail.
even if its not a FAIL of typing, but a FAIL of FAIL idetification it is still a FAIL.
Cost of entire college education: $80,000
Opportunity cost of actually going to college: $120,000
Intended advertising: Benefit of Going to College: $12,000 salary annually
Minimum Wage ($7.65) at McDonalds for a year: $15,240 salary annually
Total cost of lifelong stupidity and indentured loan servitude: PRICELESS
Total, epic, lifelong, embarrassing cataclysmic FAIL.
Brought to you by the coalition for Common Sense.
Re-elect bush in ‘08!!
Wait, so your point is that education is useless and therefore Bush is awesome?
Also, knowledge of the American electoral system FAIL!
Wait, so your point is that education is useless and therefore Bush is great for the country?
Also, knowledge of the American electoral system FAIL!
He’s probably referring to McCain as another Bush, and supporting Obama.
Double-post FAIL
“Brought to you by the coalition for Common Sense.
Re-elect bush in ‘08!!”
FAIL!
Oh yea, I would for sure love a president who once said that he had a dream where fishes and human being could live together.
Please, explain to me how that is common sense?
Why do you all argue about who’s failing at this site.
To make it all easier, lets just put it this way – EVERYONE, without exeptions, (yes, even me) fails since this is after all FAILblog
You can barely wipe your ass for $12,000 a year…still a FAIL
In Soviet Russia, we wipe our ass with 12k.
In Soviet Russia, your ass wipes you!
omega red comes from soviet russia.
In Soviet Russia, Soviet Russia comes from Omega Red.
in IMPERIAL Russia the king was half German and half English
If you got this joke, you’re a geek.
I got the joke… fail.
althogh to be politacly correct it should be $12 000 as in many countries , means a decimal place so we should now when writting big numbers use spaces every 3 digits as opposed to commars
Of course, Politaccally speaking, it’s not appropriate to use any commars. Yes, commas are mostly used as decimal points in foreign countries, but periods are also used in place of where we would typically use commas. Althogh, if we really wanted to, we could perhaps use our dicitionary to learn how to splell at least some of the words we use in our sentences.
(politically, commas, although, dictionary and spell)
Like my 24rd comment
seriously, wtf? you weren’t that high up the page with your comments earlier. do you change the time on you computer just so you get to the top? seriously, dude. get the fuck out more. stop playing world of warcraft and reading fail blogs.
What do you mean change the time? My PC is set to GMT -5 buddy.
it doesn’t matter what time his computer is set to, it matters when failblog recieves the comment.
Failblog Fail.
meaning, it’s time for post order is by the timezone of whatever server it’s in, but the time that shows up is according to whatever each person’s computer says.
referring to…
Hey, fucktard, shut your hole. You FAIL!
rofl
I think “24rd” isn’t getting enough love here. It is a fail, within a fail, written by a steaming pile of fail.
… all wrapped in an enigma of unfathomable fail.
…in a white wine sauce, with a fried egg on top, and fail.
…fail, fail, fail, fail….fail, fail, fail, fail….lovely fail, wonderful fail…….
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
24rd? or 24th?
third
ninth
underestimation fail
boo.
The true ninth!
Damn, it never refreshes so fast…
PepTutor gave helped you to ger a degree in FAILNESS
MFA: Master of Fail Arts
PHailness Degree
Master of F. Arts
let’s change the “gave” to “just”…
move along now.. nothing to see here
But don’t we also need to have gaved help to the ger?
are you a ventriloquist?
Are you perhaps a dummy seeking a partner who’ll insert their hand up your ass?
only at weekends.
you mean “only ‘on’ weekends”, right?
TWO THOUSAND angry gorillas fighting over a EMRALD!!!
no, he means he’ll meet you at Weekends.
who’s ‘he’?
all right then, ’she’.
Who’s ’she’?
Ah yes! Yes I do, I knew you’d get me somehow!
*grammatical paranoia sets in*
“During” weekends.
coyote said “dur”
I can’t tell if this is supposed to be a genuine comment fail, or an accidental comment fail.
so, in conclusion, it’s a missed the point fail.
