Color blind win, maybe?
Probably
Hey, white is a colour too you know!
Actually, it’s not.
Actually It is. It is every color of the visible light spectrum combined in one. YOU FAIL!!!
correcting others FAIL!!
that’s only when dealing with light. when dealing with pigmentation (solid objects) white is the absence of color.
All colors would give you a BLACK shirt.
that WOULD be true if it were possible to make a perfectly white shirt.
The shirt is not the issue.
We’re dealing with basic principles of colored dyes and pigments and James’ failure. We’re not even talking about the shirt at this point.
Look, the letter T is black (all pigments), so we are done here.
There is no t-shirt.
There is no spoon.
no fork either.
i love you
Correction of a correction fail. All color deals with light. You couldn’t have color without it. So saying that all colors would give you black is wrong. Black is an absence of color, white is the reflection of all colors. You can’t avoid it.
Correcting corrections FAIL!!!!!!!
If you bind all the colors togather you get brown!!
Actually it’s not, it’s a tone.
Lies.
Actually, thats black. White is absence of all color. You get a color theory FAIL!
Actually, that’s half wrong. In light, white is the PRESENCE of ALL colors.
Oo physics phail.
Yes white is a color. If the item had no color it would be clear.
Even color blind people can see all but the most subtle contrast, even if they don’t know what colors they are looking at.
……..and now we have failure to see sarcasm, congrats!
Fourth
Understanding color blindness fail. Red/ Green one of the most common forms of color blindness. Not so subtle contrast.
I am color blind. I have a hard time differentiating between black and dark slate. I feel so inadequate. hold me
Ahh now it will be ok. Just go over to that snake there it will be glad to hold you.
At least one certain shade of green apparently looks brown to me. Couldn’t tell you what shade of green it is, though .. just that it’s whatever shade they use on the Alberta driver’s license test, which is how I found out about this.
But those shirts are _definitely_ white.

You fail. WHITE is a color too…
its all colors combined in fact
It’s the true too!
Then where’s the true three?
1-2-3-3 <—–the true three..
That’s what I was thinking.
I thought all the colours combined would give you a brown mess.
brown is the new white
I accidentally all the colors!
Quick! A urinal cake
ALL the colors??? What should you do???
*lobs an action verb into the thread*
*exits*
But you just got here!
Actually, she was hiding in the closet watching this argument.
This isn’t an arguement.
Yes it is!
(Even though you spelled it wrong.)
No it isn’t!
(Um, yeah, that was all part of my clever plot to get somebody to reply to me…yeah, that’s the ticket!)
Oh, I’m sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument the full half hour?
I was thinking of taking a course.
Has anyone considered the thought that the “T’s” were blank, and then colored in?
Free your mind, and the rest will follow. Be color blind, don’t be so shallow.
White is a color…it’s all colors in hex
Don’t be a dumby CUM ON HER TUMMY!!!
Rhyming FAIL.
They’re INVISIBLE colors.
FIRST *insult* *insult the insult* PHOTOSHOPPED!!

There! Now let’s get on with the fun bits.
PS This is my second attempt to do this comment tonight.
What is going on here tonight? Is it tick coyote off day already?
Woohoo! Its Oct 14th! It’s officially “Tick off coyote day.”
coyote? *tick* aka *check*
“Tick,” AKA “beat.”
Do you need the ticks picked out of your fur?
Volunteering?
If you sit and stay.
*begs*
heel! lie down.
I never lie. I am very truthful.
Canines don’t lie, you’re right. I’ll teach you to shake and high-five.
Ah. but I thought Coyote was a trickster?
Well played recap of failblog posts
Depressingly accurate. Suddenly there’s no point in trying any more!
psst… Coyote… you forgot *your mom* insult *Monty Python complete sketch* insult *someone who doesn’t get it* insult *insult insult*
He also forgot “absolutely hilarious commentary from really smart and funny people” and “obligatory pun-run thread”.
Hmph!
…and “reference to Hitler” and “obscure song lyrics”
…not to mention outrageous “get a room!” flirting and previous fail references.
British vs. American spelling *insult* – Check.
Dumb Americans comment *insult insult* – Check.
Learn how to nest *insult* dumbass *insult* – Check.
