  2. Anon says:

  3. Anon says:

  4. Error says:

    Too easy to stage -_-

    Funny though!

  5. GoDHoRuS says:

    photoshop

  6. BdB says:

    Ye Olde Fotoshoppe

  7. happyegggirl says:

    funny!

  8. ur mom says:

    blurst!
    THIRST!
    bananairst
    strawbery

  9. lolart says:

    I dont see how this is a fail….
    Itz teh truff.
    Damn frappucinoz takin away our women….

  10. someone says:

    lol no wonder quite a few of these have closed down…!

  11. TheTruth says:

    the S is obviously photoshopped on there, I call photo-chop fail

    • happyegggirl says:

      i agree. its more like someone did it paint or something similar ‘cos it was done so bad. still funny though.

  12. Lambwithwings says:

    Their coffee does suck without a buncha sugar.
    I like the green tea :B

    • Kiari says:

      D:! their cream chocolate is extra delicious but extra expensive.
      now i know they need money to fix the lights U_U

    • bonocat says:

      I’m with you lambwithwings, tea is much better and everyone knows that starbucks coffee is not good anyways

  13. lolman says:

    creative BB gun useage win!

  14. Nwabby says:

    Grammar fail. Should read “sucking coffee”, or “coffee that sucks”.
    On the other hand; ARSES

  15. Not Me says:

    The blacked out letters spelled backwards says “BRAT”…. A good description of many of the customers there!

  16. Jay says:

    Photoshop fail. Look at the first S, pay attention to the green tone and to its brightness compared to the rest of the illuminated letters. I’d say poorly shopped.

  17. Ryan says:

    Starbucks FAIL
    Truth In Advertising WIN

  18. Fumanchu says:

    I cannot believe this made it on the fail blog.
    This isn’t even a GOOD photoshop job.
    Please tell me that no one was fooled by that “s”

  19. dolt says:

    it’s simple it’s telling you to suck your coffee, nothing wrong with that

  20. markislav says:

    thats so stupid.

  21. lame says:

    This should be labled Photoshop fail instead… horrible job.

  22. Captain Obvious says:

    I mean, c’mon, how many Starbucks signs have any of you seen with un-illuminated letters? I bet none, and I’m expected to believe that at the rare moment it >was< out, the letter combination ended up that way? They could have used Wal-Mart and it would have been a little more believable.

    • msfolly says:

      So what?

      It is still funny.

    • Monkey with a shotgun says:

      If have you an infinite number of Starbucks (which would be their business model), you’ll eventually write the complete works of Shakespeare. Or something like that. It could happen, whether or not this one’s shopped or staged.

    • aphrodite says:

      Have any of you read the above comments???? It was from a commercial…so OBVIOUSLY it’s ’shopped!!!!!!!

  23. Dawn says:

    Photoshop FAIL.

    I could’ve lit that “S” better with paint shop 2.0.

  24. snark says:

    the S is a total different color, and it looks like they just used paint to fill it in

    • Art Vandalay says:

      Agreed. I normally think the “Photoshopped” comments are over-used, but this one looks pretty suspect. Plus there are not brighter and dimmer spots in the “S” that result from the bulb configuration within the sign.

    • Ilikewaffles says:

      I unfortunately have to agree with you on that. As amazing as the sign going out like that would be, it’s fairly obvious that the first ‘S’ was edited in.

      There are 2 distinct colors to the letter, rather than the shades of a normal picture… not to mention the messy border.

    • lyn says:

      yeah, not the best photoshop I’ve ever seen.

    • palahniuk says:

      You’re right. Epic Paint FAIL!

    • RogueThree says:

      Gotcha here!
      Notice the side lamps. They’re causing glare on the S, making it seem like it’s glowing differently.

      • Spew says:

        uhhh no.

        Note the pixels. Quit hoping that Starbucks finally admitted that their swill tastes of decaying feet.

  25. ghost_cat says:

    photoshop fail. “S” is totally fake.

  26. Evil K says:

    auch…that sucks!

  27. InsertNameHere says:

    It was photoshopped..but still damn funny.

  28. lolman says:

    photoshop win? Or BB gun win? Hard to tell.

  29. david says:

    tarb fail.

    • fuzz on the concept says:

      ucks coffee remains … hmm, what would that be grounds for … there on the ground floor … and please see below for the floor above

  30. Mike T. says:

    Truth-in-advertising WIN.

  31. fuzz on the concept says:

    It appears the floor above was home to a Success Center.

  32. fail. says:

    photoshop fail. the first S is too bright and looks nothing like the other letters.
    it is funny, though.

  33. Joanna says:

    Actually took this photo myself – it’s a starbucks in Hermosa Beach, California and was taken a couple years ago. It’s not photoshopped (believe me, I still use paint). Must be the lighting that makes it look photoshopped.

  34. RogueThree says:

    We were all thinking it.

  35. Pescador_Gama says:

    The “failblog.com” watermark isnt used to avoid possible missunderstandings with starbuck? or is it just publicity fail?

  36. Some random guy says:

    Yep, that pretty much sums it up. Starbucks sucks.

  37. Chuckles says:

    The room above will probably be turned into another Starbucks.

  38. Sharl says:

    Truth-in-advertising WIN

  39. Tiamat Ruler says:

    This actually reminds me of some movie I watched when I was bored one night. I don’t remember what it was called but this guy wakes up in the future as the world’s most intelligent person. He’s not really that smart and he can’t go back to his time. Anyways, it turns out that all the Starbucks aren’t coffee shops anymore, they’re places where guys can have some fun. :P I wish I could remember the name of that movie!

