The fail, is the name. KKK stands for Ku Klux Klan, a group of violent racists that would lynch, shoot and/or maim members of racial and religious minorities simply because of their difference
Omg, the worst fail ever. It’s just a silly finish enterprisename. Maybe stands for the 3 founders Kirkilli, Kumolainen and Kolwalinen (just random finish names). If you think this is disgusting. Get a life!
Kirkilli, Kuolainen and Kolwalinen are not Finnish names… we call this shop at three K supermarket, there’s K supermarket, KK supermarket and this. KKK supermarket is biggest and K market smallest. I have newer seen any white hooded people with burning cross there…. sry
Ummm… ever heard of the Ku Klux Klan, a clan (klan) of white men bent on ridding the US of all blacks after the sumpthinkth amendment which gave all blacks the same rights of white men after the civil war? (i olny kno this because i did a project on them) If you didn’t, either you’re under the age of 12.5 or you’re just stupid and ignorant.
Yes, the funniest buch of guys you could ever meet! Do they know how to throw a bonfire or what? I get to laughing so hard tears well up just thinking about these weisenheimers! Cliff? You out there? Frank? You feelin’ me? You guys are the BOMB!! You too, Hank!
Well, that’s one way to put it, but I’m afraid it’s wrong. They doesn’t kill “people who aren’t white”, but specifically kill people with dark skin color, or more correct, Afro-Americans.
I see how you try to be careful to not point any fingers by saying “black people” or something even more direct, but at least be sure to get your information straight. People won’t think any less of you for dividing them for what they are, they are what they are, and hopefully proud of it. Just say what comes naturally, and if you so happen to insult someone, an apology is at its place, as so long those offended show some understanding for your misstatement.
Sheesh, never thought I’d ever write something like this to someone over the web while trying to bring a message to it, all for no use… Ohh, well, what’s done is done.
Sorry to disagree, but the KKK really dislikes Jews as well and I don’t think they care for Catholics either. Not sure how they feel about Asians but I’m willing to bet you can throw them into the dislike pile as well.
Mainly finnish companies known worldwide are industrial, including machinery, paper and metal industry. Some of them largest and finest in the world, few to be mentioned: Kone, konecranes, Outokumpu, Metso Corporation, Stora Enso, UPM…
And of course some of you freaks hav eheard about Linux, for example…
@ Jim : K’s in baseball stand for strikeouts. Backwards K’s stand for strikeouts that the batter went down looking. Don’t speak of what you do no know.
Damn! I knew that I should avoid baseball comments since my knowledge of baseball is minimal. I know the Cubs suck and play at Wrigley Field. That’s about it. But now I actually know what the K stands for. Thanks!
We used to have a small crafts store here in Connecticut called “Kozy Krafts Korner”… I always meant to go in and see what they had, maybe like crochet your own klan uniforms or racist cross stitching
Funny for many travellers visiting Finland, because these stores exist in almost every city. It’s a chain called Kesko, and the number of K’s stand for the size of the store, K being smallest and KKKK being largest.
The KKK=Ku Klux Klan is not an obvious association for Finns, and therefore not insulting or strange for us. Fail from American perspective no doubt, but few of them are going to visit these stores anyway. From Kesko’s perspective this unintentional humour is far from fail, since it attracts a lot of attention to the shops without being too much of a negative thing.
um good thing this isn’t a Finnish website then? it is a given that many of the fails are cultural or geographically specific. it’s not like north americans think the KKK is opening Finnish grocery stores. okay well maybe 2/3 of it doesn’t think that.
could their be some sort of electrical shock given to people who keep posting the same things under each other without reading the 19 posts saying the same thing? SCROLLING IS SERIOUS WORK and the cause of at least 3 index finger related deaths per year.
“um good thing this isn’t a Finnish website then? it is a given that many of the fails are cultural or geographically specific.”
