^Um, no you didn’t. If you looked at the times correctly then you would have seen that Sam posted at 4:01 and you “Firster” posted at 4:02. I’m not sure that that will make much of a difference to you, but just pointing it out, because technically you didn’t post at the same time.
Yes, well, if you had looked past all these nested comments to the actual 2nd comment, which Firster posted, you would’ve seen that he did in fact post at 4:01 with the words “Haha! I wich i had that in my school!”. So yes, they did in fact post with mere seconds between them.
Ya guys, i hate to say, but this isnt fake. Wen I lived in India, I went to school in these things. (i was in 1st grade.) Pretty much a metal cage on the back of a rickshaw. Most schools in India can’t afford busses. And might i add, i went to one of the better private schools, but that was nearly a decade ago.
At least there are no school shootings like in the Sowhat Union aka United Sods of Amurkuh. And people learn things instead of eating pseudo food like cheese doodles.
Americans can’t manage a country of 300 millions without putting 2 millions of them in jail, they would be doing way worse with 1 billion citizens.
Oh, yes. Sorry, I forgot, school shootings are -totally- the fault of all Americans. I completely thought that they were the fault of kids bullying, or the screwed up psychology of said shooters.
Also- As an American, I’ve learned quite a lot more than eating pseudo food, such as cheese doodles. I’m glad that you’re rather ignorant, and think oh so highly of yourself. Have fun all alone on that pedestal of yours, please and thank you.
At least we stupid Americans never had a caste system which locked people into their places and deemed a huge percent of the population as worth less than garbage. Nor have we ever had an issue with women being the victims of acid attacks because they want to choose their own lives instead being forced into a pre-arranged marriage. We don’t have half of our population being malnourished, and all of our kids have access to schools. Are we rich? Damn straight we are, so our management system seems to be working a hell of a lot better than yours.
Nah – a win – it’s being crammed into a tin can and catching a ride to school wins over walking several miles. Buses and cabs and everything are crammed just like this.
I doubt the kids think they are being “hauled around in a tin can” more like “being transported to school with their friends instead of having to walk three miles in flip flops”
I though you were joking the first time, but now you continue to do it. Seriously? That’s what you want to do here? Always try to be first and bash the person who managed to beat you?
BOGGY can’t find DAISY on BIG LITTLE PLANET!
BIG LITTLE PLANET is Too Big!
.
.
BOGGY name is BOGGY-Monster on BIG LITTLE PLANET BOGGY LOST!
HELPS! DAISY!
A girl I used to go to school with called me and i looked round and tumbled backways down it OUCH!
As for the site please accept my apologies for the hideous invalidity of the code, my site’s aren’t all like that
Actually, it’s quite a nice site full of interestingness and daisyandconfused ramblings. Did you ever get your car? It sounds great! My lil’ Honda Jazz would be no match.
Got it last Friday! It was worth the wait. It’s in having a monster soundsystem installed at the minute which is just as well since I can’t really drive it yet because of my foot
gee. so you’re the first one to comment on a picture that says “fail” on it. your parents must be so proud of you. let me guess, when you’re the first one to take a crap in the morning, you yell “FIRST!”, which wakes everyone else up in the house, thus cementing your “awesomeness”. is it really necessary to let everyone know that you’re “first” in everything you do, or do you just have such a ridiculous ego that we’re all just supposed to think you’re “badass” just because you’re “first”?
Because you can’t see how cramped, dirty and traumatic for the children it must be for them to be wheeled around in such a claustrophibia-inducing cart.
fail usually entails making fun of something. i currently live in a third world country and its not cool to call poor means to transportation as a fail.. if anything, its a win for being creative enough with the little resources they do have and not being ashamed to do what they can to get those kids to school.
DAISY LIVE in a IRELAND!?
:Looks all over & can’t find any Irelands anywhere:
ALL CAN FIND is Bicycle Cage full of Childrens!
Whats a Ireland looks like?
She keeps calling me a bad boy . But she insists on 3 hour sessions and doesn’t charge, so it’s not all bad, I guess.
(I am! Hope you’re well too! Night!)
I fail to see the humor in making fun of those who lives in a disadvantaged environment and making the best of what they have so that the next generation might have a chance of a better life and country.
Oh yeah, I just love talking to people in India when I have a technical problem. I love the fact that they keep passing me along to their “supervisors” Oh how I love Dell Hell. Good for them, because I certainly wouldn’t want to speak to a self righteous native English speaker who might actually understand my questions.
Actually I don’t see this picture as a fail. I think its great that these kids are being driven (instead of having to walk) to their school. They actually are getting an education. Things could be worse and for many people they actually are.
So here is the question. Why is it bad to live in a country where people had some sense of security that they could earn a living and not be starving to death in filth. I did customer service for a while. Let me tell you, it didn’t pay all that well. A couple dollars above McDonald’s.
My guess is that it costs even less for a company like Dell to outsource their customer service to places like India, than it would cost to pay self-righteous entitled western kids to do the job stateside. That must mean that the people in India are getting paid even less than the barely livable income a customer service rep gets in the states. I am having a real hard time seeing the WIN in your comment.
