OMG! I have been lurking here off and on for a while, and I always wondered where everyone gets those cool patterned avatars. I just, this moment, realized where. D’oh!!
But the mush rooms make you huuuuuge… I love those little turtles. they’re SO fun to juuuummmpppp on!!!! Come here mr. Smileyface. If you don’t stop smilling, i’m gonna kiss you!
Yes, it’s a much better contribution to the discussion to b*tch at people about their lack of an avatar than it is to make a Celine Dion joke. Good call.
*has the editor in charge of this discussion sacked*
We would like to make it known, that we are in no way responsible for the discussion, and that those people who were have been sacked.
Well, I’m off to fix yet another email account in customer service (if they’d delete some of the emails every once in a while I wouldn’t have to do this as often).
.
Later! *SQUEEZE*
My computer still won’t let me do it so if you would, that would be fantastic! Ask if they can clear up some of todays fails too! Or give us just one more.
I think this is one of those situations where people put themselves in peril and any injuries that resulted are their own effing fault… not that that would dissuade them from suing I s’pose.
In my experience…the higher the peril, the greater the case reward.
Some idiot at a supermarket does a back flip on some wet floor tiles…$20,000.
Some larger idiot doing work on an elevated air condition unit, while drunk and without proper safety harnesses… 1 million.
The greater the lack of thought, the more substantial sum of money that is collected. Long story short? There is no such thing as justice.
Jules, a guy who worked for me long ago did the following, which I think you’ll appreciate, in a production program:
—–
Move “Fun” to Work
While Work = “Fun”
….
….
If PF8, move “No Fun” to Work
….
Exit
I still enjoy throwing little bits of crazy into work. Just last week I was making a part for a piece in a rotor called a button. While the piece I was making was a plug. So I named the Drawing “button plug”, but on one of our forms the name was too long so it got abbreviated. I took no notice since I was busy doing stuff for other projects. So when I took the purchase order to my manger to get him to sign off, he started to bust up laughing and he said “why are we making butt plugs?” To which I looked at him dumb founded for a second until I put 1 and 1 together and also bust up laughing.
Listen up you stupid son of a b*tch! I swear to god I will hunt you down and kill you with my bare hands if you don’t cut the sh*t. I don’t bother you in your ridiculous comments, so stay the f*ck out of mine!
And thanks, Dragon, but – umm – not that kinda wee.
Although, since GF’s mini pini DOES do that when she gets excited, I can certainly understand the cornfusion…
magnificent mr. cuddles (The Moomin's sidekick in all things Shenanigan) says:
Hey I’m from Mexico City too!! But that was a viral video in youtube called “El titanic Mexicano” that boats are also called “trajineras” and ammm anybody died…
It’s just funny!! lol
“My Heart Will Go On” is the theme song of the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic. With music by James Horner, lyrics by Will Jennings, and production by Walter Afanasieff, it was recorded by Céline Dion. Originally released in 1997 on Dion’s album Let’s Talk About Love, it went to number 1 all over the world, including the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. My Heart Will Go On was released in Australia and Germany on December 8, 1997, and in the rest of the world in January and February of 1998. It became one of the best-selling singles of all time, and was the world’s best selling single of 1998.
Why thank you McFail. Thank you.
She is, in fact, a bilingual artist who milked her French-speaking career into a dual-language career in order to become even more rich.
That’s a quote from Wikipedia if you must know (all of which is easily verified through other sources). However, if you were actually 28 you’d know this stuff. It was hard to miss back in the late 90′s unless you lived under a rock.
3th – start to swim as boat continues it’s roll on TOP of you. (Do realize that a lot of boats capsize and roll over 180 degree’s, in essence, putting everyone on board BELOW the boat…and in essence, TRAPPED)
4th – Nevermind. It’s pointless to assume that you will ever begin to realize that you’re not doing anything but proving your stupidity, one more post at a time.
Of course Darwin didn’t say that, but I’m sure Sam was referring to his “Survival of the Fittest” theory, which Hitler used extensively in his reign of terror.
Oh, and if you’re going to try and insult people, try using the correct grammar and spelling. Have a nice day .
If it’s survival of the fittest, which means “that which best fits into an environment”, Do we really need to worry bout this kind of stuff? After all, stupidity is usually rewarded with spectacular exits from life.
A most excellent point! Although, as a Christian, I’ve always been fond of the one where the bigger fish called TRUTH is eating the smaller Darwin fish
As a Christian, I never liked those.
It turned into somthing like:
"I've got a fish to represent the symbol that the early Christians used."
"Oh yeah, well I've got a fish with legs labeled 'Darwin'."
"OH YEAH, well my fish eats your fish!!"
That is too far. The best swimmers can drown in a flood. It's not the smae as a pool. My soccer coach drowned in flood we had a couple years ago. But I guess that a 12 year old girl wouldn't know these things.
Yeah I found a few others.^^^ I think we all owe FAIL Blog management a huge thank you. That must have taken a while to remove all those bullshit comments.
*Pulls out generic trophies for Failblog admin*
You can get them inscribed with whatever you want…examples include: “Best admin on the web,” “The Eraser: Admin of Comment Erasure,” or my personal favorite: “I am this awesome”
Fascinating to read this without the Sam comments–one can actually reconstruct them, having read the little cretin’s comments for a few days. Bravo to you all, and several big squeezes for vanquishing the foe!
Yay for syllogisms! I was always bad at logic, but this one definitely makes sense. Yup yup! I just forget the proper name for it…. uhhhh….
*thinks hard*
Well you could be out doing something better with your time. I troll at on time that someone else is using namely school. This isn’t a forum, because the comments will die off in a couple of hours.
Oh school uses up most of my time (which is very unneeded in this case because my school has lowered it’s standards for all of the morons in it) I wish it was more challenging because it’s so easy the work bores me.
Let me see if I’ve got this straight.
1) “Oh school uses up most of [your] time.” Is that a type of school one attends between, say, elementary and middle school? Or is “Oh” the actual name of your school? As in, “I attend Oh School, where do you go? Are you at Tsk School or are you over at Hmmm?”
2) Having posed that question, I’d like to ask this: Did you mean that it is Oh school or [your] time that is “unneeded”? And whether it’s one, the other or both, I find it compelling that the “unneeded” thing exists because [your] school has lowered it’s [ *it is?* = it's] standards for all of the morons in it.” Does that mean you . . . . mumblemumble*morons in it*mumblecough
Wait! I remember now: syllogism (FTW c/o DW)
*ahem* Carry on, carry on.
*We now return you to your regularly scheduled program*
I like confused. And you are the only person who seems to dislike my satiric comments. Either that or it failed to register that I was mocking the troll’s incessant and useless comments.
HAND. LOL.
can I just express my opinion real quick that putting a win on every video on here is stupid? this is failblog, not winblog. most of them aren’t even wins, like this one. we don’t need to see the same video played twice just for a stupid win to show up. it is dumb
I don’t know how often you come here, but every single video we usually get a troll called “…” that basically says this. So your comment won’t really be that effective and we don’t really care about the win thing, at least I don’t see a problem with it.
‘Cept for my comments for whatever reason. Sam’s comments were left intertwined with mine above, but that’s ok because he made himself look like an arse.
Can I come, too? Although I’ll BYOB (I’m a Bud Light gal). Also, if no one else has offered, I’d be pleased to bake your cake for the party in November. I assume you’re having a party – why else would one get a pony if not for some party fun?