Yes, but since these stores don’t actually exist in the states or other places where the letters KKK have such negative meaning, this hardly is a fail at all then, is it? If someone would try opening a KKK-store in the states, it would be completely ridiculous of course.
yes but it’s a website, so the fails are going to be subjective.
if a UK website was making fails of north american cultural references, like the use of the word pants or fanny, there wouldn’t be a point to complain they aren’t fails because they mean such and such here.
Do you realize that the top items off the voting page end up here? they aren’t really repeated just moved. You weren’t able to say stupid things back then
Yes, the lack of witty, humorous comments did diminish the overall value of FAIL Blog. Unfortunately, just allowing people to comment doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get witty, humorous comments, as you’ve just proven.
this would be a fail only in USA beacause that’s where the KKK culture resides. It is not a worldwide phenomenon. Unless this was shot in the USA, it’s not a fail.
since you appear to have not noticed, it says it was submitted by someone from Finland. so they must think somehting about it was worth posting. It is still a fail. a good portion of these fails are due to bad translations, and cultural mistakes.
Yep, welcome to Finland boys and girls… my american husband was shocked to see this when he first came to visit… He’s not a typical finnish-looking guy either, olive skin, dark eyes and black hair… and I took him to KKK-market… *blush* Does that make me a bad wife? Ah but it’s true, anything other than Conan O’Brien type of white guy is pretty rare over here…
catering by mcdonalds, shotguns at your disposal, guests stay in bedding and th couple honeymoon in seasonal.
if natalie portman can have a baby in walmart, why not a wedding?
Im from Philippines and KKK was the local rebel group here during the Spanish colonization back in 1890 or something. Anyway it failed to overthrow the Spaniards because the Americans invaded the country, just before WWII (when the Japanese invaded and pwnd everybody).
Never thought tha spanish may have been there for a while? Maybe you should learn better your own history, in other books than brainwashing (because incomplete) history books in school. Dont you know usa invaded many countries?
…Maaan… Going into that store was like walking in at a bunch of AA’s… Well, anyways, I was going to buy a white robe, but you wouldn’t you believe what met me. They were all sold out! Just like that, I’ve never seen white robes been sold out before.
Still, I went on with my shopping, I looked further down at my note my wife had brought me and I needed a few matches, what is a fireplace without fire, huh? Heh, strangely enough, it was sold out too, along with the torches. Even weirder was that with so much flammable stuff going around, not one fire extinguisher was bought… Not even one… I thought I then could go to the toys department, so I could buy my little chocolate daughter a toy.
As I went to find the toys, I walked past where they sold ropes, nails and even crosses for some reason. Most of it was, as you may guess, sold out. When I finally got to the toys, it was the spookiest thing I have ever seen. They sold sadistic toys, miniature torture packs, all labeled by a company called “Ignite That Homie”. Inside every package I saw a black doll, so I figured they were sold out of the white dolls.
I was more interested in finding some normal toys to my little chocolate girl, as I like to call here, so I decided to ask an employee. The second I turned, I see a whole crowd standing behind me. Must be the employees I thought to myself, but I must admit, their dress code was freaky as hell. I then asked if they had any normal toys for children. The man at the front, which I guess was the store manager or something, yelled white power and the others in the background, which my guess is was the stock boys, yelled with him.
They all carried rope, crosses, matches, torches, nails and hammers so I suppose they were filling up the shelves, why they wore those white robes and hoods is beyond my understanding, but as I said, it probably only was their freaky dress code.
I answered them that I didn’t want any white powder, their accent was hard to understand, but I think I got that one right. I continued by asking them for some normal toys, but again they yelled white power.
Daaamn foreign workers. After a while I grew tired and decided to get out of there, there obvious were some communication difficulties standing in our way. I tried to grab with me some chicken and watermelon at my way out, but now these people stood around me in a circle so it was impossible to get anywhere. These people could impossibly get many customers as it seems they’re trying to hold back whoever enters the store.
I decided I couldn’t stay there forever, it would be dinner at home soon, and even though these people tried hard to act nicely, it didn’t work for me. I ran and jumped over some shelves and then went for the exit, never stopped running. I could hear them coming after me, but I suppose it is in my genes to run fast, they didn’t even have a chance to fetch me, it could barely be called a chase. I got out to where I had parked my car, but bad luck seems to follow me around, because all four tires had gone flat!
