I can’t see it, what does it say?
Just some dots, nothing to worry about.
It says “You Fail”
On the chest of a barmaid in Sale
Were tattooed the prices of ale
And on her behind
For the sake of the blind
Was the same information in Braille
What happens with price changes? tattoos are kind of a long-term item eh? FAIL!
by the way, this is only a fail because the question wasn’t in Braille. How could a blind person read that!?
It’s a fail whether it’s in Braille or not. Blind people cannot read computer screens.
Maybe in the future they will invent a method to convert light into tangible matter.
Kudos on the rhyme though.
Like a lightsaber.
Shouldn’t touch that.
Hahaha, you’re all stupid. Braille displays have existed for many years. They are expensive, but allow blind people to read the web. Idiots.
Right. There are programs that literally read web text out loud to the visual impaired. But I believe that these programs usually don’t vocalize periods. Therefore it may still be a fail.
Well done. Education is the first step to WIN.
WIN = Nirvana?
you, however, are well on ur way to FAIL
Hardly, since the poster used asterisks, not periods
Also, any decent reader program would read them anyway.
Knowledge fail. Assistive technology (JAWS, etc.) has allowed blind users to be on the web for years. In fact they love it because it’s one of the few areas of life where you can’t tell if someone is handicapped or not.
Shut up. You’re missing the point, here. Even if a blind person were to use assistive technology, this fail would read (at best!): “Dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot.”
no way
thanx cpt obvius
Ever heard of a screenreader, moron?
Actually blind people use screen readers when using he computer.
Blind people have screen readers.
FAIL.
faille
Um….it was a fail because you have to be able to FEEL Braille to READ Braille. YOU FAIL!
text recognition software
it’s a very old ryme doesn’t need to make sense
noo thats your moms name in blindengelare encryption
FAKE!
BRAILLE FAILLE!
Dudes, its called text-to-speech, almost any blind school or program gives you a copy of that type of software so yeah the blind people will be able to read it.
As stated by many people, that is not braille. All anyone will hear with text-to-speech is Asterisk… However, there are a few braille fonts.
Fabulous comment!
The transcript would be:
star..star..star..New Line..star..New Line..star..New Line..star..star..
Of course blind people would be perfectly able to translate that (Caution: Irony included).
No matter what sophisticated Braille-Interface or Text-To-Speech Program you use: Three stars above one star, above one star, above two stars…. is not legible. Not even if you actually see the screen.
The Poster was unaware of collapsing blanks when he entered the dots. Now it does not mean anything anymore.
Last!!
What you can see here is now a rare life example of a troll. Since Boggy has stepped on the scene, we have noticed a sudden decline in the number of troll species. The decline has become so drastic, that we have decided to petition the UN to aknowledge the troll species as endangered species, in fact near-extinct. Please support us in our effort, so that future generations will still be able to see trolls in their live environment.
Protect the Trolls!
chairman of P.E.T.A. (Protect Endangered Trolls Asociation)
First!!!!
(to PETA reply)
The efforts are proving successful!
Indeed.
We can assure you, that our efforts will have the desired effect – to preserve a small, yet controlable number of trolls, kept in troll reserves.
Furthermore, we would like to assure everyone that there is no fear of possible overpopulation caused by out movement. And we should know, we hired the same analysts for our predictions, that were used by the Bush administration to evaluate the war in Iraq in 2003.
Ah, very good. So you are quite sure you haven’t misunderestimated them, then.
Yes, yes … positively sure. There’s absolutely nothing to worry about. The gypsy woman across the street assured me, that our analysts will be perfectly reliable.
Second!!!
(to PETA reply)
Do you think he wants to know for his future career as a seeing-eye dog?
He can help people drive from the side-board. Careful not to open the driver’s door!
damn it
It says…….

you mean: ….. .. .. .. … .. ….. .. . …. .. .?
you misspelled …. .. .. …. .

First?
No, youflop.
yes, you flop
What?
Meh… I’m sure they use a reader program.
That’s a great way for a blind person to spend their day, answering questions on yahoo about what braille reads.
…. it says… shutters and drapes also make good window coverings…
Carpets match the drapes in texture?
Don’t forget to invite the vicar is you’re hanging drapes! And have a few potatoes handy
As a special treat for the vicar, you can collect the Oedipus potato from a few fails back.
In color and in length
Mmmmm… message makes no sense… it is only hard breathing. I think that this is a Braille phonetic transcription of a sex phone conversation.
