What’s with the rock?
What’s with the victory sign?
They are playing rock-paper-scissors. It’s a fail because the guy lost.
But his other hand would win over the rock!
wow… I bet the rock never even saw that coming.
There’s a news story on the foundation’s name.

There’s a news story about the foundation’s name.
On Google, copy/paste “foundation for the retarded of the desert” (IN QUOTES) and you’ll find some right away.
WTF! –NOW– my comments show up after pressing “Show All.”
Comment System FAIL!!!!!
You REALLY wouldn’t have liked the Great Comment Cap after the Days of No Nesting of summer 2008. They were dark days indeed. *remembers*
We should have gotten some sort of memorial for going through
both of those events. I still wish they would give us the option of
having cp=all being our default on a user by user basis.
Ooh rae, it’s ?cp=all, don’t confuse the kids.
.
But you are so right, there should be a placard somewhere. “Never Forget”
And I want a medal for only bitching twice, I was really holding back.
yepps!!! But its not that funny, i just see a Peace sign.
Genius !
I think Gustafsson has it.
Well played Gustafsson!
There’s a news story on the foundation’s name. See this?

WHY AREN’T MY COMMENTS SUBMITTING???
Testing here…
I wonder if he finds out? Stay tuned…wait, I’ve seen this one.
*Snickers.*
Is this the one where the blogmonster…oh, no. I won’t give away the ending.
The blogmonster isn’t such a bad guy…
your the shamwow guy
Magic *salutes*
xDDDDD great!
Thanks for the description – I didn’t understand it without reading your comment.
I have to say the picture is amusing, but yours and other comments that followed are what really have me howling! Very funny! Thanks for the guffaws!
What’s with the tattoos?
Mom?
That’s not a victory sign, that’s the “F*** you” sign. The hand is the other way round (thumb and fingers away from body) for the “V for Victory” sign.
I think that really depends on what country he’s from.
If he sticks his tongue in that V it becomes a different sign entirely.
Is that a go ahead sign for you?
It’s a go below sign for most.
Win.
*looks suspiciously up at the previous poster’s name…*
Whats wrong with their name?
Worm!
Wyrm, silly,
^&^
vermiform vs. serpentine
Appendix A: ((Mg, Fe)Si O(OH))
3 2 5 4
Jim Thompson?
Serpentine, duh.
Better retarded than …
Ah – spoke too soon
:p
hee hee
An I wanna go below sign
Me, too. God, someday.
It’s a wonderful thing when a woman is a pervert, this is truly the world of equal oppurtunity!
Obviously a wrong one.
P
He is saying I have been the poster boy for this org for 2 years
More like, what’s with the guy?
The rock is with the guy
Which of the two is the president of the foundation?
The rock is – he’s the brains of the operation.
It’s a rocky relationship between the two though.
It’s the rock’s fault – he’s a real hardass.
Well, the relationship has a retarded foundation.
This comment string got off to a rocky start its on a solid foundation now. Victory is assured…
…or will it just skip away?
Maybe it’ll float…I’ll strap myself to it and find out.
A CHALLENGER APPEARS!!
lol
The Rock is in fact a guy.
the sign is actually a cactus as well
and i think you can see android origins in that guy (not the rock)
dont even get me started on those tattoos
What’s with the tattoos?
Yeah, what kind of weirdo deviant pervert would ever get tattoos?
*covers up avatar*
My parents would endorse that viewpoint. I was offered laser removals for Christmas for the tenth year in a row.
Wow, you have lasers attached to yourself?
YES
Erm, they look very nice.
They bring out the colour in the eyes you no longer have.
*sidles away very quietly*
GREEN LASERS WILL FIND WHERE YOU HIDE
Gun Star Heroes? I LOVED that game.
Apparently you didn’t like Street Fighter Two, though.
Yeah, I just didn’t reference it when you put ‘A CHALLENGER APPEARS’. I referenced it on another of your comments.
