Um, the black is already filled in genius. But I guess you could color over top of the black lines if you wanted to. And besides, everybody uses the black crayon when they need black, but leaves the paper blank when they need white, because obviously paper is white. Hence the “finally” using the white crayon.
This is an imagination fail. Why is someone so cynical in possession of a colouring book anyway? Make a purple zebra you grumpy bastard! Let the kids colour however they want to!
Dimwit. Color is spelled colour in the UK and other countries. Just like Balloon is spelled Ballon in Canada. Do you know how idiotic it looked when I read that you wrote, “my spell checker agrees.” Maybe because you have it set to American!
The british are the roots of white America as they set up the colonies they are also the first people to use the english language as the name sugestes there for the dimwited Americans are to blame and it is the americans that spell colour wrong.
Woo Irish! We spell it like Colour. The damn Americans wanted to be different or something and so they raped the English language.
Basically they just took out some u’s and changed s with z a load.
That’s pretty fail in my opinion.
Anpu is disappointed at today’s youth. They’re so damn lazy that coloring-book makers have to resort to…this in order to get anything properly colored (more like properly uncolored).
well i have to say this is not fail, it is ronseal-what it says on the tin.
prolly a grown up wrote that, a kid would be too busy colouring.
i suppose its one of the few opportunities an american gets to demonstrate their intelligence.
move away from the post, no fail to see here, move along
thank you!
Wow, The argument over the spelling of colour shows you just how ignorant some Americans are… and the spelling also proves that an American obviously isn’t intelligent enough to point out that it is pointless to have a zebra in a colouring book… therefor they dis something they are uneducated about. How stereotypical.
“Look ma’ they spellded color rong *Que hillbilly chuckle* Ima go have me some sex with the donkey again”
There are many Americans in this world, and only a portion of them speak English as their native tongue. But those that do no that queue means to “line something up.” Que is a Spanish word often used in places where the word “that” would be used in english. Unless it is accented in which case it is an interogative. Regardless the discussion about the spelling of color was all in jest.
I must correct myself once more, how humbling! There is indeed an obsolete English meaning for que. It meant a half farthing at one point. Also the originally referenced poster could have meant cue as in ” to prompt.”
Seriously, read the other comments before you post. There has just been a giant debate over the correct spelling of colour. It was funny as hell. Keep up.
Colour is the (arguably, more correct) way it is spelt in Britain / Canada / Australia… pretty much everywhere except America.
rednecks, stupid as all hell. Way to live up to the name. And feel free to pull your head out of your stupid American ass long enough to realize that YOU are wrong. Venture a little outside your country bumpkin life, you will see a whole new world. Numbskull, I’d beat you sideways if you were next to me.
im the fail, because i just spent 15-20 mins reading about ‘colour v color’
it dont matter if youre black or white *mickie j boogie*
the real people who fail are the ones who spend their time correcting the grammar and spelling of inets users. funny sometimes, stupid most of the time.
the really funny part though.. it probably takes the correctors 10 minutes to realise the correction ..
the problem is dimwits is that the colouring book says “Colour us In”
Well there is one zebra, us means more than one. it is not the color but the writing
The british are the roots of white America as they set up the colonies they are also the first people to use the english language as the name sugestes there for the dimwited Americans are to blame and it is the americans that spell colour wrong.
color..colour…everyone is dimwitted. Language evolves and changes everywhere and there really is no “correct” form at this point. Language serves a purpose, you say something and people either understand it or they don’t. No need to patronize eachother about it. If you truly insist on being technical; without the vikings (a.k.a. barbarians) we wouldn’t be arguing about the “proper” usage of the English language. The zebra could be colored in, or if you’re a realist, it could be black and white. Either way, this conversation is pretty pointless.
has nobody considered that the animal we are looking at is an okapi? well, an okapi with stripes on more that it’s legs. therefore, if it is in fact an okapi, than you would need to color it brown. and about color vs. colour, i say that its fine that here in america we say it color, and i say i don’t really CARE how its spelled. and about the animal underneth where they put the fail, is that a carebear on speed?!?!