I can’t speak for anyone else but I’m pretty sure I’m way over 8 years old. For example, I’m going to use my advanced adult logic to point out that you are posting on this website therefore you must be 8 or under too. If that is the case then kindly go play with your legos and let the grown ups chat.
I don’t know, I haven’t figured out which sci-fi fantasy movie I’m in yet. (The Invaders, Conspiracy Theory, The manchurian Candidate, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, or Enemy of the State)
Once, many many fails ago, an ENTIRE fail disappeared. It was there, then it was gone! I tried to get to via the “recent comments” box and nothing. Apparently the subject matter and the comments were particularly objectionable. Or it was a contest that somehow got out of hand, I don’t really remember what was up with that one. It would be like “Testimonial Fail” just disappearing.
We’ve had some trolls in the past that make todays annoyance look like nothing.
Trolls that personalized their attacks. That lurked about and used information you previously shared to insult you so as to as hurtful as possible. Several threads had to removed.
The very features that make a forum like this so great are exploited by the emotionally bereft. Some of Failblog’s greatest attractions are the fact that it is free, anonymous, and minimally moderated. Unfortunately, it is those very features that allow them to flourish.
I misread something in there and meant that it wasn’t ironic she was (or might have been) back. As for the avatar, it can take a few posts for those to kick in.
But that only solves the problem for him…if he uses the encyclopedia it helps everyone by ridding the world of another troll…either through the logic destroying it or the cruder method of bludgeoning it.
*shuffles music: “Ode to Joy”, followed by “The Radetsky March”, then “Rule Britannia”, “Stars and Stripes Forever” and a finale of “the 1812 Overture”.
*Pulls out encyclopedia set* I figure since trolls are allergic to logic this should help…and even if this one has somehow become tolerant to logic we can just use the encyclopedia and bludgeon it with them. Either way we win…
woah. I’d NOT want to fall in the water of Xochimilco.
I was actually there the other week an that water is seriously filled with dead fish.
luckily we were only 10 people on the boat ^^
I just got here. Does the erasure of identity that everyone is talking about have to do with a certain Dr. of Science? What happened? Was there a last straw? I want details!
Hand’s Avis I bottle of goo gone. This should help, as for the reddening of the skin, I suggest some aloe.
*cuts conveniently nearby aloe plant’s leaf.*
*hands to Avis*
Oh I got it this time, you two are sharpening my skills, so whats new on the day? or should I say night? (Its 9:56, i think Chicago’s in Torontos time zone if not an hour or two away)
Objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an equal or opposite object, that whole thing? Or how those very large men can throw each other around like that?
Well mostly the momentum really, dealing mostly with mass as a deciding factor of victory, that along with wits. You have to push the computer out of the center to gain points. Being in the center gains points until 1000 where you win. The problem is in the first level you are the same mass as the computer so you can’t just bully him away. Later levels you gain mass so with persistent pushing you can get him out. Though the rule you mentioned comes in with strategy because the computer on easy mode just charges for the center, if you move out of the way, he will be close to the edge to loose by the second condition, out of ring knockout. On the harder modes the computer will slow down as he approaches the center and then rely on resisting your pushes to win by points. A simple computer as we don’t have the time to make a fully functional AI. Though after handing in this assignment we plan on making the game harder with a full AI, as a summer project.
Yeah, um… I’m not at all computer savvy. Nor do I know much about sumo anything. But it certainly sounds like you’ve got your work cut out for you this summer! Good luck!
You are plenty savvy, don’t down play yourself. I don’t know much about real sumo wrestling, I just know physics and it was a good idea for the project he proposed.
Aww, you’re sweet! But I know what I know, and I don’t know much about computers. Food, books, those sorts of things, sure. But computers, not so much.
Hey, how much does the average person know about computers? Well I can tell you, that, since you can post recipes you know more than the average person. (Didn’t think I would know about that skill of yours.) So you do know enough about computers and your good at them. So nyah. Have some faith in yourself, I do and so do others, why must you be different.
Aww! You ARE sweet! I know enough about computers to get online and to post in my blog. I’m still trying to figure out how to post links on my blog, as in a bloglist. I want to link to ctf.org, and a couple others as well, but that may take a bit.
I don’t know if this is me being paranoid at myself, but it seems the moment I challenged “She who must not be named”, she reappeared. If I keep my mouth shut, then maybe she’ll stop coming.
I think failblog should post warnings for videos where people actually get seriously hurt / die … lots of the vids here are funny but many people don’t like seeing stuff this extreme.
There’s a big difference between seeing someone embarrass themselves doing something stupid, and seeing a bunch of people drown to death. I don’t want to have to avoid the entire site because of the occasional gruesome video but it would be nice to be warned so I could avoid those ones.
So read the comments first to find out what is being shown, then decide if you wish to watch it. Or really, go elsewhere. It’s not the responsibility of FailBlog to hold your hand and protect you from the big bad world.
I get what he’s saying, really I do. But how would one decide which pics an vids get warnings? If death occurs? If someone gets injured (if that’s the case every vid will need a warning)? Where do you draw the line? And who draws that line?
There are a lot of things that will never get shown for being too graphic, or too violent. And so there is some censorship going on, but how far do we take it?
Failblog leans that way, too. Failblog’s policy is to not show things that have caused actual serious injuries or deaths. I’m guessing this one slipped through that filter.
But. Just because someone dies doesn’t make it less of a fail.
Fail is fail is fail.
Mortality or not.
I think there’s a Venn diagram somewhere showing the intersection of FAIOL ain Darwin awards.
No, I don’t know anything about it, just based on user comments and the content of the video, there were definitely people inside the boat when it went down.
“videos where people actually get seriously hurt / die”
Agreed, that’s where the fun stops (well, if I’m not in the cynicism mood anyway). I don’t think you’d need a special warning, since you can’t even turn on the news without seeing people die – that’s life (well, or not). But generally, you’re right.
Well, only one of countless paradoxons (claiming superb intellect because of having been first – or the impressive skill of owning an avatar)… but what else did you expect of a true troll stereotype? No point in getting really agitated about what some random idiot says, especially not over the internet oO
Oh yeah, sorry about the sudden randomness of my comment; it would’ve gone better towards the beginning. However, I don’t have the luxury of deciding where my comments go
Erm… people better not have died, I swear. It looked like they would have got out okay but I just commented wittingly here/faved it on YouTube. Nothing personal, but I really hope Failblog didn’t cross that line… I’ll be mighty pissed off.
Well, I obviously fail at life.
I couldn’t have named a Celine Dion song to save myself.
I know who she is, of course, and have groaned and cringed at that AC/DC cover she did on YouTube (do yourself a favour, DON’T look it up), but if the criteria for life success is knowledge of C.Dion music or mawkish films, then I concede.
But then again, being a 3000-year-old severed head wth snakes for hair probably counts as a fail anyway…
I’ve been to Xochimilco and the boats always seemed rickety and ready to fall over with just the normal dozen people. I couldn’t imagine one with THAT many people…until now. Hilarious!
Wow. From the look of it, a lot of people drowned in this accident (being trapped in a quickly sinking structure in murky water with lots of people panicking around you – I would guess, only have of the people on the inside survived).
What the hell is wrong with the guy who posted this???
Disculpen, espero puedan entenderme, posiblemente tenga errores si manifiesto mi sentir en inglés. Soy un periodista mexicano, y a pesar de que me encante su blog, ciertamente en este lugar murió gente. Se me hace de pésimo gusto que publiquen algo así, les solicito muy atentamente que retiren su video. Gracias.