It’s win, because the western bastard-children who think they deserve everything will actually have to WORK to get a job, and not have it handed to them on a silver platter.
Ok, either you are pathetically prejudiced, with little or no education-I’m guessing the television is your main source of information about the outside world- or you are a troll.
It’s a win for those little kids, because they are willing to pile into a crowded rickshaw and go to a 3rd world school and earn something for themselves while a bunch of pimply, fat ass american kids sit in front of their computers and make fun of them for being poor, as if they did something right to be lucky enough not be born a rat-hunter at a garbage dump in Mumbai.
Also, although I’ve had some bad phone center service from India, I’ve never had anyone be rude or act put out like many of the American customer service reps I’ve run into.
Medium refers to what language their education is done in. So in this case, their primary language would be English. Co-education is a school that’s of mixed gender.
And yes this picture is real, I’m not from India, but I have lived there. Unfortunately many kids are in this kind of situation, and it’s not funny, they may look happy, but I guess they don’t know any better, the people do the best they can with what they got.
They’re probably happy that they are at least getting an education, unlike lots of children their age and even younger in that part of the world who have to work.
And they are being transported in a way that does not pollute or use up finite natural resources.
Duh – building material. Non Americans are all magical – everything they do is purposeful and deeply meaningful. Haven’t you been reading Homer’s comments?
I might have to! ‘Cause this attention-whoring thing just isn’t bringing in the money like I thought it would. 5 (or 4) steps to make Pooptarts sounds like a lot for me, though. My attention span starts to decline if I’ve got to microwave something, take it out and stir, then put it back in the microwave again. Too many steps.
It sure does. And the ones where you cook on high power for so many minutes, stir, recover, then have to put back and cook more on 50% power?? Grrr. WAY too many steps. I eat them half frozen; sort of like a popsicle entre. Or, depending on what it is, a poopsicle entre.
The boi I lyk wont even talk to me! IT’S LYK I DONT EXIST. And the teachers are mean! They wont let me text, even though, it’s lyk, totlly important. They’re just mean and out to get me!!!1!!
Fall? More like explode onto the road being packed so tight! Looks like they had no choice but to lock it. It’s probably the safest way to transport kids packed like sardines.
I’m afraid it will probably be a perpetual Tory-Labour cycle until someone really charismatic leads the Lib – Dems.
(I’m great too. GCSEs coming up in a year so I really should study :p )
Aww GCSEs! Sure a year is long enough, start worrying in September.
As I recall, they weren’t all that challenging after the fear-mongering of the teachers.
In terms of sadism, yes. But they’re significantly less strict at the same time. It makes no different to them whether you show up and do the work or not, the responsibility is all yours. You’ll love it!
I haven’t really decided yet. I have taken advice on the last 3 I bought, and was disappointed. *sigh* I am in quite a quandry as to what to buy. Either Dell, or HP. The OS is the puzzle. I have XP, and am confoozled about whether or not to get Vista. Some friends tell me they have no problems with it, others hate it. What to do, what to do…? I just dunno.
Well, I had XP and was really hesitant about getting Vista because it seemed so user-unfriendly. But I had no choice because XP isn’t really available anymore and Windows 7 isn’t out til September.
But after a day of playing around with Vista, tweaking it to be slightly less annoying, I’m actually pretty happy with it! It takes some getting used to and eats up a fair bit of RAM but it’s not as bad as I’d expected. So I’d say go for it!
It will take you time to find the downsides of Vista. It doesn’t work with a lot of programs, it will start crashing more and more, stuff like that. I was happy with it in the first couple of weeks, but then the problems start.
Yes the platform is more expensive. However, all major programs are supported and the ones that aren’t can be translated easily. I know because I live in this world and receive files daily from PC users.
Further, my own 7+ year old Mac continues to operate flawlessly without any of the 3-year self-destruct features of the Windows machine. Just ask my sister who is on her 3rd PC.
No viruses, worms, Trojan Horses, and given equal clock speeds it out performs the PC.
I don’t have to optimize my drives any more and the print-to-pdf function is built in to the OS. No “Distiller” needed.
Last week I was burning a DVD, uploading a 100MB+ file, running a 1/2 hour print job and working on a big Photoshop poster all at the same time, on my Mac.
Naw, no chance of that happening. I’ve had enough of the test for now. I do typing for a living so I probably could avoid more speed/accuracy testing for this weekend and not miss it; I get enough of it for 40+ hrs/week!
And it’s a piece rate kind of thing, with errors lowering the $$. So I’ve got a pretty good incentive to be fast and accurate. I’d like to be faster, of course.
Why are so many pictures on Failblog just simply not fail. Obviously this, if it’s even real, is from a not totally developed country doing what they can. I see no fail.
I definitely agree with ghouck. I was going to say the same thing! This country obviously just doesn’t have a ton of money, and I see no fail in trying to get these kids to school any way they can!
Then why bother looking at it!? I would have rather been crammed in a tin can than had to stand in -10′f for 30min waiting for the bus at 5am. Wonders of living in the middle of nowhere…
But still, that looks impractical, as the load appears too great for the vehicle. Imagine the stopping distance on that bike, let alone the effort to get it moving at all!