While thinking of a way of getting home, all the employees came rushing out, and I was all like…
I’m an American living in Finland. I’ve brought back grocery bags from these stores (each store typically has a unique name and their own bag graphics despite being part of a chain) for my redneck brother, who was greatly amused by them. Maybe I should start selling them on eBay.
It took a while until I realized the fail..
I’m from Finland and I didn’t see anything wrong in this picture.. Until I read the commets:D Yeah, I’ve heard about this Ku Klux Klan, but didn’t think of that at first..
here’s the website http://www.k-supermarket.fi/ anyway, i took a long time for to to realize this pictures aswell, but anyhow no one in here thinks it has anything to do with klu klax klan because there isnt one in finland. you americas who are the smarters people in the whole world are the ones with that racist society. and yeah, what does finland have to offer. renny harlin, the dicertor of cliffhanger and long kiss goodnight
ugh. the entire world is a racist society; not entirely in a way where no matter which race we’re from we love to associate “kkk” with the most racially offensive thing we can think of, but everyone is racist. Racism isn’t a bad thing unless you’re discriminating against a set race, nationality skin color….
that is what annoys me about the way the word racist is thrown about today, you just happened to hit a nerve there ilkkiz don’t take it personally.
Fried chicken and watermelon is a delicious thing. Like Dave Chappelle says, if you don’t like fried chicken and watermelon, there’s something wrong with you!
Old news boys and girls. We’ve been laughing for the name of the grocery store for ages here in Finland. But ok, the name has made no controversies over here. You can actually buy Jussi Pussi’s (A type of bread called “Jussi bag”) from here, and also Mega Pussi’s (Xtra large bag of potato chips). We also sell pudding called Fanny pudding.
Took me a LOOOONG time to get this but after reading the comments I get it. And for those of you who think this is photoshopped, it’s not I live in Finland and BELIVE IT OR NOT we actually have there supermarkets here YEEES FOR REEAAAL! lmao
KKK means originally: 3 K (kolme kaa). There are 2 K, KK, and 1 K supermarkets. K stands for kauppi, and that means something like shop. The number of Ks refers to the size of the supermarket, like in Switzerland Migros with either one, two or three M. In both cases, the one with 3 letters is biggest in size. – That you can misunderstand 3K as being owned by the Ku Klux Klan is really a ROTFL thing, never thought of that before! ))
KKK, 3xK means “Kolme koota”, three K’s Supermarket “Kolmen Koon Supermarket”. The word for shop that you are looking is “Kauppa”, pretty close anyways
I’m so mad at Nazis that they ruined the true meaning of swastika
Actually I’m mad at the western “civilization” for STILL ruining it… can’t use it anywhere without being labeled as a Nazi :/
The WW2 is over, Hitler and his minions dead… let’s be happy ^_^
It is only a question of the context. Should I have to sneer Kate Bush because of George W Bush? Or should Miroslav Satan (Slovak NHL player) change his family name because he plays in North America?
im from finland and thats normal market in here. you fat americans are thinking they must be racist but i bet even half of you couldnt show finland from map. you fat asses juts go to mcdonalds and dont worry about others. screw your own life but let us live how we like, thin. americans are fats, stupid and all of you are so mad about this message. everyboby is saying well you hillbillies in finland just go to swap and shovel some sht aroud. propably all of you weight more than 100 kilos but you dont even know how much that is in pounds. AMERICANS ARE RETARDET . now everyboby say that i cant speak even englis cos there’s few mistakes and that word doest fit in there becouse im fat american eating burritos
Oh, good lord….that’s racism at its finest. The businessman who created this place apparently either did not consult an American history textbook before opening or just didn’t know what the damn thing was.