“PepTutor gave helped you to ger a degree in Failness” !?
Looks like you have a MFA
FAIL
Hopefully his major wasn’t in matnematics…
N fail.
That’s why he needed tutoring in the first place, as you can see it was money well spent.
how did u do the invisible line at the top of the ‘h’ ? WOW…
this had better be sarcasm, or it’s even worse than the backwards b people.
Sarcasm detection fail.
… backwards b… I still cannot believe how stupid people truly are.
lack of comma after “Thanks” fail.
pedantic fail.
Win, more than fail..
seeing more than the obvious WIN
Indubitably.
He should have held out for $1,30,000. Or PepTutor should make sure their copywriters also have at least graduated from literacy classes.
I think it’s a translation fail. Some Asian countries express numbers over six digits in the form 1,00,000 (I think it’s called a Lakh or a Lahk or something – research fail I know). The salary should be $120,000 (one hundred & twenty thousand), but they express it as $1,20,000 (one point two lahk dollars). So it’s either a translation fail or an outsourcing-your-advertising-budget-to-Bangalore fail. Thank spe ptu tor.
Or, perhaps, it is simply a stoopidity fail.
Or a stupidity win?
The Japanese have a single kanji character for 10,000, and they often count large numbers using that for their units (sometimes translated as “myriads”). But even they often use roman numerals, and they do they punctuate them in sets of three like we do.
cAPS is right. Wikipedia’s entry for lakh includes:
____
In India, one lakh [= one hundred thousand] is written as 1,00,000. In most other parts of the world, the comma appears every three positions, so a lakh would usually be written as 100,000 outside India.
In India, the first comma appears after three places, but after every two places thereafter. Examples of the Indian comma system:
12,12,12,123
5,05,000
The same examples in the Western system:
121,212,123
505,000
____
And it appears some southeast Asian countries employ that Indian system.
Also, a day in the life of the Hindu god Brahma is considered approximately equivalent to the time it would take a cubic kilometer of granite to be worn down to nothing by the process of a bird dragging a silk scarf across its length once per century; it is otherwise calculated at 4.32 billion human years.
(This is FYI, only; it will be not be on your PepTutor exam.)
cAPS iS a wINNER!!!
I went poking around on the Peptutor website a moment ago, and I notice that all the instructors listed for its courses have Indian names.
So that’s got to be it — a service to teach online courses set up in India, targeting Western and English-speaking clientele … but unaware of, or just not following, the Western style for writing a number higher than 100,000.
In that context, it would be a graphic arts company selection fail
$120,000 per year?
That’s about, what, €150/y?
FAIL indeed.
uh, $120k is good money. i’d kill for that right now.
Ditto that.
they are not kidding, i would actually kill a man to make that salary.
US Economy Fail.
dollar FAIL
Democracy FAIL
Identifying our system of government Fail.
Capitalism fail.
Heat fail o.O
I agree, totally!
Well, maybe I would tickle a really ugly person’s feet for $120,000/yr
I would do far more depraved things than that.
I would kill Anomnomnom for it.
Lol, just kidding. OR AM I!?
I did, but don’t tell anybody.
thats what £60 000 considering the average wage in Britain (according to yahoo) is £32 000
research FAIL
Actually, depending on the location of this ad’s origin, it may be correct. In India, that’s how they write large numbers. Weird, but culturally correct.
why would he write his annual pay in $ then?
is that one point 20 grand a year? yikes. Should have stuck around and waited for that assistant part time weekend manager position at Chuck E. Cheese’s.
1,20,00 It looks like Math Fail, maybe he should have focused on math instead. Should it be 1, 200,00 or 120,000? Whatever
Its like hooked on phonics, but with numbers. Still a fail!
I aint sayin nuthin bout no missin postrophe. Specially since youre talkin phonically.
you can haz it if u want. It’s . .
typing fail for me yay!
Hey LOLCATTUS:
Was just wondering…was this supposed to be ‘Locutus’ or am I just having another stroke??
Flutter
Hi ‘doc. You may wish to flutter on up to the “More Lolz” links at the top of this page. They sell clues there.