Are you man enough to fight with me?
I hope I’ve shown you how to fight a lady.
Next time I’ll have to get rough.
[Tries to get Fleshbane started]
We’ve failed I reckon.
*sobs*
*SQUEEZE!!!*
*opens umbrella and floats up into the sky*
The cake is a lie!
C.A.K.E.S.? I don’t believe they exist.
*ATTACKED BY CAKE*
The C.A.K.E.S. were devoured by the R.O.U.S.
Rockie is in fact a gal. Her baby’s on the right…
Awwwww, a rockette!
*dons Rockette uniform and starts doing high-kicks*
*cheers*
Woooooooooooooooooo!
McFail, why no underwear? There’s no jury to sway here.
I have a moral objection to underwear.
Wow, one more thing we have in common! *high fives*
*high fives back*
Lawyers with morals?
Hee!
Hmmm, I wonder?
*grabs a nearby Lawyer*
*reads the small print*
This Lawyer Contains Less Than 2% of the following ingredients: Morals, Ethics, Integrity, Other Redeeming Social Values.
Where’s the love today Skwerlly Bob? *runs off to cry in corner*
The fail is expecting there to be any love from Blue Santa Bob. Dear child, all of you fail in recognizing a disease ridden piece of vermin garbage when you see one. And if he cant get love as one of his multiple personalities, he will pretend to be someone else including someone else.
POT
*puff, puff, pass*
Ohhh, here I was thinking Bob meant The Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan. It’s stocks appear to be on the up today.
Oh, my darling McFail, my Sweet Flower, forgive me, I was not speaking of you, but the Ambulance Chasing Scummy Male Lawyer that I had grabbed. I’m sure that your ingredients are wholesome and delightfully yummy.
I thought that one was going to be a union kill.
Side Note:
You should always buy POT on the way down, when you’re high you’ll pay too much and buy too much.
*hugs to Bob* And thanks for that advice
you peeps are like 12 years old huh stupid ok
Do you know what happens when you put a Peep in the microwave?? Sure, you say “huh stupid ok” but it’s MAGICAL.
Yes, I’ve seen his movies…
*rolls eyes*
Just as long as the guy doesn’t take the rock for granite.
Of quartz he will. It will an oreful break up.
Its probably from the desert! Like that guy.
He’s been through the desert with a rock and he’s lame.
Been through the desert with a rock with no name.
This is America, he can say it anyway he wants.
hot rocks with douche bags.
haha i have his cell number we should spam him with calls
Idk. maby they wanter to be cool like elmo.
Rock prevents people from stealing the plaque.
If you put the plaque UNDER the rock, yes, maybe then.
But then what would keep people from stealing the rock?
The guy was put there by the foundation to protect the rock. He stands ground. “Rock don’t move” is the simple instructions given to him.
Don’t be nasty. She’s a good rock. Watch…
Rockie…stay…
Rockie sit! Sit, Rockie.. Goooood guuurl =)
Awwwwww *scratchscratchrubrub*
.
Rockie…play dead…
Rockie NO! Not on the carpet.. Bad. bad, bad Rockie
Hey!!! Poooooor Rockie…
Awwwww. She’s an outside rock Halebale, you should never have brought her in to play.
.
Rockie…go sit outside next to that dodgy guy and your baby…
… and give back DrB’s slippers
Oh phoo…she chewed up the paper again.
The man is the eyes of the operation, the rock is the heart and muscle.
Plaque prevents the rock to be blew by the wind.
Is he not a dentist come to remove the plaque?
Is he not Bono come to rock the plantlets?
Is The Edge squished under that rock by way of revenge?
All the time Bono was wailing he still hadn’t found what he was looking for, The Edge had it hidden under his hat.
That’s why he was feeling numb.
He was in vertigo actually
Well, in vertigo veritas, you know.
True! *pukes*
i put Rockie to sleep. For good
*Calls in the Roflcopter*
Just drop ‘im out there with the cactai somewhere.
SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI
Rock smashed scissors for top billing.
durr FIRST!!
A veterinarian told one of my friends that her cat is retarded. You should also get that checked out.
Why? It’s not HIS cat.
Good one.
First?
Retarded of the desert? Anpu jokingly wonders if this is where they put all the Scientologists.
Alas, they do not.
What is the sign actually supposed to say!? o.O
Foundation for the retarded of the desserts.
Foundation for the deserted of the retards
Found retardation, deserted
Headlines:
“Rock found deserted retard”
Retarded foundations never let you down, never gonna turn around and desert you.
You did NOT just rick roll us…. >.<
Retardation of foundation desserts.
Foundation for finding retarded people in the desert. He was their latest find.
Muad-Dib would use him for the front line. Sonic boom!
*Fremen scatter*
Guile’s on the attack.
Ooh, spicy!
Sandworm?!?!
Foundation for the desertion of retards
that is actually what the place used to be called. it has changed since the photo was taken, but that was the real name.
Retarded of the desert? I smell a fatwa coming! Watch out for your face!
Because Anpu punches the faces of the stupid. But not retarded. You don’t punch retarded people. At least not their faces.
Pfff, that was one smelly fatwa. What did you have for dinner?
You just increased Dilly’s counter by one.
You’re lucky I’m retarded, and can only count to rock
Quran verses of course! Always good for a fatwa smell.
@capt. awesome: what DO you punch when it comes to retards?
I ignore the retarded person and find a Scientologist to punch in the face. Maybe I’ll kick the Scientologist in the groin after that.
I like the idea of a foundation for one person. AND he bought himself a nice rock with the gifts.
He is the last retard.
A giant red bull is chasing him out of the sea?
Oh, I get it…but those plants don’t look that retarded…
Its an actual foundation… Though they renamed themselves to DesertArc. Or at least that’s what Google says.
good move.
I know a few people who are actually retarded and many many more who act like it but universally neither group likes being referred to as “retarded”.
and i guess your retarded too, u obviously fail at life
Is that aloe vera?
Probably not. Might be something out of the Aloe genus, at leat related. But I doubt that the species is vera, considering that there are around 400 species in the genus Aloe
Cheers benj0. I was kinda hoping for some word play.
Man, are you in the wrong place.
Sorry about landing one on ya last night…I was a tad tipsy!
????
I did get back to the thread (clicky) a little late I ’spose.
Oh that! I have no objections to your sugar, Dr. B!
DrB
You accidenty your n. I don’t think his name is Vera. But he is definitely alone as he probably will be his entire life.
That F*cker!!!!! He just trophy-plaqued that wild rock…
This one is terrible, the worst entry here I’ve ever seen.
Your comment is incredible, the bet comment here I’ve ever seen.
How mush do you wanna bet?
Better bet yo ass on it
Your entry here wasn’t that hot either, tiger.
Apologies I missed the scotch and cigar last night DrB, the internet went down in our area!
And then we were sabotaged while we relaxed!
And then we were sabotaged while we relaxed!
This is one of the most puzzling things I ever read on FB.
*throws file on table* What do you make of this, Inspector czuhc? I want a report on my desk by oh-eight-hundred tomorrow.
I suspect it was Miss Scarlett, on the roof, with the petrol powered vibrating potato.
That sounds both flammable and delicious. But not the way she’s using it.
Sabotaged? I don’t know what you mean. On waking I realised that I must’ve spilt the scotch in the lap of my trousers…
.
So I whipped off the pants and sucked-out the scotch…strange, though, it tasted a bit wrong…
Maybe it was some reaction with the scotch and the night air?
Did you not fall over when you tried to stand? That was from your shoelaces being tied together and not drunken-ness! And either I had been pretending to be Dame Edna in my sleep again or someone face-painted me.
The only clue we were left with was a lipstick stained napkin. So we are looking for someone with no lips.
