Ahhhh, the new high-tech musical douches – the rage of my particular neighborhood!
Of Course… Ya Gotta Love Those Musical Douches.
Who Wouldn’t?
DOUCHEBAG ALERT! but thats a womans job too
Douche is a derogatory nickname in this case, therefore it is one of the few cases in French where an article isn’t required. Same as saying “And you, John,” you wouldn’t say “And you a John.” If you were intending to make it “And you are a douche” which wasn’t the intention of the original poster, obviously, then even you are wrong, because it would be “Et tu es un douche.” However, the term in French means “shower,” were we to be overly literal,
DOUCHEBAG
Ultra Douché?
hyper propre
Il douche.
damn that garment tag is so fuckin racist!
it’s not racist, it’s sexist. and chauvinistic. wives can come from different races you know
Elle douche? Nous douchons? Ils douchent?
Very troubling.
In Soviet Russia
In Soviet Russia sentecnce finishes you!
In Soviet Russia the wife gives laundry to you.
No, in Soviet Russia, laundry gives you to wife.
Better than wife giving you to laundry.
in Soviet Russia laundry gives it to your wife…. and she likes it! [:
in soviet russia we have sex with raccoons
love those Russian jokes. =p
In Soviet Russia, you are joke.
In Soviet Russia, there are no jokes. Everything in Soviet Russia is funny.
in Soviet Russia, funny is everything in Soviet Russia!
There is no word for fun in Russa.
In Soviet Russia, the jokes are you!
Your posting rights have been removed “Flying Dad Bomb”.
In soviet russia people on failblog are smart
no!!! THAT permutation is
In Soviet Russia, joke makes YOU!!!!
Thanks guys!
I am really proud of you, and your sense of humor!
PS I’m from Russia and actually was born in USSR
you wouldn’t do laundry for a loved one?
Ah because sexism is so creative. Women do laundry! Hilarious. Grow up, Fail. This one SUCKS.
I like when my hubbie “give it to me” (but not laundry). heheheh
.;..while wearing body armor.
Yo, velvet, did you wash my body armor, yet?
Sure. Come right on over and get it. No problem
hmm … maybe I should go commando
I recommend it.
I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone. . .
Wait…are you a raccoon??
No, he’s a hamster. He’ll store it in his cheeks.
I just never subscribed to the “more than a mouthful is a waste” theory.
*knows that’s a song lyric, can’t think of the name*
Alanis Morrisette.
Song: You Learn
Song: You Learn
And it’s more thAn you can chew.
I hate her she has a mans voice
Jagged Little Pill
“You Learn” is the song. And this lol is such an epic fail.
I certainly certainly do…

Government employment stimulus program — you’re doing it wrong.
But she’s doing it oh so right
Oh boy. . . government stimulus = barefoot and pregnant in the laundry room?
nuff said..
I only do laundry when I’m shitdrunk lol
Sorry, the label shows the moonshine bottle X’d out for this fabric.
Isn’t this what washing machines are meant to do?
Yes, wives are supposed to do laundry
What a coikeedink–I just happen to be shitdrunk AND doing laundry!
I haven’t got a wife.
S’ok, as long as you have a raspberry beret, you don’t need much more.
Prince is forever going to haunt me. I can tell these things.
Inside is the new out.
It doesn’t say that on the label.
She washed inside though she out wore, out wore.

You’ve even resorted to giving me the link? :-O
I didn’t think I was that bad.
*checks*
Yep. I’m afraid so.
So I don’t know Prince, meh! *shrugs*
On the plus side, I learned some cryptonian.
Not very Princely myself, to be honest.
Although I did admire his phallic guitar at the Super Bowl.
you can order them from Russia
it’s expensive for a hot one though
and you pay shipping and handling
Well, I was overpaid this month!
Hmmm….
I’d settle for a Medium Hot one, really.
It’s rare you get a medium one, so cold they’re blue most of the time, but if you get a hot one, well done…
Me neither.
I feel cheated.
We divorced remember, you went off with Arthur’s nose!
If we’re divorced, why did I wash your shirts?
Because you want to get back together?
*looks hopeful*
And you don’t want to know what happened to the laundry you did. . .
I think I smell burning.
I promise not to run off with Arthur’s nose again if you have me back.
I smell sandwiches (http://failblog.org/2009/03/09/braille-fail-2/#comment-316120)

I’ll get my just desserts for that, am sure.