lol this is a double fail cause even tho its suposed to be black and white u missed the spelling error of “color” says” colour us in” lol still funny tho
Maybe they are hiding the same place the Any Key from my computer is hiding. Which makes me think they are probably the same place as my missing sock. I have a theory that when the heating element in your dryer heats up, combined with the spinning motion creates a gateway to an alternate dimension thus sucking in random things. So logically, that would mean that when I find my missing sock I will also find your missing car keys. If this is true then there is only thing I don’t understand… what was my computer doing in the dryer?
today, i stayed up just to say FIRST on failblog. FML
maybe it was the all rare tigerhorse?
Or the even more rare albino tiger horse.
but then that wouldn’t make sense if it was supposed to be colored in
maybe they just want someone to finally use the white crayon
Are you being racist? Whatever happened to the BLACK CRAYON, huh?
Um, the black is already filled in genius. But I guess you could color over top of the black lines if you wanted to. And besides, everybody uses the black crayon when they need black, but leaves the paper blank when they need white, because obviously paper is white. Hence the “finally” using the white crayon.
Dimwit. White has already been filled in.
No point using black or white.
Where is this going anyways??
you could use red.
if it was dying…
Or you could use red for the eyes, if it was really an albino zebra / tiger horse.
You could use red.
If it had a rash.
…Or you could find a new damn coloring book.
This is an imagination fail. Why is someone so cynical in possession of a colouring book anyway? Make a purple zebra you grumpy bastard! Let the kids colour however they want to!
ITS THE BRITISH WHAT DO YOU EXPECT
Now that Drek mentions it, hes` right!
It could be Canadian…
Or New Zealand, or Australia, or any other english speaking country besides america o.O
HAHA… just like Michael Jackson!
is nobody noticing that the real fail is that they spelled color wrong? They used that goofy Britainian spelling thing there.
:^D
The real fail is when the word “Colour” is spelled “Color”.
I agree with your comment, but have to say that beer is very (vey) tasty!!
“Let’s go drink some BEEERRRR!!!” [[psychostick-"beer" great beer song.]]
oh and yes, beer=goood.
It’s color, not colour. My spell checker agrees. Also, do British get a hard on from the letter U?
Dimwit. Color is spelled colour in the UK and other countries. Just like Balloon is spelled Ballon in Canada. Do you know how idiotic it looked when I read that you wrote, “my spell checker agrees.” Maybe because you have it set to American!
I’m from Canada and the last time I checked, balloon is still
spelled balloon. “Ballon” is in french therefore doesn’t count
in your example.
Dimwit. Either that, our color is spelled wroung in the UK.
The british are the roots of white America as they set up the colonies they are also the first people to use the english language as the name sugestes there for the dimwited Americans are to blame and it is the americans that spell colour wrong.
I hate that, only switch the two COLORS around
britanian?? wtf is wrong with you? its british you moron. and just cuz its british doesnt mean its wrong.
Or (r)ight
its ‘o right’ dumbass
irish win
Woo Irish! We spell it like Colour. The damn Americans wanted to be different or something and so they raped the English language.
Basically they just took out some u’s and changed s with z a load.
That’s pretty fail in my opinion.
It’s because of their weak minds, they couldn’t remember
the correct spellings so the made them easier to sound out
WOOOOOH AUSTRALIA
no, the real fail is that they had to actually write something that pointed out the fail
What about those of us who are on the internet commenting about how they had to actually write something that pointed out the fail?
Umm…not to ruin the mood or anything, but in some of europe,
thats how color is spelt…
Or is it that someone had to post a comment complaining about how they wrote something that pointed out the fail?
Oh boy, meta-criticism!
We also spell it “colour” down here in Australia.
And Up here in Canada
“colour” is NOT an incorrect spelling- that’s how they spell it in the U.K.
It depends of which damn country you are in you dumbass
Maybe the coloring book IS in Britain. Ever thought about that?
Um…it’s actually how you spell Colour in the rest of the world…
it’s just the American’s that had to take out the “U”.
So the colouring book is anywhere EXCEPT the States.
like i said, it could be canadian or british. it’s spelled right.
is a five year old girl dude…
Over there. *points*
Thats not white on the paper, genius. Coloring book paper is not quite white but grey.
wow, whose daughter are you?…not mine, that’s for sure
you’re the racist!
No, I’m the racist! Wait… what are we fighting over again?
Nope – hates everyone equally.