(repeat) PHOTOSHOPPED!!!!11 *insult* – Check.
That is the main reason I read the comments!! you lot are very amusing.
Cheers for giving me a good laugh at least once a day.
You forgot your mom. Good compilation though.
My mother was a saint!!!
The flirting, Monty Python, smart commentary and puns all come under the “fun bits” heading.
Well said, good sir. Well said!
Some of the flirting also comes under the “naughty bits” heading.
Ooooh, goody then!
*flirts!*
*quotes*
*says something smart*
Like you need permission.
*grin*
WOW !!!
The “WOW !!!” really is the fail…
which is what i was thinking.>.<”
Yeah, what does World of Warcraft have to do with colored t’s? (Maybe it was one of those instant substitutions?)
The WOW is actually a Walgreens term (where this picture was taken) used in their marketing. They like to say it means, WIN OVER WALMART… but yes, in this case, it failed. They probably scanned the wrong UPC.
i can’t believe i’m doing this…SECOND!
Second fail. Boo hoo.
Unbelievable! You are not SECOND!!
There maybe was colored there bedore but got replaced.
It rained and the shirts weren’t colorfast.
If colors (colours) run does that mean that they are not fast and if they don’t run they are fast?
My brain died.
“I am a nightmare walking, psychopath talking
King of my jungle just a gangster stalking
Living life like a firecracker quick is my fuse
Then dead as a deathpack the colors I choose”
MAJOR WIN LOL!!!!!!
Fail, on all accounts.
White is my favorite type of colored!!!
I’m not White, I’m Racially Impaired!!!
Pigmentally Challenged, thank you very much.
Melanin-Deficient, if you please.
What do severe freckles mean?
It means you have spattergoit.
You may have a bad case of Gingervitis.
I think I have a soul!
Not a ghost of a chance.
That’s Immaterial.
A spirited reply indeed!
A deeper shade of soul?
I accidenty a Ginger… is this bad?
No
what are SEVERE freckles? like the ones SO close together they start forming continents and you get these weird pangea / rorshack test blotches all over4?
No, just too many to count.
Spelling fail, it’s colour
limey fail.
Knowing where I’m from FAIL
He knows where you are from. You apparently do not. FAIL.
Mistaken identity fail. I’m sure he knows where he is from. Probably Wales.
Or Canada. Canadians spell it colour as opposed to color as well.
Isn’t Kieren an Irish name?
being british fail, it’s american
Being British is never a fail! Come on, chaps and chapesses, let’s get the yankee!
Oh, frightfully rude of me, would you like anything to drink first?
Perhaps a spot of tea?
Capital, what what?
I don’t know, what?
Capitol, watt watt.
Hype fail. What’s so damn cool in (not)colored t’s?
Oh man, you just don’t get it. T-SHIRTS, dude! T-SHIRTS!!!
Yeah, man. Welcome to Squaresville, population: madgamerpl.
Not only color fail, but apostrophe fail, too. T’s?! ARGH!
What a bunch of blockheads!
#FFFFFE
Yes, off white is a colour.
dork win
#FADED0
#BLAZED0
#CHOSEN1
Whiter shade of pale?
They must have smoked good stuff to see all those colors…
So I guess white is not a color?
Zeitgeist win
Poltergeist win.
Keeping teeth white = hygeist win
Teaching 1-2-3-4 with Elmo on Sesame Street = Feist win
Hi ya sunshine!
What’s my on win?
Shit. That’s how we know your win isn’t a king.
This sounds horrible.
GodDAMN. Is this another fu*king Monty Python reference? For fu*ck’s sake.
Do you mean #FFFFFF, or is that some geeky hexadecimal joke I don’t get? :/
#FFFFFF is indeed white. #FFFF00 is Yellow. #FF0000 is Red. #000000 is Black. Not sure exactly what to call #FFFFFE, but it’s probably fairly close to white though.
#FFFFFE is a slightly yellowish white – as though the shirts had been worn and washed. That might explain the excellent bargain.
Is the slightly yellowish just in some places? If so, they have not been white yet and someone making the signs has way too much time or something else on his hands. *clean up on aisle wow!!*
hahah I just meant that it would be technically coloured, but would look white to the naked eye.