Exactly what I was thinking. What are they supposed to do, make them all walk a mile to school because they can’t afford a Western-style bus and their parents don’t have cars?
Now that I think about it, this isn’t so different from some of the public transportation used in India by the adults to get to work!
Is obviously a fail cuz each & evry one of those kids aint being driven to school in a Hummer or some other “safe” SUV, while eating cheese doodles.
:S
I’ve seen this before on another website, and they have more awesome fail pictures from India. This is from India actually – you can see New Delhi on the side of that yellow schoolbox.
Hm, India halfway developing in the rural areas, same as Africa, which is why you see contraptions like these. In Nepal, where there is more tradition and a hell lotta yaks, they probably use a bull-drawn cart… But maybe I’m just watching too much TV.
I’d like to know why the driver is standing idly by, potentially engaged in conversation, while he’s got a tin can full of kids he’s supposed to be towing.
Why is this fail? These poor kids are getting education and being transported on the way to the school. The alternative is walking a long way through dangerous traffic or worse not attend school and work instead. I can see such transportation may be viewed as humorous by ignorant Americans who has never left their country, but that does not mean this is fail.
Yeah, yeah, all of us here know that. We are here to have an enjoyable time together, and the picture gives us a place to start; to laugh, be silly, and have fun with each other. THAT is what FailBLOG is all about (note the heading of every comments section that says “x# Failures in communication.”) There are untold thousands of websites where you can go care, lament, and empathize to your heart’s content. This is not one of them. Laughter is the best medicine, and we specialize in it.
(Psst… not everyone here is American, nor are the Americans here ignorant. Well, the trolls are <ignorant.)
Yes, it’s all for fun. But Failblog has defined itself by showing photos and videos of things that are failed. This photo and http://failblog.org/2009/04/06/sink-design-fail/ which is also on the frontpage now is not a fail. The latter is a “win” if you ask me. Maybe Failblog should change it’s name to WTFBlog or FunnyBlog or something?
just in case you were wondering, the hebrew on the window says, basically “ïf you chose to come to baba (the name of the shop) then you made the right choice”.
a literal translation wouldn’t make sense..it’s a saying in hebrew..
I don’t get why this is a fail? Is it because third world countries are so much poorer than the United States? If you’re going to make fun of them, have a better reason; this is a good reason why I’ve never liked this site.
There are a lot of countries where even going to school is considered a great privilege, or a miracle. They dont have time to care about school-bus, they have lot more serious problems than that.
Maybe its a photoshop, but what i said is also true.
Okay… that’s not a fail! That’s sad, that’s how they live. I love this website, but I think it’s really irresponsible of the administrators to show this, a culture being mocked.
Not really fair. India is doing the best they can with their resources. They’re the second most populated country in the world; obviously there will be lots of poverty.
This is a very common sight in India,specially back-ward hell like BIHAR. The school i used to had lotsa buses but the kids who couldnt afford the monthly bus fees of Rs200 had to take these “rickshaws”. They usually put no more than 6-7 (depending of kid’s age) as its illiegal to put more than that.
Maybe these kids just crammed themselves in for a funny snap.
Feel sad for them anyways
Notice that there is no more than 6 or 7 school bags These kids are just having fun while the rickshaw is parked.
If its was a snap of a “moving” rickshaw, that guys is going to JAIL. And New Delhi is friggin strict about child safety and traffic. Even if its crowded market area like Paharganj .
This is not a School Bus Fail. A School Bus Fail is when you give 50 kids a nice bus with air conditioning and comfortable seats and wonder why all the seats and past the 5th row are all scratched, ripped apart and scribbled over.
Thats all the kids deserve
Lol! No. That’s India. The school’s name (as written on the vehicle) means “Child Temple Public School” (translated as is). And it also clearly says it’s in New Delhi. That’s not in Afghanistan, isn’t it?

I posted a nice tutorial for to how to view avatars large, but FAILBLOG failed and ate it.
Simple version:
Click view, change “32&d” to “320&d” in address bar.
The result is 32 pixel avatar becomes 320 pixel avatar.

Clearly you’ve never been to India or you wouldn’t suggest this is photoshopped.
Ya guys, i hate to say, but this isnt fake. Wen I lived in India, I went to school in these things. (i was in 1st grade.) Pretty much a metal cage on the back of a rickshaw. Most schools in India can’t afford busses. And might i add, i went to one of the better private schools, but that was nearly a decade ago.
Win – I was thinking the same thing!
Even if it is Photoshop, that doesn’t excuse the fact that there are a bunch of children being hauled around in a tin can. Still a fail.

Thank you, i’m all happy to get my pedestal all by myself and not being surrounded by ignorant USAns. You are right. I feel no shame at all.
And have fun trying and make up for the biggest FAIL of all : the U.S.A.
then get off this website created by and hosted by the usa. and stop using your computer, also invented by the usa. f**king jackass
Hooray. A douchebag anti-American comment when it has nothing to do with the topic. So refreshing and original.
