    Incest win?

  2. Judy says:

    Awkward choice of titles…

  3. BMitt says:

    LOLwut????

  4. LEILA says:

    Publisher / proofreader FAIL!!!!!

  5. Blue2thFairy says:

    Protestant Power for the best dad ever!

  6. sweethooligan says:

    i love my daddy

  7. Haha that is a little weird isn’t it, Dad and lover in the same sentence lol Great blog btw!

  8. Marius says:

    This must be the Virginia tourism guide.

  9. Starfish says:

    I’m super glad I had the worst dad ever.

  10. LEILA says:

    I gave the title a little thought. Perhaps it is attempting to capture the idea of a girl using her father as a role model when it comes to her mate. Maybe there are qualities in her dad she would like her lover to have. I hope I made some sense.

  11. kuwarudo says:

    Damn it. I can’t relate one bit.

  12. Stevie Janowski says:

    WOW! Theres actually about 10 posts that have to do with the picture instead of 1 or 2. Thats a first! The ratio is usually around 200 to 1. Nobody cares about your lives… if we did, you’d be famous!

    • velvet says:

      Aaaandd, I think we have our first Spring Break kid here! Welcome! Enjoy your week here.

      • brewster85 says:

        What’s that Stevie? My life? Sure, no problem. Lessee, I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, on the porch with my family, singin and dancin down in Mississippi. But it’s okay being poor, because all I need is this ashtray, this paddle game, this remote control, and failblog. That’s all I need.
        And these matches.

    • LEILA says:

      Stevie hurt all my two feelings. :(

    • Sparky, Attention Whore/Wonder Dog says:

      Ah, our lives. My life. How do I begin? Where do I start. When will it all end? How do I begin to start to tell the tale of a life so full of life? Maybe I should write a book. (Oops, that almost had something to do with the picture, didn’t it? Sorry; I’ll try to watch that from now on.)

    • Arthur Eld says:

      You’re here often enough to make a statement about the related/unrelated ratio, which means you’re usually reading all the comments. Then you complain. I have a suggestion for you:

      Don’t read the comments (easy to avoid them, just don’t click on the link to the comment section).

      BTW, you didn’t say anything related to the fail. Just sayin’.

    • willdog says:

      How many things are there to say about a book titled “The best dad is a good lover”? It kind of gets old after a while. I have an idea for you, don’t read any comments replied to another comment, only the first ones. You’ll notice more relevant comments. The option that says “reply to this comment” means it doesn’t actually have to be a reply to the fail itself, only that comment.

  13. monnanon says:

    or maybe its missing words like
    The best (FUTURE) dad is a good lover
    er….
    something along the lines of if he is a good lover then he would be a good father of your children.

    ah my brain hurts, the book title is so wrong.

  14. less says:

    Now i see that in the picture, there is a kid between them (see the hair?) that means the best dad (aka the father of your children) = a great lover (your husband).

    Still fail.

  15. omg… the title and the cover… I don’t want to open the book.

  16. n00bMuffin says:

    Well, it’s no wonder he’s a good lover!

  17. kannadzuki says:

    AND a Wunder Boner, of course.

  18. Malicite says:

    Welp, someone should get fired.

  19. Bo says:

    I swear I’ve seen this before…

  20. Mouserz says:

    dear sweet jesus…

  21. DangNabbit says:

    WHY CHARLIE SHEDD ………WHY ????!!! O__o

    …….and also -how the hell did he manage to get a doctorite ?? he cant even proof reed !!!!

  22. DangNabbit says:

    read*

  23. Sparky, Attention Whore/Wonder Dog says:

    I wonder if he wrote this book in a shed. Or if he has two sheds.

  24. willdog says:

    Shouldn’t it be the other way around? A good lover is a good father? You’ve got to have some lovin’ before you can be a father.

  25. willdog says:

    Oh shit, I’ve got the Quiznos torpedo ad again.

  26. fpelayo says:

    The book’s apparently from 1977. I hope this isn’t what people refer to when they mention the good ol’ days. ^^;;

    Also the author seemed to mostly write family and self-help books. (clicky my name to see what I got thru Google)

  27. technicolor says:

    All aboard the incest orgy train.
    toot toot!!!

  28. latenite says:

    Geez! If the bad Photoshop job doesn’t give this hoax away, a quick search on Amazon should.

  29. Unbeliever says:

    This leaves me speechless

  30. Joe Momma says:

    This is actually a joke, there’s a few in the ’series’. The other one is “It’s your fault mommy and daddy are divorced”.

  31. TCO says:

    First!!!!!…

    ..


    not

  32. dude says:

    In a way this makes sense. I mean if you can even please your daughter in that department you are in a way the best dad. But the one most likely to go to hell. But yeah it makes sense.

  33. G-Dog says:

    fake

  34. Hey my pic made fail blog! You can find the original here:

  35. Anna says:

    …ew, seriously.