In resume.
People die in this accident… I ask you to remove the video from your page.
My troll senses are tingling. There is a troll around here. One that doesn’t know the ways of respect and niceness. One who doesn’t know what subtlety is. Sadly, Godwin’s law has already gone into effect below, which is in very, very bad taste.
*waits for it*
There it is!!
Disturbing, isn’t it?
It is quite predictable…
On a side note: I think I shall leave my avatar alone as a sort of bug zapper.
AHA!! I wondered where that strange background hum was coming from!
*zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz* *BZZT*
Got another one!
*puts Noghri on my cool people list*
Yeah! *Jumps for joy*
*slides safety net under Noghri, just in case*
I’m wondering what could possibly happen from me jumping where I would need a safety net?
Because no one has ever successfully made the jump the first time.
*steps to the right*
with your hands on your hips?
Would you bend those knees in time?
But it’s the pelvic thrust that puts the boat in the drain-yay-yay-yay-i-yane.
We-shoulda
Used-the
Bilge-pump
AgaaaaaiiIIIINNNN!!!
*throws toast and rice*
Bravo!
I love this friggin’ site!
It’s a long way down from cloud nine.
A safety net is always good, its there for safety and nothing else. Where was the safety net for these boats?
1.Start engine
2.Celine Dion
3.Safety
4.???
5.profit
I ate it!
Hey I wanted some…
*squeeze*
Rose: [letting go of Jack's hand] I’ll never let go, Jack. I promise.

Hmm… what about the people under the canvas roof? Wonder if anyone drown here…
Actually as far as I know there were two deaths there.. of course both drowned.. lol..
1 dead, male around 20-22 yrs old i think, college student from IPN if im not mistaken…
I found something you FBers might enjoy.
Clicky!
Get a life or don’t be first.
That means you, Sam.
Ka-Bong!
i miss sam
…and the intelligence in the room has suddenly plummeted.
I would never have believed it if I hadn’t seen it for myself
never have believed that people are that stupid?
i love how they all panicked and grabbed onto the boat like they were going to sink to the bottom.
it’s a river, swim to the shoreline!
Sam for you..

Maybe you can expand this photo to include more pathetic attempts to be wunth. I’m just saying…. hehehe….
Hehehe. Good one!
Don’t you mean “Get an avatar or don’t be wunth”?
I’m afraid you have lost. PWNAGE.
What?
of course it wasn’t, i live right next to where it happened and a couple of those kids died
Is there a way I can contact you?Maybe you can call him…right here at home?
Song Choice WIN
Its like the most epic fail in history, the Titanic, only smaller…
ok….again
it’s coming….
Nah. You have an avatar. She will leave you alone.

Kind of makes you wonder if it was planned, hmm?
Nooo, are you suggesting that the person uploading the video has chosen the song?
That is prospesterouss. Anyone knows that you can’t modify videos!
Ah, yes. Another one of ‘my people’ has joined. Welcome, sarcastic one!
Wait, what is sarcasm?
no it wasnt and 5 poeple died on this accident so please dont post unrespectful things
I bet it was

Good question. How much DOES a computer weigh?
depends on which type of computer it is. i can freely swing around the laptop i’m on but i need both hands to carry my desktop PC
Too much of April’s chocolate cake.
Chocolate cake???? Where??????
Céline Dion has that effect on people
Yes, it’s a much better contribution to the discussion to b*tch at people about their lack of an avatar than it is to make a Celine Dion joke. Good call.
That, and the fact that if Sam had speakers she could hear the CELINE DION music in the clip.
Actually, Celine Dion is playing here at work too.
Can we stop saying “Celine Dion”? It’s almost as bad as saying “Sam”.
hehehe
On behalf of Canada I would like to issue an apology for Céline Dion
We also apologize for Nickelback.
But we hope we can earn your forgiveness with this offering of the Guess Who, BTO, Rush, and Bryan Adams.
…and Neil Young!
Isn’t Bryan Adams the male equivalent of Celine Dion?
Add Joni Mitchell.
I’m ambivalent on adding Anne Murray.

Not yet. But it is boggling my mind just how WILLFULLY ignorant this child is.
I think it is intentional. Way vvv there she says something about how water doesn’t hurt anybody. Nobody is THAT ignorant.

Did some one say fail boat. It has been way to long since the last fail boat post.
“FAIL BOAT!”
hahaha I love that short. I wonder if everyone in this fail boat had their “flippy floppies”??
Umm good fail, but was everyone ok? Looked like there were people inside when it went under.
Why don’t you get a better one?
But hers is such a pretty girl, avis!
Question: Has anyone contacted Emily yet about this person we can’t see, or should I do it?
My computer still won’t let me do it so if you would, that would be fantastic! Ask if they can clear up some of todays fails too! Or give us just one more.
I’m sure it couldn’t hurt for multiple people to do so.
Done and done.
Thank you! I’ve just been killing time occasionally responding to the little kid. Poking, as it were.
Avis, please don’t. We really want this one to go away.
Wow! That was FAST! I just got an email back. She says she’s checking out the comments and will delete/filter accordingly.
I think we should send Emily a care package…she takes such good care of us!
Oooh, neat.
She’s already started. There’s a thread below that has several comments deleted. Thanks Emily!!
Thanks Dragon
Emily doth rock!!
Emily > Sam
Ooh! I poked my head in just in time to see the fantastic, super-awesome Emily is hard at work!

Wishes do come true! Thank you, magical Emily for granting all of us this boon.
I offer myself to Emily as a gift in return for her help here!
Yay, thanks to this emily for helping eliminate the troll and her disturbing comments!!
Did you all happen to notice the absence of the “other” that had posted here earlier? Also suspiciously missing!
All Hail Emily!
So, is it true that Em and Ben are an item!?!
Ok, I’ve slammed my head against the wall enough anyway today.
*smoooch*
HI!
*smooooooooch!*
You can’t see me either. But that doesn’t matter.
-stares-
She looks perturbed. Which makes sense I suppose, that is the feeling she instils in others.
The water didn’t look too deep and the boat sank slowly. But I’m sure at least one person claimed injury so they could get paid. There’s always one.
Or five…
I think this is one of those situations where people put themselves in peril and any injuries that resulted are their own effing fault… not that that would dissuade them from suing I s’pose.
In my experience…the higher the peril, the greater the case reward.
Some idiot at a supermarket does a back flip on some wet floor tiles…$20,000.
Some larger idiot doing work on an elevated air condition unit, while drunk and without proper safety harnesses… 1 million.
The greater the lack of thought, the more substantial sum of money that is collected. Long story short? There is no such thing as justice.

I still enjoy throwing little bits of crazy into work. Just last week I was making a part for a piece in a rotor called a button. While the piece I was making was a plug. So I named the Drawing “button plug”, but on one of our forms the name was too long so it got abbreviated. I took no notice since I was busy doing stuff for other projects. So when I took the purchase order to my manger to get him to sign off, he started to bust up laughing and he said “why are we making butt plugs?” To which I looked at him dumb founded for a second until I put 1 and 1 together and also bust up laughing.

*offers Cuddles a tranq*
*gives Cuddles a tight squeeze*
Howdy! I’ve been good. Busy at work and over the weekend!
How about yourself?
I’ve been good. Had a crazy weekend. Work has been slow, but I only have 1 month left until I leave!