At least we stupid Americans never had a caste system which locked people into their places and deemed a huge percent of the population as worth less than garbage. Nor have we ever had an issue with women being the victims of acid attacks because they want to choose their own lives instead being forced into a pre-arranged marriage. We don’t have half of our population being malnourished, and all of our kids have access to schools. Are we rich? Damn straight we are, so our management system seems to be working a hell of a lot better than yours.
HISTORY FAIL
Agree. Where the f*ck did he get that information?
Nah – a win – it’s being crammed into a tin can and catching a ride to school wins over walking several miles. Buses and cabs and everything are crammed just like this.
I doubt the kids think they are being “hauled around in a tin can” more like “being transported to school with their friends instead of having to walk three miles in flip flops”
Besides, they look quite happy!
It also looks like they are locked inside as well (look at the backmost window)(
I though you were joking the first time, but now you continue to do it. Seriously? That’s what you want to do here? Always try to be first and bash the person who managed to beat you?
Yes. The voices tell him to do it.
No, the Leprechaun tells him to do it.
So Sam = Ralph Wiggum! Bingo! Hobbes, you’ve solved the mystery of who Sam is!
It’s not really a mystery if you’ve known him for a year.
It was the worst year of my life.

I CANT FIND MY COMMENT. D:
gee. so you’re the first one to comment on a picture that says “fail” on it. your parents must be so proud of you. let me guess, when you’re the first one to take a crap in the morning, you yell “FIRST!”, which wakes everyone else up in the house, thus cementing your “awesomeness”. is it really necessary to let everyone know that you’re “first” in everything you do, or do you just have such a ridiculous ego that we’re all just supposed to think you’re “badass” just because you’re “first”?
Haha! I wich i had that in my school!
I think you mean wish
How is this a fail?
I think you may need a trip to the psychaitrist’s.
Why?
Because you can’t see how cramped, dirty and traumatic for the children it must be for them to be wheeled around in such a claustrophibia-inducing cart.
They look so happy!
They ≠ one child.
Oh… I did notice that.
Good. We’re getting somewhere.
Ok, now what?
Twister.
Hands Down.
fail usually entails making fun of something. i currently live in a third world country and its not cool to call poor means to transportation as a fail.. if anything, its a win for being creative enough with the little resources they do have and not being ashamed to do what they can to get those kids to school.

It’s comfortable, isnt it?
The psych couch? Sure, but I’m not sure why she makes me those dress-ups.
It’s like walking a mile in someone else’s shoes to see how they feel. Only kinkier.
Hi, Mikey!
I’m not talking to you, you punched me down below.
(that sounds more painful than I meant)
Well, you deserved it because you SQUEEZED my juicebox.
So why does she dress-up too?
(Morning Mr Moomin!)
What?
To help you get into the role. It’s immersion therapy, she dominates the reality.
(Afternoon DrB, keeping well?)
She keeps calling me a bad boy
. But she insists on 3 hour sessions and doesn’t charge, so it’s not all bad, I guess.
(I am! Hope you’re well too! Night!)
Well, yes. But that’s not the point.
Sorry…
S’ok
While this fail is one big *squeeze*, I won’t push you into the bus to get it. You get your very own *SQUEEZE*.
I fail to see the humor in making fun of those who lives in a disadvantaged environment and making the best of what they have so that the next generation might have a chance of a better life and country.
Outsourcing Win! They will have the jobs that all the self-righteous, entitled western kids thought were waiting for them.
Oh yeah, I just love talking to people in India when I have a technical problem. I love the fact that they keep passing me along to their “supervisors” Oh how I love Dell Hell. Good for them, because I certainly wouldn’t want to speak to a self righteous native English speaker who might actually understand my questions.
Actually I don’t see this picture as a fail. I think its great that these kids are being driven (instead of having to walk) to their school. They actually are getting an education. Things could be worse and for many people they actually are.
So here is the question. Why is it bad to live in a country where people had some sense of security that they could earn a living and not be starving to death in filth. I did customer service for a while. Let me tell you, it didn’t pay all that well. A couple dollars above McDonald’s.
My guess is that it costs even less for a company like Dell to outsource their customer service to places like India, than it would cost to pay self-righteous entitled western kids to do the job stateside. That must mean that the people in India are getting paid even less than the barely livable income a customer service rep gets in the states. I am having a real hard time seeing the WIN in your comment.
Customer service beats rolling beedis.
BOGGY ROLLS BEETLES and EATS THEM! YUM!It’s win, because the western bastard-children who think they deserve everything will actually have to WORK to get a job, and not have it handed to them on a silver platter.
Ok, either you are pathetically prejudiced, with little or no education-I’m guessing the television is your main source of information about the outside world- or you are a troll.
…Or???
Yeah, screw those western bastard-children! Let them eat cheese doodles.
*channels her inner Homer Simpson* Mmm, cheese doodles! *drools*
It’s a win for those little kids, because they are willing to pile into a crowded rickshaw and go to a 3rd world school and earn something for themselves while a bunch of pimply, fat ass american kids sit in front of their computers and make fun of them for being poor, as if they did something right to be lucky enough not be born a rat-hunter at a garbage dump in Mumbai.
