Too bad it wasn’t a zapper
wii zapper?
Guns dont kill people, The electronic guns from video game consoles kill people.
FIRST!
*zaps pro with a nintendo taser
duck hunt ftw~!
first fail
no, nes zapper
This is why people blame video games for real life violence, all this time I thought they were talking about Grand Theft Auto!
Bwahahahah!!

Anybody else get deja vu after accidentally predicting certain aspects a month later and then experiencing the events?
once or more a week
I’ll kick you outta my home if you don’t CUT THAT HAIR!
With a Sega Light Gun? :°
Scissors might do a better job. But as you like.
Haha, don’t be jealous because of my great hairstyle guy. ;D
The youth of today, no respect for the Eld.
Yes, I am a rebel person… :/
I’m a babybel person. . .
*bounces off to indulge in cheese related shenanigans*
Try the commando plastic knives
When I was young respect was pretty much the only thing we had. And diseases.
I respect you even if I have a better hairstyle than you.
pro isn’t pro
IM PRO!
Pro is in disguise.
he’s just protending
He’s a prototype. Probably won’t make it to serial production.
He’s masquerading as dumb but we all know he’s proficient really!
yup goin by that avatar i reckon your refering to AIDS when you say diseases
I got the ref Arthur! Though I can’t admit to owning that stuff anymore!
Why not? It’s a classic!
but it’s sooo sexy
How’s my hair, then?
You have a robot on your head.
You gotta fight
For your rights
TO PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
BEATIE BOYS
Indeed.
You are a wonder!
Your timing was unbelievably perfect, that made me laugh out loud!
Time for shenanigans!
I call shenanigans! Everyone go home and get your brooms!
one case you can say it is caused by playing too many video games
You can’t hold someone hostage with a zapper! It’s orange! If you hold someone hostage with a plastic gun, it has to be black! Don’t you know anything?
? Are you talking to me?
1st Gen
sonic booom!
I love that song.
would have been funnier if it was attached to the system
Would prolly work properly, too.
The gun would be a threat if the hostage was wearing one of those beeping target things…
wow…
What’s a moosepie?
’bout two bucks a pound. Not much call for them these days.
If i could hold a hostage with a sega gun i would be sooo happy…
South Park reference?
Aww!! I totally missed that!!
Top Gun
Do they not have video games in Brazil?
They obviously don’t have intelligent cops…
I am from Brazil. We do have intelligent cops, the criminals are the stupid ones. This guy kidnapped an old woman that was owning him R$ 42,00 (about U$ 17) with that gun.. it was on the newspapers.
Yes, they do have intelligent cops in Brazil. They happend to be on vacation during this hostage crisis. Well-deserved vacation, that is.
Obviously not, cus they would have left brazil to not put up with such numbskullery and shenanigans, but perhaps the nimrodery
Great so the person was looking for less money than it took the buy the toy gun he threatens people with…id say thats pretty stupid
You sure it isnt this guy?
Apparently the cops were concerned that the guy had used the videogame gun cover to conceal a real weapon. :p
Yeah, that´s was the problem, the cops couldn´t tell if the it was a cover to a real weapon. Homemade weapons are often found in certain regions…
And maybe this cops didn´t played Master System! The first time I saw this photo I saw it was a video game gun!
Lol. Just the caption underneath the picture is epic
I dont think I have ever commented this high in the ranking.
Your achievement shall be augmented with a spanking.
Sounds interesting. When may I have my augmentation?
Ehhh I was trying to start a chain. Fail. Everyone’s asleep.
Perhaps I shall augment you some other time….

Speaking of, its about time to change my avatar.
Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnn!
*drum rollllllllllll*
The suspense is killing me.
It’s okay, it’s just Sega Lightsuspense. Is he gonna post here???
Yes
Aww mine hasn’t worked yet… I probably screwed up somehow.
Wait. Nevermind.
It’s worked. Clear your browser cache.
Yes, thank you, I clearly should be on Brazil’s police force for my ineptitude.
None of the regulars will suggest that for asking a reasonable question.
.
Oh, and you misspelled “poice”.
If I can just reach the reset button. . .