Hurray! You’ll have a great time in Ireland…good people they are!
I would just like to point out that now that Sam’s comment has been removed MMC is berating himself
I saw that! Hehehehe… Mr. Cuddles, you are so mean to yourself.
Wishing I’d read McFail’s comment before going looking…
I just saw that! I saw cuddles’ response, and scrolled up to see who he was responding to!
*puts tranq into a dart gun* Aim for the neck; I could use a good night’s sleep
*makes mmc drink an absolut and sprite* Simmer down buddy, simmer down. He’ll be gone soon enough.
Aww, you remembered!
*squeeze*
Is it just me or is Sam’s comment to me gone?
They are all gone, mr. cuddles. He’s been deleted and blocked.
*dances!*
*high fives all around*
And there was much rejoicing.
Woohoo!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
*hands WN a ShamWow*
Emily is taking a ShamWow to the previous fail, too!
Hurray!
WOOHOOOOOOO!!
And thanks, Dragon, but – umm – not that kinda wee.
Although, since GF’s mini pini DOES do that when she gets excited, I can certainly understand the cornfusion…
*cheers* Group squeezes all around! *SQUEEZE*
Squeeze!
Now she’s gone
And I’m back on the beat
A stain on my Failblog
Says nothing to me. . .
*sings*
Happy Days are here again,
the skies above are blue again!
Let us sing a song of cheer again,
Happy Days are Here Again!
*does happy dance*
If you say so…
Get an avatar!
*Slow claps*
I’m of the belief that the system isn’t quite as skewed up here in Canada.
Only because up there you win that funny-looking Canadian money.
Ouch, my funny bone. I can’t work for 8 months now!
Excessive injury lawsuits happen in the US only.
In -mexico?
I do not think so…
by the way this happened in mexico
Yeah, really. Come to think of it...It was because of all those people inside that it went under.I’m a proponent of the theory: If you are an idiot and get hurt because of it, you shouldn’t get any sort of payment.
Oh my god there are more like me out there… I was starting to wonder after the whole McDonald’s serving hot coffee debacle.
That was pretty much what I was thinking of when I wrote that out…its basically like…so you ordered coffee…do you normally get your coffee cold?
That coffee was 20 degrees hotter than allowed by law, and she suffered
third degree burns to her genitals.
Still, one should not put a cup of hot coffee (even within the “legal” range) between their legs. That was an accident just waiting to happen.
No more flotsam and jetsam.
Hehe. I guess it slipped off the transam.
Why the avatar obsession? I think the fail supplied avatars are perfectly adequate.
It’s her schtick. All she has is FIRST and GET AN AVATAR.
Yeah…. really has nothing else going for her, I guess…
whoa sam is a girl? WTF
Some kids actually died in this fail. I’m from Mexico City, and it was a really tragic incident.
I didn’t hear about it. But sounds possible. So sad.
I’m disgusted that Failblog even put this up. So sad.
that means it is a viewer fail for the people on the other boat standing around watching, videotaping, and not helping save lives.
either way, a fail.
Does that make it a ‘funny’ fail, or is it just an all-round really good ‘fail’?
Hey I’m from Mexico City too!! But that was a viral video in youtube called “El titanic Mexicano” that boats are also called “trajineras” and ammm anybody died…
It’s just funny!! lol
notice the consistancy in his avatar getbacks.
Hullo, Oblivious!
*squeeze*
Nice to see you in this Fail as well.
i like to get around.
nop after 100 estudents fell into the water a few hrs later they found 1 corps… so … thats the answer
twenty fifth!
BondFans head is gonna explode!
*puts memory stick in camera*
*puts duct tape over the lens cap so it can’t be removed*
You don’t want to see it?
I do, but I want WhoaNellie to work for it.
*SNORK*
Whoah, what would cause this cranium-demolition?
Oh, I see now with the sound on.
*universe implodes*
*writes “Celine Dion” on The List*
Nah. Too mean.
*scratches out*
How’d it get so dark in here??
*runs into wall*
*brings the popcorn*
*steals avis’s popcorn*
Pass the Baconlube™ please.
What are you planning that involves Baconlube and popcorn? Wait, wait, don’t answer that. I REALLY don’t want to know.
No…you definitely don’t want to know.
TOO LATE!!! AHHH!!!
*covers ears and runs screaming at top of voice, out of room*
*watches BFF run out of the room*
Ahh, seems like old times!
Heeeeee…!
Don’t worry, I’ll get him.
*runs after BFF*
*looks behind*
Why am I being chased by mr. cuddles? AHHH!!!
*continues running and screaming*
*awaits the return of roflcopter*
That was interesting. Powered by me!No, no, it was powered by me.
Ninja v. Dove Bar
Who will power who?
Where’s the dove bar?
Dove bar? If that fail is a p0rno it should be called ‘Driftwood’!
But it told me right in the video that it was me that powered it.Actually, it was me.
What? No way!*crosses out “me” and puts “I” instead*
*tips “I” over on its side, climbs on, makes a sandwich*
Ooh! Another WhoaNellie sandwich! NOMNOMNOM
LOL @ DROWNING
From you, that is irony at its best.
penis?
Hypocrisy win!!
You will definitely need a shower after that squeeze graymmaterz. eeew! *shudders*
That was a good day for all the piranha.
I had a similar experience last weekend :/
But your cell phone survived! Were you also listening to Celine?
I do believe rocking out to Celine caused the accident…
I said it before and I’ll say it again: Céline Dion has that effect on people
*nods in a timid manner*
*takes out red pen*
*changes “from” to “for” using big bold marks*
But it is in fact Celine Dion.
Actually.
Yes.
Go Celine!!
Yeah, please go Celine!! Far Far FAR away. Just go.
Oh for the love of… Please note that:
“My Heart Will Go On” is the theme song of the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic. With music by James Horner, lyrics by Will Jennings, and production by Walter Afanasieff, it was recorded by Céline Dion. Originally released in 1997 on Dion’s album Let’s Talk About Love, it went to number 1 all over the world, including the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. My Heart Will Go On was released in Australia and Germany on December 8, 1997, and in the rest of the world in January and February of 1998. It became one of the best-selling singles of all time, and was the world’s best selling single of 1998.
I also apologize for posting that… I could no longer help it.
Some of us do thank you for that though.
Even though it won’t help.
I know *sigh*
*SQUEEZES* McFail
Merci WV *squeezes*
Why thank you McFail. Thank you.
She is, in fact, a bilingual artist who milked her French-speaking career into a dual-language career in order to become even more rich.
That’s a quote from Wikipedia if you must know (all of which is easily verified through other sources). However, if you were actually 28 you’d know this stuff. It was hard to miss back in the late 90′s unless you lived under a rock.
And you are predictable the way you jumped on that.
Not to mention the reliably poor spelling
Why, it’s more reliable than making stuff up.
Raise hands if you agree.
Still more likely to get truth from wikipedia than from you.
Under the rock was nice though. I came out, saw the 90′s and thought “Screw this.” and went back. And even under the rock, it was hard to miss.
That is fair.
You’re an avatar.
It is possible for one person to be fluent in more than one language. And not only that, it is possible to parlay that in to a very lucrative career.
Deux langues? C’est impossible!
Je ne te crois pas!
you my friend are a idiot
Celine Dion is from Quebec
they (generally) speak both French and English there
and get a better avatar, yours smells like fish
Me??