Also, although I’ve had some bad phone center service from India, I’ve never had anyone be rude or act put out like many of the American customer service reps I’ve run into.
Namaste.
I agree.
why, cause it’s different?
Bike WIN!
and cyclist win!
even if those are little kids, they are probably heavy
Yeah, I like his top. Not sure about his trousers though. Jeans would look better.
He got it goin’ on.
Might look better in biker leather and a German helmet with a spike on top, though.
Including the chaps?
Well, at least one of them is laughing.
Most likely a sign of hysteria.
I wonder what a “medium co-education” is.
It’s all boys, but some mannish-looking girls are allowed.
Medium refers to what language their education is done in. So in this case, their primary language would be English. Co-education is a school that’s of mixed gender.
And yes this picture is real, I’m not from India, but I have lived there. Unfortunately many kids are in this kind of situation, and it’s not funny, they may look happy, but I guess they don’t know any better, the people do the best they can with what they got.
They’re probably happy that they are at least getting an education, unlike lots of children their age and even younger in that part of the world who have to work.
And they are being transported in a way that does not pollute or use up finite natural resources.
When they see how Americans travel to school, they’ll shit bricks
Why?
Duh – building material. Non Americans are all magical – everything they do is purposeful and deeply meaningful. Haven’t you been reading Homer’s comments?
Really? Why do I not have a magic power then?
You have the power of the power of blue.
And I’m 100% certain that he would agree!
*SMOOCHES*
When you do what you do to me, it sure feels like magic!
If Tyler Cannon was on that bus, he’d be shitting bucks!
If he’s a cannon, wouldn’t he be shooting bricks?
Understanding reference to antique fail FAIL
Antiques are ALL photoshopped.
Actually, back in the day they were airbrushed…
This is not fail, this is win. Talking about making those kids fit in that trasportation.
I can still see quite a lot of free space, so it’s not really a win.
Can someone explain why there’s always 5000 comments on a picture but all of them seem to be just wasted space?????
The last two words in your sentence describe you perfectly.
They’re not wasted space. You’re just too lazy to read them.
*wastes more space making a long reply*
tl;dr
Meh, he just cut and pasted it from wikipedia.
Because we’re all attention whores. Somone pointed that out a couple fails ago.
So when do we get paid goddamit? I got accident kids to feed.
Sounds like you need the type of kids that are eaten for free, Moomin.
But I agree. I don’t have any kids, but Pooptarts aint free!
You can make you own.
1. staple two slices of bread together, but only on three sides.
2. poop.
3. safety.
4. ???
5. Wake up in hospital.
I might have to! ‘Cause this attention-whoring thing just isn’t bringing in the money like I thought it would. 5 (or 4) steps to make Pooptarts sounds like a lot for me, though. My attention span starts to decline if I’ve got to microwave something, take it out and stir, then put it back in the microwave again. Too many steps.
I like it when the instructions say ‘peel back lid, stir, recover’.
You need to, that stirring can take it out of you.
It sure does. And the ones where you cook on high power for so many minutes, stir, recover, then have to put back and cook more on 50% power?? Grrr. WAY too many steps. I eat them half frozen; sort of like a popsicle entre. Or, depending on what it is, a poopsicle entre.
BOGGY juss mycrowaves eber thing for sames time!
CEPT 4 POPCORMS! BOGGY push 3 2 1 startsBOGGY push 7 8 9 START!
WORKES EBERY TIMES!!
BOGGY, you ever microwave trolls after you stomp them flat? Does 789 START work for them?
I would think that it does.
it duz
It’s truly sad that so many of my recipes start with, “Remove product from box.”
I’d have to agree, most of them seem to be non-sense, but I guess if the posters are having fun, then it’s not really a waste of space.
environmental win
Plenty room in there for a few more, look how much bag space there is on the roof. Bless them

Why is the writing on the door in hebrew?
that looks like india or something
^Probably failed to notice the “Delhi” written on the carrier.
הרבה ישראלים באים שם לחופש אז שמים שלטים בעברית
:THINKS: probably just a nice Jewish Merchant.
I was wondering the same thing…
fake
You’re fake.
This is absolutely photoshopped.
Plz STFU.
This comment was photoshopped.
The bus is fake.
Its just the cover of the child dealer.
he was photoshopped too?
gosh.
Note to viewers at home: this portion of FAILblog comment was photoshopped. Omer is fake, you can tell by the shadows in his “avatar”.
Ha!
You don’t even know what you’re talking about.
*points at Omer*
IT’S NOT NICE TO POINT AT PEOPLE! STOP POINTING AT PEOPLE!!!!
Shh, shh. Inside voices. *hands juicebox*
It’s ok, it’s ok.
WHAT’S AN INSIDE VOICE?!? CAN I HAVE A JUICEBOX TOO?!?!?!
*throws juicebox at rox*
Fine, more juiceboxes for me.
AND NONE FOR ANYONE ELSE.
*Kicks Rox* *Steals juicebox back*
You don’t play nice.
So?
A needle pulling thread.
School? Meh. They just write that on the side of the pie factory cart – they go quieter that way.
Of course! If I saw the word ‘pie’ I would be shrieking with delight! Writing school is much smarter- no one likes school.