The Plan
step 1. make kkk markets
step 2. make the markets unnecessary
step 3. stop dreaming about those good old White days
step 4. enjoy your white days
We have S-Market also in Finland, what would happen in U.S.A. or all over the world if it’s called SS-Market. Everyone think that we nazis because we have market for nazis ss-group? You never know.
Ps. Couple ppl make a good point about this pic not been a failure because these stores are only located in Finland. Agree.
Bet they have one Hell of a White Sale.
Dammit, I was gonna say that!
50% off ropes and sheets this week only!
+ crosses and matches
COTTON sheets.
Genius
*snotlaugh* You win.
you sir, win the internet
wait white sale? but it’s after labor day!! o.O
Where the fried chicken and watermelon are never on sale.
Dave Chappelle reference win?
fried chicken and watermelon stereotype was around long before Chappelle
Uhh, general stereotypes typically don’t get credited to individuals.
Fried chicken is a stereotypically ‘black’ food, and watermelon used associated with blacks because they came from africa
Your point being…?
the reason why it’s not a dave chappel reference
really? i’d hate being allergic to watermelon
proving why so many people dont believe in god. id lose faith to if i couldnt eat watermelon
what is fail here??
You are, for being either a white supremacist or a retard. Or both, I suppose.
That’s right. I’m back from my vacation at my girl’s house, and you all got it coming now. You fuggers.
*cowers*
Oh wait, I’m not a white supremacist or a retard.
Get ‘em, Noms!
*moves so she is not blocking Sara’s way to the bathroom*
*stands a little closer to the bathroom door, just in case*
Get a life!
Well at least someone will have got it coming…
GET A JOB, SPARKING WIGGLES!
The fail, is the name. KKK stands for Ku Klux Klan, a group of violent racists that would lynch, shoot and/or maim members of racial and religious minorities simply because of their difference
…including people who pretend to have sex with God.
ROFLMAO!!!
Religion win…
Omg, the worst fail ever. It’s just a silly finish enterprisename. Maybe stands for the 3 founders Kirkilli, Kumolainen and Kolwalinen (just random finish names). If you think this is disgusting. Get a life!
Well actually the K stands for Kesko and more the K’s in the name the bigger is the shop. Goes from 1-5.
btw those aren’t Finnish names. i had to create an account just to point out your idiocy.
Kirkilli, Kuolainen and Kolwalinen are not Finnish names… we call this shop at three K supermarket, there’s K supermarket, KK supermarket and this. KKK supermarket is biggest and K market smallest. I have newer seen any white hooded people with burning cross there…. sry
Btw we have S market too
typerät……
Ummm… ever heard of the Ku Klux Klan, a clan (klan) of white men bent on ridding the US of all blacks after the sumpthinkth amendment which gave all blacks the same rights of white men after the civil war? (i olny kno this because i did a project on them) If you didn’t, either you’re under the age of 12.5 or you’re just stupid and ignorant.
Ku Klux Klan maybe?
I don’t get it. What’s so funny about this?
KKK – Ku Klux Klan
Yes, the funniest buch of guys you could ever meet! Do they know how to throw a bonfire or what? I get to laughing so hard tears well up just thinking about these weisenheimers! Cliff? You out there? Frank? You feelin’ me? You guys are the BOMB!! You too, Hank!
The Southern States’ favourite supermarket since 1865!
thats finish
The NORTHERN States’ fav market!
FAKE!
and to complete the list of useless comments in EVERY failblog comment list…: FIRST!
… my arse…
In Soviet Russia list of useless comments completes you.
Sorry it was an incomplete list
It’s photoshopped. The lighting is all wrong.
it is not fake or photoshopped. it is a supermarket chain in suomi. the
number of ks indicates the size of the market reaching from k until kkkk.
You’re right. I can tell from the pixels and by seeing quite a few shops in my life.
Definitely NOT photoshopped. I’ve been to it.
Pics or it didn’t happen.
Not photoshopped. Check these:

She can’t. She’s travle-ing.
it’s a joke. word for word.
It no fake. I live in Finland, and visited in KKK-supermarket.