A boat full of people got dumped into you? I’m so sorry. *hands a rose*
It wasn’t my best attempt at fleet commander.
* Insert enema / Baconlube™ joke here *

I AM SAM ! SAM who are you
Hello Sam You Are. I think that Sam might mean “Strange and Mean.” Gives the rest of us Sams bad name. Thank the gods I go by Samantha normally.
Well, hiya Samantha!
I didn’t see any iceberg..?!?!
it’s in the 4th dimension. a hyperberg.
I’ll bet that’s what the captain said too.
Where was the “No Drowning” sign when you need it?
Thank you!
I needed that
I see his copy and paste technique still works.
Yah. Why bother having an original thought…? It takes soooooo much work.
really guys, did anyone get hurt?
I’ll tell that to all those people who have drowned or been killed in floods over the years.
I think they need to hear that.Would you please go for a swim with a sinking ship on top of you for all of us?
1th – get on a damn boat.
2th – let said boat capsize, and roll over.
3th – start to swim as boat continues it’s roll on TOP of you. (Do realize that a lot of boats capsize and roll over 180 degree’s, in essence, putting everyone on board BELOW the boat…and in essence, TRAPPED)
4th – Nevermind. It’s pointless to assume that you will ever begin to realize that you’re not doing anything but proving your stupidity, one more post at a time.
5th – back to ignoring.
Don’t you mean 4st and 5rd?
Hey, graymatterz, don’t you mean 4st and 5nd?
Who’s on fourth?
Not to mention…you missed the whole point of my reply.
That’s ok, the rest of the posters here got it.
Hitler said the same thing. What does that tell us about you?
i may be wrong, if i am please prove it with fact. but im rather sure darwin didnt say that. that being said, stop making sh@t up
Of course Darwin didn’t say that, but I’m sure Sam was referring to his “Survival of the Fittest” theory, which Hitler used extensively in his reign of terror.
.
Oh, and if you’re going to try and insult people, try using the correct grammar and spelling. Have a nice day
thnx, never really studied darwin, but i figured he wouldnt be that heartless
If it’s survival of the fittest, which means “that which best fits into an environment”, Do we really need to worry bout this kind of stuff? After all, stupidity is usually rewarded with spectacular exits from life.
Sigh…this is the type of troll who would try to use Darwin’s theory to justify the holocaust.
I don’t think Darwin did any research on swimming, though.
Then how do you explain the Darwin Fish I see on cars at the mall?
A most excellent point! Although, as a Christian, I’ve always been fond of the one where the bigger fish called TRUTH is eating the smaller Darwin fish
Ah yes. The Christian ‘truth’ fish. Irony at its finest.
As a Christian, I never liked those.It turned into somthing like:
"I've got a fish to represent the symbol that the early Christians used."
"Oh yeah, well I've got a fish with legs labeled 'Darwin'."
"OH YEAH, well my fish eats your fish!!"
Ohhhh. Touche.
That is too far. The best swimmers can drown in a flood. It's not the smae as a pool. My soccer coach drowned in flood we had a couple years ago. But I guess that a 12 year old girl wouldn't know these things.That wasn’t irrelevant at all, unlike your comments here.
Oh Fail Blog! You forgot one!Wow! That suggests they have to be removed manually!? I would have assumed an automated process.
Yeah I found a few others.^^^ I think we all owe FAIL Blog management a huge thank you. That must have taken a while to remove all those bullshit comments.*gives a standing ovation to the Failblog admin*
You guys really are the best.
*stands and ovates with BFF*
*leaves to vote for failblog as ‘best website’ from previous post*
*Pulls out generic trophies for Failblog admin*
You can get them inscribed with whatever you want…examples include: “Best admin on the web,” “The Eraser: Admin of Comment Erasure,” or my personal favorite: “I am this awesome”
I was, and I'm breaking the rule one more time with this comment. SHUT THE F*CKING HELL UP!! GROW A PAIR!!Really?
Yes.
Best choice of music. Ever.
/true
SOUNDTRACK WIN!
Yeah, I have to agree, that was pretty funny.
That’s what happens when you use what was obviously meant to be a parade float as a party boat.
That’s what happens when you cover every square inch of a boat with people.
yea i was thinking Mardi Gras float for reals
Man, the local radio shack must have made a killing off replacement cell phones that week. Wonder if anyone on that boat was twittering at the time?
Is this a comment board or a forum? Some of you have no lives 3:
Really? I don’t see why it can’t be both, and if you would so kindly explain to me as to why i have “no life”.
I see a syllogism here!
“People who post here have no life.”
“I just posted here.”
“Therefore, I have no life.”
They insult themselves without even knowing it. *snork*
I think their head just exploded from that one. And at least 5 lurkers went running for a dictionary.
I live to educate!
I live to post here!
Fascinating to read this without the Sam comments–one can actually reconstruct them, having read the little cretin’s comments for a few days. Bravo to you all, and several big squeezes for vanquishing the foe!
Yay for syllogisms! I was always bad at logic, but this one definitely makes sense. Yup yup! I just forget the proper name for it…. uhhhh….
*thinks hard*
Well you could be out doing something better with your time. I troll at on time that someone else is using namely school. This isn’t a forum, because the comments will die off in a couple of hours.
“I troll at on time that someone else is using namely school.”
I didn’t quite understand that sentence, but anyways, what is so different posting comments here than Youtube or any other community site.
?
Nah, it’s more like a community.
Oh school uses up most of my time (which is very unneeded in this case because my school has lowered it’s standards for all of the morons in it) I wish it was more challenging because it’s so easy the work bores me.
Well, you see, I go to a crappy community college, so I have plenty of spare time to do stuff.
Let me see if I’ve got this straight.
1) “Oh school uses up most of [your] time.” Is that a type of school one attends between, say, elementary and middle school? Or is “Oh” the actual name of your school? As in, “I attend Oh School, where do you go? Are you at Tsk School or are you over at Hmmm?”
2) Having posed that question, I’d like to ask this: Did you mean that it is Oh school or [your] time that is “unneeded”? And whether it’s one, the other or both, I find it compelling that the “unneeded” thing exists because [your] school has lowered it’s [ *it is?* = it's] standards for all of the morons in it.” Does that mean you . . . . mumblemumble*morons in it*mumblecough
Wait! I remember now: syllogism (FTW c/o DW)
*ahem* Carry on, carry on.
*We now return you to your regularly scheduled program*
Would someone give me a play-by-play? My IT department blocks videos.
Several hundred people on a tiny little parade-float-resembling water craft. Boat sinks.While the titanic theme song plays.
lather, win, repeat
Yay! I’m 5rd! I am fulfilled
Get out of here. No one likes you.
I like him.
No, you’re just confused.
Yeah no one likes you either confused.
Hey, >I< like the Person with a Strange Asian Name!!
I’m with you WN. The Person with a Strange Asian Name is ok.
Ditto. He’s not hostile one bit, and he’s playing along. What more can you ask for?
Oh! That’s just cold!
You don’t know me!
I like confused. And you are the only person who seems to dislike my satiric comments. Either that or it failed to register that I was mocking the troll’s incessant and useless comments.
HAND. LOL.
can I just express my opinion real quick that putting a win on every video on here is stupid? this is failblog, not winblog. most of them aren’t even wins, like this one. we don’t need to see the same video played twice just for a stupid win to show up. it is dumb
I don’t know how often you come here, but every single video we usually get a troll called “…” that basically says this. So your comment won’t really be that effective and we don’t really care about the win thing, at least I don’t see a problem with it.