Awwww you poor jaded soul…have a bad time at school, hey?
The boi I lyk wont even talk to me! IT’S LYK I DONT EXIST. And the teachers are mean! They wont let me text, even though, it’s lyk, totlly important. They’re just mean and out to get me!!!1!!
Imma go write in my livejournal about it now.
Hehe, okay
.
It used to say ‘neutering cart’, but that didn’t work too well either!
Oh oops, now I understand your comment! Sorry!
Eh. I went with it.
*shares juicebox*
Very nice rolling indeed.
*slurp, slup, pass*
OMG a child dealer
I know! It’s you!
I’m calling Interpol!
If you all look you can see the bus is locked.(look at the left of the bus)
So you don’t lock your doors when you go in a car? Goodness, why haven’t you been banned from driving?
but its freakin locked by a key so they couldn’t get out.
I don’t have a license BTW.
Yes, but if it was unlocked they would fall into the road. Why can’t you understand that?
Or maybe its locked because he owns them
He’s a child pedaler, not a child peddler.
Fall? More like explode onto the road being packed so tight! Looks like they had no choice but to lock it. It’s probably the safest way to transport kids packed like sardines.
Maybe this is just the vendor who delivers the food to the restaurant where children are eaten for free. Maybe.
And for dessert: Pooptarts, of course.
the moral: Private School is better.
Now that is President Messiah’s example of new Green Jobs (even if it isn’t here yet, it is coming)
You McCain supporters never give up, do you?
Nope, the republicans ain’t quitters! Even when their party is crumbling around them.
Sounds like the Labour Party.
(How are you Loz? Have you been busy?)
I often wonder if I’ll ever live to see the Lib Dems get voted in. Probably not
been busy with uni yeah. How are you?)
(I’m very well thank you BFF
I’m afraid it will probably be a perpetual Tory-Labour cycle until someone really charismatic leads the Lib – Dems.
(I’m great too. GCSEs coming up in a year so I really should study :p )
Aww GCSEs! Sure a year is long enough, start worrying in September.
As I recall, they weren’t all that challenging after the fear-mongering of the teachers.
Really? So all this Easter homework is just…extra work? Curse them!
Yep! It’s just them fulfilling their sadistic desires. You’ll get used to it.
Grrr!!! I thought as much. Are the teachers at uni harsher than at secondary school?
In terms of sadism, yes. But they’re significantly less strict at the same time. It makes no different to them whether you show up and do the work or not, the responsibility is all yours. You’ll love it!
Ah, more liberty. That sounds like a good thing, but I have a feeling this is a false sense of security.
Ahem.
*taps foot and raises eyebrow*
I got a new computer and failblog is functioning as it should again!
Everyone cheer! Let me behold your resplendent avatars!
GREAT JOB! *High fives Loz*
Behold away!
Wow! *is dazzled*
BOO! Did BOGGY SCARES YOU?HA HA HA HAR HAR HAR HAR!!!!
Way to go, Loz! Whoo-hoo!
A new pc makes all the difference, doesn’t it? I will hopefully get a new pc in the next month.
Ooh
what type? My old laptop screen just died yesterday, so this new one was a rather rushed purchase. But it’s sexy and black and a Dell
I haven’t really decided yet. I have taken advice on the last 3 I bought, and was disappointed. *sigh* I am in quite a quandry as to what to buy. Either Dell, or HP. The OS is the puzzle. I have XP, and am confoozled about whether or not to get Vista. Some friends tell me they have no problems with it, others hate it. What to do, what to do…? I just dunno.
Well, I had XP and was really hesitant about getting Vista because it seemed so user-unfriendly. But I had no choice because XP isn’t really available anymore and Windows 7 isn’t out til September.
But after a day of playing around with Vista, tweaking it to be slightly less annoying, I’m actually pretty happy with it! It takes some getting used to and eats up a fair bit of RAM but it’s not as bad as I’d expected. So I’d say go for it!
It will take you time to find the downsides of Vista. It doesn’t work with a lot of programs, it will start crashing more and more, stuff like that. I was happy with it in the first couple of weeks, but then the problems start.
Just like a marriage then?
Oh no
I’ve been running Vista for over a year now, and after a few fits and starts (and a bit of tweaking on my part) I haven’t had any problems with it.
I liked MS-DOS 6.2 with Windows for Workgroups 3.11, after that it all went downhill.
Roffle. Yeah, that’s totally where it was at.
If you want to work on your computer, get a PC and (try to) run some version of Windows.
If you want to get work done with your computer, get a Mac.
And the latest virus tally is in:
Windows: ~90,000
Mac: 0
Macs are overpriced (and you’re only paying for the privilege of looking like a poser)
Plus they’re not compatible with a lot of programs.
*Begs to differ*
Yes the platform is more expensive. However, all major programs are supported and the ones that aren’t can be translated easily. I know because I live in this world and receive files daily from PC users.
Further, my own 7+ year old Mac continues to operate flawlessly without any of the 3-year self-destruct features of the Windows machine. Just ask my sister who is on her 3rd PC.
