  1. amoK says:

    what the **** is a “booth”?

  2. urkel says:

    being the first to say: i don’t get this!

  3. DrB says:

    So what’s the collective noun for multiple Moomins?

  4. M35H4R1 says:

    WTF?

  5. DrB says:

    And just for the record, what’s the plural for Moomin:

    “Failblog has several resident Moomin”; or
    “Failblog has several resident Moomins”?

  6. Mookie says:

    So this itching is either the clap or fleas? I think you need to narrow it down a bit, doc.

  7. Phaet says:

    Actually it’s a win

  8. Shabadu says:

    I don’t know which is more fail, the sign or people being to inbred to not get the joke.

  9. Petruza says:

    If I ruin the joke, please delete my post, but I feel I have to clarify it for those who don’t get it.

    S.T.D. = Sexualy Transmitted Diseases ( Gonorrea, HIV, etc )

    ‘Flea Market’ is a term to name a market were they sell many used things, it’s not actually an error in the sign.

    P.S. I don’t wanna know what kind of service do you get on those Booths…

  10. SJ says:

    This is a good one very funny. Deserves a round of applause *clap clap*.

  11. Justace Clutter says:

    Where was this taken. I think that I have seen this sign in Springfield, MO

  12. Odar X says:

    Let me suggest that the big fail here is that the two billboards underneath are so much smaller than the big one on top. Why has no one else noticed this? I mean, they are so small you can hardly read what they say. BIG FAIL!

  13. AKNursie says:

    The S.T.D. Flea Market. Conveniently located next to the free walk-in clinic and Walgreen’s drugstore.

  14. Skwerlly Bob says:

    Comments are futile

    *runs off to find Skwerlly Em*

    *Hopes she’s a Skwerl again*

    What kind of STD (Stoopid Toon Disease) might Moomins carry?)

    • Moomin-ish Em says:

      Hi, Bobby! My guess is that you didn’t receive the memo I sent for you in the previous FAIL. And I quote:
      “And, Bob, don’t worry — I’m just a skwerl in a moomin suit. All the cuteness of a moomin, all the fun of a skwerl!”

  15. Daniel says:

    S.T.D. = abbreviation for Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

    It’s a flea market for STDs…

    Got it?

  16. Arancaytar says:

    In those hundreds of booths, /someone/ is going to have the STD you want. :)

  17. Ladderless says:

    STD Crab market would be funnier

  18. Cairis says:

    Sadly.. these things are in my hometown. In fact, they are the first thing my husband noticed, because of the name. We both still get a laugh out of that..*sigh*

    There are actually more than just the one..

  19. czuhc says:

    Well, speaking as the only real doctor here, I…err…ehm… Dammit, that also happens to me in the practice all the time.

  20. Peter says:

    I think the confusion is that this is in the g-rated version, which it should not be. People don’t think the STD reference can be the fail because it would not belong in the g-rated version.

  21. Elbad says:

    My grand mother just loves flea markets she finds the nicest things there.

  22. Animefan says:

    I am comment

  23. itsacrazyasian says:

    In Soviet Russia, comment pwns you!

    OK i’m in bed and bored as hell…

  24. Kukka says:

    Good mushroom year guys!

    What’s the thing with Moomin? Every other person here from Finland?

    • fluffy the fish says:

      Finland, Finland, Finland.
      The country where I want to be,
      Pony trekking or camping,
      Or just watching TV,
      Finland, Finland, Finland.
      It’s the country for me.
      .
      *slaps Kukka with halibut*

      • Moomin-ish Em says:

        Nah, I’m not Finnish. But, technically, Fluffy (Or “Fluffster”, as I would like to call her, if she’d allow me) is already Finnish. So is that there halibut.
        I actually had to have the whole moomin thing explained to me as well, but now I’m just a cute little moomin among many. My guess is that others have simply heard of it, or seen it in their country / place they lived in at the time, and followed the Finnish trend, bringing it to failblog. Then again, this is just a guess, so you’ll have to ask Mikey D, who I believe was the first to have a moomin avatar.

  25. D.R. says:

    I think I’ll try a different store, thanks all the same.

  26. MK says:

    Hey, I’ve seen this before-this is in my town!

  27. Captain Awesome says:

    Conquer the midwest? Anpu would rather go to that std place than conquer the midwest. The midwest sucks.

    • Moomin-ish Em says:

      Correct me if I’m mistaken, but isn’t his name ‘Inpu’? I have no idea who this guy is, and I do not have the attention span to stick around and find out, but from the comments of yours that I’ve seen, his name has always been ‘Inpu’.

  28. Andrea says:

    OMG!

    My city makes Failblog again!

    • Moomin-ish Em says:

      I know the feeling. My city made the front page with ‘Amigone Funeral Home’. Believe it or not, that (Amigone) is actually the last name of the family that owns the funeral home. I always laugh when I go by the home, and I wonder why that family would, of all things, choose to own a funeral home.

  29. wow! I get to chose what kind of STD I want! cool, over 200 choices….

    gross…

  30. Mary says:

    Actually, I have been to all the STD Flea Markets….they are in Springfield, MO, where I grew up, and are great places to look at antiques/junk all day. When I saw they made the fail blog, I had to smile!

    • KoryBing says:

      Same here! I live just a few blocks away from STD Central, they are some of the best flea markets in town. The name is such a joke around here, it’s great to see this crop up on Failblog.