*dies from suspense*
Speaking about reset buttons: Hillary Clinton gave a red button to Sergei Lavrov. It was supposed to symbolize the restart in russian-americen relations. Too bad that the russian word that was printed on that button didn’t say “reset” but “overcharge”…
Is that seriously what it said?
Yes.
Clickie for the vid.
I’d pay to know the story behind this. Was it the end of a chase for another crime or did he leave the house with this in mind?
HEADLINE: Man in Brazil loses on Sonic the Hedgehog for the last time. Takes it out on neighbor who, in his words, would not “Keep her yap shut”. Police later revealed that this man was a gamerholic and could not tell reality from a game.
It’s a real underdog story.
Did you call me?
Ha! Morning
Where’s Mikey with my coffee?
I see you’ve brought your cup. Nice floral pattern.
Now, where’s the other woman?
Sorry, ricardo. These seats are taken. And pull your tongue in – it makes you look desperate, as well as sounding it.
I am from Brazil and i saw this on the TV. The guy kidnapped an old woman cause she owe him 17 bucks (42 Brazilian Reals). The cops didn’t even realized that that was a master system’s light gun and the man kept the thing going for over 10 hours. After that he was arrested. He had a knife too, the light gun was just to confuse the cops.
That wasn’t a knife – he just sharpened his thumb.
I’m confused about “to confuse the cops”. What kind of confusion was he expecting? The good old “gets you a bullet in the head” type of confusion?
Are you a cop Arthur?
Hell no! Why do you think that?
*whispers to his collar*
No need to get shirty!
.
That takes me back. We had a lad at high school who talked into his sleeve. We came to the conclusion he housed a family of midgets down there.
Oh, silly me. I just thought Arthur was trying to lick of the lipstick before he got home!
*off
Okay. Now that ^ looks like a now file type.
.off? watsdatmeen?
Had he been in America, police snipers would have taken him out long before 10 hours I’m sure. Assuming they are also blind to toys.
Yeah, but he had five continues so he could have carried on.
The fools could have nabbed him in five minutes, his phaser was set for stun!
Oooh, do you reckon he had a red top on?
Totally was a red shirt. But he lasted much longer than the average red shirt life expectancy.
Thats why you guys are at war, stupid barbarians
We could’ve shot him if he was a dog after ducks
Yeah, it could be handy if he had been in North America were life means nothing and children kill 12, 15 in a row!
What did he do? Spin dash into her?
there’s nothing light about a sega gun.
These cops FAIL’d though.
The man wins
SeGA!
SEEEEEEEEEEGAAAAAAAAA
DON’T COME ANY CLOSER, OR I’LL TURN HER INTO A MILLION PIXELS!
A million DEAD pixels.
You, sir, win a thousand Internets.
To be this good takes ages. . .
Hey, do you like my Sega Light Cat ‘o Nine Tails?
Nine Tails?!? I thought the fox only had two?
I don’t gots me a fox ‘o two tails…
He’d run rings round you then scarper after Eggman (coo-coo-cachoo)
Ummm…we’re talking about bondage gear, right? Eggman? Kinky.
Will their also be a walrus involved?
You got a tusk thing goin’ on, capt? I’m holding out for a semolina pilchard.
Well not a fan of pudding – or sardines, but walruses are tons of fun.
They’re down with the elementary penguins. Man you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
Miserable sod deserved it, he’ll trouble the schools of fish nevermore.
Ooooh! The Residents.
So…what’s with that pole?
Thats the powerline to his Sega Master System and television.
Silly me. I thought it was for his Sega Lightspud.
He was playing pole position before he got the phaser out.
So did you play summer games on your Sega Lightcommodore?
Not as much as my friends, I was always trying to gain ground on them on the zx genesis.
Games allegedly make people violent, and others stupid it would seem.
I think it was lack of gameplaying that made the others stupid. The man with the phaser obviously knew what he was doing.
Indeed, man with the phaser had a plan:
Phase 1: Kidnap a old woman with a Sega light gun.
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!!!
I’m fascinated in a macabre way as to what happened in Phase 2.
He blew on the dusty slot so the cartridge could be inserted properly for games playing. . .
I was afraid it was something like that… *shudders*
Well, you know, older models take more care and attention but it’s well worth the effort as they’re more fun and not just all about the looks.
…and still fewer – archaeologists.
Is that anyone you know?