No viruses, worms, Trojan Horses, and given equal clock speeds it out performs the PC.
I don’t have to optimize my drives any more and the print-to-pdf function is built in to the OS. No “Distiller” needed.
Last week I was burning a DVD, uploading a 100MB+ file, running a 1/2 hour print job and working on a big Photoshop poster all at the same time, on my Mac.
Try that on your PC.
Yay!
Juiceboxes for everyone!
*Kicks Rox again* GIVE ME MY JUCEBOX!!!!
Sorry, all out. Try again later.
Who cares? I threw my juicebox at you, and now i want it back!
YOU LOST YOUR CHANCE.
NO JUICEBOX FOR YOU.
*sips*
*Goes to fridge* *Takes juicebox*
Well played, my friend.
I salute you.
*drinks juicebox*
*SQUEEZES juicebox so it sprays Hobbes*
Rox made me do it!
*flees*
*punches Mikey HARD*
Wah!
*skids across floor on juice mess*
I really need to remember to not give any of you sugar.
Me or Hobbes?
Oops.
Me, Hobbes or The Moomin?
Me, Zurack, or Mikey D?
*pumps the ABBA*
Woo! Welcome back!
This may be even more of a fail than it seems at first glance – that’s not the school bus…that’s the school itself.
“The captain has turned off the ‘Fasten Seat Belt’ sign, so please feel free to move about the cabin if….oh, no… no wait. Um, never mind.”
The one kid looks happy! …and the one next to him looks how he should look, very scared
He’s the one that paid for all the other kids to be kidnapped.

(59.6 wpm, I’m above average
I got 85.8. Not too bad I suppose.
Sorry; wasn’t trying to beat you. Just wanted to see; it’s been a while since I’ve done one of those.
Just don’t bring the average up
Naw, no chance of that happening. I’ve had enough of the test for now. I do typing for a living so I probably could avoid more speed/accuracy testing for this weekend and not miss it; I get enough of it for 40+ hrs/week!
And it’s a piece rate kind of thing, with errors lowering the $$. So I’ve got a pretty good incentive to be fast and accurate. I’d like to be faster, of course.
(More-info-than-you-wanted-to-know-fail. I was still coming down from a typing buzz from that speed test.
Is it bad if I’m ranked 1st of my country?
Bad? It’s great! You get the key to the city….er, I mean, country. And I think a tickertape parade is in order too.
That’s kinda sad…imagine the classrooms…
Yay; just got a 90.6. A little better. I’ll leave it at that. Cool test. A little weird with the words moving like that, but still cool.
Let’s do a multiplayer match! Check my room!
how is that fail? thats supposed to be a win.
Pics like this make me glad I live in America.
I know eh…Australia would never consider public transport like this for kids.
Environmental win?
Indeed. I think this is pretty awesome.
I actually think that this one should be removed.
They re doing what they can with what they have.
EPIC WIN!!!
LOL, priceless dude. Thats too funny!
RT
http://www.anon-tools.cz.tc
can you imagine what the short bus looks like?
LOL
Why are so many pictures on Failblog just simply not fail. Obviously this, if it’s even real, is from a not totally developed country doing what they can. I see no fail.
Absolutely. It’s an eco-friendly win. Bit of a cultural awareness fail too- I believe those things are fairly common and unremarkable…
I definitely agree with ghouck. I was going to say the same thing! This country obviously just doesn’t have a ton of money, and I see no fail in trying to get these kids to school any way they can!
Then why bother looking at it!? I would have rather been crammed in a tin can than had to stand in -10′f for 30min waiting for the bus at 5am. Wonders of living in the middle of nowhere…
But still, that looks impractical, as the load appears too great for the vehicle. Imagine the stopping distance on that bike, let alone the effort to get it moving at all!
I got a giggle anyways…
Exactly what I was thinking. What are they supposed to do, make them all walk a mile to school because they can’t afford a Western-style bus and their parents don’t have cars?
Now that I think about it, this isn’t so different from some of the public transportation used in India by the adults to get to work!
Is obviously a fail cuz each & evry one of those kids aint being driven to school in a Hummer or some other “safe” SUV, while eating cheese doodles.
:S
is the door locked? that would be sweet. i wonder if the guy that took the photo stopped to ask the children if they liked it better than walking…
The bus driver must have legs of titanium. I wonder if he is Lance Armstrongs’ successor?
Pffft, that’s nothing compared to my school’s condition…
What country is that, by the way?
the country is Nepal, and it is still developing, so the fact that all they have is school buses attached to bikes is not really all that funny
This is not Nepal but India. See the school address, it mentions New Delhi, capital of India (my country)
This is what happens in my country (India) and it’s not a bus anyways. We call it “bagghi”…. Whatever!
I’ve seen this before on another website, and they have more awesome fail pictures from India. This is from India actually – you can see New Delhi on the side of that yellow schoolbox.
Hm, India halfway developing in the rural areas, same as Africa, which is why you see contraptions like these. In Nepal, where there is more tradition and a hell lotta yaks, they probably use a bull-drawn cart… But maybe I’m just watching too much TV.