(be warned, though, as some find resistance to lolcats to be futile; Lolcattus is pretty charming, too)
Awww thanks fuzz!!
Smooth-talker.
Ur doin it right.
But you can not haz my sign either fuzz *bats eyelashes
hmm … moar bats’ eyelashes … fuzz finks y’all must be Wiccanzes
Hmm….hold on….
*rummages*
Fillet of fenny snake…no. Um…eye of newt, toe of frog…noop, not that either. Tongue of dog…adder’s fork…owlet’s
wing…dammit, where’s my bats’ eyelashes…OH! Here we go!
Shoot. All I have is WOOL of bat. Well, so much for THAT potion.
But, I don’t weigh the same as a duck.
Hey, Lolcattus, if you find your postrophes, you want to loan some to failblog–I notice postrophes “wont” nest below this level.
Parently jus nawt-ducks will nest here … as is their wont, I spose.
They can haz sum, I hardly use dem any moar.
Naw, its Lolcattus Flutterdoc. They kicked me out of ichc because I failed my lolspeak exam, so naturally, i moved to fail blog. XD
Lolcattus of Borg sounds pretty cool though ..
Resistance is futile. You will has cheezburger.
cheezburger is irrelivent
There is no cheezburger
Mister Ander-burger…
Matrix win!
(But I heer Lolcattus haz a nuther zam comin up wif PetPutor. Mebbe den she can maek a $1,20,000 muney.)
No need to show me the money — you had me at, “I finished college last”.
Word.
at least he finished
hmmm i just went over the 12 moths of the year and semester isn’t in it anywhere … unless there’s a secret 13th month they didn’t tell me about
hmmmm…
u guys are all fail
commas following double digits than a final set of three digits is how things are done in Europe
And how do they spell “then” in Europe?
What part of Europe? It can’t be the part I live in.
Yes, except you’re not from europe. As no country here groups their digits that way. Al lot of countries use a dot instead of a comma, and a comma, resulting in €12.000,00.
i wish people would quit saying this. i know someone from europe and they don’t.
in the UK, we used to use commas:
2,000,000.00
but, central europe uses commas as a point:
2 000 000,00
so now in the UK, we use:
2 000 000.00
or at least we’re advised to, to save confusion
YOU’RE a fuckin’ fail
Get it right.
Does Europe use the $ sign as well?
To tell the php parser that a variable follows?
Yes.
most of europe uses € but some countries have different currecies for example Turkey and the UK use £
Wrong.
in europe we don’t use commas we use spaces every third digit from the back
His pay is in Zimbabwean dollars (1.2 trillion Z$ = 1 US$). Failure to specify currency.
Actually, the Zimbabwean dollar was redenominated yesterday, so its more like 7.68 Zimbabwean $ = 1 USD
but it’s still almost $2 to £1
UK WIN
True. And we eat american babies for breakfast, too.
They meant $200 a year
These aren’t failures, they’re just typos. failblog FAIL.
Typos are one thing, but when they are printed on ad pages, they become FAIL. It’s called proofreading your copy.
The person commenting below me is gay
There I was, caught in a lie…
Or do I have to be here to be considered ‘below?’
And f Im below you, your the fag fucking me on top. <3
Your fail. LOL, WHOSE THE IDIOT WHO DID THAT?
You Fail, it’s “WHO’S” not “WHOSE” – it’s short for “Who Is”, hence the apostrophe.
1. Find “Exit Fail”
2. Scroll down comments a little bit
3. Notice reference
4. Insert foot in mouth, or other orifice of your choosing
The person above is obviously some kind of douche.
And what am I?!
Neglecting fail.
Me too.
Know thyself, FTW!!
man who know hiself and his enemy is unbeatable
hiself is not a word. it is supposed to be himself.
grammar fail.
is that FTW supposed to be for the win of Fu*k the what???
90s teenage slag fail
ummm, isnt the typical semester 15 weeks long???
so in a 15 week period he made a annual amount? thats not right eaither!
Maybe you should enrol in one of those courses too…
Er… no. It’s not say that. It’s saying that he only just finished college last semester and NOW he’s earning that amount annually. Learn to read.
Joke’s on you, sucker… I never finished college, and I make so much more than you!