I’m not sure I’ve met her, sorry. Has That mentioned me in passing?
She’ll be alright, the Sega light gun has less calories than a normal gun.
And it’s virtually fat-free.
He didn’t say “bun”, Kiemoo.
He didn’t say it, but he poked it with his Sega.
I thought he was just pleased to see you. Oh, and this is a much nicer thread for a coffee *proffers*.
Thanks pooh. I have a lot of coffee to drink if I’m to catch up with Mikey.
*wanders in with weasel coffee*
It’s nice, is chocolatey.
*offers around with morning pastries*
Nice. I love the way we get smartly dressed for these sessions.
Highlight of the day, makes it special.
Or maybe the headline means he had two hostages, the woman and a light gun. He was keeping them at bay with a Wii Nuchuck.
No, the entire thing is wrong. The PS3 plastic gun for Time crisis 4 was holding the women, the guy, the light gun, the nunchuck, a red ringed 360 (Who dearly needed to go to the hospitol.) and a DDR Dance pad hostege until got 6 pesos.
Because that will be double the money made from Time crisis 4 on the PS3.
HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY! for those who celebrate it!
And to you laddie, though I be not Irish, I’ll celebrate all day!
Burn in eternal damnation for those that don’t?
I prefer a good baseball bat to the knee-caps.
*burns in eternal damnation*
(Morning!)
Morning? It’s getting very late!
Au contraire. It’s morning.
Well not for me, so I shall say goodnight and bid thee adieu.
Sleep is overrated. But anyway, good night!
Morning Arthur.
*toasts marshmallow’s in damnations flames*
*sits by the fire drinking a beer*
Morning Moomin. Do you want a sausage?
*grills sausages on the flames*
0.0
Bit forward of you there Arthur, but no thankyou. Am going for marshmallows for the sugar rush to wake me up.
Nice smell though.
I thought you Brits eat beans and bacon for breakfast? And you have to start drinking by 11 am because your bars close at 19h?
Nah, we just lick weetabix of our monitors for breakfast. There are now 24-hour licensing laws, but I only know of one pub that applied for such a license. And that was by mistake. The news showed a single person having a beer with their bacon and beans. It was pretty pointless.
Do the Germans have a stereotypical breakfast? I’ve never heard of one.
I think that’s something none-Germans should answer. I’m not aware of a stereotypical German breakfast. Lunch and Dinner – yes. The bars in my town close whenever the owner feels like closing. For some that means: never.
Well the obvious response would be sausages, but that’s more a general thing attached to every German activity, rather than breakfast in particular.
*shrugs*
noobs!
Didn’t want to post a comment here anyway.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
FAIL!
*Squeezes Angry Moomin*
HAHA!
Morning Lou!
*squeeze*
Failblog playing silly buggers.
Such northern phrasing!
My Yorkshire does show now and agin.
*blushes*
It gans much forther up thun Yorksha pet!
Nah then, Weel av less o’ that. Yer in Boiker Grove territory thar.
You done for the day then you lucky bugger?
*squeeze*
Forther up thun that wor Moom. I’m from Northumberland. I say I’m a Geordie cos nobody down here knows the difference but technically… I’m not!
I’m done. I’ve had the most boring morning you can imagine.
I am rubbish at geography, all I know about Northumberland is that it’s pink in Monopoly!
*time passes*
Oooh, that’s practically Scotland. Must be gorgeous sights round there.
It’s been fun on failblog, boring in real life. All good for the appraisal though?
Practically Scotland yessir!
Clickie.
Appraisal is in progress. With forced team separation comes new goal setting.
*yawns*
Oooh, some good photographs there. Thankyou!
Some nice Art Deco architecture too, I like Art Deco.
I’d have loved to have grown up by the sea. Grew up in the brick terraces of Headingley in Leeds, not very picturesque.
.
Sounds like you’re loving the appraisal! Funfunfun.
Don’t ask me about the architecture. I only know most of it is older than Milton Keynes and a fair bit of that is much older still.
If you can find a picture of the lifeboat station, you’ll see my pop’s house in the background.
Headingley looks much the same (I Googled) just without the beach.
Oooh, in one of those terraces? The garden ends at the beach! How cool is that? (My comment got eaten so now what I’m typing seems really contrived).