PS does anybody ever make their eye wear clothes?
I have fat eyes, you don’t want to see them naked, it’s not pretty
I’ve been told I have fat eyes but they’re really good in bed.
They aren’t fat, just lazy o_O
A slightly yellowish white…so the color of your bed sheets then?
Only in spots.
They made a movie about that bed, it’s called A River Runs Through It!
(Nothing personal, CE, just trying to do my part to help bring about the BotW revival.)
.
(I suppose apologizing to the burnee kind of diminishes the burn, huh.)
Just a bit, hon.
:sheepish:
It’s okay…it takes practice to funny-burn without remorse.
I can’t help it, I’m just a nice guy.
.
That reminds me of a joke:
Why do nice guys make great lovers? Because nice guys finish last!
Hee!
And, as I am sure you’ve seen here many a time, lots of “nice” folks are good with the funny-burn. There is an art to burning with kindness. The trolls are the ones who have no consideration for others’ feelings.
That’s the definition of a troll.
I believe I just said that, Syooooper Gyyeeeeenius.
*sticks thumbs in ears, sticks tongue out, wiggles fingers, makes rude sound with tongue*
What a strange person!
Heeeeeeeeeeee.
Here. Have an Acme rocket to play with.
I keep lighting it but the fuse won’t stay lit.
Meep meep!
Here use this *hands coyote a lit stick of dynamite*
Do you mean “I am not geek enough to learn to nest comments” or this is a joke I am not getting?
Actually, loufail, I am dork enough to have tried to reply with a nested comment, only to have that comment fall out of the tree. At least this result was better than other posts I’ve attempted that just never showed up.
Spelling fail. Colour has a “U” in it.
Not your country recognition fail. e.g. Color is spelled correctly.
If my guess on location in the south is accurate, we are lucky they are using the word colored and not some more offensive word so be glad they spelled colored correctly.
Hey that’s how it’s spelt in the English language. So it must not be English then.
That’s how they don’t do it with ‘aluminum’ too.
Hurray for proper english!!
colour
colour
colour
Pride win!
And while we’re at it: Traveller, traumatise, and HERB HAS AN H IN IT.
*feels better now*
Aluminium!
..I spell herb with an h and I’m from America. People spell it a different way? o.o
Some spell it H-E-R-P-E-S.
Only the medicinal kinda.
You can’t “kinda” have herpes.
Well maybe just once in a while?
Are you somewhat pregnant?
The Brits pronounce the “h” in “herb” because, as Eddie Izzard pointed out, “it has a f*cking H in it!”
…This from the same man who says, “‘Ello!”
The American ‘erb’ has always baffled me. Don’t suppose you know the origin of it?
In fact, I do!
Up until the 17th century, everyone pronounced it without the “h”–including the Brits! In fact, in many old manuscripts it is spelled “erb”. This is because English originally borrowed the word from French, which had taken it before from Latin, and in the original Latin the “h” was silent”, as in words like “hono(u)” or “heir”.
Therefore, I hate to break it to you, but the Americans are actually pronouncing it correctly. :p
Arrrrrr, me spelling be damned!
They’re, their. *pats on back*
Now you’re just trying to make me feel better by giving me something to *FOOM!!*
Actually it should be English. Not “english”.
Um, aren’t you Amish? You call everyone “english”.
Colored T’s. Not available in color.
That’s just racist!
Young black men wear white T-shirts a lot, so I’m with you.
What is it with all these Shit fails recently?
I guess Failblog needs to take some Ex-Lax.
Haven’t you heard? At this stage we’re just doing it to piss you off.
Unnecessary CAPS fail.
Actually Coyote kinda covered all that so we can take the day off.
Woo HOO!
*runs outside to play*
*puts on rose-colored sunglasses*
So how does the world look now?
Knowing that the glasses are rose-colored seems to negate their effect.
Well, phoo.
Anything I can do to make the world a little rosier for you?
You will always keep me riveted.
Oo!
Does this mean we can do it?
Why don’t we do it in the road?
Let’s roll up our sleeves — from the neck down.
Want to feel my bicep?
*flexes*
Hard! Want to feel my glutes?
*stands erect*
Nice and firm…just the way I like it!
Want to feel something soft now?