  36. HooWuzDatMaskMan? says:

    That’s just gotta be from a Christian Book Publisher and was shipped directly to a Christian book store to be bought by some well-meaning God-fearing auntie to give to her Sunday-school attending niece to help said niece whose having frequent arguments with daddy lay-preacher on how horrible her teenage years are and have that book wind up in a Salvation Army Store (wait, gotta take a breath….) for that book to have NO ONE notice that there might be anything nasty or creepy or unpleasant or traumatic about that title, especially juxtaposed with that picture. I can think of no other way a book could find its way past so many people who are that damn naive and have absolutely NO SENSE OF IRONY at ALL…. (and they’d fail to get that “daddy lay-preacher” pun/joke, even in light of the book title….)

    Jeezus Gawd Jeehovuh, whut have you wrought?

    What’s most depressing about this is I live amongst a very large population of these kinds of people. In a state you folks mentioned above in your comments. I’d be ROFL’ing at this if reality hadn’t doped-slapped me upside the head and left me big ol’ knot on my head…. I gotta get soused.

  37. Dan says:

    That’s right. If he was bad…he’d have no kids to begin with.

  38. Eh. It’s from the 70s – not that incest and pedophilia didn’t exist then, but the “Good Lover” part wouldn’t have seemed quite so icky at the time. Pedophiliac priests, monster dads, all the stuff we see on the Internet everyday – it just wasn’t on the public radar back then. The culture wasn’t nearly as sexually aware as it is now – it’s almost impossible to explain the difference to someone born after, say, 1980.

    It’s a good example of pop psychology/human sexuality literature of the time, very hip n groovy by 70s standards. And remember that at that time, mainstream books dealing with sexuality in a positive, normal way, were still very new and daring.

    Maxim magazine sometimes runs a feature with old advertisements that, while perfectly innocent by the standards of their day, sound perverse or titillating or icky in today’s terms. This is like that.

    I was a kid in the 70s, which I suspect makes me old around here.

  39. jasonmrazrocks says:

    Cover you’re mouth

    2. Make a wish into hand

    3. Close hand (Make hand into fist)

    4. Hold the fist against you’re heart for 5 seconds

    5. Repost this comment 3 times

    6. Tommorow will be the best day of you’re life

    • Acme220 says:

      there are a few typos there you need to address.
      close hand? Whose hand do you want me to close?
      also, you’re heart? as in You are heart?
      tommorow… Did you mean tomorrow?
      and finally, the best day of you’re life. The best day of you are life…

      Before trying to annoy others, please learn to spell.

  40. sirmaxx says:

    LOL! must be one hell of a raunchy book. that or we all just have dirty minds.

  41. Ellie says:

    I think the most disturbing part is that it was written by a doctor…

  42. VZG says:

    Tried to find info on the book (to find out exactly what the title was MEANT to mean) but the only things listing it besides links or references to this FB post are one eBay listing with no description of the book’s purpose. Even websites all about Dr. Shedd don’t have it listed — including those that actually sell his books. Huh.

    • phoenix mcm says:

      You got me curious and I found a sermon referencing this:
      “Guys, the best thing you can do as a father is to love your wife well. Someone has put it this way, ā€œThe best dad is a good lover.ā€ This is what Paul was talking about when he said in Ephesians 5:25, ā€œHusbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it.ā€ Charlie Shedd in his book, Promises to Peter, states, ā€œThe best thing I do for my children is to love their Mother well.ā€”

      Still pretty scary thinking to my pov.

      • VZG says:

        That’s what happens when a zealous churchgoer decides he knows what’s best for every family.

        Love your life well, and then the kids won’t mind that you beat them!

        Possibly I am slightly bitter towards the Church.

  43. gangbox says:

    This month’s selection from the NAMBLA Book Club!

  44. Annie says:

    Crap doesn’t anyone keep the discussion on the photo which we are commenting??? “Hey how was your weekend?” If you want to chat go on messanger or something. For christ’s sake you people are losers.

  45. The Jerk says:

    That is just not right!

  46. Justin says:

    Yes. That would be an Incest Win!

  47. Poo says:

    When I went to check if Amazon.com had any review of it, I found the failblog.org photo up there as the image of the book, complete with the “FAIL” in white lettering and everything. Heehee.

  48. reevesee says:

    ……says michael jackson to blanket

  49. Dave says:

    That book title is wrong. Everybody knows the best Mom (and her sister) is a hot lover who loves it in the pooper.

    Damn.

  50. Brandon says:

    I just checked it on Amazon.com. The picture they use there is this picture! It even has the FAIL and the failblog.org watermark!

  51. B. Coop says:

    This book just screams… “Papa NO!”

  52. Spencer Wise says:

    Librarien- This book is in the advice section. Hit the road.