      The STD stands for “Springfield Trading Depot”, in case anybody is wondering.

  31. Daniel says:

    I live a few blocks from there and have considered sending in this picture before. holla

  32. kecky says:

    YAYYYY SPRINGFIELD!!!!

  33. shortee says:

    I was just thinking about sex too…..now not so much….at all……damn!!! DAMN DAMN DAMN! Every time I visit one of these sites it’s always something!

  34. Rachel says:

    I have actually seen this sign in Springfield. Never had the chance to take pic though. Its great.

  35. Clay says:

    With multi locations in Springfield to help infect the masses quicker.

  36. craved says:

    that is so freaking funny. wow.

  37. bus Plunge says:

    This flea market is in my fair city. There are two of them with this name.
    S.T.D. stands for Springfield Tool and Die. The flea market is in the old S.T.D. building.

    Hey Ben S.—- nice stuff!

    Bus Driver

  38. TheBeerBaron says:

    Springfield MO! Holla, there are like 5 of those, Springfield Tool and Dye flea markets…real classy….

  39. Jon says:

    This is in Springfield, MO. They have all kinds of stuff there. Pac-Man drinking glasses, samurai swords and throwing stars – you could spend a whole day discovering the most random stuff there.

  40. sarah says:

    I have been makin fun of those for years….cracks me up till this day!

  41. Caitlin W says:

    Oh my god you beat me to it! I was planning on taking a picture of one of these in my hometown…in fact, I think this was from my hometown, judging from the fact that the signs in the background look familiar. Every time I drive by one of these places, I have a good chuckle.

  42. morgan says:

    std stands for sexually transmitted dieseses. LOL

  43. nicky fingers says:

    this flea market is in Springfield Missouri. i have been to this place several times. just don”t use the toilet. that’s how it got it’s name.

  44. Gone2thedogs says:

    I want to reserve a booth.

  45. oe says:

    OMG I live not a mile from that store.

  46. John says:

    This is in Springfield, Missouri. There are a few locations and they play up their name big time. They have signs reading “the new, used, and abused.” and all of their ads on radio have some sexual innuendo. Good stuff there too.

  47. Mike says:

    If it’s the “STD” market, shouldn’t it be a crab market instead of a flea market?

  48. Valerie Kelley says:

    Hey! This place is in my town! I’ve always made fun of the name.

  49. Jmuss09 says:

    What town is it in? I can tell by the sign to the left its from Missouri, but i cant figure out where. I live in MO and just want to make sure that its not a product of my town’s stupidity :(

  50. Lizard says:

    Actually. This photo was taken in Springfield, MO. The STD Flea Market is the original buildign for Springfield Tool and Die, a tool manufacturing place. When the flea market took over, they just kept it as STD. And as most of you know, back in the day it was called VD, so STD wasn’t a point of interest until here recently.

    I know it takes the fun out of it, but hey! Maybe someone learned something!

    And by the way? A booth is a partitioned section for each seller where they sell their items. It’s like a room with only 3 sides.

  51. Emerald says:

    omgosh! This is right down the street from me!!

  52. Jacob says:

    I live here! There are actually five of them around town. (These are in Springfield, Missouri.)

  53. Kati says:

    I live right near one of these – Springfield, the land of the venereal disease flea markets! Surprisingly, you can find some pretty good stuff there.

  54. Emily says:

    Dude, lol, these are in the town where I go to college and there are like five of them. Way to go Springfield, MO

  55. fail judge says:

    FAIL

  56. Kriptyq says:

    This place is in southern Missouri… I’ve been there a few times… It’s a great place… But it is sorta like a local joke.. Yet they haven’t changed the name… Rofl.

    • Ryan says:

      Yeah, it’s actually in Springfield, MO. I’m from St. Louis originally but I used to travel there often

  57. chris artigues says:

    i live like 3 blocks from that store

  58. Aaron says:

    FYI. S.T.D stands for Springfield Trading Depot. It’s located in Springfield, Missouri, and there are four of them.

    Just thought you might want to know

  59. tom says:

    NO it does NOT !!! It stands for Springfield Tool & Die which is where the original one opened

  60. Sarah says:

    i drive by that place on my way to skool almost evrday, and almost evryday i wonder “Where the heck did they come up with STD??? OF ALL THINGS!” but its funny at least

  61. Lizzie says:

    w2g springfield! I live here and im so glad we r finally known 4 something other than being close 2 Branson. It’s kinda like a joke around here, like, it stands4 something else, but no 1 really cares, cuz evn the owners dont mean it like its supposed 2 b. And now instead of the show me state, missouri shudb the VD state

  62. ersatzcure says:

    Oh god, I live in the town this is in. xD It’s Springfield, MO. It’s stands for South Trade District but I have always laughed at it…

  63. ersatzcure says:

    Whoops, reading throught the posts I guess that’s not what STD stands for. -shrug- That’s just what I’ve always been told.

  64. Hutch says:

    Springfield Trade Days…STD.. Located in Springfield MO, Been there.

  65. s.s.Awesome says:

    flea markets are these junk stores where u buy broken things

  66. VACHETA! what does the scouter say about the number of booths?

  67. Rose says:

    wow… is this picture taken in springfield, missouri? i used to live there… and i always made fun of that sign.

  68. Mike says:
