  1. Eric says:

    She should be worried. She can’t write worth a damn. Russia should blow her up just for being an idiot.

  2. [dangeruss] says:

    FIRST

  3. D@vid says:

    Oh my god.She wants to see tanks in the state of Georgia!
    ROTFL

  4. Goodnplenty says:

    Yes, Jessica B, you should be very worried. We will be there very soon for the sterilization procedure. Please tell us your exact location.

  5. loz says:

    in Soviet Russia, she would have been killed at birth.

  6. Obama says:

    Looks like something Georgia W. Bush would say…

  7. David_ita says:

    It’s a fake.There’s no doubt

  8. Mirvy says:

    It looks like a LOL cat wrote this.

  9. mystrdat says:

    Do I hear an American citizen? Classic.

    • If you do hear an American citize, are they near you? Outside your window? Are they yelling? What do you hear? Do you hear the lambs, Clarice?

    • Chris says:

      Yes, everyone here is just like that. We are all the same! That’s why George Bush got 100% of the popular vote!!! All of your stereotypes are correct. Aren’t you glad you live in Superiorland where all people are smart?

      • mystrdat says:

        I am indeed glad for any chance to poke a dead guy with a stick, not that I care much about upholding a few stereotypes on the way.

  10. Alex-X-x says:

    american stupidity WIN!!!

  11. Not Tony says:

    I’m hoping she’s like 7 years old.

  12. adubintheaz says:

    I’m going to guess no one has heard of a troll.

  13. jdmasters says:

    That person is kidding right? I mean they are obviously trying to spark discussion and debate while they sit back and laugh.

    But then again – it’s brilliant because it’s just believable enough. We have seen that kind of post before. We have become accustomed to reading posts that highlight the fact that many of our fellow countrymen have no understanding of the world outside their own walls. I say joke fail – I hope it is anyway.

  14. Knob-Cheese says:

    Her mastery of the English language certainly is lacking. And it is entirely possible to hear such news in passing and missing out on the key geographic points. In such a case, a young person would be likely to make the same mistake.

    On a side note, I resent the use of my name as an insult earlier in these comments. I am a Knob-Cheese, and quite proud of it.

  15. SubPrime says:

    I simply can’t believe this post is real. No one could be that stupid, not even in Georgia. Or, if she is stupid enough to worry about Russians invading her trailer park, there’s no way she was smart enough to get connected to the interweb and write that post. She would have electrocuted herself in the process.

    • Malfeasant says:

      sadly, there are smarter people who are paid to ensure that those stupid people are able to use teh intertubes… and what a frustrating job it was

  16. I’m allowed to do this once…. this shouldn’t be here. Yahoo Answers is well known for people trolling it for the lulz, in fact, I asked something very similar. Mine was phrased something like “I live in Atlanta, Georgia whar r the Russian troops did they use stealth ships or something????!!?”

  17. Jon G says:

    Was this the same lady worried about the chemicals in her water that were causing rainbows?

  18. Mike Justesen says:

    Lame, i submitted that picture, long time ago, and they never answered or anything, and now the picture is on the site, but not mine.,

  19. mek says:

    I think it’s just a fake question. I would however be worried for the person who thinks Georgian is on the other side of the World…

  20. Kurt says:

    It’s worth noting that a person from Georgia would call their country Sakartvelo. “Georgia” is a Western name.

  21. State Your Name says:

    That particular line comes from the part where Guybrush tries to duel Captain Rottingham before he learns that seaborne Insult Swordfights are supposed to rhyme, mrdobalina. IIRC, anyway.
    And while I’m at it,
    fish-breath

    • mrdobalina says:

      you are referring to monkey island 3???

      so you missed out on monkey island 1, where the joke originally came from???

      Childhood FAIL.

      • State Your Name says:

        I played and finished all of them, even the 3d one. LeChuck’s Revenge is the one I keep coming back to, just for the sake of spitting at Wally while we both hang over a vat of acid. But yeah, I started with the 3rd one. So can we call this half-a-FAIL?

        • mrdobalina says:

          All is forgiven, because know one who completed all four games can be bad at anything.
          I just like the fact that all the Islands have a â„¢ .

      • mystrdat says:

        I have to humbly warn you about your nickname translation in my native language. It stands for having a sexual intercourse with… something called balina.

  22. State Your Name says:

    Dammit, double posting! There’s going to be waaay more where that came from, if things unfold the way I think they will…

    Seppuku via FAIL!

  23. Not Me says:

    Can I turn your knob and ferment your cheese?

  24. That was just…. awful.

  25. HavUTheenMaWeena says:

    So this is the type of person that wrestles with a chair in the kitchen, huh?

    • Avis says:

      I think it’s the type of person that uses an entire bottle of shampoo during one shower, because of the instructions on the back.

  26. thepowerofblue says:

    Public school FAIL

  27. amaphone says:

    Pa ha ha ha ha. Is it okay that I kind this sad?

  28. HavUTheenMaWeena says:

    Sorry to hear you were left behind.