Then it’s a shame there are no exclamation points.
Yes, phonetic transcriptions are that cold. Anyways, here you have the “rosetta stone” for that piece of conversation:
*: pant
**: moan
***: gasp
You are so talented. Do you also read lips?
I write on them.
Ah, I see… with your special pen with the invisible ink?
I thought the ink was white…?
It dries clear.
I’m sure you could see it with a blacklight.
jeez it almost sounds like you guys are… *gasp*
you guys have filthy minds!!
Last
agast
It says papar
Hows everyone finding Barack Obama btw?
He was behind the potted plant.
Damn, the one place I didn’t look!
Ah well, at least I found Jesus.
Turns out he was in the couch cushions.
Jesus has a much smaller retinue.
Figured Obama would be in with the change eh? *hangs self for not resisting bad joke*
I found God. On the corner of 1st and Amistad.
(Hangs self with chez)
I thought ‘all hanging together’ was just a turn of phrase.
.
Sorry, not a joiner – good luck with that.
Specially trained Obama-sniffing dogs.
I hope they’re hypoallergenic!
shh.. its part of the secret window coverings guild code… no one must ever know what it says!
Come on, this was obviously fabricated by the author of the FAIL image. Look at the submission time of that question: 49 mins (?!)
Yep, and it’s not even funny.
I don’t understand the supposed significance of the submission time.
The universe only came into being 48 minutes ago, anything claiming to be from before then is obviously false.
(I don’t understand either)
Moomin, are you a creationist?
I don’t think so? Disenchanted with reality, I tend to create my own. I’m often proved wrong though.
You’ve just described one to Me.
Would you describe me to the One?
Me, looks a lot like jam. I don’t know if One is listening though.
I am listening. Woah.
Mr Anderson, you disappoint me.
So you saw the sequels then?
I’ve seen them all. Like many things in my life, it didn’t make much sense.
buttocks
buttocks make sense.
In bed =)
No time! I’m late, I’m late, I’m late!
follow the rabbit!
You’re late?! Is it mine?!
This sounds really odd, but which ‘Me’ did I describe it to?
Both.
Creationists clip their nosehair?
If it’s not against their theist rules they might do. It depends if they need a trim or not.
I’ve never clipped my nosehair so I might be a creationist then?
Well you did say you make your own reality and are often proved wrong.
I must be one too then! *alarm bells sound*
Damn these name changes!
Heeheehee. I know what you mean.
Well, if you’re one too it can’t be that bad.
I’ve just never thought of myself as anything in particular.
Particularly funny I’d say.
*squeeze*
We just have a good ensemble cast with us Arthur
I’d like to believe but I’m a realist and that science stuff gets in the way.
Arthur is right though. Funny in a ‘distracting me from work’ way.
Way too much usage of ‘way’.
*squeeze*
Yep.
jam, science is not telling you there’s no god. It’s possible. Therefore I’m agnostic. I’ll wait until I’m dead, then I’ll see. Or not.
I don’t see science and religion as being mutually exclusive either. It’s a big universe, anything could be happening. Maybe we’ll find out, maybe we won’t. Until then, we can have a laugh together.
I know it’s possible, it just seems unlikely. That would make me agnostic with a lean towards science.
Mikey, we will find out. Death first, answers follow.
That’s a bit extreme don’t you think? Just wait a while. Have a laugh like the Moomin said.
I can wait, don’t worry, I’m a patient man. And I totally agree with the moomin.
Let’s have a laugh and play hide and seek. . .
I love hide and seek!
Is there a limit to how many wormholes you can use? Who’s it first?
We’ve hidden, it’s like sardines. Find the secret thread. Last one there loses!
Is everyone still hiding?
I missed the game, did some work instead. I wish I’d stayed.
I’m thinking they are more lost than hidden. Everyone vanished.
Ta-daa!
Me too.
But I finished the thing I was doing! Yay!
Now have eyes like a horrid albino rabbit from working at
my laptop for loo long, too late.
*tries to think of appropriate emoticon*
*can’t*
As if by magic, the Arthur Eld appeared.
They’ll show up when they’re hungry.
I’m beginning to think you were all hidden behind jam?
Rank my typing. I’m always last!
I’m big but I’m not that big!
Good luck at the doctors, hope it goes alright with the ankle.
But you could jam them in. . .
*jazz hands*
Bye Arthur. Have an apple, that’ll keep him away.
In where for God’s sake?