*inserts obligatory ‘get a room’ comment*
I got a room. A very soft room.
That causes one to trail off…
…because who needs words when you have something this hard and this soft in one place?
“Dear Prudence,
Won’t you come out to play?
Dear Prudence,
Greet the brand new day?”
Dragon, click my name for the pic I promised you.
That tat’s pretty damn sweet.
Gracias!
Oooh! Chinese dragon!
That’s great…I love the colors. Your kids must LOVE it!
Most definitely, they do! Chinese because I think they’re the true origin. After all, that’s where civilization started. I wanted to honor that history.
Hum. I thought the debate these days is that civilization started in Africa and quickly spread to Mesopotamia.
…Not to downplay China’s most awesome history!
Hmmmmmmmm…. Sorry, I’d hum more, but I can’t carry a tune.
My failure to clarify, the history I meant is the cradle of life theory, in Persia/Mesopotamia, the general locale of Asia, therefore Asian history. I studied that rather than the compulsory American history in college, much more interesting and relevant to our (human) existence.
Compulsory American history in college? As if we didn’t get enough of it in elementary school, junior high/middle school, and high school.
Amen.
The shirts aren’t colored, they’re for the colored people.
actually, the joke is on you here. If you know anything about color theory white is ALL of the colors in the spectrum combined. Just don’t mix all your paints cause it will look like poo.
that is white light… the object that reflects all light (appearing white) has no color. Indeed, you fail.
well, actually, an object is said to have a certain colour only because that colour is not absorbed by the object, a red shirt is anything but red, adn we see the red light reflected off, so a white shirt is truely colorless because it reflets all colours
I just accidently all my paints
what should I do?
Sell it for tens of thousand of dollars.
*s
*$
*SSSSSSNAKE
I don’t think my screen is working… The shirts are white on my screen??? :S
Plain white t’s? Well hey there, Delilah!
If you look closer I think you may see the white stripes, which are a bit bluesy.
So that’s why they jack the price up.
Good thing they’re not button-up shirts or they’d probably have the hardest button to button.
You’re really making a martyr out of yourself with that comment!
Take back what you said, Lunchbox, and while you’re at it take yourself back too!
Don’t make me send my seven-nation army after you!
A seven-nation army couldn’t hold me back!
Additional comment about how colour has a u in it, leading to a a discussion about the Norman invasion of 10xx and how its not a part of ye olde britishe languagee anywaye.
1066 A.D.
What I want to know is how Norm could have invaded, considering all the time he spends at that bar.
If you don’t know how Norm was invaded, then let me give you these four little words: “Squeal like a pig”
x=6
Kiss my math!
X = 10 XX = 20
I can’t use those numerals or I’ll have to pay Roman charges.
The sign is photoshopped
I love the ‘WOW !!!’ they’ve got on the sign.
Guys,
Firstly all you noobs that didn’t go to school, white and black are shades. No buts, don’t give me anything. It just is, thats science – crazy. But lets end that one, sorry if someone already clarified that, cba readin all these borin comments.
And if u look to the corner, theres a red t-shirt, so its really not so much a fail after all, apart from the fact that the term colour for white is a fail, but maybe the sign was meaning the red t-shirts, after all its infront of those.
Hey Mom! Don’t you have a soccer team you need to transport?
And can’t you tell a t-shirt from a plastic bag with writing on it?
Exactly what I thought. I’m surprised it took so long for someone to mention it. It’s pretty obvious this sign has colored shirts in front of it and the sign is referring to them. My guess is the other side of the sign says “plain t-shirts.” I declare this contribution a fail.
The shirts are 5 for 10 because you have to add the colour yourself.
Fail fail. The shirts in front of the sign are red.
Look closer. Those aren’t shirts, those are plastic bags.
Erm, They are Coloured, Coloured white
I’m amazed no one else made this comment, so I will …
You can have any color you want, as long as you want white.
(Thanks Henry Ford! I *KNEW* I would be able to use that one someday!)
Hey~ That red isn’t t-shirts. look a bit closer……. >.> IT’S SHINEY! Walgreens display fails…
OOH! SHINEY!
Okay people, I am tired of all these off color remarks.
You don’t like the color commentary?
Color me surprised, but I don’t think he does.