Owned by a wise kid.
Or an odd adult.
That person obviously never had Fruit Striped Gum.
Nor someone else’s fruity stripped mum.
A zilf?
Lemme move that yellow F just to check first. I don’t go both ways, you know.
That’s not what Mikey’s proctologist says.
“Out only”, he told me. “Meh, you won’t feel a thing, promise”, I said. He doesn’t talk to me much now.
It’s supposed to hurt. That’s how you know you’re doing it right.
“Hey!”, he said. “It’s okay. Done now – the heads wider than the rest”, I said. He’s angry now ’cause I fibbed a little.
Okay, I just emailed him mooks to let him know we’re watching his back.
“Watching?” Some euphemism.
Humping! ‘Humping’, dammit. I didn’t know what to call that thnig you’re doing, so I just said “coffee time”.
See, now all that started ’cause there was no smut in the actual fail.

I’m away for one morning and now I can’t walk properly!
It’s about time you showed up! *hugs*

I couldn’t show my face after how DrB took advantage of me.

The cad!
well that was… interesting.
Hell. I think I’m missing the smutty angle.
What’s that? About sixty degrees?
That zebra looks horny to me. Try again!
(Thank God you’re here! Where is everyone?)
He looks like he is happily anticipating someone/thing to come up behind him and make him blush.
(Morning all!)
I left the webcam on again??
(Hey Mooks =) morning Sidhe)
Yes. Next time please don’t step over it on your way to the bathroom.
It’s just all wrong since I waxed. But thanks for pointing out that rogue toilet paper on the way back.
When I told you to shave, I meant the beard. But this works, too.
I didn’t mean for you to see that special tatoo. Sorry.
I enjoyed every minute of it
It says “colour me bad.”
Colour his cheeks all rosy.
I like you’re style, son.
always have always will
You could colour it as if it were a zorse.
A zumgum?
Oh, I get it! The ’twas designed by the lazy ass judges…
That zebra looks metally retarded..
hmm. must be an iron deficiency.
What i can say…
Stupid American,and their stupid children
Haha funny man. They don’t use a ‘u’ in colour.
Must be the Brits
Or the Australians, New Zealanders, Singaporeans, South Africans, Irish and Canadians…
Or pretty much any country that spells words properly…
Which rules out the belgians.
True. There’s no ‘u’ in ‘Farbe’.
couleur… hey it could be french
or just really gay.
or just really gay. and stupid.
Well, simple *shrugs*. Who has zebras?
There must be a massive zebra population in the UK as we constructed all those zebra crossings so they wouldn’t get run over. . .
Nope,Russia
You’d better go. I hear Penelope calling.
What I can say… You’re a one trick pony. And that trick is really boring.
It’s not even a trick, they’re just a pony.
I just read the words ‘they’re just a pony’.

Why? What did my tiny brain ever do to you?

