» 259 Failures in Communication

  1. thepowerofblue says:

    Mexico? That’s where my Irish Spring bath soap is made!

  2. gurren says:

    first! study japanese in egypt!

  3. Aluriaphin says:

    Oh, crap, never mind… XD

  4. A_C says:

    Except that I was beat out while typing. damn.
    I blame the Mexican pyramids.

  5. spikeswift says:

    dos! :)

  6. lieut. obvious says:

    You know what else they make in mehico? snowmobiles. (ski doo)

  7. illu says:

    I am not complaining. I am sure Egypt >>> Mexico.

  8. fuzz on the concept says:

    This must be a picture of those Mayan pyramids in that Mel Gibson “Apocalypto” movie, where they did human sacrifices on the day of the new moon solar eclipse on the night of the full moon.

  9. Whut? says:

    MY ROFLCOPTER GOES SOI SOI SOI SOI

  10. vicky says:

    i don’t get it. how is it a location fail??? spanish is spoken in mexico…

  11. edwin says:

    Spanish is the national language of Mexico so it’s a great place to learn.

    • mr s.a.u.s.a.g.e says:

      TACO TACO BURRITO BURRITO!!!!!!

    • SomeIrk says:

      No.. Mexican is the national language of Mexico. Spanish is the national language of Spain. Just like American is Spoken in America, and English is spoken in England.. Maybe same word but different dialect.

      • Dragonwriter says:

        *searches desperately for the irony…sarcasm…SOMETHING!!!*

      • TMI Service says:

        The term “national language” in standard usage refers to a country’s “official language,” and, while Mexico has it’s one pronunciations and such (along with scores of Amerinidian languages), its national language is of course Spanish.

      • coyote says:

        Now while the Shaw quote “England and America are two countries separated by a common language” is very true, they are still the same language. I strongly recommend that you either watch or read The Story of English. The word Dialect, in linguistics, means “…the form or variety of a spoken language peculiar to a region…” Perhaps English is not your main method of communication. That is why I am not cutting you off at the ankles.

      • Australias says:

        My favourite country in America is Venezuela! I suppose finding out what they speak there wouldn’t be too difficult but I’ll leave that for another day:)

      • Crash says:

        Wrong. Spanish is spoken in Mexico just like English is spoken in the US. American is just a dialect of English, and Mexican a Spanish dialect.
        This Fail actually makes no sense.

      • DSmith says:

        Mexican is not a language—–FAIL! You are probably the same type of person that thinks Jewish is a race. Fail McFailerson

  12. Mike says:

    Don’t you guys know geography? Those are the great pointy mountains of Chihuahua!

  13. Agnus says:

    Una clara imagen de las piramides de mexico :D

  14. random says:

    that no mexico? me gotz cheeted

  15. TheKingofSnacks says:

    It was the aliens.

  16. ErickB says:

    Wow! Mexico has a Sphinx too!

  17. faillord says:

    Disculpe, yo no hablo español… Un Momento! Estoy hablando español! Mucho gusto! Hola! No, gracias, soy alérgico a los crustáceos.

  18. calins says:

    So do i like get my money back,
    when i don’t get to see the pyramids.
    on my spanish learning trip to Mexico?
    Just wondering….

  19. ur mom says:

    in soviet russia, spanish studies you!

  20. jordanwb says:

    I don’t get it. What’s the fail?

  21. d30n says:

    man ive always wanted to go to egypxico and study spanarab

  22. coyote says:

    Thor Heyerdahl was right!

  23. MedKid says:

    Fail will not nest below this level.

  24. a person says:

    ummmm you do know that there are pyramids in mexico the mayans aztecs and incas built pyramids too its not just something egyptians did

    • fuzz on the concept says:

      ummm you do know that thats a picture of egypt its not just something they did in mexico if you drink bad water there you can get the runs on sentences

    • Allera says:

      The Aztec and the Inca built step pyramids, which do not look like the Great Pyramids of Giza. So did the Mesopotamian peoples and the Nubians, and several other ancient cultures. So yes, we know pyramids tend to pop up all over the world– but the ones in the picture are pretty iconographic pyramids, and aren’t in Mexico. Which is why it’s funny.

    • mci says:

      ummm, you do know that you’re an imbecile.

  25. Pips IX says:

    Lol, the editor probably said something like “Put a picture of the pyramids on it!” fully believing that the intern actually KNEW there are pyramids in Mexico.
    Unfortunately he didn’t.
    Resulting in this.
    ANTHROPOLOGY FAIL.

  26. Miss Lynx says:

    Pyramids in Mexico, yes. Sphinx, not so much.

  27. kate says:

    So I randomly stumbled upon this site today…and of course, the very first fail I see is none other than the study abroad department’s flier…for my school. Ha. Oh the irony!

  28. world traveller says:

    I’d rather study Mexican in Spain, with a view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

  29. Robert-Lee Dolphin says:

    How is this a fail? They don’t speak mexican in Mexico, they speak spanish.

  30. Christiano says:

    Robert-Lee, the problem isn’t that it says “study Spanish in Mexico”. The problem is that they used an image of the Egyptian pyramids on their ad. They should’ve used a photo of the Mayan pyramids in Mexico.

  31. Serj says:

    average american wouldnt know the difference

  32. El campino says:

    Did you not know Spanish is spoken in Mexico?

  33. luke says:

    Spanish is widely spoken in Mexico dipshit. Spaniards settled Mexico, and so the Spanish language began getting spoken in Mexico.

    • mci says:

      *** Spanish is widely spoken in Mexico dipshit. ***

      Gee, dipshit, I think we all knew that. The fail is IT’S A PICTURE OF EGYPT.

      What a ‘tard.

  34. Robintel says:

    Hi!

    I think this actually makes some sense. I went to Northern Ireland (UK) to learn English so…

    The idea behind this is to go to a new country and learn a new language.

  35. Gaz says:

    I thought they did speak Spanish in Mexico

  36. lala says:

    I don’t understand what the fail in this picture is…? There are pyramids in Mexico.

  37. Rebekka says:

    Why the hell is this a fail? They speak spanish in Mexico….

  38. Yogi says:

    Last time I checked the language in Mexico WAS spanish (even though a dialect of it)

  39. Martin Remme says:

    WTF thats Egypt.

  40. CArlos says:

    It’s fail fail.
    They speak spanish in Mexico

  41. Cleo says:

    Don’t they speak Spanish in Mexico?
    o-o

  42. Callum says:

    Yeah they speak spanish in mexico :)
    its just the fact that the picture shows Egypt lol

  43. stepkau says:

    Egypt is a DIRTY, DIRTY place. (and not dirty in a good way either)

  44. Cetair says:

    For all of those who missed the SPHINX of Giza in the picture, go have your eyes tested. I mean it.