Damn, we’re trying to put that topic to rest!
I hadn’t actually thought that through, I just went with the joke without thinking of the consequences.
I don’t think I’d like your answer much if you had thought of one.
Ummm. Life is like a doughnut, it’s better with jam in?
*sneaks off*
Damn these name changes!
Thanks dear.
Here, I’ve washed your shirts for you. You can do your own bloody ironing!
Thankyou my dearest.
Hmmmm.
Would you say that sandwich toasters are essentially miniature trouser presses?
*one long burning smell later*
I appear to have crinkle cut trousers, novel.
I’d say you gave it a go and found the answer out already.
Crinkle cut is a new Moomin fashion statement. It looks good on you.
Could be worse, I’d never keep my balance on crinkle-cut legs.

Ooh, haven’t been there this morning. Thankyou kindly for the reminder.
Too much. Can’t take it.
Oh god… this is it. My brain is melting as I type, I can feel it. Soon there will be nothing left.
It’s… happennin, nao,
i nuuuuuu!!111122!!!
heelp mehhhh…
FIRST.
Get the anti-Troll Gun!
That made me laugh. Can’t hold snopake steadily now.
At first I thought you said Spokane instead of snopake.
what website is it?
Fail Braille..
That’s not necessarily a fail, given that there are “braille-screens”. That’s probably a moot point though, because the series of dots listed seems to mean, well, nothing, unless you flip it 90 degress in which case it means, well, nothing much either. “Laabaaaba” or “Vabaaaba” is what I can make out.
Yada yada?
You really need to watch something other than Seinfeld for a change.
Why?
You know what I am watching lately. It is a NC-17 interactive show with no script and a lot of surprises.
Be careful of that that show – it gave me tendinitis.
It’s because blind people have to feel the dots to understand what it means.
Yeah, I’m just not feeling the dots. They’re making a valiant effort, but I’m just not feeling it.
Those dots have changed, man. They used to be cool.
They sure can polka though.
*snork!*
They use to be about the music!
If only funnyboi was here to explain the fail
*SQUEEZE*
Good morning mr. cuddles!
*Squeeze*
How are you this Monday?
Good morning Mikey!
Best Monday I’ve had in a long time. How are you this Monday, my favorite moomin?
Hi cuddles! You’re looking fine today! *squeezes for everybody*
*SQUEEZE* Good morning gorgeous!
How are you today?
I’m better now that I’ve seen all my peeps!
*ahem*
*GASPS* RYANNON! *SQUEEZE* I’ve missed you!
*squeezes back* Hi sweetness. I am about to embark upon my 6th trip this year to Florida on Wednesday.
Let me in on this lovin please!
*squeeze*
*SQUEEZE*
You’ll be just in time for the shuttle launch!
Baby girl!!!!! OK, my joy is now complete!
Good morning poppin!
Glad to hear it.
I’m in a near constant state of confusion this morning, I really don’t know what is happening. It’s sunny out at the moment though, and I have a nice lunch.
What’s brightened your day so?
I got to work nice and early this morning. Packed my breakfast and lunch along with gym clothes to work out during lunch. And it’s the first Monday in a while where I’m wide awake at work.
Why are you confused?
I’ve found out that I might be a creationist, and I really don’t understand what is happening in the office. I have lots of pieces of paper to shuffle around my desk though. Yay?
Sounds like you’ve got a good day! Hurrah!
The fail is that he put the space before the comma, instead of after it!
Hahahaha.
Could someone link me to whereever that is from?
^CLICKIE!^
Egad! It’s not pie! D:
. . .then I am a pancake.
:0 That’s not okay.
^Emoticon malfunction^

GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER
yes yes.. making fun of disabled people… this is the worst
Oh, silly me thinking that the worst was eating children.
Not sacrificing them to Baal?
Don’t worry, I am over 21.
The Dutch word ‘worst’ means ’sausage’. So I was a little disturbed by your comment.
Hahahahahahaha.
But do you know why Helen Keller was a bad driver?
I’ll bite. Why was Helen Keller a bad driver?
She’s a woman!
I can’t disagree with that premise. I bang the shit out of all my cars. And I put on makeup while I drive.
As long as you don’t shave your legs on the dash.
Even I’ve never gone that far, and I’m an awful driver. I did see a guy biting his toenails at a red light, once.
You’ll have to excuse me. My breakfast is making a reappearance…
We had a guy that used to clip his toenails in company meetings and then we were expected to eat lunch at the tables we just met at. Does great for a diet.