Um, no. Not a fake. It’s a part of a Finnish chain of grocery stores and supermarkets called Kesko. Google it.
its not a fake. its one of finlands bigest grosery store chain. Its real ive been there. There is actualy one few blocks away from my house.
It’s not fake, it’s in Finland.
Has anyone else noticed that the Fins seem a little slow on the uptake?
that’s only the ventral fins
seeing as kkk isn’t associated with racism in finland, um, NO AND YOU FAIL
Not fake. I’ve been there. It’s a franchise of stores all over Finland.
sorry but no
Umm… I don’t get this?
D I live in Finland and that’s, well, quite popular supermarket…
in the U.S., there’s a racist group called the Ku Kluk Klan, or KKK for short
they kill people who aren’t white
Well, that’s one way to put it, but I’m afraid it’s wrong. They doesn’t kill “people who aren’t white”, but specifically kill people with dark skin color, or more correct, Afro-Americans.
I see how you try to be careful to not point any fingers by saying “black people” or something even more direct, but at least be sure to get your information straight.

Sorry to disagree, but the KKK really dislikes Jews as well and I don’t think they care for Catholics either. Not sure how they feel about Asians but I’m willing to bet you can throw them into the dislike pile as well.
They don’t like anybody that’s not white proestant
actually anybody who isnt a WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) thats the official term for it
what is fail here????

What’s the FAIL in this?
Looks quite normal Finnish K-supermarket to me. It’s not supposed to be gigantic and cheap.
And don’t forget Finland girls.
(Finland is definitely not in the Valley; it’s the capital of Norway. )
LOL. be careful, some might believe you.
yeah, earth girls are easy
0.o
I’ve only ever heard of Nokia.
Well there has to be someone who hasn’t heard of the rest.
so youve never heard of him O.O
Without Finland, fishies couldn’t swim and the Olympics would go on forever because noone could Finnish.
Mainly finnish companies known worldwide are industrial, including machinery, paper and metal industry. Some of them largest and finest in the world, few to be mentioned: Kone, konecranes, Outokumpu, Metso Corporation, Stora Enso, UPM…
And of course some of you freaks hav eheard about Linux, for example…
Finland is home of the santaclaus !
It’ll be a bigger fail (and possibly bigger lulz) when someone tries to sue for emotional damage.
Like that time that crazy guy on a bike swerved in front of me on the interstate.
WIN
I don’t get it…I’m sorry I’m Belgian, what’s funny on this pic?
It says supermarket, when obviously it’s a regularmarket.
How could you not see that?
Each K stands for a “no-hitter” in baseball. That’s what makes it funny.
i heard about ghost ship and ghost train, even ghost truck but ghost supermarket?
Sorry Jim, you struck out.
@ Jim : K’s in baseball stand for strikeouts. Backwards K’s stand for strikeouts that the batter went down looking. Don’t speak of what you do no know.
Don’t speak of what you do not know, either. Sigh.
… but a no-no DOES refer to a no-hitter.
*bunts*
2nd base to first your out
hunter still looking for a score
….and failing. :p
Damn! I knew that I should avoid baseball comments since my knowledge of baseball is minimal. I know the Cubs suck and play at Wrigley Field. That’s about it. But now I actually know what the K stands for. Thanks!
k stands for strikeout but thats not what funny here
In Finland there are 4 different size markets in that chain.
That is the 3rd biggest version. It’s just called K-supermarket. Names are different in different countries.
Supermarket in USA might be huge, but the pic is from northern Europe.
Yeah. If you Americans seem to find this funny, then you can just dial 999 next time!!!
lol nice dude america does do that kind of stuff lol ha ha
KKK is the abbreviation for Ku Klux Klan…
No way!!!!
Ya don’t say!
Are you sure?
It’s secure!
i think it’s insecure
i had no idea
OH GOSH
you don’t have to apologize for being Belgian.
ORLY? I’m Belgian as well and I apologize for it every single day.
It’s different when it’s you porka.
i don’t know why but this made me laughhh tyty.
Yeah, I know. I’m sorry.
Now spank me!