If I colored you surprised, I don’t think Loz would be pleased.
Would she raise a hue and cry?
I don’t tint so, but I am not sure. We should ask her.
Do you think of me as a bluenose?
Feeling a bit moody, Blue?
Has your excitement faded?
Hey, Aussie-man!
*hug!*
So submit it
what you guys don’t realize is that this sign pertains to the red shirts below it, not to the white ones behind it.
if you were to walk behind the sign, you would see the reverse, which would most likely say “white t-shirts”.
This was addressed earlier. That is red plastic in the front.
Actually, I think those are red shirts in plastic bags. Besides which White is a color. An item with no color wouldn’t be white, it would be translucent. Color is a function of the light rays that an item absorbs and reflects. To be colorless it would have to do neither.
Noop…look closer. The plastic is red with writing on it, and you can see something white inside it.
So I guess you’ll be washing your colors with your whites, then?
“Noop…look closer. The plastic is red with writing on it, and you can see something white inside it.”
Yea, you’re right I looked closer and I agree.
“So I guess you’ll be washing your colors with your whites, then?”
Ah, no. But bleeding dyes isn’t really the issue.
Nope…but the fact that when it comes to clothing, “whites” and “colors” are two very different things is!
True, but washing terms for clothes isn’t the same as whether white is a color in the scientific sense.
Soooo…you’re telling me that the sign in this picture is defining “colored” in the scientific sense and NOT in the way that people actually talk about clothes?
No, not at all. I just prefer the scientifically correct terminology over the common clothing usage. Besides which, I wouldn’t have brought up the “white is a color” thing if not for the people trying to prove it is not on the grounds that it reflects all the light in the visible spectrum.
You’re confusing transparent and opaque with colors.
“You’re confusing transparent and opaque with colors.”
No, I am not. Several times through this thread people have claimed that white isn’t a color. The reason given for this statement is that white reflects all the light from the spectrum. But that proves EXACTLY the opposite. Why? Color is based on which parts of the visible light spectrum an object reflects and which it absorbs. So, since it reflects them all it is a color. And since black absorbs them all it is also a color. The only object that you could claim had no color would have to neither reflect nor absorb any of the light. In other words it would be translucent/transparent. Transparent isn’t a color, it is lack of color. White is a color.
My rose-colored sunglasses are colored and transparent.
Well…actually they’re a bit steamed up, but your point is well taken.
No, they are only semi transparent. If they were truly transparent they wouldn’t be rose colored.
My sunglasses do not cause diffusion just because they have hue. Clear objects can be transparent in some wavelengths and not others, thus causing the perception of color. Neutral density optic filters are designed to not differentially affect the visible wavelengths passing through them. You are possibly confusing transparent with colorless. See achromatic.
Typical Walgreens ignorance.
I’m torn between making a Henry Ford joke or a white supremacist joke.
[explodes]
Well… white is a color…
Looks to me like this Fail is a fail.
There’s pink shirts just below the sign.
plural noun apostrophe fail?
Shouldn’t be an apostrophe in “T’S” either, since it’s a plural, not a possessive. Grammar fail too.
HOW DARE THEY TRY AND RIP OFF THE COLOUR BLIND!
I think its funny that no one sees the red shirts in FRONT of the sign. Those are probably the shirts it is talking about. seeing as the sign is connected to THAT bin.
Sure, nobody’s ever going to read this fail, or even this far down on the comments, but I had to post. This is at a Walgreens, and those sort of things happen all the time, especially if the box was mislabeled (a common occurrence with cheap shirts) as colored tees and then turned out to be white.
I read this. Your expectations fail.
Win!
I saw a fail like this the other day, but I didn’t have my camera *sigh*.
I saw a box of packaged gloved with a sticker on each package…that showed a palm tree on the beach and a guy standing next to it in a swimsuit with a volleyball.
Colour spelling fail. Learn ENGLISH.
White is actually the mix of all colors, so win.
does it really matter? all this arguing is taking away from the fail. DON’T LET THE FAIL DIE!
(no pun intended)
Ugh. Proper APOSTROPHE USE fail too.
(And isn’t it “tee”?)
coloUr has a u in it. Im english so know the ENGLISH language better than any americans. It just does ok
white’s a color!