Failblog is trying to keep us apart!
what is going on?!!? Where is my top-hatted friend?? I’m so confused, going home now.
At the moment, my reply is lurking at the bottom my tophatted compadre!
Maybe FailBlog is objecting to the many conversations we have going. None of which seem to make any sense.
None of my conversations make sense in failblog or otherwise.
Watch out – repeated conversation on this site may lead to other things…
And that other things may lead to tendinitis.
I’d splint that injury for you, but I’m afraid to cut off the circulation to that party of the body.
*part* (good F.S., that)
Our conversations are for inflammation purposes only.
He’s swollen enough already, believe me. I prescribe time in bed with a hot, wet compress.
Stop it! You’re turning me on.
A dose of penis’illin will sort it out.
Mookie, you spelled “mistress” wrong.
You’re lucky that I’m a better nurse than I am a speller.
Is it normal that my head feels dizzy after your treatments?
I’m dizzy too… what exactly was in that blue bottle?
Full cycle at 50°C. (sorry to intrude)
What’s going on in here?
.
Oh *shuts door*
Then you don’t need to wear clean clothes
Hmmm…. you can give me your dirty laundry, or you can give me something else, honey. I won’t be doing both. Your choice.
Hmmm…
*flips a coin*
Don’t be flippant.
*pantflips*
I’ll give you lots of something else.
Do my laundry. I can get laid at any bar I want.
Like colors are my favourite colors
Like like are my like favorite like of likes

NOT WIN!!!!
…to thwack you about the head and neck with it.
Okay I want a shirt with that tag on it, please to be telling me where I might purchase?
Victoria’s Secret.
Shhhhhhhh – it’s a secret…
Oh yes, that reference never gets old…… sheesh
this is an old one…seen it before 100 times
It’s just a faded memory.
They should have used color-safe detergent. tisk, tisk, tisk.
A load off his mind?
Sounds like a fail to me. :/
It’s only a fail to you because you have never had your husband epicly fail doing laundry.
Avoidance of bleach is how one wins at laundry!
i conquer. the only time my husband did the laundry, he managed to mess up some new white towels, and a “delicate” pullover of mine. let them do the disgusting work, like taking out the trash, or cleaning the toilet
No no no! That’s what children are for.
hmm… not bad… i can smell your experience
Oh no no no no! I’ve just done a lot of reading on the subject.
What did you conquer?
His conkers.
Oops… her! ^
She who conquers the “only time” is transcendent. Wish I could do that.
Hey, medica…long time no see! Glad to see you back in these parts.
ty <3
What have you conquered?
he did that on purpose so he would have to do the laundry. I did that with my
GF’s whites and she had a pair of red socks…. havent had to do laundry since whites+red socks= no more laundry for me. oh man i hope she dont see this
you should have married a grown-up. it’s a fail, agreed with hisa.
That’s FAIL, not a win.
JHC, when will misogyny stop being funny?

Amen! It’s not funny. I want to contact the company and tell them just how not funny that is.
I recommend a personal appearance at corporate headquarters.
Please call in advance.
Agreed, 100%….
sites like this are frequented by insecure little boys. maybe when their balls drop they’ll stop acting like the wimminz are so scary and maybe even get a date.
Sounds like “OLOLOL SEXISM IS TEH FUNNAY” to me.
I can do the laundry actually, although I am male. Z0MG!
Oh, and of course “your wife” can do more than cook, do the laundry and give birth to Mini-Yous. Really. She’s even better than you at some things OTHER than cooking and cleaning. Get over it.
BLASPHEMOUS
You obviously have never met my wife.
Thank you for that. This is really a pathetic picture.

Have your wife wash it out.
Hmmmm that’s not going to work for several reasons.
She doesn’t have any thumbs does she?
No sir…she also has a wicked temper.
No thumbs and a temper that not even a horse tranquilizer can quiet?

Oh a horse tranquilizer is quiet wonderful. I take two and go into my happy place.

Can this woman get any hotter?! Reid drops another killer mix just in time for the cool weather booty electro dancing season. (What you didn’t know Novemember was Booty Electro season!)
Don’t let this one slip through your fingers.
Download
I have known Reid since the 90’s but since some people might not be familiar . Check below the fold for what Wikipedia has to say about her as well as the tracklisting.
When Reid Speed began spinning records in 1996, she first generated curiosity as one of few female DJs at the time. However, she quickly earned respect for her talent in the highly competitive NYC scene. By the summer of 1997 she was working with rave promoters, Stuck on Earth Promotions and the following year as a member of the Direct Drive crew. At these events she cut her teeth playing alongside the top names in the genre.
1998 found Reid working at DJ Dara’s Breakbeat Science, the first record store in the United States to specialize in drum & bass records. Capitalizing on their large and widespread customer base, her demos soon spread, which led to touring in the United States, Puerto Rico, Ireland, Canada, and Mexico. A 1998 visit to England sparked an interest in UK garage which inspired her to promote her own events.
The 2001 release of her debut mix CD, Resonance, yielded the singles “Mr Fix It” with Ming & FS, and “Picture This” with DJ Seen. In support of the release, a 40-date tour sponsored by Mixer magazine introduced her sound to an even wider audience. 2005 saw collaborations with MC Dino and DJ Swamp on a full length album. In March 2006, her remix of Disorder’s “Deadline” was released on Acumen Records.
She is now based in Los Angeles, California, where she manages Break Down, an event showcasing UK garage and Nu skool breaks.