Can I destroy you instead?
*hides Rogues game controller*
DAMMIT ROGUE!! Gimme back my apostrophe!
i”ll lend you one
Don’t apologize, I love having my pommes frites cooked in horse fat. Pass the mayo please.
Read about ku klux klan (KKK) on wikipedia or whatever.
KKK supermarket.
they sell chatspeak dictionaries?
We used to have a small crafts store here in Connecticut called “Kozy Krafts Korner”… I always meant to go in and see what they had, maybe like crochet your own klan uniforms or racist cross stitching
I always shop at KKK’s, their robes are the best!
I’m a big fan of their hoodies.
by now you must know that thats not what it really means
on sale today:
new, improved, ecological burning cross kit.
wood, nails, hammer, can of unleaded fuel
It should be a can of ethanol to be ecological.
Actually, it’s leaded fuel.
So much cheaper to buy your white hoods there than at Sam’s Club…
I bought this awesome shield there. Does anyone know what this weird emblem on the front is?
Funny for many travellers visiting Finland, because these stores exist in almost every city. It’s a chain called Kesko, and the number of K’s stand for the size of the store, K being smallest and KKKK being largest.

we finns are rly rly serious ppl
I don’t see the use of pants or fanny as fail either. Just funny.
Reminds me of S&M travel back in Houston… the only mile-high club with leather!
Posting new fails – FAIL!
Do you realize that the top items off the voting page end up here? they aren’t really repeated just moved. You weren’t able to say stupid things back then
Must’ve sucked back then, huh?
Yes, the lack of witty, humorous comments did diminish the overall value of FAIL Blog. Unfortunately, just allowing people to comment doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get witty, humorous comments, as you’ve just proven.
Yes…. please continue.
i would, but i’m afraid i’ll get attacked
they have a good points program.
this would be a fail only in USA beacause that’s where the KKK culture resides. It is not a worldwide phenomenon. Unless this was shot in the USA, it’s not a fail.
I’m sorry. I must have missed the rules on what makes something a fail or not. This is a site that posts funny pictures. Its humor. Why so serious?
since you appear to have not noticed, it says it was submitted by someone from Finland. so they must think somehting about it was worth posting. It is still a fail. a good portion of these fails are due to bad translations, and cultural mistakes.
Way to break out the fail rule book. Where can I get a copy?
This would mean that failboat fails only at the waters where it sinks?
I guess if we see it fail, it’s fail.
does the failboat sink even when no one is watching?
Ceiling cat is always watching…
K was there. K was there. K was there.

Anti semitic scum! lol
if you’re jewish buy their sheets.

noted, thanks.
Yep, welcome to Finland boys and girls… my american husband was shocked to see this when he first came to visit… He’s not a typical finnish-looking guy either, olive skin, dark eyes and black hair… and I took him to KKK-market… *blush* Does that make me a bad wife?
Ah but it’s true, anything other than Conan O’Brien type of white guy is pretty rare over here…
bad no, hilarious yes! now if you had had your wedding there, that might have been a little evil…
no, still totally hilarious.
About as hilarious as wedding in Wal-Mart…

In this market I could buy meat to cook in the BBQ desing fail.
Uh…. what was that?
Translation: “I can buy non-kosher meat for my nazi barbeque here, hooray!!!”
Do you have your Preferred Supremacist card with you?
Im from Philippines and KKK was the local rebel group here during the Spanish colonization back in 1890 or something. Anyway it failed to overthrow the Spaniards because the Americans invaded the country, just before WWII (when the Japanese invaded and pwnd everybody).
i look forward to the day when history books include the word pwnd.
I look forward to the day when Philipino kids learn their own history a bit better. (Unless “just before WWII” means 1900.)
Never thought tha spanish may have been there for a while? Maybe you should learn better your own history, in other books than brainwashing (because incomplete) history books in school. Dont you know usa invaded many countries?
Obvious tourist reflection fail? ha ha
Black market fail?