…and our hands in that cup of water…
*Gah!SplutterPthooy!*
.
That wasn’t spilt scotch in my lap…
ShamWow? *proffers*
You’re very considerate, you know.
*schlopsupfalsescotch*
Unless you’re a dessert salmon, you’re not allowed to comment on this one.

*baked palin
Salmon…Dessert…Mmmmmm
Fishcicle anyone? Hurry before they melt…
I just smoked a salmon. I’m wicked high, I don’t know how I’m going to work today.
I just dropped some bass-id. I’m enjoying the rainbows and the music.
Somebody pass me a needle and some herr(o)ing (sorry – i don’t know if this breaks word play rules… lash me til i drop if I’m wrong)
Mmmm, same. I f’eel like some sweet breams….
What are you smoking, Salmon?
That’s a rock-solid foundation.
Are you sure that it’s not infact a sock-rolid fondue?
photoshop fail?
Oh yes, someone tried to concoct a picture of a beautiful lady holding a flower in a cornfield, but somehow things went amiss.
For some reason, this comment just struck me as totally hilarious, rendering me mostly inert for a good two minutes. Comment Win!
For good reason, it had the same effect on me. I lol’d.
*adds some elements to Diana*
She is now ert!
I think awry would have sounded better than amiss… each to their own :/
Try rebooting. If it still doesn’t work, try re-installing…
You must work in tech support.
Off topic:
I just read in a patient’s medical file (Yes, I do FB commenting in between patients) “Something exploded in anus”. Tsk, you can’t trust the potatos anymore nowadays.
I’ll keep that in mind when I hang up some meat curtains again, naked.
That made me cry a little. Heeheeheeheeheehee.
Ew, make sure you wash your hands before you type – you’ll infect us all!
Aiiii, where’s Rhiannon (sp?) when we need her?
Whose chart do you think he was reading?
Armageddon?
IMDB: “People always seem to be flaming this movie left and right because it’s stupid or long or it has no logic”
IMDB: “It’s not supposed to sweep the Oscars, the acting isn’t supposed to be perfect, and it’s not supposed to make perfect sense.”
.
I guess Michael Bay just said “screw it, that’s a wrap!”
.
Dilly, do you know the Armageddon gerbil story? If not go to youtube, it is inconceivable.
Oh flaming, I gets it now.
Landsakes Dilly, your curves blowing right by me today.
I must get the name of their landscaper.
Chewbacca,
lol
Prudential commercial take 57. And……. ACTION!
Heinz commercial take 57, aaaaaaaaaaaand RELISH!
This is a real question now:
Where ist the fail/joke in this? I really don’t understand this…
There’s nothing to understand. The person who posted it simply doesn’t understand what a “fail” is. Apparently the 98 people who have voted for it as I write this also don’t understand what a “fail” is.
They really do need to make it more difficult to get onto the internet.
yeah i saw one of your posts it was pretty funny, oh wait i was horribly wrong i must go gouge my eyes out cuz i was thinking of someone that was actually funny
It’s a Feng Sui fail.
My house’s impeccable Feng Shui is out of whack from your spelling. Please come rearrange my end tables.
“Please come rearrange my end tables.”
.
Is that some sort of euphemism?
Can I have a Venn diagram of how that euphemism would work?
I don’t see the fail.
It there were some amusing error in the text on the placard on the rock, they should have shown a closer photo of the placard itself
If you’re using Firefox, you can hit Shift +, and that will enlarge the view. Do this enough and you’ll be able to read the plaque.
If this does not work try using a Shamwow on your computer screen to clean it.
You really love those ShamWows don’t you?
The foundation decided it was a “FAIL” and has renamed itself “DesertArc.” Although when the foundation was created “retarded” was merely a descriptive clinical term, the word has taken on a stigma that was hurtful to clients…hence, “FAIL.”
Or were you being sarcastic? In which case, Erin Kiley’s sarcasm detector…FAIL.