This is despicable and extremely offensive. It is degrading towards women and assumes that being a “wife” implies subservience instead of an equal, loving relationship. Fail Blog, this is a FAIL.
There are some people out there that might say that places like failblog are for the thick skinned. Try not to be so serious? You’ll appreciate this page more.
I’m Brian’s wife and I’m not offended.
Congratulations! I never knewwwwwwwww! Does he force you to do his laundry?
or is it the other way around?
*ponders*
That’s because compared to the everyday stupidity you have to put up with from me, this ignorance is light relief
You’re good people Brian!
*stands back and admires the delightful and remarkably heart warming conversation*
Hey, just because SOME women aren’t offended, doesn’t mean that others aren’t.
Brian’s wife does not speak for all women.
Do we look to one dude to speak on behalf of all men? No. So it’s ridiculous to assume that one woman speaks for ALL women.
Failblog posts fails. Isaac you said this is a fail. That is why Failblog has posted it.
Loser.
But…it said win. And it was a fail. It makes no sense, duh.
Thanks for harshing my buzz Isaac…
you have to try to see things from a wider perspective: im a wife, and i don’t care about doing all the laundry! But my husband does other chores, like cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming, etc. so it’s really fair
it just wouldn’t be efficient do each do our laundry separately.
I agree with that. That was my thought. I was a little shocked that it said,
“WIN” above it, not that it was on failblog in the first place.
like hell it’s her job… this is not a win… it’s a societal epic fail
lesbian

Misogynist.
Pretty much.
Are you the real grannycatflap?
He is much more. Shall we say many?
If you like.
many.

Hmm…

That wasn’t as good as I imagined.
Can’t stop laughing. That tickled me.

How did the doctor’s go?
Well, I have the letters U C F K. Arrange them as you like…
KFUC? Ooooh, that’s not good.
The ankle worse than originally suspected?
Dunno for sure, MRI will give the answer. But it’s likely. It has the potential to ruin sports for me FOR A YEAR. Woohoo.
Bloody hell, that’s a bastard. I really hope that’s not the case. When do you get the MRI to find out for sure? *careful ankle squeeze*
*gives Arthur a big bouquet of flowers, a box of his favo(u)rite cookies, and a bundle of balloons*
Thanks, I hope so too. MRI is on the 16th and a day later I’ll see the doctor again. Did I mention that I had only 3 month of being able to play football after a break of seven months?
Thanks Dragon!
No, you hadn’t that I remember. It’s not a reccurring ankle injury is it? I’ll have my fingers crossed for a good result on the 16th.
No, it wasn’t. Thank you.
errr… isn’t.
Oh cool, all you have to do to get on this site now is use photoshop. Or, type FAIL on ANY FUCKING PICTURE WHATSOEVER AND POST IT. This site fucking blows, no standards anymore.
Wow, when it did blow standards, I was standardly standardized and placated. Those were the days.
Not to mention that we don’t need no steenking standards.
Why don’t you tell us how you REALLY feel?
Does he really feel? That is my question.
Jack, Jack…
*hands Jack a Prozac*
Ack – get back!!
>>WHACK!!<<
No, not a ‘Shop. Very much real. The pic most likely came from the Stupid Product Label site:
http://stupidwarningssite.com/
VERIFICATION FAIL … go to the site you linked, scroll down, and you’ll see two pictures of the same tag, but one says “GIVE IT TO YOUR WIFE” and the other one says “GIVE IT TO YOUR MOM” … the pictures (other than the fact that one’s a bit blurrier than the other) are otherwise identical. Definitely a photoshop!
Photoshopped indeed, but so what. It’s not like the failblog is touting itself as a news site. Sometimes their funny. This one, IMHO, was kinda meh….
People who complain this is sexist… It’s absolutely hilarious. Get over it.
Stereotypes are made to be laughed at.
Amen!
go michelle!
I get you on that, I just think it would be funnier as a FAIL.
Right. It WAS funny, but to say it’s win, and therefore OK, is just kinda rude, in my mind. It was sexist, and I kinda wish it hadn’t gotten around the moderators, if there are any.
“Stereotypes are made to be laughed at.”
`
You could test that theory by going to Harlem and making jokes about picking cotton. Let us know how that works out.
B-U-Z-Z-K-I-L-L
Exactly.
It would have been funny if it had been posted as a FAIL.
Posted as a win, we’re not laughing AT the stereotype, we’re laughing WITH people who agree with the stereotype.
Yeah, you’d get your ass kicked, but that would have no bearing on whether or not the jokes were funny.
lol yeah, especially sexist ones, because women don’t matter.
it’s just cause they’re not people…
Suprastandard expectations on [i]that[/i] initiative.
I’ll be the judge of that.
Thanks for the reminder, 2th.
The blog & I simultaneously failed on each other;
the comment would possibly have made sense if nested.
Just great for the international women’s day!
stupid and lame. sad thing is my bf would find it hilarious.
-_-
How dare he! You should dump him.
Better yet kill him and dump his body in the washer.
Sounds like you need a better bf.
My bf does the laundry in exchange for me doing the dishes. It’s a great system.
I do my GF and she does me back – we cut out the middle man
Sounds like a give and take.
Sexism fail!
You know, it’s sexist comments like these that make me sick. I can’t believe that in today’s world, people can get away with making comments like this. Haha, nah I’m just kidding. This was pretty damn funny.
TL;DR
WIN
I’m a woman. I laughed. Not offended, not degraded. I like housework.
The feminists can just can it, IMO
If it weren’t for feminists you probably wouldn’t be allowed on the internet.
You like housework, that doesn’t make it your JOB as a wife.
It’s degrading to think of it as a wifes job.
Yeah, god, what jerks for wanting women to be considered equals. Good thing you can’t be bothered to care about being respected! Good for you!
LOL Agreed. I’m a woman too. I wish people could take life less seriously and do things like matter instead of complaining about a stupid and funny shirt.
LOL It should be things that matter XD
Damn sleep deprivation. D:
And come on people get over it and do something more than complain. Go help battered women, educate your children…something real.
being born a woman doesn’t automatically give you the privilege to decide what is and isn’t degrading to females as a whole. Consider the implications of your statement and this FAIL post. You may not think it is a big deal- but things like this perpetuate the systematic disadvantages of women in society. Come on, everyone- wake up.
what if you didn’t like housework? you’d have to do it anyway without feminism! intelligence fail!
My only question is why we aren’t supposed to iron paint and as a follow up, why are these directions on a clothing tag?
I didn’t even see the Iron paint line! Good eyes man!
I think that it says iron print.
you mean print?
Me Fail.

