  4. Nick\\ says:

    Psh what a fail failure

  5. Jim says:

    That was funny! And I bet it’s a free phone too.

    • PigPillow says:

      Well, I’ll bet against!
      A phone that good can’t be free.
      It can’t.
      DON’T YOU EVER TELL ME THAT PHONE IS FREE AGAIN!!!
      Puh. Seriously, it really isn’t free. It costs a lot.
      Very much. Like, a HUGE amount of money. More then you’ll get. Ever.
      Well, anyone else who wants to join the betting?

  6. thunder_foot says:

    the fone fails…. but wack… you fail even more…
    what do you want me to say?

    “Congratulions for commenting first…”?

    Such an achivment….

  7. blkshrk2nd says:

    lol! its the phail phone!

    • Tom Trifik says:

      Does it come in other colors?
      Will it come out in a wireless [stringless] version?

      • bonocat says:

        it comes in the 12oz, 9oz, and 6oz versions as well as in a wonderful array of party colors!!!

      • blkshrk2nd says:

        well, we’re still working on it. but there’s red, blue, green, yellow, black, white, silver, pink, rainbow, and brown colors. unfortunately, the black/silver/red/yellow one is only available in the UK at this time.

  8. phil says:

    thirteenth

  9. Gobby says:

    Sarcasm win.

    It’s someone blatantly taking the Michael out of the phone company’s fail.

    I would hug them for their wit.

  10. judas says:

    Breaking AT&T monopoly WIN!

  11. hihihihiLOLihihihihi says:

    no fail just a huuge win for the guy who put that.

  12. Pumpkiny says:

    What? No ethnocentrism-based jokes yet?
    What a shame.

  13. State Your Name says:

    If you zoom out a bit further, you see the two girls lining up for this one cup.

  14. Wahoo! says:

    Constructed => Not funny..

  15. CatMoran says:

    That’s one of them flimsy, newfangled phones, I’ll bet it falls apart in a week. The ones made of tin will last you forever. Harumph.

    • RogueThree says:

      When I was your age, I had to walk buck-naked through forty miles of snow uphill both ways to get to school.

      • dolt says:

        wow there must have been a lot of techtonic activity there.

        why didn’t you put some clothes on?

      • Dragonwriter says:

        “Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o’clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing ‘Hallelujah.’

        But you try and tell the young people today that… and they won’t believe ya’.”

  16. burnt toast says:

    I think – Awesome win! Not for the phone company, for the joker who hung that cup there. Very funny.

    • Gorgonzola says:

      Joker? Joker????

      Haven’t you been around my area these are entirely real, my friend.

      In fact, they are cheaper and more environmentally friendly.
      The only drawback of course is that only 2 people can have a conversation at any one time.

      • burnt toast says:

        ok, I stand corrected. Awesome win for the environmental engineer that installed the environmentally friendly communication device.
        BTW, arn’t phone SUPPOSED to allow a conversation between 2 people? Are you saying this device has no speaker-cup?

      • dolt says:

        no that’s not it it’s that everyonr on the same telephone system will be talking to each other at once and you won’t be able tto make calls to other electronic or even dissconnected string networks

      • nucking futs says:

        Why so serious?

    • Rdog says:

      Agreed.

    • thepowerofblue says:

      Yes, it’s all a part of the Joker’s diabolical plot to cripple the communications network of Gotham!

    • BigD145 says:

      It’s urban art.

  17. latsot says:

    This is a guerilla art installation, which has been documented all over the place.

    It might be an art FAIL, but not a phone FAIL.

  18. Ope N. Wyde says:

    This is weak… So easily staged… Fail Blog is better than this.

    • no way says:

      no it’s not!

    • itthy bitthy thpider says:

      It’s the fact that someone had the idea! Just because someone wasn’t really this stupid does not make it not funny.

      And really, if you check on how many pics someone has said failblog wasn’t living up to itself, you’d see that this is really all failblog is. It’s no better than this right here.

  19. james says:

    who the fuck is on the other side, Fonzie or a boy scout?

  20. Rdog says:

    I mean I agree that this might be a win because someone probably put that up there as a joke.

  21. yofo says:

    This is not a “fail”, it’s just someone being funny. The phone’s been removed and someone made a stringphone. Funny, not fail.

  22. FACE says:

    I have a mobile that looks EXACTLY like this, but it’s in black.

  23. Loz says:

    I’m guessing your ringtone is Ride of the Valkyries.

  24. will says:

    that is probably a the highest quality connection you’ll get from any phone company, its real-time and uses pure analog signal
    none of that digital crap in sight lol

    • phider says:

      Actually there’s more of a delay than on a normal phone, considering sound travels slower than electricity/radio waves.

  25. C.G. says:

    However installed this new phone, is a genius.

  26. phider says:

    SIXTY-EIGHTH!!! WIN!

  27. Jenni says:

    ive seen a phone box full of tin cans before, another version of this!

  28. sbd says:

    Operator, I’d like to place a collect call to Timmy, 10 feet away.

  29. Guy Over Yonder says:

    Lulz

  30. Ashley says:

    On the contrary, that pic is epic win… for being a hilarious smart-ass. <3

  31. LouZha says:

    “Can ya hear me now?”

  32. Guess Again says:

    Agreed…someone has a sense of humor whomever put this work in place…

    I’m just waiting for someone to say it was shopped…(in 3..2..1..)

  33. I'll bite says:

    It’s shopped

  34. Crossbow says:

    WIN, not fail.

  35. Katy says:

    I am actually REALLY mad about this being a fail
    this came from a street art site
    and it was meant to be art
    not a fail

  36. MikeW of VA says:

    Is this an upgrade from the “999″ Brit Phone?

  37. Terran says:

    Can you hear me now . . . ?

  38. gale says:

    haha! brings back :childhood: memories. I hear it actually works. :P

  39. TB Tabby says:

    They probably removed the old pay phone because they’re becoming more and more obsolete, but left the compartment, so somebody put the cup and string there as a practical joke.

    While I’m on the subject: did anyone ever get those homemade telephones to work?

  40. puka says:

    oh, it’s cute…..

    i remember when i was young, we enjoyed playing Phoning with each others…

  41. Christine says:

    “I’m sure there /has to be someone on the other end of the string”

  42. David says:

    i just wonder how someone can apply rule 34 to this

  43. nincanta says:

    darn budget cuts

  44. carth says:

    Awww…that’s so cute. ^___^

  45. sam says:

    simplicity WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  46. JonnoJ says:

    WIN!