2,90,000 bitches!
Sweet.
Actually it’s a marketing WIN!
120,000 shining points of fail.
i think you mean 1,20,000 points.
Yea guys…I fucked up didn’t I.
No one’s commenting on the picture’s other fail? That guy fails at existing, with his mini-fro, and his tiny ears, and his too-far-apart eyes, and his tiny grin. You disgust me!
YOU
are EVERY type of fail I could possible list.
FC, I’m afraid you could possible be on that list.
FC, do you like movies about gladiators?
… BWAHAHAHA! Muffle, have you ever been to a Turkish prison?
Went to the website it advertises and it turns out it fails even more. I had Javascript turned off in my browser, and the site reads:
“Your internet browser doesn‘t support JavaScript! Please, enable JavaScript or use another browser for a correct work with our site.”
Double-fail.
meaning it’s not even an english site?
i mean, originally.
It might be 1.200.000!!!
In that case I should really get a tutor
If you actually *go* to peptutor.com, you’ll realize it’s run by Indians and 1,20,000 is (the more popular) notation of describing numbers in India.
It will be pronounced as One Lakh Twenty Thousand
120,000 is just another way of writing it — not the only one!
who else would know that?
cAPS lOCK fAIL knew it, and posted the info before Americans-lover here did.
(I failed to see this post by Americans-lover’s before I kicked into my own TMI spasm above.)
haha what a looser. im sure he has a short penis.
You’re the loser for saying “looser”. Looser than what? Your mum’s vag?
Liberal arts major WIN
(make sure my fries are piping hot, sir – thanks, PepTutor!)
In some countries, comma is seen as fullstops.
That’s where the fail is.
This seems more like sarcasm. You know it says, “Thanks Prep Tutor! Because of you I don’t make a real number salary!”
the coma is the fail. his pay is $120.00 A YEAR lol
ha $2.31 a week less than Ford’s Mexican slaves
hang on the lack of grammar in that sentance makes it say the wrong thing … it should be: Ha $2.31 a week. Less than Ford’s Mexican slaves!
I think they learned that in 2 grade (yes I know there isn’t a nd after 2 its there for a reason)…..
you just said there was an nd after the 2 but there isn’t. knowing what you typed fail
90% of these comments are total, epic, lifetime fail–spelling, math, nomenclature, satire, history, poli-sci and logic fail, phail, ghail.
You all went to publik skool and support Obama, don’t you?
You should see the AOL news site’s comments about Obama. It seems black people believe Obama is going to bring them to glory and stop Whitey’s evil regime. Funny stuff, there.
Please refer Mr. Williamson to the comment below referencing a lifetime fail analogous to his own.
Ugh! Reading through the comments on this one is a ‘life wasting fail’ for me. Congrats, dunces. You’ve all just killed the English language.
The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.
The account of papa bear’s wasting a failed life, however, may be an understatement.
Well replied Mr./ Mrs./ Miss Language. May I call you The?
Now, how is THAT for life wasting?!
What, remedial math isn’t a prerequisite anymore?
This is not a fail, because that is actually the proper format in some areas of the world.
In India that is how that write large numbers due to their system of lakhs and crores. It follows a pattern of 3,2,2 such as 1,00,00,000,00,00,000.
The reason it is in dollars instead of rupees is because many students aim at getting an American job after college, they pay much more than local jobs.
more like peptard, lol
hey im lost how is this fail
all these comments are a US knowledge of outside world fail . do you guys know how many ways a number is formatted throughout the world ? check the options for number formatting in excel. im waiting for one more american moron posting a picture of a london street saying “Traffic fail. look how everyone is driving on the wrong side of the road”
Lol, he cant even spell right, so how can we trust he graduated, hm?
I thought to myself, “One million twenty-thousand a year? Not bad.”
Then I had a “Wait, what?” moment?
That promptly became a “Oh, crap. I’m such a doofus sometimes,” moment.
Well, at least I’m failing on failblog.
have to wonder… which is it?
$120,000
$1,200.00 ($1200)
$1,020,000
$!20,000 (he’s really exited it’s in dollars, and not yen)
Wat