What? Is that not the right adage?
Uhm, this is a big fat FAIL on failblog’s part posting this as a ‘win’.
Explain why.
Um, because sexism=fail.
*facepalm* I give up….
Never give up, Malicite. Although there are billions of them, that just gives us more to snicker/giggle at.
*sniggers*
*gickles*
It is possible to take some things seriously. Especially on International Woman’s day. Seriously, do you think sitting around chortling into your cheetos while your mother does cleans your tighty whiteys is ubercool?
Wait… you’re saying it’s not? Moooom! Stop the laundry!
Of course not Arthur. It’s cool when it’s your wife doing your laundry while you are sitting around.
Hmm… what if I marry my mom?
I’m not sure that I have the qualifications in psychology to provide an adequate answer. I would guess that you will destroy the space time continuum.
Then I have two good reasons not to do it. I’ll marry my gf then, let her do the laundry and be übercool.
*chuckle cackles*
Thank yah
I love how all the cute little “post-feminists” have come out to play.
Simply because you don’t recognize sexism as a problem, doesn’t mean that it isn’t one.
You do realize that you’re using the phrase “cute little” here as an insult, thus you know kinda perpetuating the whole gender stereotype thing?
Aww she’s so cute, let’s not take anything she says seriously.
Also hey you male person, I will compare you to qualities associated with females to insult your abilities, because everyone knows that females are inferior, thus you must feel shame at being associated with them.
that’s not a win. that’s definitely a fail. unless you’re sexist.
not cool, failbloggers.
but what’s wrong with being sexy?
language fail.
Spinal Tap reference recognition fail.
Are you male or female? I have to know that, because otherwise I can’t decide whether you can be taken serious or not.

This was submitted by a dog?
A wee Scottish lasse or possibly a Geordie.

And thankyou so much for the laundry help.
Less sheesh, more *squeeze*
Sorry sweety.
I thought that was a reference to indoor/out’tan’doori.

You don’t have to beg to curry favour with me sweetness!
I’m sure that everyone who posts on failblog has missed many references, I know I have.

Failblog posts fails. Isaac you said this is a fail. That is why Failblog has posted it.
^_^ This guy… Is a failure. Not a FAILer. Failure. Go cry to mommy, but be warned, she’ll have to do the laundry soon as your done. -.^
Fake….
But funny. Get over eeet.
Cool, I want one.
and now all you need is a wife, huh? bahaha.
So what do I do in my case? I don’t like doing laundry, and I’ll never have a wife. Hmm…
Throw it away, buy new clothes.
I hope you have a very large budget for clothing!
Oh, and *squeeze!*
*SQUEEZE*
*puts out a mr. cuddles clothing fund jar* Not really, but feel free to donate anything you can!
*puts in three clean shirts*
… or give it to your mom