*waits for Cloral*
*zips lips and does not say it*
I’m not stealing her thunder today. She didn’t seem to happy about it yesterday.
“DOT ORG!”
Okay. It’s done.
YAY!
Oh, she/he already posted, I completely missed that.
True, but since they’re invisible and we’re ignoring them it’s not really an issue
Meh. Being a day late/buck short happens.
Wow, now my replies and comments totally look bad for other people since said troll’s comments were deleted.
Hehe, don’t worry, most of us know what happened.
Today’s lesson:
Talking to trolls makes you talk to yourself.
‘Cept for my comments for whatever reason. Sam’s comments were left intertwined with mine above, but that’s ok because he made himself look like an arse.
Hahahah! Yeah! I was just feeling the same way about some of mine…
Now if rfmx gets the Life Fail of all those Sam “First” posts submitted, someone will cry “Photoshopped!” How ironic would that be?
See what happens when you ignore them. They fade away.
yay no more trolls!
*gives graymatterz a cookie*
WOOHOO cookie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OOPS!
*whispers quietly, so as not to draw attention that he has a cookie*
woohoo- I have a cookie.
*observes cookie from rooftop of building across street*
*stuffs whole cookie in mouth*
NYAA NYAA NYAA
you cantthhhh habt my cthoookthie…pbbbbthhhhh
*observes choking greymatterz turning blue from rooftop of building across street*
Don’t worry, we won’t judge. We are witnesses to the aforementioned.
Wow, I don’t think I will ever read the comments on this website again. Not a single person over 8 years old.
Come back in November, I’ll be nine and I’m getting a pretty pony for my birthday.
Wow…
seriously, wow!
Even with the mischievous Sam replies today, I have to say that this is the best reply win I’ve seen in a while.
Thank you for that, you just made my day!
Aww, thanks! This is just coffee-induced sarcasm (still mid-afternoon in CT US). You should catch the late night posts after a few Stolis.
I’ll admit, I loved your reply as well
What time should I be over for the Stolis?
I can have the bottle thoroughly chilled in under 2 hours.
Can I come, too? Although I’ll BYOB (I’m a Bud Light gal). Also, if no one else has offered, I’d be pleased to bake your cake for the party in November. I assume you’re having a party – why else would one get a pony if not for some party fun?
Sure – and can the cake have (“Olympic Rings”) on it?
* Trying to think of a witty, yet non-p0rn response to the pony question. *
I can’t speak for anyone else but I’m pretty sure I’m way over 8 years old. For example, I’m going to use my advanced adult logic to point out that you are posting on this website therefore you must be 8 or under too. If that is the case then kindly go play with your legos and let the grown ups chat.
Emily…I love you.
*SQUEEEEEEEZE!!!*
Thank you!
Ditto!!!
Hurray for Emily!
THANK YOU!!!!!!! I’ll try to stop poking the other trolls. Try.
Trolls make me appreciate the good people here.
Cheers to you all!
*squeeze*
All right, guys…my work here is done. I’m away for a bit. Be good while I’m gone!
*squeezes for everyone*
*a big, soft, slow smooch for my Admiral*
*smmmoooooochhha!*
Indeed!
Geez, funny, but i hope they all got out alive. Drowning FTL
You guys like prune juice?
Whoa man, I knew failblog was a pretty awesome site but I didn’t know they could make people dissapear. I’m freakin out maaaan!
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Make who disappear?
*eyes sofaking to act natural*
Tell em Mr. Cuddles she was right here and now shes gone!!! I’m not crazy!! You can’t hide the truth!
What are you talking about?
I don’t know, I haven’t figured out which sci-fi fantasy movie I’m in yet. (The Invaders, Conspiracy Theory, The manchurian Candidate, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, or Enemy of the State)
It is the one where you ate the bad mushrooms…don’t worry it happened to me too.
I don’t think so…..but are you Holden, i mean, do you know a guy named Holden? Is he here?
Not that I know of
*arrives late at the party*
Hey, where is Sa– *GUNSHOT*
*bleeds*
Wait…someone had shrooms and didn’t share??
Just like Darwin said would happen!
Do you remember what happened at infatable fail? 500+ comments, gone in the blink of an eye!
But this is on a live fail! Everyone was here.Once, many many fails ago, an ENTIRE fail disappeared. It was there, then it was gone! I tried to get to via the “recent comments” box and nothing. Apparently the subject matter and the comments were particularly objectionable. Or it was a contest that somehow got out of hand, I don’t really remember what was up with that one. It would be like “Testimonial Fail” just disappearing.
Now that sounds creepy.We’ve had some trolls in the past that make todays annoyance look like nothing.
Trolls that personalized their attacks. That lurked about and used information you previously shared to insult you so as to as hurtful as possible. Several threads had to removed.
I still shiver at hearing “Mr sausage” or “closet”. Thank god they’re gone.
Funny names, but I suspect that's not what they're remembered for.And those weren’t even the worst of them. We don’t even say the names of the worst.
Sounds like site has become quite a battleground.The very features that make a forum like this so great are exploited by the emotionally bereft. Some of Failblog’s greatest attractions are the fact that it is free, anonymous, and minimally moderated. Unfortunately, it is those very features that allow them to flourish.
It is true. But, actions can be taken to remove the offenders. Thank any and all applicable Gods.
That was back around the time of Gasman, wasn’t it?
Ahhh, the twin glories of technology and the interwebs!
And this is my room, and you’re all here. And I’m not gonna leave here ever!
*hugs Dorothy*
There’s no place like home!
ALL ABOARD TEH FAILBOAT!
TOTALLY TITANIC xD
Bleh
sorry i left guys, i had to present my thesis, but i cant tell you about, cause then i would have to kill you, and i like you all too much!
Not funny at all.
is so
Its back…without an avatar…but its back.
ironic, no?
No, not really.
how is it not, thats all she got on about?
I misread something in there and meant that it wasn’t ironic she was (or might have been) back. As for the avatar, it can take a few posts for those to kick in.
It’s okay. As we’ve already demonstrated…it only takes one email.
LOL!! Yep!
Hmmmmm….. Wheeeee!
*finger twitches to press the universe implosion button*
dont do it!!! a pistol will solve the problem too.
Or an encyclopedia!
I think what he means is….kill yourself. Just kill yourself.
But that only solves the problem for him…if he uses the encyclopedia it helps everyone by ridding the world of another troll…either through the logic destroying it or the cruder method of bludgeoning it.
GET AN AVATAR!
roflmao
…I now declare today a national holiday, “Anti-Sam” day.
*releases the balloons and oversees the fireworks*
*lights some M-80s and throws in air*
hooray
*throws M-80′s and lights some air*
ray hoo??
*M-80s the light and throws some air*
hay roo
*airs the M-80′s and throws some light*
roo hay
Cue the orchestra! *Some throw air and the M-80s are light*
*taps the keg*
*shuffles music: “Ode to Joy”, followed by “The Radetsky March”, then “Rule Britannia”, “Stars and Stripes Forever” and a finale of “the 1812 Overture”.
*ooohs and aaaaahs*
*Pulls out encyclopedia set* I figure since trolls are allergic to logic this should help…and even if this one has somehow become tolerant to logic we can just use the encyclopedia and bludgeon it with them. Either way we win…
*gives free ninja show*
Ninjas perform……naked?
So much for her “Doctorate of Science” and all her AMAZING computer skillz!