I agree with almost all of my comments there.
All I can think right now is….
Fruit Stripe, Fruit Stripe Gum!
I already said that. But I’m glad someone else here remembers that, too…
Friut Stripe, and what about Teaberry?
er, fruit
Fruit Stripe gum tasted funny and melted in your mouth.
Bah. It’s 4:15 in the morning; I don’t have the attention span to read through 70 comments.
Maybe I shouldn’t post if I can’t read through everything or something. >.<
What ever happened to that gum anyway? It was kinda fun for about 30 seconds before it lost its flavor.
I miss my childhood…
Big League Chew….that’s the ticket.

observation WIN
Now i have to complain again: Jon B used my parking fail to become famous!
this is WIN .. not a FAIL !
“I can be black or I can be white.”

Stick a fork in her, she’s done.
WAIT! I’m not!
‘k done *pants* was looking for a stable relationship, but it turned out to be a bit of a mare
Zebra
♪ I could be red blue black and white sunset
Or darkest at day boy or brightest at night ♪
Ehi no, this is “Smart Kid Win”
Looking at that Zebra they should have made its eyes red
but is it black with white stripes or white with black stripes?
What’s black, white and red all over?
.

A sunburnt zebra.
(That also explains what you need to colour in! Win!)
Two nuns in a chainsaw fight
My 3 yr old would colour it in no probs, the whole thing would be whatever colour he picked up first.
How stupid they are, really how STUPID
Black and white and red all over…if you colored it with red.
Daily gif blog
DB
that zebra needs a dental plan
There is a FAIL and a WIN!! The comment by the kid is a totally WIN!!!! hahaha
This is WIN!!
what a clever child!
additionally generic fail comment
wouldn’t that be a Win for the kid who wrote it?
It would be better without the “Zebras are black and white” text.
hmm, i think that they should make a coloring book of Zebras, Penguins, and White Tigers. who’s with me?
If there aren’t going to be any polar bears then I’m OUT.
Yep, that’d be a bestseller! They could call it “The Lazy Sh*t’s Coloring Book”
They should print it on blue paper just to be really annoying.
With U all teh way
Looks more like a Quagga to me, which is brown
http://www.fund4horses.org/info.php?id=147
This is a Win!
well i have to say this is not fail, it is ronseal-what it says on the tin.
prolly a grown up wrote that, a kid would be too busy colouring.
i suppose its one of the few opportunities an american gets to demonstrate their intelligence.
move away from the post, no fail to see here, move along
thank you!
What a lazy child. He didn’t color the gums.
I am amazed that I am commenting, to comment on how sad everyone is who must keep commenting on this.
Britanian means British, by the way. Perfectly okay. Would you like Encyclopedia Britanica to change the name? No? Good.
I would have to say this is a win for the kid.
How many little kids use the ellipsis?
Black and White is not a colour.. its a shade. Don;t you get it?
Grammar fail. Apostrophe usage fail. Colo(u)rs come in shades. Idiot.
Troll Fail
Colour = British Spelling
don;t = possible typo
you idiot
“its a shade” is the apostrophe usage fail, you idiot. You didn’t see that, did you?
Ignore this sheep shagger idiot. he can’t spell colo(u)r. kiss your arse
omfg i cant believe i just wasted 3 minutes of my life reading this… and if you peeps think that its stupid then y did u bother commenting??
ps. Go that kid!! its nice to finally see a smart american.
Not to be threatening or anything, but methinks you’ve got about 3 hrs to change that screen name…
Wow, The argument over the spelling of colour shows you just how ignorant some Americans are… and the spelling also proves that an American obviously isn’t intelligent enough to point out that it is pointless to have a zebra in a colouring book… therefor they dis something they are uneducated about. How stereotypical.
“Look ma’ they spellded color rong *Que hillbilly chuckle* Ima go have me some sex with the donkey again”
There are many Americans in this world, and only a portion of them speak English as their native tongue. But those that do no that queue means to “line something up.” Que is a Spanish word often used in places where the word “that” would be used in english. Unless it is accented in which case it is an interogative. Regardless the discussion about the spelling of color was all in jest.
In the second sentence that is “know.” I didn’t proof read before I posted.