Sorry I didn’t link any pictures.
The best thing Leeds has going for it is it is within easy driving distance of some gorgeous scenery both natural and manmade.
(clicky)
Oooh, in one of those terraces? The garden ends at the beach! How cool is that? (My comment got eaten FOUR TIMES so now what I’m typing seems really contrived).
Sorry I didn’t link any pictures.
The best thing Leeds has going for it is it is within easy driving distance of some gorgeous scenery both natural and manmade. I did have a link to Robin Hoods Bay in my name, but that may have been causing problems.
*cries*
Woohoohoohoohoohoohoohoohoo.
clicky?
*fingers crossed*
The beach was my garden. It’s about 30 feet down a ramp from the gate to the actual beach. There’s even a photo of my brother as he’s one of the lifeboat crew #10. (clickie then I promise you don’t have to look any more)
I’ve only ever driven past Leeds on the A1 so I can’t comment but I’m sure it’s not as bad as you make out. Robin Hood’s Bay looks quite a pretty picture; nice and relaxing.
Oooh, that’s cool. Must be a worry to you every time there’s a big storm up there and you’ll know he’ll be out. (You make it sound as if I’m not enjoying this?)
It is, practically every cottage there is rentable and I’ve stayed in many of them.
Leeds does have it’s sights. I used to climb over this as a child. . .
(clicky) Not everyone can claim to have that as a playground.
I don’t worry about my brother so much. You have to understand that that is his one redeeming feature.
Now I am, then I was immortal. All kids are. Surely you must look back on things you have done and marvel that you are still alive?
Ah, I see. I’ll say no more.
I look back and wonder how I managed not to drown. My dad’s old dog could swim better than me.
And yet still you live near the sea!
I don’t go in it anymore though!
Older and wiser win!
Last time I went to the beach I found a fossil, which took me by surprise. And searching for crabs in tidepools will always be ace.
Have a happy Wednesday chucky.
*vanishes into a crowd and/or cloud of diesel fumes*
Awww thankyou, life lacks flavour without you jam.
I was at a seminar this morning, and by strange coincidence your old town was one of the case studies! The Barratt Homes development there to be exact!
Hope you have a grand rest of the week, am away helping a friend decorate his new flat rest of week.
*tips hat and vanishes*
Well, because they have no language in Brazil, she couldn’t yell for help.
Yes how do you yell for help in Italoportuspanglish?
Well it’s kinda subtle to hear, but it sorta goes…ahem…
.
♪ (each one she passes goes) Ahhhhhhh… ♪
She’s been walking that beach since the mid-60′s. She must be tired, and thirsty.
Help Me = Me Ajude
I find this just funny. There are just two explanations in my opinion:
A ) The man knew that this was not a gun and had the balls to hold a human hostage with a toy
B ) The man thought that this was a real gun! Which is quite a scary thought. I would wander how much he paid for it?
Excellent poice work! Have a donut.
I LIKE BATS
I happen to have one right here. It’s bulky, but I consider it a carry on.
Just remember to check if it is a toy bat, before you buy it!
i’m hungry!
does anyone have a nintendo zapper gun? i am thinking about holding up a bank…. do you think i should cut the lead off just in case they get sus about it?
No if you cut it off then you’ll have nothing to tie up your hostages with.
I hate when that happens! I mean, when you go out to commit a crime, and then suddenly realise that you brought a toy gun instead of the real gun!
I just hate when that happens!
Even worse: When his little brother tried to play Sega he shot the TV.
Sorry, but this is definitely a win!
BTW FIRST!
The man resisted for 10 hours and he didn’t even have a real gun?
Police fails, man wins.
But, knowing the Brazilian police, after that the man is going to lose.
And his ass get loosened.
10hours in a hostage situation, with a fake gun? Definately a WIN!!
I would have preferred the Duck Hunt gun, but still good!
LOL this is from Brasil, hapenned just some weeks ago!!! I ROFL when I saw this on the news…
LOLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That happened here in Brazil. I loled my ass off when I saw that on the news. It’s things like that that make me believe we should hire MGO nerds to the police force. Not only are they expert headshooters, they can diferenciate a real gun for a toy one. XD
A real win would be if the man played with the Sega all the 10 hours WHILE holding his hostage.