I’d like to see how she can get out of this one. Scratch that, I definitely don’t.
*sigh*
Too late. I think we just did. Dragon’s on it though, so it shouldn’t be for too long.
Oh great. Foot-in-mouth fails me again. I’m going to go and sit in the corner now and think about what I’ve done.
*slinks off in jeep*
5 stars if only for the apt music in the background…
made me laugh out loud!! for reals!
bye all!
I love the theme song. I was disappointed when no one hit the propeller on the way down though.
-Insert obligatory ‘dot org’ exclamation-
Wow. Only in Japan, only in Japan. *Shakes head disapointedly*
A-hem.
*taps foot and raises eyebrow as far as it can go*
*Pushes eyebrow back down*
Dude…that’s just too scarey!
Sorry, it was just for dramatic effect.
*raises BOTH eyebrows*
Muahahahaha!
Ooo! THAT take talent!
Try to alternate between raising each eyebrow. No squinting allowed.
*Hides under the covers.*
How do you know this happened in Japan? I am curious.
I’m pretty sure several people have confirmed that it actually happened in Mexico, but I could be wrong.
It’s Xochimilco in Mexico.. The boats are called “Trajineras”
How long could you survive being chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor?
not even as long as I thought about that question.
Just until it’s finished with greymatterz.
Then I’m effed.
*graymatterz.
My sincere apologies.
woah. I’d NOT want to fall in the water of Xochimilco.
I was actually there the other week an that water is seriously filled with dead fish.
luckily we were only 10 people on the boat ^^
that is goram funny
I conjure it is.
Shiny!
Am I the only one who thinks that in some of those scenes it looks like an angry water dragon eating people? It’s like it shooped itself for us
‘shooped’?
Clickie.
Ohhhhhhh.
I’m always tragically behind on these things.
I’m jealous. Clickie no workie here.
Big Brother watching again…
Do you need a definition too?
Because I had never seen the word ‘shooped’ before.
You called?
I did?
Ha!
Oh, apparently we did!
I noticed She Who Doesn’t Exist’s comments have been deleted? How? Who is Emily?
-
I am not complaining…
Everything’s back to normal? Good…
sam, I haven’t been here at failblog for long, but even I can see how big of a noob you are.
your annoyance makes my skin crawl. gtfo and die please.
No offense, but I think you’re late and you missed it.
Much appreciated support, though!
But Sam’s gone now.
people lurk and read, my friend.
True.
Logic, WIN.
People actually died in that incident – FACT -
omg background music epic win
Titanic 2 ftw!
looks like ppl could’ve died
Then Leo DiCaprio painted me in the nude.
I’d like to see my drawing now.
Why do I get this sudden urge to watch old “Who’s the Boss” episodes?
Well, you got my attention. Let me know when you figure that one out.
impressive
Blocking the exit so you don’t get wet while other people drown fail.
Has the troll/rat been expelled? Please say yes
*says yes*
Oh bugger.
*erases holiday off calendar*
Why would you respond to yourself.
At the time I said this it was not true, but thanks Emily for making it so.
*squeeze*
Irony! Oh, the irony!!
*SNORKROFFLE!*
I just got here. Does the erasure of identity that everyone is talking about have to do with a certain Dr. of Science? What happened? Was there a last straw? I want details!
Yep! You can sort of reconstruct it if you read through the comments. Sort of.
Sort of is right. I miss all of the good stuff.
Trust me…you didn’t miss anything good.
Not at all. Do you know how hard it is to type when you palm is practically glued to your forehead?
In ancient Egypt there was a similar fate for some major transgressors. The cartouche and any images were obliterated.
Hand’s Avis I bottle of goo gone. This should help, as for the reddening of the skin, I suggest some aloe.
*cuts conveniently nearby aloe plant’s leaf.*
*hands to Avis*
It was more of a facepalming problem. Over and over and over again.
But I thank you kindly!
Well the aloe will still do well anyways, its good for burns and yes redness because of viewing ignorance. (Result of repeated facepalms).
World works in mysterious ways…
*plays twilight zone theme song*
Again?
Aw, I’m just ribbin ya!
Oh I got it this time, you two are sharpening my skills, so whats new on the day? or should I say night? (Its 9:56, i think Chicago’s in Torontos time zone if not an hour or two away)
It’s 9:05 in Chi-town. And nothing new here. Just watching lots of bad TV tonight.
I’m currently working on a sumo wrestling game for my physics class.
Objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an equal or opposite object, that whole thing? Or how those very large men can throw each other around like that?
Well mostly the momentum really, dealing mostly with mass as a deciding factor of victory, that along with wits. You have to push the computer out of the center to gain points. Being in the center gains points until 1000 where you win. The problem is in the first level you are the same mass as the computer so you can’t just bully him away. Later levels you gain mass so with persistent pushing you can get him out. Though the rule you mentioned comes in with strategy because the computer on easy mode just charges for the center, if you move out of the way, he will be close to the edge to loose by the second condition, out of ring knockout. On the harder modes the computer will slow down as he approaches the center and then rely on resisting your pushes to win by points. A simple computer as we don’t have the time to make a fully functional AI. Though after handing in this assignment we plan on making the game harder with a full AI, as a summer project.
Yeah, um… I’m not at all computer savvy. Nor do I know much about sumo anything. But it certainly sounds like you’ve got your work cut out for you this summer! Good luck!
You are plenty savvy, don’t down play yourself. I don’t know much about real sumo wrestling, I just know physics and it was a good idea for the project he proposed.
Aww, you’re sweet! But I know what I know, and I don’t know much about computers. Food, books, those sorts of things, sure. But computers, not so much.
Hey, how much does the average person know about computers? Well I can tell you, that, since you can post recipes you know more than the average person. (Didn’t think I would know about that skill of yours.) So you do know enough about computers and your good at them. So nyah. Have some faith in yourself, I do and so do others, why must you be different.
Aww! You ARE sweet! I know enough about computers to get online and to post in my blog. I’m still trying to figure out how to post links on my blog, as in a bloglist. I want to link to ctf.org, and a couple others as well, but that may take a bit.
Emily has been notified. One wrong move and he’s gone.
I really do admire your quick-wittedness, Dragon. Thanks very much.
My pleasure, sweetie!
I’m on it.
THAT was fast!
*SNORK!*
I love this place.
Emily is getting a good workout wielding those lightning bolts today!
Hee…!
I just heard back from her. She says “Thanks!” and *blush* for all the sweet comments people have posted here for her.
*SQUEEZE* for Emily!
Ye gads that WAS fast!
The fatuous, fastuous fanfaron is gone! Again!
*takes out duct tape and tapes own mouth shut*
There.
Um, why?
I don’t know if this is me being paranoid at myself, but it seems the moment I challenged “She who must not be named”, she reappeared. If I keep my mouth shut, then maybe she’ll stop coming.
I think failblog should post warnings for videos where people actually get seriously hurt / die … lots of the vids here are funny but many people don’t like seeing stuff this extreme.
I understand how you feel, but this entire site is dedicated to Schadenfreude, why would you need a warning if you know that?
There’s a big difference between seeing someone embarrass themselves doing something stupid, and seeing a bunch of people drown to death. I don’t want to have to avoid the entire site because of the occasional gruesome video but it would be nice to be warned so I could avoid those ones.
So read the comments first to find out what is being shown, then decide if you wish to watch it. Or really, go elsewhere. It’s not the responsibility of FailBlog to hold your hand and protect you from the big bad world.