  29. Nils says:

    If you ask me, this should be burn of the week. Too bad it’s not on the failblog “forum”…

  30. Mac says:

    ”We are living in America, America…”

  31. Wormfather says:

    We just got trolled. Failblog Fail

  32. amaphone says:

    oops I meant find!

  33. Supra-Prime says:

    I have to disagree. There are many people in this world, particularly in Georgia (state) that are certainly stupid enough to believe that.

    Any internet can use the internet. I managed it somehow.

  34. Juasman says:

    I also submitted this… but with “Redneck FAIL” written.

    Political correctness WIN. *g*

  35. CorrectionFluid says:

    Not sure if you are from another country than the U.S. but ‘not worth a damn’ is a fairly prolific phrase here.

    Example: You can’t post worth a damn.

    So there you are.

  36. Tiffany says:

    Someone on the yahoo page itself said something about her only being 8 years old. If thats correct, than I think every things explained and its not really a fail. However, I would imagine it was just some random person trying to defend someone else. On another note, how would you feel in ten years if you where that eight year old girl who asked a stupid question and ended up on fail blog? Sucks to be you.

  37. jack says:

    classic.

  38. Kta says:

    Actually, at camp one year I told my cabin that Georgia (where we’re from) is also the name of a country. They told me it definitely was NOT a country and I was making it up.

    They also thought there were 49 states…”or maybe 51″

  39. Not Me says:

    Oh, well, good luck with that quest. *heads off to Tinker’s Dam with fishing pole.*

  40. “Oh say can you seeeeeeeee. . . . . ” RATATATATATATAATATATATATATATAATATATATATATATATATAT! Epic “cleansing” scenes.

  41. AliA says:

    Hi dumbasses!

    FAILPOST FAIL! guess what? Georgia is a country. And its at war with russia.

    how about we all get a little more worldly and think outside of america.

    • loz says:

      LOL. fail to understand the fail.

    • DeathRay says:

      Everything you need is right here in US of Earth. Our Memphis is better than Egypt, our Georgia is bigger than Caucasus, our York is new.

      My thoughts are with all those Atlantians that are suffering from this tragedy.

      • Agreed, I’m flying over to Georgia tomorrow to go help their National Guard. Almost 80 percent of Georgia’s Natty Guard is posted in Iraq and Afghanistan. Someone’s got to go help our friends in Georgia since we really screwed the pooch on New Orleans and who else is gonna go fight. Hurray right to bear arms!

        • South of the Border says:

          You were pooch-screwing in New Orleans? Seems like there would have been better things to do…

    • Roberto says:

      sad that i finally found something about it being a coutry on the very LAST post… but hey, we live in america, land of the ignorant…

  42. PeppaMama says:

    Oh, what an embarrassment, even as a fake post! I’m on staff at UGA (go Dawgs) and not all of us exhibit this utter lack of, well, functioning brain tissue. Even the international people on campus know better than that fruitcake!

    The shame, the shame…fellow Georgians, straighten up!!

  43. NorthAveBoy says:

    I’ve lived in Georgia all my life and never met anyone THAT dubmb. Definitely someone who needs to visit the south and see what its really like.

    Except for UGA students, they ARE that dumb.

  44. A_SN says:

    The joke is on all of you for assuming she’s American. You *fail* at considering the fact that she may very well be from the country of Georgia, which would be consistent with her poor English (and poor spelling, Russia uses a phonetic writing so it would make sense that they wouldn’t know how to spell their own country’s name correctly) and the name Jessica is no rarity in Russian-speaking countries.

    You all FAIL

    • DeathRay says:

      Jessica is a Georg-ish name?

    • RogueThree says:

      Georgia is not called Georgia by Georgians. It’s called Sakartvelo. If this “Jessica” were from the country of Georgia, she would have referred to it as such.
      We don’t FAIL, you do.

  45. Cloral says:

    This reminds me of an article I saw a couple years ago in a news paper somewhere. They had a world map with lines connecting story blurbs to their locations on the map. One of the stories was “Bush supports Georgia’s democracy”, and of course the line pointed to the state of Georgia.

  46. Jenny Z says:

    What the hell, I submitted this a week ago….

  47. BratPAQ says:

    now i understand why they said internet is a dangerous place, with all these retards running around, able to use computers…

    computer, a powerful tool + retard idiot = disaster waiting to happen

  48. Misty says:

    Google News originally reported that Russia was invading Georgia in the USA: http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/09/213236 If the person who asked that question was a child, I think that should explain the kid’s confusion.

  49. Shame Faced says:

    Typical redneck idiot.

    • Responder says:

      Did you ever stop to think that this person might be an African American and not a “redneck” you stupid fool. You might be interested to know that Georgia’s full different races.

      • South of the Border says:

        That is so true. People of all races and nationalities are totally capable of being idiots. Thank you for giving us a prime example.

  50. jayhonk says:

    Obi-Wan: Who’s the more foolish: The fool, or the fool who follows him?