Blech… I hear people around my office clipping their nails. That’s odd enough for me. :/ Most women are fine drivers, so

“This is the best thing since I learned to speak Braille.”
“Hey, bump, bump, no bump, three vertical bumps, four bumps in a square.”
“Ha ha ha, yeah, I’ve heard they all look alike.”
Hey deaf people, have you heard the new U2 album?
What? Can you rattle and hum a few bars?
Wouldn’t you prefer a little Ach-tongue, baby?
Looks like the person tries reading the letters PPR :
.. .. .
. . ..
. . .
like a quick search shows : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille
It’s too early for learning :/
*yawns*
Really, do I know him?
It says “MY NAME IS BOXXY”
It says “Yo momma’s so fat that when she goes to the movies, see sits next to everyone”
It says “Yo mama’s so ugly they had to cancel her Tiajuana show ‘cuz the donkey ran away when he saw her”
FIRST
i love u
What else do you expect from the cesspit of stupidity that is Yahoo Answers?
steven hawking asking how the human race can survive the next hundred years
Well… Since Braille is 3 rows and 2 columns, not 3 columns, it doesn’t say anything, but if we turn it then…
v”-”‘
I think it says the person asking the question is an artard.
you misspelled r-tard
I dunno – maybe it reads “RETARDED AS HELL”?!
using software for blind people its says: “3 Stars, 1 Star, 1 Star….” xD
Its just a bunch of bumps not a word we blind people can understand, who ever told you it was a sentence lied. I can’t see any words in it. Now how did I get on a computer.
Wow. They even fail at braille. The only time 3 “dots” are together are on the letter “L”, but they are vertical. Let’s just say the first one is an “L”, then all you get is the word “laataaate” which is not a word at all.
http://www.theinterpretersfriend.com/pd/ws/db/braille-abc.jpg
Unless someones screaming about their coffee. Laaaaaaaaaaaaattttteeeeeee
Hey, I found something out; I tried to find this question on Yahoo answers to see the witty replies that were added and I found out that this guy actually deleted his profile after this was posted to the FailBlog XD
Do you think thats because he realised all the cool kids hang at FailBlog not Yahoo? lol
Actually it is
L . . ; . . . ; .
(http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brailleschrift)
what a loser…
lol@fail
Somebody has too much time on their hands.
It says EAT-ME! In that slim-jim sort of way.
There should be a blog dedicated to stupid questions on yahoo answers
yahoo answer fails are just dumb. so fake…
Maybe it’s Morse code? Two asterisks can mean “dash”?
MAGNA fail
I actually found two different instances on yahoo answers other than this one asking blind people if they could read braille. what kind of society do we live in today?
I cant read this, i have flat screen
YOU ALL FAIL for even getting into a discussion on this picture at all and furthermore debating about it. Just look at the pic, and laugh….that is all.
And if you dont get the pic you fail twice…..that is all.
*points to the “Report Abuse” Button* WIN
So ridic funny!
this guys a douche
dis r actually a WIN, keke? keke.
49 minutes huh? is that how long it took you to setup your hypercam?
you failed at trying to lie to people…
** |* | *|*
* | |* |*
| | |*
Sorry, I fail at typing Braille.
maybe the person was drunk when he asked the question? or maybe even trying to be funny?
it says “you are an idiot”
you see, I can read Braille 
Even more entertaining are the braille keypads at the bank located at the drive up windows!
Screen reader, anyone?
too funny
Smart guy…
it doesn’t SAY anything. Braille cells are always two across and three down. So Three dots next to each other does not exist.
This person fails twice.
You’re right. I’m a vision specialist/teacher. It doesn’t say anything–not even using a screen reader fro the blind.
That was great!
it says LAA2AAA2A
I’ve seen some stupid and even downright mean questions on Yahoo answers before being a long time poster on the site but this takes the cake. I hope they banned that jerk.
omg genious…I cried from laughing…lol win
Does it say “I am thick”?
this is so perfecly evil!!! I love it! >:)
)
Corn
lol fail
thats the secret language of the blind people. Its the secret message about taking over the world. The only way to stop them, is to take out all the money you have into nickles and move to arizona. They can’t find you there.
Is this ment to be mocking?
This WHOLE message board is a FAIL
Umm…wow.. this is a major fail… first a blind person would not be on the computer, second you need to feel braille.. and third even if they were on a computer why would they look that up?! WOW!