Can I guess that a guy submitted this one. So typical
You can guess that, but you might be atypically wrong.
FAIL
Epic Fail for referring to this picture as a Win. Gender politics fail. =(
I think its a win, and I’m a woman who likes equality. It wins for getting the lulz.
You fail as a woman who likes equality.
Nilla, you are a twit.
Go and “like equality” in the laundry.
I agree with the FAIL. I forwarded the pic to the creator of Feministing.com & I won’t be back to this website.
expecting gender politics over lolz FAIL
You know, I was going to say something about misogyny fail, but perhaps I should put this more in terms the average male reader of this site will actually care about:
Finding this funny is a any-chance-of-ever-getting-laid-again-in-your-life fail.
So wait wait wait…let me get this straight because I am struggling with this one. Due to the fact that people found someone else’s obvious joke (yes it was a joke) amusing, they are forever destined to be sexless? There is no guarantee that won’t happen with me… However, my amusement of this “win” will have no bearing on that. Frankly, all of the people getting uber butt hurt (is butt hurt one word or two?) makes everything alright.
I think the point is that men who find this joke genuinely funny on its own merit (haha, that’s right! she should be doing the laundry as a break from being barefoot in the kitchen!), rather than because it’s so utterly stupid, are likely to be insensitive and treat women as inferior beings. Such men are not likely to get laid by self-respecting women.
Such men do not own computers or hold the intellectual capacity to formulate the most simplistic thoughts. I understand the importance of keeping sexism away from normal society, but the true meaning behind it can be lost with issues like today’s fail/win when people cry foul on every small infraction. Wisely picking and choosing battles is a key to any victory… I’m going to stop now because this has exceeded my seriousness limit for the day. *slides away*
“Such men do not own computers”
You, clearly, have never read the comments at YouTube, then.
Such men do not own computers? Yeah mate, dumb observation. Bigots come in all stripes.
oh shut the F up damn woman’s rights activist dont get so worked up its a joke relax it may be dumb but dont get your panties in a twist over it.
this is not a win it is a fail
jajaja very funny!!! what brand is?
This is a FAIL, not a WIN.
Sexism=FAIL.
Are you sexismphobic?
Perhaps.
No he is just afraid of looking like an asshole. which he shouldnt be sexism is funny! or if it is a women she should get off the computer and get back to the kitchen.
I am, because it fucks up my life.
im afraid of sexismphobics so that makes me a sexismphobicphobic
Yes, Airigh.
Considering I’m the employed one and my husband’s still out of work…
No. It’s HIS job.
This one’s a fail.
If you guys are too lazy to do your own damn laundry, it’s a bloody machine. You can’t figure out a machine, that’s not my problem.
Laundry is So Easy!
Recipe:
Heat Large Oven to 475.
Place like colored clothes loosely into a large deep baking pan.
Add 1/4 cup Tide or similar washing product per package directions.
Fill with water to 2 inches from the top.
Cover and bake 30-45 minutes per pound for very soiled clothes.
Remove from oven and allow to pan cool.
Turn oven down to 200.
Strain and Pour off juices.
Rinse 2-3 times with cool water or until rinse water is clear.
Place clothes flatly on oven racks until dry, 10-20 minutes.
Fold and put away or Wear Immediately on a Cold Day!
Its win because its funny, & in some country’s the people still think this way.
This is definitely not a win.
But it is a fail for Failblog.
My dad does the laundry, though. lol.
Definately NOT a win….
http://www.eatabigone.wordpress.com
I agree. This is both a sexist and stereotypical fail.
My dad does the laundry, as well.
Hehe, I just came back from doing the laundry to check my RSS feeds and see this.
dude u totally suck!
I agree with Airigh. Fail.
Trianglemouse WIN!
Fail.
Misogyny = fail. Sexist bullshit = fail. Two pages of rageful comments toward people who don’t find it funny = fail. Motivates me to drop this blog from my feed = fail.
Definitely fail all around.
Fuck all you people who are offended by this. Your oversensitive idiots who can’t take a joke. Do everyone a favor and die. It will be one less ass of the face of the earth.
Oh yes, this is a really mature comment
Jesus, overreact much? Why is it so important to you to insult women?
LOL @ “YOUR OVERSENSITIVE IDIOTS.”
My oversensitive idiots are much more articulate!
WIN!
It’s not about being sensitive, it’s about fighting for equality.
Elevate your thinking to the big picture of the social conscience.
You know what else is a win? When your wife kicks you out on your fat lazy ass because you can’t do you own fucking laundry
if this had been a FAIL pic i would have lol’d but as it is the fail is on failblog.org’s head
what is this the fucking ninteen fifties
(btw, women have to read the tag instructions too, it’s not like having boobs gives you psychic power over washing machines)
oh, and also, this looks shopped
I can tell not by some of the pixels but because of http://www.snabbstart.com/bilder/652c2272cc
lawlll
If you think this is a win, it is because you are an asshole. Now you know.
This would have been a passably funny FAIL. I thought failblog was here to mock the lameness, not praise it. What’s next? “White Restrooms Only = WIN”? Ooh, ha ha, so hilarous, right? Wrong. Many of the clever comments here would have been WINS if it didn’t sound like y’all were seriously defending misogynist bullshit and responding to valid arguments with dismissive tripe. To recap: Equating wife with laundry=FAIL. Deeming it a WIN=FAIL. Telling people to just get over it=FAIL. Trolls, lulz, and insensitivity = adolescent and tedious, but I’m sure it won’t stop some of you from trying to squeeze in that last lame word.