…Maaan… Going into that store was like walking in at a bunch of AA’s… Well, anyways, I was going to buy a white robe, but you wouldn’t you believe what met me. They were all sold out! Just like that, I’ve never seen white robes been sold out before.

Daaamn foreign workers. After a while I grew tired and decided to get out of there, there obvious were some communication difficulties standing in our way. I tried to grab with me some chicken and watermelon at my way out, but now these people stood around me in a circle so it was impossible to get anywhere. These people could impossibly get many customers as it seems they’re trying to hold back whoever enters the store.
I decided I couldn’t stay there forever, it would be dinner at home soon, and even though these people tried hard to act nicely, it didn’t work for me. I ran and jumped over some shelves and then went for the exit, never stopped running. I could hear them coming after me, but I suppose it is in my genes to run fast, they didn’t even have a chance to fetch me, it could barely be called a chase. I got out to where I had parked my car, but bad luck seems to follow me around, because all four tires had gone flat!
While thinking of a way of getting home, all the employees came rushing out, and I was all like…
…Damn obsessive customer service…
…and then?
wow, you spelled ni wrong
okay, so let’s get back to reality…
how did you even get that past the filters?
I’m an American living in Finland. I’ve brought back grocery bags from these stores (each store typically has a unique name and their own bag graphics despite being part of a chain) for my redneck brother, who was greatly amused by them. Maybe I should start selling them on eBay.
Why the f**k do the Finnish need to be told how big the supermarket that they are about to enter is?! LOOK UP!
Makes advertising hellowalot easier. Also, the only fail I can see here is the poster of the picture who thought this would be funny.
Up?
It’s like ‘down’ but in the opposite direction.
It took a while until I realized the fail..
I’m from Finland and I didn’t see anything wrong in this picture.. Until I read the commets:D Yeah, I’ve heard about this Ku Klux Klan, but didn’t think of that at first..
when I saw one of those in downtown Oulu when on foreign exchange I about fell over laughing.
Now selling halloween costumes! Get 25% off on toddler-size white robes! Comes with real bombs and crosses!
someone needs to support and supply those guys!
here’s the website http://www.k-supermarket.fi/ anyway, i took a long time for to to realize this pictures aswell, but anyhow no one in here thinks it has anything to do with klu klax klan because there isnt one in finland. you americas who are the smarters people in the whole world are the ones with that racist society. and yeah, what does finland have to offer. renny harlin, the dicertor of cliffhanger and long kiss goodnight
ugh. the entire world is a racist society; not entirely in a way where no matter which race we’re from we love to associate “kkk” with the most racially offensive thing we can think of, but everyone is racist. Racism isn’t a bad thing unless you’re discriminating against a set race, nationality skin color….
that is what annoys me about the way the word racist is thrown about today, you just happened to hit a nerve there ilkkiz don’t take it personally.
that and lovely fjords
I am white, southern and was raised poor. We LOVED fried chicken and watermelon. It isn’t a color thing. It is a POOR thing!
Or it’s the fact that stereotypes have no basis in reality.
Fried chicken and watermelon is a delicious thing. Like Dave Chappelle says, if you don’t like fried chicken and watermelon, there’s something wrong with you!
Old news boys and girls. We’ve been laughing for the name of the grocery store for ages here in Finland. But ok, the name has made no controversies over here. You can actually buy Jussi Pussi’s (A type of bread called “Jussi bag”) from here, and also Mega Pussi’s (Xtra large bag of potato chips). We also sell pudding called Fanny pudding.
Jesus christ! i’ve hardly ever laughed so hard. the picture isn’t funny but these comments are. sorry guys, some of us finns don’t get your humour.
i have seen these supermarkets for real…
been to finland a couple of times
maybe you don’t believe but they alsow have
KK Markets
and
KKKK Markets..
Took me a LOOOONG time to get this but after reading the comments I get it. And for those of you who think this is photoshopped, it’s not
I live in Finland and BELIVE IT OR NOT we actually have there supermarkets here YEEES FOR REEAAAL! lmao
Pillow cases 50% off!