NERD WIN
He had a knife too. RTFA.
Daaamnn! Brazilian Stupid old man! hahahahah i’m brazilian, and i’ll never commit such mistake! hahahaha
Stupid brazillian police
stupid andré
o idiota fala mal do próprio país!!
Ah, the Master System. While it will never replace the NES as my 8-bit console of choice, I do have a special place in my heart for it. All of those hours playing Phantasy Star, Psycho Fox, Cloud Master, Kenseiden… (nostalgic sigh)
at least he wasn’t armed with nunchucks
Click my nick for a couple more photos. With two knifes, the guy looks like some video game escapee.
I think you all are seriously underestimating the awesome power of SEGA Blast Processing(tm) !
He also had a pair of knives.
Make me proud Brazil!
PEW PEW
Meep meep.
Boop boop.
Testing??
I can see you!!!
And the link!!!
WOOHOO!!
Dragon its been awhile.. thought some other dragon may have foomed you.
HAHAHAHA WIN.
Well, you Brazilian guys should know that, despite our police force being really stupid, there’s a serious problem with homemade guns…that means the plastic gun could be anything, they did not spend most of their lives playing video games to know that. By the way, yes we have video games and even more, such as people who try to learn other languages, rare case in english speaking countries.
in defense of us brazilians at least our generation has played with master system =) more info about this case the guy held the woman hostage because she owed him 40 reais smth like 15 bucks…
Oh yeah!Brazil on Fail Blog!:D
LOL
meu país eh FodahH
this is a WIN!!!!
How does that even happen?!?
Anyway, this is not a fail, this is utterly and completely full of win.
I REMEMBER THOSE!!! FAIL!!!
More like hostage taker win.
this made my day
lolzzzzz!
BRAZILL! aushausahusaushu xD
Can words even describe such an event?
Brasil!!!
meu país eh foda!

oh men…seriously….BRAZIL IS A GREAT PLACE..WHIT STUPID PEOPLE…
\o/ !
And believe, the cops thought that Sega Gun (maybe broken) was a real gun… and this guy did it for just R$ 45 (about US$ 20).
P.S.: Counter-Terrorists win [radio voice]

My country rocks! [2]
Im brasilian and really happened ,its cool ,i think its was the first kidnap with master system gun
Tacos!
I remember this news here in Brazil…the guy kidnapped an old lady to recover a debt of 42$ (about 18 dollars) and police took 10 hours with a peacekeepers squad to surrender him….
According to reports I’ve read in Brazilian newspapers, on 02/21/2009, at 3:00 AM, the guy, who’s 42 years old, entered a house armed with REAL knives and the fake gun. He made all the residents hostage. Hours later, he set 3 people free and kept the 60-year-old lady. He surrended to police at 1:00 PM. One of the residents of the house owed R$ 45 (almost US$ 20) to the criminal. Brazilian cops aren’t stupid. The guy had real weapons (the knives) with which he could hurt the hostages.
so why did he need the sega gun ???
To earn an epic win title.
He havent childrenhood!!
He could burst her brain with infra-red rays… Sick, sick world…
I’m Brazilian, guy got a knife too, but I never saw a weapon with that design, lol
Brazil’s FAIL!!!!!!
Tá loco tchê, como conseguem !!!!! Ninguém dali conhece SEga?! aiuahaiuhaiauhaiuahaiuah
The victim wondered why the onlookers chanted DUCK, DUCK, DUCK for almost ten hours. Swat team confused and kept ducking over and over and over.
#180
AHEUAHEAU
This happend in Brazil !!
BRAZIL RLZ!!! \o/
That’s why I’m so proud of being brazilian. Brazil’s the shiznit of public safety!!!
That’s a fail for the woman… but a TOTAL WIN for the man. Kudos buddy, for actually vaguely getting away with such an idiotic feat.
lol funny best pic ive ever seen lol
actaily that is kind of a win
loaded with light!
Sega light gun! He only wants play counter strike in live
Magnificent goods from you, man. I have take into accout your stuff prior to and you’re just too fantastic. I actually like what you’ve acquired here, certainly like what you are stating and the best way during which you are saying it. You are making it enjoyable and you continue to care for to keep it sensible. I can’t wait to read much more from you. That is actually a tremendous website.