    Or in this case, the troll who acts the fool, or the fools who “just can’t believe someone is that dumb”…?

    • A_SN says:

      Hasn’t your mother ever taught you to beware of false dichotomies? She should have! The only fool here is the one who misleads himself into believe the person who asked the question is either stupid or a troll by assuming without a single fucking reason that the question had anything to do with the state of Georgia.

      I mean seriously, how fucking stupid can all you fuckers on the Web be to tell the person/comment that she doesn’t live in the country of Georgia but in the state of Georgia? How the fuck do you know she lives in the state of Georgia? You don’t fucking know that, you just assumed it out of nowhere. Fucking masses of retards who think they’re smarter than anyone else. You’re all the butt of the joke, and I’m one of the seemingly very very few to laugh for the good reasons.

      • Cimbafail says:

        its true then – the english vocabulary is being devoured by that virus,
        the f-word!! more and more synonyms are disappearing into thin air as you go
        on speaking… see them go ‘pop’ like soapbubbles… truly amazing

      • aaaaanon says:

        you’ve become the butt of yet another joke

  51. Scott says:

    This is awesome…..reminds me of Ms. South Carolina – “The Iraq” hahahaha

  52. MLD says:

    I’d call it fake only because they can’t even spell Georgia, the stat they supposedly live in… But it’s amusing nonetheless–sad, but amusing

    • Biff says:

      True, if they can’t even spell the name of the “stat”?!?!? (WTH?) they live in, it must be fake. Lol.

      I say if Russia wants Georgia let ‘em have it. Nothing but a bunch of Crackers down there anyway.

    • Malfeasant says:

      that’s some sound reasoning there… i grew up in massachusetts- i guess all my classmates who had trouble spelling the stat [sic] were figments of my imagination…

  53. Tim says:

    THREE HUNDREDTH!

    Couldn’t resist… love to mock people. :) I’ve cracked that joke before about Georgia, but I can’t believe someone would ask that question, fake or not.

  54. lolbukkit says:

    Come on you guys. Some US Americans don’t have maps.

    teehee

  55. Shadow says:

    Ah, damn it, I need to recharge my iRaq again…

  56. Ruck says:

    Now that is some funny shit.

  57. Z says:

    Anyone else think Jessica Simpson just changed her last initial to “B”?

  58. Shadow says:

    Nah, I think that’s YOUR name in real life.

    • 8 y.o. kid-at-heart says:

      lol, I think that girl (no more than 8 y.o.) needs a boyfriend and a good crotch rub, and a thorough french-kiss. Hah.

      See her spelling? She can’t be older than 8 with that. You see?

  59. Elvira says:

    Geofail, absolutely.

    With one out of five Americans unable to find USA on a map, and apparently another one out of five unable to spell the name of their state (my state’s name has 10 letters in it, and twice as many ways to spell it wrong), I guess the idea of Rusia invading Georegia is not that farfetched to a large percent of the population.

    Now, if we could just get Rusia to come in and prune the population of Georegia a little bit, we might improve the situation to, say, one out of six. We can be entirely sure that the right part of the population would be pruned, since they’d be the ones to use Yahoo Answers to confirm any news reports of the invasion.

  60. bovvered says:

    lol God bless America.

  61. Shadow says:

    Georgia*

    I’ll be sure to let you know when the “Rusians” invade “Georegia”.

  62. kate says:

    the spelling and grammar are poor, yes, but Georgia is a small region near Russia, that is currently being invaded my Russia, they are at war. it’s all over the new in the UK. The citizens of the US are just so uninformed about the rest of the world. so “FAIL” on us.

  63. vongore says:

    you kids are dumb
    the kid live in georgia in europe
    its all over european news
    that russia has invaded georgia
    and the town had fled to make shift shelters
    how about you all do some fucking research morons

  64. lulz says:

    “Never go full retard”

  65. Ashley says:

    Its fake, but god is it funny… and sad too because you know there is people that really are that stupid. xD

  66. Megan says:

    Bad Grammar makes me [sic]

  67. Uncle Toby says:

    she shouldnt be worried, but i sure am! these kind of people are all out there!

  68. Karen says:

    HAHAHAHAHA

  69. bail says:

    i’ve actually had someone reply to me in the same way on some comment i made about georgia, something like georgia is a state in our country and we should protect it or something like that, did’nt know weather they where joking or not :S i hope americans arnt this dumb -.-

  70. lol says:

    LOOOOL XDDDD

  71. Kristopher says:

    The Russians can have Atlanta, but if they go any further there will be trouble.

    • Don’t let the russians get Atlanta! Coke is from Atlanta!

      • Not You says:

        Coca-Cola was first made in a pharmacy (which coincidentally also served fountain drinks at the time) just to the northwest of Atlanta’s city limits in a podunk town named Douglasville. You moron. Why doesn’t anyone ever do any research before they post anything on the internet? The one area where anything can be researched? RESEARCH FAIL ANYONE?

    • lolbukkit says:

      Even the Russians wouldn’t want Atlanta.