I’m leaning towards Mark on this one.
I get what he’s saying, really I do. But how would one decide which pics an vids get warnings? If death occurs? If someone gets injured (if that’s the case every vid will need a warning)? Where do you draw the line? And who draws that line?
There are a lot of things that will never get shown for being too graphic, or too violent. And so there is some censorship going on, but how far do we take it?
Failblog leans that way, too. Failblog’s policy is to not show things that have caused actual serious injuries or deaths. I’m guessing this one slipped through that filter.
Yeah, me too. That’s why I asked if Mark could provide some information for verification purposes.
But. Just because someone dies doesn’t make it less of a fail.
Fail is fail is fail.
Mortality or not.
I think there’s a Venn diagram somewhere showing the intersection of FAIOL ain Darwin awards.
*Fail and
*takes tape off*
Or, you could click on “Show G-Rated pictures”.
*puts tape back on*
That works. Thanks.
Now it would be nice if there was an RSS feed for g-rated because I read failblog through google reader.
Mark, can you provide some information about this accident or link to a news article?
No, I don’t know anything about it, just based on user comments and the content of the video, there were definitely people inside the boat when it went down.
Well, you lost me, then. For all we know, nobody was seriously hurt.
Admiral, I just did a search, and could find NO evidence that anyone was injured or killed during this incident.
Oh Dragon, we’ve got another one here.
Another what where?
*evil grin*
*high-fives Emily*
This Emily cannot be a mere mortal. I pray she gets a pay rise.
I think Emily should deputize Dragon, and give her the codes needed to be a mod. Just for when Dragon’s here.
GAH! Noooo, theng-kew! I’ll leave that to the fantabulous Emily.
I’ll just be the mole and pass information to the brass.
But you’d be such a GOOD mod! Fair and even handed!
Even handed being better than odd handed.
*sigh*
*KERSPLORTCH*
Indeed. I’m surprised Dragon hasn’t been given mod status yet.
*sends email*
There is a difference between “lol, he’ll need DAYS to clean that mess up” and “lol, these people just died for no fault of their own”
“videos where people actually get seriously hurt / die”
Agreed, that’s where the fun stops (well, if I’m not in the cynicism mood anyway). I don’t think you’d need a special warning, since you can’t even turn on the news without seeing people die – that’s life (well, or not). But generally, you’re right.
fails are usually fun but we’re talking about people who died here. it was on the news
^The Killjoy brothers.
The Jonas Brothers?
You mean the Killfaithindecentmusic Brothers?
Hey.. what happend to sam?
did you guys scare him away?
gtfo
For Chrissake, when will this sodding troll give up?
I thought you were going to ignore him Oo
Apparently she has nothing better to do than to be a thorn in the sides of others. So much for her claims to a life.
Well, only one of countless paradoxons (claiming superb intellect because of having been first – or the impressive skill of owning an avatar)… but what else did you expect of a true troll stereotype? No point in getting really agitated about what some random idiot says, especially not over the internet oO
And on the ’7nd’ day got created trolls. oink oink
I think that’s at Xochimilco in Mexico.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that actually happened (not set up), because those boats shouldn’t hold that many people.
Pretty funny anway
ALL aboard FAILtanic!!!
Don’t you think that’s a little redundant, don’t you think?
I do think, I also think it was redundant, thanks for asking though hammy.
*squeeze for all*
Big FAIL!
Try it : http:\\mr.ba.mybrute.com
Read my lips: NO MORE SPAM.
Oh yeah, sorry about the sudden randomness of my comment; it would’ve gone better towards the beginning. However, I don’t have the luxury of deciding where my comments go
LOL, oh well!
I hope everyone was okay. That looked like it potentially could have been dangerous.
Erm… people better not have died, I swear. It looked like they would have got out okay but I just commented wittingly here/faved it on YouTube. Nothing personal, but I really hope Failblog didn’t cross that line… I’ll be mighty pissed off.
I almost want to see where logic prevailed and the troll defeated, but on the other hand I’d rather not. ( was late to the party)
wonder how many drunk kids died because they couldn’t find their way out.
I’m curious: is the fact that the Titanic theme is playing in the background just cruel coincidence, or was it added to the video?
Looking back into the Fail Blog archives there are a lot of painful failures, photo chopped or not.
Seriously, this Fail… Win formula is dragging this site down. There is no win in this one.
Music = WIN
EPIC MUSIC!
made in Xochimilco México
Well, I obviously fail at life.
I couldn’t have named a Celine Dion song to save myself.
I know who she is, of course, and have groaned and cringed at that AC/DC cover she did on YouTube (do yourself a favour, DON’T look it up), but if the criteria for life success is knowledge of C.Dion music or mawkish films, then I concede.
But then again, being a 3000-year-old severed head wth snakes for hair probably counts as a fail anyway…
Background music win.
oh my god, i can’t believe it. RIP
Huge compassion fail.
music choice ftw.
Why do at least ten people complain here about this instead of where it might do some good?
The only thing that made this funny was the choice of song.
I’ve been to Xochimilco and the boats always seemed rickety and ready to fall over with just the normal dozen people. I couldn’t imagine one with THAT many people…until now. Hilarious!
Wow. From the look of it, a lot of people drowned in this accident (being trapped in a quickly sinking structure in murky water with lots of people panicking around you – I would guess, only have of the people on the inside survived).
What the hell is wrong with the guy who posted this???
it’s either people are becoming schizophrenic or someone deleted all of Sam’s posts
This is in poor taste, even for Failblog. When and where was this video taken, and were there any casualties from this accident?
It happened a few years back and yes there were several deads. It was all over the news down in México
just one person died
Wow lol that is the fail of all fails! And leave trolls alone lol they arn’t that bad :S
Anyone else find it ironic the song from Titanic was playing in the background?
Music was added in post production lol
Please guys stop adding this animation at the beginning of your videos. it SUCKS !!
it’s not a party until you overturn a large boat
5 stars for music
Aamazing, i was there, in Mexico on these boats too, a month ago. Small World.
Finally an entry fully deserving the title “All aboard the failboat”.
I usually find the background music annoying or unnecessary, but in this case, it completely made the video! Hilarious.
very dangerous fail!!!
Why do you need to put a “win” in every movie?? If it’s a fail, I really don’t need the same movie again with a “win” before it!
so many dead people to count..
Soundtrack Win.
People of the World, Hear Me. When the deck is in the water, it is not Stable. it is Sinking. Trust me, I’m a naval architect.
I hope nobody drowned.
666 comments.

Fine! I’m outta here!
#36
All Aboard the FAIL BOAT!
Disculpen, espero puedan entenderme, posiblemente tenga errores si manifiesto mi sentir en inglés. Soy un periodista mexicano, y a pesar de que me encante su blog, ciertamente en este lugar murió gente. Se me hace de pésimo gusto que publiquen algo así, les solicito muy atentamente que retiren su video. Gracias.
In resume.
People die in this accident… I ask you to remove the video from your page.
Thank u.
Barrel Roll FAIL

It’s the music that does it for me.
LOL Mexico
Looks like there were to many churros
BACKGROUND MUSIC
D
is that the song from Titanic???
filipino?
Crap!
music win!
My troll senses are tingling. There is a troll around here. One that doesn’t know the ways of respect and niceness. One who doesn’t know what subtlety is. Sadly, Godwin’s law has already gone into effect below, which is in very, very bad taste.