Shut up and stop ruining peoples fun. If people are sexist, They are aloud to be,its their choice. stop trying to make everyone think like you just because you don’t like something they do. Fuck off and mind your own business.
“Aloud to be”? You mean, like, they’re out loud? They’re loud, speaking aloud, we can hear them? But these are comments, on the internet.
You fail at English.
Shut the fuck up grammar nazi. I don’t care how i spell talking to idiots like you . Im not gonna waste my energy on a shitheap who tries to shut down arguments by pointing out grammar mistake.
Cat, you don’t have an argument. And the fact that you can’t spell only makes it that much less credible. Your error was pointed out because it was the only contestable thing you said. Everything else was just utter nonsense.
That aside, your logic makes absolutely no sense. If people are allowed to think whatever they want, then why are you yelling at them for having an opinion and not, to use your words, “minding your own business?”
So. It’s someone’s choice to be hateful? So, if someone is racist they’re allowed to be?
Ha. Right.
You’re an ignorant bigot.
This is a major FAIL for failblog.
PS How you can tell something is sexist-fill in something racist. Would it be acceptable to say “Get an African American to do it. After all, they were slaves.”?
No.
Careful though. It is very non-productive to compare systems of oppression. Moreover, by saying, “fill in Black person for woman” suggests (by language…I’m not saying this is what you INTENDED to suggest) it implies that racism is no longer acceptable in society. By all objective accounts, racism is very much alive and well.
Yea, no intention to compare at all or to imply racism doesn’t exist. Just saying usually it works to point out that it’s directed toward a certain group.
Fuck you if you think this is a WIN.
i hope the dick-head who wrote this marries a tom-boy canadian woman so she can beat him within an inch of his life for pulling something like that
and the manufacturer should be shot
HAHAH verrryyyy funnnyyy.
And you people need to lighten up. It’s just a joke.
“Just a joke” being treated as funny because it’s “true.” Which is bullshit.
Haha. Not f–king funny. Do your own stupid laundry, dumbass.
Give what to my wife and what’s her job? IT
Tienes pene( do you have a penis)……MUHAHAHAHA I will rule the world know. Spanish is afun sub. school……..*disepears*
Cliche’s like this are the one’s that lead to the cliche’ of never getting laid after you’re married.
“Cliche’s like this are the one’s that lead to the cliche’ of never getting laid after you’re married.”
*lol* totally. Men who can’t get their wives to sleep with them blame the women for being defective, when it’s usually just that the men are bad lays and even worse husbands.
Hahahaha… super cereal folks…super cereal.
Give it to your wife. It’s your job. And maybe afterwords she’ll do some laundry for you.
Hooray for dominance
(just kiddin)
FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLL
This picture made me smack my boyfriend on principal alone. Does that make me abusive?
Yes
Sorry, FAIL.
LOL
Women should do something to earn the 50% of everything a man works for his whole life when the get divorced because she gained 100 lbs and stopped fucking him. WIN
Women work too, ass.
Sexism = Fail.
“when people cry foul on every small infraction.”
In other words: small infractions NEVER add up to anything. So millions upon millions of small infractions should be ignored because they, like, totally don’t matter. It’s only the BIG infractions that matter, but those conveniently don’t exist, so I can keep telling you to shut up, sit down and take it, silly bitches!
FAIL for being boring, limp and stale sexism. *yawn*
FAIL for misogyny. What year is this again?
ha ha
wait
BM!
Well, I sure wouldn’t want my husband to operate my washing machine. It’s too sophisticated for him to figure out.
Funneh! But the person he owned the pants may have sewed that on him/herself.
whoops, i made a typo before. <:D
I have a T-shirt that says (besides the washing instructions on the label) “clean your room and call your parents if your gonna be out late”
you’re*
Thats just horrible…
The “Win” here would be that someone got away with putting this on the tag, and it made it through production; not what’s written on the tag. However, since it’s been shown to be a fake, it’s not a win at all.
Still, no reason to get so huffy. Try to exhaust some other possibilities before assuming something was intended to offend.
There’s an “assuming” involved? This offends, period.
This is a fail because the husband who doesn’t read the label on how to wash the clothing will never see the “Give it to your wife…” instruction either. He will then proceed to turn everyone’s whites pink. Then his wife will make him clean the rest of the house in his pink underwear, at least, that’s what I’d do.
Fail. I’m horrible at laundry.
You people get passionate for the wrong things:
1-it’s not failblog’s fault, it was submitted with a “WIN” already in it.
2-it was submitted most likely by a girl (Lasse).
There’s a drug war going on where I live and you people freak out with this?!
Lasse is a Swedish name, and refers to Lars which is a male name. I doubt a female would send something like that in and type “win” in it.
Still might be a girl, but now with this info its more likely a dude.
thanks.
Also as a unrelated note:
people vote on the submission, failblog send them directly to the main page “after” the submissions wins the votes. Stop blaming failblog, failblog is only a tool for entertainment. Blame the people who use it.
Who cares if a “girl” or woman submitted this? Women often hold sexist beliefs just as men do.
FAIL!
Thanks for circling the relevant part in the picture. I never would have seen it otherwise!
this is sexist, retarded, and NOT a win.
FAIL to the MAX
I love how you complain about this being sexist but then use retarded as insult. Nice to see you play favorites on who to discriminate against.