  40. Tiamat Ruler says:

    Yeah…that. And that’s not nice. T_T

  41. 3.14159 says:

    BB gun WIN. ’shoulda shot out the COF as well. I can’t believe people pay for that swill.

  42. ForTheLolz says:

    If 982 people before you have already commented on the fact that the picture may be photoshopped, is it *really* necessary for you to also comment that it might be photoshopped? I think no.

    • Gasskan says:

      Photoslopped!

    • Joanna says:

      Thanks. I don’t really care if people believe me or not. I just wrote that above in order to clarify. I have no reason to lie about it! It’d still be funny even if it was a doctored photo. But, it’s definitely not. It was even more amazing in person.

  43. lolman says:

    Starbucks is bent on world domination, and things are going just as planned. Sort of.

  44. E says:

    Could have happened, but I’m sure this is photoshopped. I don’t even like Starbucks, but Photoshop fails are even lamer.

    • jamisings says:

      Considering that the PERSON WHO ACTUALLY TOOK THE PHOTO is here saying THAT THEY ONLY USE PAINT and that IT WAS ACTUALLY LIKE THAT WHEN THEY TOOK THE PHOTO then OBVIOUSLY it was NOT photoshopped.

      I REALLY wish I wasn’t forced to use caps because some people are too lazy to actually read the thread before making statements so moronic it makes Jessica Simpson look like a rocket scientist.

      • david says:

        i single-handedly stormed the beaches of normandy in ww2, forcing the germans out of france. the moon landing was faked, and i filmed it. kennedy shot himself from the grassy knoll.

        i said it, it must be true.

        • T rex vs pony says:

          i think somebody photoshopped your memory. I was the first person on the moon.

        • Jami JoAnne Russell says:

          Think about it, putzy-McPutzenstein. Why would anyone lie about such a thing? Will it make them famous? Will it bring them riches? No. It’s just a photograph of a StarYUCKS with it’s lights burned out. It’s real, not photoshopped, so stop being a whiney little baby and trying to crap all over the funny.

          • david says:

            i never said it was photoshopped. i was just pointing out your faulty assumption that people won’t blatantly lie on the internet for no reason.

            but your reaction reeks of conspiracy. fucking free masons.

            • jamisings says:

              Oh I know people lie on the internet, but they don’t like about things like this. They’re 300 pound men who lie about being female college co-eds so they can get easily duped male college co-eds to send them naked pictures to materbate to. Or pedophiles who like about being 13 year olds so they can get other 13 year olds to reveal details about their lives so they can then kidnap and rape said 13 year olds. But lying about something as pointless as this? It doesn’t gain them anything. Not even their 15 minutes of fame.

              • david says:

                you’re dense. people lie on the internet for NO REASON WHATSOEVER!

                they make shit up, just because they can. why can’t you get this?

                people photoshop fail pics, correct? it happens. why? for the riches? for the fame?

                no, they receive no riches, they get no 15 minutes of fame. they do it because they feel like it.

                THEY DO IT FOR THE LULZ FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!

  45. estoyaqui says:

    Yawn.

  46. cee cee says:

    Clearly this isn’t a fail. They just decided to change their name to the correct name that coincide with the way it taste.

    So a WIN for Starbucks oops I mean Suck Coffee for it’s recognition.

  47. T rex vs pony says:

    i think somebody photoshopped your memory: I was the first person on the moon. really…! *dreamy look*…happy times….*sigh*

  48. Owen says:

    Truth WIN

  49. Ris says:

    TARB? I don’t get it.

  50. PiMan says:

    Starbucks, home to one of the worst coffees in Australia. They’re shutting down almost every store here because everybody knows that other stores offer everything they have (including the culture) only better and cheaper.

    • TastyPrawn says:

      Shit, don’t depress me like that. I was hoping to visit Australia for four months on a worker’s visa and work as a Starbucks barista while there.

      There goes another one of my dreams.

  51. shirazee says:

    TARB? Ris, u FAIL. Woohooo.

  52. ghiangelo says:

    this doesn’t even come close to what happened about 4 years ago on a Starbucks on Commercial Drive in Vancouver.

    one morning while on my way to work some guerrilla artists painted out select letters on the Starbucks’ front awning and the ‘B’ was converted to an ‘F’ so it read -

    _ _ _ _ FUCK _ _ OFF _ _

    it was a really good job too!

  53. Dave says:

    Tim Horton strikes again. Muahahaha.

  54. Joanna says:

    Posters, this is a real picture.
    Yes, the S appears to be photoshopped, but the glare by the light next to it distorts the color.

  55. Juice says:

    I say no photoshop. Angle, lighting, or electric circuit issues (that may have led to bulbs blowing out on other letters) can account for the “S” and really, if you bother to photoshop this at all, you couldn’t just sample the color from the other letters and make the “S” look consistent with other letters?

    Soo… photoshop accusation FAIL. J’accuse!

  56. Me says:

    I completely agree with that sign on the store.

    DD forever!

  57. jdmasters says:

    Exactly – but unfortunately “sometimes” it is the only place to get a coffee so its a necessary evil.

  58. Rabin says:

    I can’t let you brew that, Starbucks.

  59. TastyPrawn says:

    I suck coffee every morning.

  60. SnapDragon says:

    This is the best!

  61. Erik says:

    Worst Photoshop ever!!! 2 Fails in one!

  62. Suzan says:

    The ‘S’ is photoshopped. <_<

  63. floofloo says:

    I get paid to alter images and I would get FIRED if I did such a crappy job in Photoshop.

  64. drum says:

    shit is dumb and PHOTOSHOPPED

  65. shane says:

    dumb. not photoshopped. this is my old starbucks. HERMOSA AND 13th!

    the dudes who own the space upstairs got drunk and did that.

    epic fail for disbelievers.