Yeah, they have changed their names because the retarded people out in the desert are up in arms for being called retarded. They don’t know why they should be up in arms, they are being told they are offended so they are getting all wigged out about it.
Everyone knows “retarded” is offensive because it doesn’t differentiate between the idiots, the imbeciles and the morons. They should call it “Foundation for the Dimwitted.”
You misspelled “moran”.
The fail is that they haven’t watered the plant in the bottom right of the photo properly.
It is not a plant, those are tentacles. The tattooed guy better run for his live!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Lovecraft strikes again!
…eerily ! How many times do I have to tell you, Mikey?
I keep losing my mind at the incomprehensible horror of it all. (And I’m stupid)
*hangs head in shame*
Tentacle rape in 3, 2, 1…
I would, but I don’t know how to rape a tentacle.
That guy is stoned.
I see the fail… that guy has a farmer’s tan. Good one!
Foundation for the Retarded of the Desert renames itself DesertArc
By STEVE MOORE
The Press-Enterprise
PALM DESERT – For nearly a half-century, the organization called itself the Foundation for the Retarded of the Desert.
When the nonprofit started in 1959, the word “retarded” was a widely used clinical term. But over the decades, the word became stigmatized with cruel jokes by comedians and actors and schoolyard taunts.
On Tuesday, the organization serving the developmentally disabled got an entirely new name: DesertArc.
Story continues below
Rodrigo Peña / The Press-Enterprise
Staff members and clients of the DesertArc in Palm Desert work in the embroidery room. The board of the agency, which serves the developmentally disabled, decided unanimously to change its name.
The agency, started by a small group of parents, now provides vocational, rehabilitation, recreational and other services for more than 740 clients.
After a news conference, executive director Richard Balocco said, “It’s really for them (the clients). A name is a name, but they had a name they found offensive.
“And they couldn’t understand why we couldn’t move faster to remove it because they felt it labeled them,” he said.
For several years, the agency has wanted to change its name.
About two dozen names were considered before the agency’s board unanimously chose DesertArc. Focus groups and other research were used.
S
very informative. sooooooo……… basicallly its another damn group worried or hassled to become politically correct in the naming and usage of a company name……man where have the days gone when you could slap a co-worker on the butt, give a friendly pinch, get laid in the copier room without worrying about sexual harrasement? I miss those days.
In the land of wet benches after rain and potato-ed vicars, they’ve renamed one of the schools a ‘place for learning’ in case some of the parents find the term ’school’ offensive! It genuinely saddened me.
LOL – my 9-year-old is studying the French and Indian War. Instead of the French Army, they refer to it as the French “team.” WTF.
Wanna hear something funnier? I have been referred to as an “original american”, not Indian, not Native.
That’s to distinguish you from the Trite/Hackneyed Americans. They’re mostly found in central Oklahoma.
You little lady are a class a mess, you make me giggle.
I’ve heard the term ‘first nation’, used in Canada, to describe people who were here on the continent before we (Europeans, etc.) got here. Obviously, they are talking about the descendents of both the natives and the immigrants.
What do you want to be called? First National? Original American? (Sorry, that’s dumb.)
They failed to mention there is another group already using the same name. But that group has also changed the name. It is now Iraqi Army.
Kudo’s on the Gator game last night. Thought about ya on each touchdown.
Touchdown Touchdown Touchdown there! Don’t touch Don’t touch Where Where Where?
You can You can touch me touch me ANYWHERE!
Just an FYI since it relates to that game, there is no such thing as a national champion in college football division 1-A. Florida won a bowl game to end their season, just like over 30 other schools. Unless there is a playoff, there is no greater meaning than simply a bowl victory.
It was the BCS championship game, so a little more then just
another Bowl game.
too… much… text… i’m one of the retarded of the desert. my simple brain cant handle it…
the crazy thing is that the Arc part of DesertArc is an acronym. Guess what the ‘r’ stands for? (‘a’ is for association, ‘c’ is for citizen)
A = Association (for)
R = Renamed
C = Citizens
A = Association (for)
R = Resurrected
C = Citizens
Zombies live here. They eat all the people’s brains. . .