I would like to see this thing going uphill
To be politically correct, apparently you cannot call something a “fail” if the person/organization/country is doing the best they can.
Discuss…
Agreed, 100 percent!
Oh, gawd…you’re calling out the caretrolls. I’m going to go hide now.
*flees*
I’d like to know why the driver is standing idly by, potentially engaged in conversation, while he’s got a tin can full of kids he’s supposed to be towing.
He also works tech support, and he just got a call on his cell phone, so it would be illegal to keep driving until he’s finished the call.
that’s really more sad than funny, to be honest. not funny at all.
Why is this fail? These poor kids are getting education and being transported on the way to the school. The alternative is walking a long way through dangerous traffic or worse not attend school and work instead. I can see such transportation may be viewed as humorous by ignorant Americans who has never left their country, but that does not mean this is fail.
Yeah, yeah, all of us here know that.
We are here to have an enjoyable time together, and the picture gives us a place to start; to laugh, be silly, and have fun with each other. THAT is what FailBLOG is all about (note the heading of every comments section that says “x# Failures in communication.”) There are untold thousands of websites where you can go care, lament, and empathize to your heart’s content. This is not one of them. Laughter is the best medicine, and we specialize in it. 
(Psst… not everyone here is American, nor are the Americans here ignorant. Well, the trolls are <ignorant.)
Yes, it’s all for fun. But Failblog has defined itself by showing photos and videos of things that are failed. This photo and http://failblog.org/2009/04/06/sink-design-fail/ which is also on the frontpage now is not a fail. The latter is a “win” if you ask me. Maybe Failblog should change it’s name to WTFBlog or FunnyBlog or something?
This reminds me of the old ISIRTA joke:
“Why are you riding that ?”
“Oh, it’s quicker than walking”
OK, HTML tags don’t work here. I’ll try again.

lol this happens all over india, it only happens at schools which r small
just in case you were wondering, the hebrew on the window says, basically “ïf you chose to come to baba (the name of the shop) then you made the right choice”.
a literal translation wouldn’t make sense..it’s a saying in hebrew..
I’m not sure this is a fail, cause this might be in a place where they can’t afford real buses.
main bazar in pahar ganj!!!!!!!
It’ shopped cause all the signs around it are in hebrew but the cart says it’s in New Delhi.
the writing is in hebrew but it takes place in india where many israelis visit.
And I thought the Philippines (my home country) had it bad…-_-
I don’t get why this is a fail? Is it because third world countries are so much poorer than the United States? If you’re going to make fun of them, have a better reason; this is a good reason why I’ve never liked this site.
its fail because their school bus doesn’t look like our school buses.. silly third world, when will they ever learn..
lol the magic school bicycle
Holy crap and I thought I had it bad..
This is not fail, this is poverty.
There are a lot of countries where even going to school is considered a great privilege, or a miracle. They dont have time to care about school-bus, they have lot more serious problems than that.
Maybe its a photoshop, but what i said is also true.
Okay… that’s not a fail! That’s sad, that’s how they live. I love this website, but I think it’s really irresponsible of the administrators to show this, a culture being mocked.
people shouldn’t be joking about this sort of thing
KIDS FOR SALE, I GOT FRESH KIDS FOR SALE, GET EM WHILE THEIR HOT! KIDS FOR SALE…
And this, my friends, is an environmentalist’s wet dream.

UN tries to propagate that we are all the same. Are we? There are a lot of these examples where somebody is living from $1 per day. It is FAIL.
Not really fair. India is doing the best they can with their resources. They’re the second most populated country in the world; obviously there will be lots of poverty.

Уважаемый автор, а вы случайно не из Москвы?
Reminds me of my own bus trips to school. The bus was always packed (maybe not this bad, though…)
This is a very common sight in India,specially back-ward hell like BIHAR. The school i used to had lotsa buses but the kids who couldnt afford the monthly bus fees of Rs200 had to take these “rickshaws”. They usually put no more than 6-7 (depending of kid’s age) as its illiegal to put more than that.
Maybe these kids just crammed themselves in for a funny snap.
Feel sad for them anyways
Notice that there is no more than 6 or 7 school bags
These kids are just having fun while the rickshaw is parked.
If its was a snap of a “moving” rickshaw, that guys is going to JAIL. And New Delhi is friggin strict about child safety and traffic. Even if its crowded market area like Paharganj .
kfemd;mod
How odd that there is Hebrew on the shop behind the ‘bus’ in New Delhi.
This is not a School Bus Fail. A School Bus Fail is when you give 50 kids a nice bus with air conditioning and comfortable seats and wonder why all the seats and past the 5th row are all scratched, ripped apart and scribbled over.
Thats all the kids deserve
Earth Day win.
This is sad.
Was this that in Florida?
The bars on the bus go up and down, up and down, up and down, the bars on the bus go up and down…
thats really sad..lol
thats sad but funny..lol

Kidburger or burgerkids
WIN. I hate kiddies.
Afghanistan?
Lol! No. That’s India. The school’s name (as written on the vehicle) means “Child Temple Public School” (translated as is). And it also clearly says it’s in New Delhi. That’s not in Afghanistan, isn’t it?
that was lol funny