Agreed. Part of being a progressive means being against all systems of oppression. So please do not use sexist language when decrying racism, do not use racist language to criticize sexism, and do not use ableist language to object to both.
Besides, one’s argument carries a lot more weight when it is logically-consistent.
i hope this is on a “NO MA’AM”shirt.
FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weird and creepy misogynists are weird and creepy.
Feminists are so stupid. Try being a lady for once. My wife does the laundry because she likes to make me happy. I mow the lawn because it makes her happy. That’s the point. We’re trying to make each other happy, not ourselves.
Feminism is the cancer of American Society.
It has nothing to do with being feminist. I can be offended by someone assuming that the wife does the laundry because it’s her job without being a feminist.
My husband helps me with laundry and I help with yard work (yes, I know how to work a lawnmower).
Sexism is the cancer of American Society.
Kittyface ftw!
Mr Right, how you and your wife divide the domestic chores is your own private business. Personally, I like putting up shelves and painting, and yet cannot seem to get my partner to adopt laundry duties, even when it is his turn. And I can’t even remember the last time he cleaned the toilet. I will say, that he’d make me happy if he took his turn. And cooked and washed up.
Ain’t no excuse for this self satisfied bigotry at a time when both partners are working full time. Thought we were supposed to be a team.
And as for being a “Lady”, please define this term, as I’m not sure what you mean by either a “Lady” or a “Gentleman” if it can encompass a grown man lazing on the couch while his wife does everything around him. And learn to share that remote control.
Really?. You spent 20 minutes on a speech for a FAIL?. Think about that.
fail on failblog for posting it as a win.
Sexism isn’t funny.
….disappointed.
Another fake. The website has become a photoshop competition
NO!! FAIL!!!!!! male chauvinist pigs! (lol)
All of you calling people “humorless” for pointing out the serious shortcomings of this “joke” would likely be all up in arms about “political correctness” if it had gotten the much funnier and more appropriate “FAIL” caption. Does that mean YOU don’t have a sense of humor?
Or maybe it means this isn’t about having a sense of humor at all, but rather about how your politics and prejudices inform what you find funny. Why is this funnier as a “WIN” than as a “FAIL”? Having a sense of humor doesn’t mean not thinking about what you laugh at.
See there’s this thing called satire. The picture was supposed to be so outrageous that you can’t help but recognize it as such. Furthermore, it’s directed not at women, but with those who would agree with the tag, (like Swift’s ‘A Modest Proposal’ wasn’t directed at the poor, but rather those who found them unpleasant). I’m glad people find this funny, because they’re laughing at the caricature being portrayed, rather than accepting it as a valid outlook.
You see, your explanation ALMOST works, except that it doesn’t quite jive with the way this blog generally works. “WIN” is reserved for exceptional pictures that, instead of demonstrating some hilariously ironic, idiotic, etc. example of human foibles (or, occasionally, malicious acts, making the failure that much more delicious).
The other “WIN” posts, for the most part, demonstrate someone being particularly cheeky or clever, or occasionally, unintended truthfulness (like the invisible tape or the old dudes in the fail room, also posted on this blog). This is painfully easy to demonstrate. Look at other examples of “WIN” from this blog: http://failblog.org/tag/win/
I certainly don’t think you’re going to argue (while trying not to come off as sexist, anyway) that anything about this picture is “true,” and while the poster may have meant it to be cheeky, it’s about as successful at cheekiness as a red-faced six-year-old calling his babysitter a “bitch.” Mildly shocking and attention-grabbing for a moment, and maybe even almost kind of funny, until you realize that it likely indicates serious behavioral issues on the part of the six-year-old.
So unless this is self-satire, which in this context wouldn’t even make a whole lot of sense, unfortunately, your apologist explanation doesn’t quite fly. Your explanation would fit perfectly if this picture had a FAIL caption, which, as I noted in my comment, would have made it far funnier. Calling it a WIN makes it clear it isn’t directed at sexists, but rather at uppity feminists. And, good lord, trying to compare this to Swift — thank God I wasn’t an English major, as I’d almost find that comparison personally offensive. Swift was *brilliant*. This five-minute photoshop job is a cheap shot.
Let me start by being inflammatory, Swift was overrated.
Hmm well looking over the other examples, maybe win means more what you say it was, I hadn’t viewed the archives much (only one I was previously familiar with was the fail room). I will say, that to me at least, I find that I equate ‘win’ with ‘epic fail’, or a sense that this fails so much it’s a win (e.g. car crash vs. car flying 30ft then exploding). I still think some of the wins are there because the fail is particularly ironic (fail room, car on fire) but you’re right, some of them do play the win tag pretty straight.
See and my equivalent example wouldn’t just be someone shouting “bitch”, since that’s something you could see happening completely straight (in fact you take your example as serious). I think the issue though is that, it still rings uncomfortably true at that level, but if you dressed the kid up in a pimp suit and he said “Bitch, Make me a sammich.”, it’d be more outrageous, thus harder to pass of as normal behavior and much more obviously a caricature/joke. Still that scenario is likely just as offensive if it’s something you might take as serious.