Arent you neglecting your stalking responsibilities? She might get away while you are commenting on Failblog.

They changed the sign, but the rock’s still there.
This guy is stuck between a rock and a ‘tard place.
Hahahahahahaha. Genius.
Ohhhhhhh…Brilliant!
Bravo! Bravo!
*Tips hat.*
*stamps WIN on KIMIMOFO’s forehead*
*KIMIMOFO wonders what the hell they are doing getting stamped. Meanwhile KIWIMOFO wonders why he doesnt get a WIN stamp for his first comment on Failblog
*KIMIMOFO wonders why they got stamped. Meanwhile KIWIMOFO watches with great jealousy as KIMIMOFO recieves a stamp for nothing, while his first post to Failblog goes unrewarded… *
Forehead Stamping FAIL
win
I think this is part of their adult day care program.
“We’ll play hide and seek today boys and gals. Go squat near a rock then we’ll come find you after we drink our coffee”
I don’t get it. That man is in exactly the facility he needs to be in.
His defiant hand gestures indicate that he needs more medication, however.
ask yer ma, she would know about the right medications, etc huwaahhhh!
More PC BS. This isn’t a fail just because a foundation used the word “retarded”. Sticks and stones…
Wait, isn’t this next door to the Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Want to do Other Things Good Too?
Amazing… hahahaha.
Their original name was “Church of the Morons of Salt Lake”.
Your foundation belongs to the retard with tattoos
The retard with tattoo’s like a douche
Well said.
HAHAHAHAHAHA NO WAY
Too bad I don’t know any retards of the desert
is this the new george w bush presidential library?
looks like he just got outta this place’s inpatient service
I’d love to see the gift shop. Shelves lined with glass vials and vases of that layered colored sand crap you make at the carnival when you’re 8…except all the sand is beige.
I get it, the rock is the foundation because foundations are made out of rock.
Sorry, but what is funny about laughing at retarded people?
Go watch Tropic Thunder, it’s your kind of movie!
Fail. SOI SOI SOI SOI.
Why are you commenting on your own comments with a different name…?
Well, the guy isn’t out-of-plce there. He’ll fit right in
i know this guy. he’s pretty awesome. this picture is on his myspace.
political correctness doesn’t flow towards the desert?
Which is the bigger fail: the retard foundation or the tattooed douche flashing a hand signal?
Its funny because I know this guy.
He is an amazing poet, and a talented comedian.
Whoever posted this failed, for Buzz is the shit.
hes the representation for the retardeds
he is the representation for the retarded
Looks like Adam Savage from Mythbusters.
*cough*Next episode? Or is he just taking a ‘normal’ day trip (for him).
Yay! I get to see my hometown take a Fail!
Its the Rock of Ages….lol
wtf does that rly say retarded?
It’s funny because i know and love this guy. One of the most awesome people i know, in fact.
oh, and by the way, why are so many people making a big fuss about this picture? i know this guy and i will be the first to say that he didn’t intend to stab anyone in any way. he saw a random looking thing, and was inspired…..that’s all.
This man is actually my former Youth pastor and hes a great guy. You people that are calling him a douche can eff off. He purposely took a picture with that sign because he thought it was funny. He is actually also a comedian by the name of Buzzy Ennis. Look him up if you don’t believe me.
Wow. Just wow.

OMG! Isn’t that Jamie from Mythbusters?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I meant adam.
The sign doesn’t lie.
DUDE! I live by there! No way!
This guy is literally my hero.
Thug Life!!!
Sure, the foundation fails, but that dude fails even more.
AMEN. RETARDED 4 SURE
that guy looks strangely like adam savage from mythbusters
I didn’t understand that sign when I saw it either. I think it is somewhere around the painted desert or grand cayon area.