I must correct myself once more, how humbling! There is indeed an obsolete English meaning for que. It meant a half farthing at one point. Also the originally referenced poster could have meant cue as in ” to prompt.”
there’s a red bear just under the zebra, so… who cares.
unless…it was a dying bear.
maybe an alien, a red one
I,ll say its Win for the Kid
I have to agree here! That’s one smart-ass kid
LoL the real fail here is the comments
starting by your comment
Stupid kid…everyone knows zebras are purple and chartreuse.
lol. the coloring book failed, but the kid is a win
i dunno… comsidering what the kid wrote on the page, i think this is actually WIN.
Spelling FAIL
It’s COLOR not COLOUR. =p
Seriously, read the other comments before you post. There has just been a giant debate over the correct spelling of colour. It was funny as hell. Keep up.
Colour is the (arguably, more correct) way it is spelt in Britain / Canada / Australia… pretty much everywhere except America.
rednecks, stupid as all hell. Way to live up to the name. And feel free to pull your head out of your stupid American ass long enough to realize that YOU are wrong. Venture a little outside your country bumpkin life, you will see a whole new world. Numbskull, I’d beat you sideways if you were next to me.
Its just a fail all and all
I likw how it says, “zebras are black and white”, but he colored the bear next to it red…
I am crying with laughter, not at the pic, but the comments, I fell off my chair at “They used that goofy Britainian spelling thing there.”
Thanks Beer Drinker, THATS my new commenter name!
must.
stop.
crying.
with.
laughter.
I think the kid won!
he said “Zebras ar black and white”
im the fail, because i just spent 15-20 mins reading about ‘colour v color’
it dont matter if youre black or white *mickie j boogie*
the real people who fail are the ones who spend their time correcting the grammar and spelling of inets users. funny sometimes, stupid most of the time.
the really funny part though.. it probably takes the correctors 10 minutes to realise the correction ..
go ahead, correct me.
lol……….i agree with u 100%………lol……..
At least they spelt colour correctly.
I’m pretty sure the red ‘bear’ everyone keeps bitching about at the bottom is actually a pig…
to be honest, the british invented the english language, so really its the americans who have spelt it wrong
(about the colour/color thing.)
the problem is dimwits is that the colouring book says “Colour us In”
Well there is one zebra, us means more than one. it is not the color but the writing
COLORIN’!
OUTSIDE THE LINES!
The british are the roots of white America as they set up the colonies they are also the first people to use the english language as the name sugestes there for the dimwited Americans are to blame and it is the americans that spell colour wrong.
That shows how stupid British marketers are sometimes.
To the people saying how clever this kid is, it’s more likely some sad adult/teenager pretending to write badly.
Hummm ta queue Zebra, ta queue…….
The kid had no imagination. It’s still technically can be coloured in…
whats sad is that one kid is smarter than a corporation that made this book
color..colour…everyone is dimwitted. Language evolves and changes everywhere and there really is no “correct” form at this point. Language serves a purpose, you say something and people either understand it or they don’t. No need to patronize eachother about it. If you truly insist on being technical; without the vikings (a.k.a. barbarians) we wouldn’t be arguing about the “proper” usage of the English language. The zebra could be colored in, or if you’re a realist, it could be black and white. Either way, this conversation is pretty pointless.

and also, whoever made this book assumed the kid never intended to color/colour the animals the correct colours/colors.
I must agree that a lot of these comments are funnier than the fail itself! Keep up the good work
Also make sure you check out http://um.clanservers.com/servermotd/

I really love it when comments about a topic are many times more entertaining than the actual topic.
Colour, Color – Honor, Honour ect, so what? :/ (Late comment, googled the picture because it was funny when I saw it randomly)
whenever i go to restraunts i dont even get a white or black crayon anyways LOL.
what if its white and black?
lol this is a double fail cause even tho its suposed to be black and white u missed the spelling error of “color” says” colour us in” lol still funny tho
in case this has not been mentioned… i call that a logical WIN!
I like turtles.