As for which caption it should have, I think it really depends on how much you think the original part is serious (assuming you view the tags as I originally saw them). For example I couldn’t imagine taking a segment where Stephen Colbert says something overly X-ist and offensive and then sticking a fail tag on it. While fail might be the right way to respond to the statements expressed, since it’s already conveyed ironically, it feels like the tag is redundant at best, or entirely missing the point of the Colbert Report in the first place.
Though I suppose in this case there’s two layers, whether you thing the picture is serious in the first place, and then whether you view the win tag as seriously endorsing it or not. I suppose I can see how having to both layers might dilute the overall sentiment, such that it hits a bit too close to non-satire, and you could see some part of it as expressing actual view (or taking a cheap shot at commonly marginalized people). But to me, I found they simply add to together and make the joke more interesting, than just the picture alone. Though I admit to not having dealt with such issues, so my threshold of “too close to a real thing” is likely much lower than anyone who’s even had to remotely deal with such issues.
Fair enough. I think we can at least agree, then, that while this has a lot of funny potential, it’s also not completely irrational if some feel their feathers a bit ruffled from this.
Put differently, the ambiguity of this post, at the very least, leaves it open to more than one reasonable interpretation, and for that reason, it isn’t wholly immune from criticism, even from those with a pretty decent sense of humor. Agreed?
Certainly, and I’ll also admit that I’m much more disappointed by many of the comments people made trying to defend the piece much more than the people having issues over it.
No, it’s clearly a Fail.
To all the people upset of the misogyny implied in the picture.
I admit you do have a legitimate concern, because yes there is an ongoing struggle for women’s rights. But the point of this sit is to find funny things, and as Mark Twain said, “The secret source of humour itself is not joy, but sorrow”. Really think of the picture like a dead baby joke, taken at face value, it’s nothing but wrong, but that’s exactly why it’s funny.
If anything I take that people are finding this funny a good sign. They’re likely finding it funny because they know how ludicrous it is. If they were rather nonplussed and just went ‘yeah and how’s that funny?’ I’d be worried because then the tag reflects their expectations (if I told you I had coffee in my mug, it’s completely un-humorous since it’s entirely expected).
Guess I’ll have to tell my girlfriend that she’s in fact not a woman for finding this hilarious. Nor should she ever expect to get laid by a woman…
csdx: your girlfriend would not find it hilarious if in reality, ALL she was valued for
was getting the washing done. I mean, it is not rocket science, is it? All the information is on the label already. Unless she is dating a moron, and *knows* she has to figure out, on his behalf, how to wash a shirt.
And satire would be to subtly make fun of prevailing attitudes, and show how stupid they are. This just celebrates those attitudes.
failblog==>Fail
Yeah that’s kinda the point, she knows that she’s not only valued for doing menial labor (I’m sure I could give the specifics of our anecdotal situation, but I’m sure no one really needs me airing dirty laundry here).
I found it a guffaw worthy lampoon. But like I put elsewhere I can see how the addition of the win tag might change the meaning for some.
I wash it in toilet!!! Wif #2!!!
all these where on /b/ before they where on here
Congrats on your massive fail, failblog.
Definitely a major fail, failblog.
Disrespecting women = FAIL
Gross
So which one of the married gay couple washes it?
WIN! Bona Fide! YAY.
Amended post title: Failblog FAIL.
FAIL.
OMG. more liek women’s rights fail!
As always.. all women get butthurt at stuff like this, if the roles were reversed would you see men getting butthurt?.
As always.. all women get butthurt at stuff like this, if the roles were reversed would you see men getting butthurt?.
oh and
EPIC WIN!
not that officially makes an asshole. it’s not women’s role to do manual labor for men, that’s not what they’re valued for.
Fail fail faily fail. No satire here.
definitely not a win
Massive Win!
a win for fish brains
WOOT!
WHAT? More like the most epic fail ever.
EPIC WIN
EPIC-EST FAIL for failblog ever! A fail tag would have made this funny, but as many have said, the WIN tag totally ruined it for me. It is so much easier to get away with sexist jokes than with racist jokes. Teh sad! boooo failblog. Just booooo. Two thumbs way down.
Really? Gee my dad always did the laundry for everyone.
so true
What’s funniest about this, all femanism aside. The tag kind of implies that men can’t understand the directions, so the article of clothing should be given to the wife who can read and comprehend the direction. It is implying that the man would just screw it up anyway, therefore ruining the article of clothing. It is implying that the man has no patience, no intelligence at following directions, and is lazy. That is how I am taking it, and therefore it is a win, to me.
what makes this funny is not that it’s insulting women. i agree, this is completely sexist, but thats kind of what makes it funny. not sexism, but that there is acutaly someone out there that is ballsy to put that on there. the idea of someone actualy thinking it good idea to write that on there just fascinating to me.
i think people should focus less on what this say. but how stupid the person who wrote it was to write it. whether it was meant as a joke or not, this is what most humor is. people having a bad idea or making a bad choice and going through with it.
REALLY bad idea win
just shut up ur analyzing a joke that’s supposed to be sexist. this isn’t english or symbolism bullshit class in high school. this is teh interwebz.
definitely epic win
Goddamn the sensitivity.
Nah, it reeks of fail.