I’ve actually worked in one KKK-supermarket as a cashier..
Im from Finland,I’ve never thought about it like that;D
Thats funny XD
Its a pretty common store,sells food / toys / shit
KKK means originally: 3 K (kolme kaa). There are 2 K, KK, and 1 K supermarkets. K stands for kauppi, and that means something like shop. The number of Ks refers to the size of the supermarket, like in Switzerland Migros with either one, two or three M. In both cases, the one with 3 letters is biggest in size. – That you can misunderstand 3K as being owned by the Ku Klux Klan is really a ROTFL thing, never thought of that before!
))
KKK, 3xK means “Kolme koota”, three K’s Supermarket “Kolmen Koon Supermarket”. The word for shop that you are looking is “Kauppa”, pretty close anyways
Let’s not stop here, a Nazi card this time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotta_Sv%C3%A4rd or maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Presidential_Standard_of_Finland.svg
and finally, after a good hard laugh you can actually learn something about different cultures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
I’m so mad at Nazis that they ruined the true meaning of swastika
Actually I’m mad at the western “civilization” for STILL ruining it… can’t use it anywhere without being labeled as a Nazi :/
The WW2 is over, Hitler and his minions dead… let’s be happy ^_^
Alabamas branch of K-Mart
Racist people need a place to shop too *nods*
I feel bad but…..I dont get it.
It is only a question of the context. Should I have to sneer Kate Bush because of George W Bush? Or should Miroslav Satan (Slovak NHL player) change his family name because he plays in North America?
im from finland and thats normal market in here. you fat americans are thinking they must be racist but i bet even half of you couldnt show finland from map. you fat asses juts go to mcdonalds and dont worry about others. screw your own life but let us live how we like, thin. americans are fats, stupid and all of you are so mad about this message. everyboby is saying well you hillbillies in finland just go to swap and shovel some sht aroud. propably all of you weight more than 100 kilos but you dont even know how much that is in pounds. AMERICANS ARE RETARDET . now everyboby say that i cant speak even englis cos there’s few mistakes and that word doest fit in there becouse im fat american eating burritos
Häpäiset kaikki Suomalaiset tuollaisella. Ole hiljaa.
HAHA! Ladies and gentleman! Fat card is in the game!
Finland would be much, much better place if we’d have permission to shoot people like you on sight
Right now I feel so bad for being Finnish. I have never even thought of associating the K-markets w Ku Klux Klan. lol this is horrible
dude. know what i just realized? theres a company that makes turbochargers called kkk turbos
VITTU! Joku muu ehti laittaa ton mua ennen…
stfu n00b
lol
Oh, good lord….that’s racism at its finest. The businessman who created this place apparently either did not consult an American history textbook before opening or just didn’t know what the damn thing was.
Why should a Finnish businessman doing business in Finland worry about a stupid American organization?
Took me good five minutes to connect K’s in K-Supermarket’s logo to Klu Klux Klan
The Plan
step 1. make kkk markets
step 2. make the markets unnecessary
step 3. stop dreaming about those good old White days
step 4. enjoy your white days
My god. The comments on this pic have been coming for almost a year now. We should celebrate the anniversary.
asd
You would laugh but there’s actually a cinema here in Germany called “KKK Filmtheater”. Just google for it…
I read all comments concerning about this picture, NICE!
We have S-Market also in Finland, what would happen in U.S.A. or all over the world if it’s called SS-Market. Everyone think that we nazis because we have market for nazis ss-group? You never know.
Ps. Couple ppl make a good point about this pic not been a failure because these stores are only located in Finland. Agree.
+are
I wonder what their sales are like during Black History Month?…
I wonder what would happen if a black guy walks into that store.

when I was in KKK supermarket thay asked me is I had an ass-card!? strange people….
The Ku Klux Klan is limited to America. Lucky us. As such, people in other nations don’t think of them when they see three K’s together.
Klu Klux Klan Market
There’s no black. Just white.
(I’m not racism. Just a joke.)
Its not fake, i live in finland and here that is big supermarket.
