That commute is a real pisser!
And I thought it was bad in Phoenix
I don’t think he’s signalling properly. But at least he’s checking over his shoulder before changing lanes.
I think he’s yelling at the guy that swerved in his lane.
The question is has he broken the speed limit?
*Squeeze*
HEY!!!
.
*squeeeeeeeeeze*
How have you been today? and this week, for that matter because of my studying, this month?
I’m stressing today. I have a group project due for an online class, and one member is a total slacker and isn’t doing his part.
.
How’s your schoolwork going?
parenting fail? The kid is just a commuter, on his way to work at the Nike factory.
this is in Korea- so he prob is going to a better school than any of us ever did
You have obviously never worked in the Korean education
system.
Have you?
Well they got that kid driving to school all by himself, AND checking his blind spots. I fail to see how the parents should not be congratulated on a job well done with their son.
American education doesn’t teach you THAT when you’re 3.
I was going to say – Korean schools are pretty awful. I work in one, believe me.
Have you?
They should have taught that kid to look ahead when riding his bike.
lol?
l
lolol
awesome prenting fail
agreed! how little these outsiders know!
Not to mention the trike hes riding is probably better built and safer than american cars.
You clearly have never worked in a Korean school. Believe me, I do, and they’re not better.
wtf? What do you believe to know about the Korean schools?
I’m a Professor at a Korean University. The quality of education varies a lot, just like in the States. However, the average Korean student studies five times harder than American kids.
School is out for summer.
He’s probably going to get circumcised.
http://failblog.org/2009/05/06/summer-vacation-fail/#comments
And what lane is she changing to?When you’re riding a tricycle, the road is full of lanes.
Or did I misunderstand your question?
If that kid doesn’t get off the road, s/he’s going to be changing planes.
Hee!
Grand theft tricycle.
Safety first…glad even a kid knows that
No, no. Safety is third!
What’s first.
Sorry I’m new at driving
Unlocking the car. DUH!But I ate the doors.
Turning the car on then?*takes out baconlube*
This is sure to turn it on.
I don't think we're on the same page.*Checks page number*
52 right?
Whoa, what are doing on 52? We're only on page 36.I’m on 42, but I worked ahead. Sorry… *hangs head in shames*
What was first? I know profit was in there somewhere.
1) Purchase car
2)???
3)Safety
4) Profit!!!!
3 is safety. 6 is profit. 4 is don’t get between DW and AA. Pretty good rules for both failblog and the roads.
5 is always blank?
Rule number five is “there is no rule nuber five”
“Do not talk about rule number five”
And whatever you do, do not mention nuber five. It’s extremely jealous because (number) Five is Alive!
the is no nine because 7 ate 9
tee hee heee I am so clever
5 is right out!
*chucklesnork*
Not a bad thing to be infamous for, is it sweet stuff?
Nope! *grin*
Anyone that interferes while we’re making passes is going to experience some serious road rage.
Absolutely. You can turn them into street pizza with your spatula and I’ll cook ‘em with my *FOOOOM!!!*
See? Like right here. Don’t get in here.
B…but…but I don’t LIKE anchovies on my pizza!
*snork*
*flips fluffy back in her bowl, accidenty knocks the air out of aikiwaza*
Why do cats always get underfoot?
*looks at own little floof-pile*
It’s in their natures. I still like having them around, though.
*materializes*
HA!
*de-materializes*
Step 1: Steal Underpants
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!
(Who doesn’t remember the underpants gnomes?!)
You sir, are a god for even thinking of that. I forgot all about that episode. Those rules only apply in Jersey.
No, the third rule was no drowning remember.

TAXI TRANNING
I just starting my tranning.
Racing?
He was running away from the street sweeper.
AKA Boy Catcher….
not to be confused with Micheal Jackson
Wouldn’t you, if you saw that thing creeping along behind you?
No.
I’d fight it
No.
I’d buy it a sparkly…just cause it might like one.
The driver behind her is like "F***! I can't up with her!"Nitros will do it
I think he/she ran that yellow light.s/he should be pulled over and given a breath test: “Sorry, you’re over the limit on sugar. You have the right to cry and whimper, you have the right to have your bankee with you. If you don’t own or cannot afford one, a bankee will be appointed to you.”
Damn Pixy Stix addict!
They always think the sugar won’t affect their driving.
I have to ask…
How did you do the backwards lettering in your name?!?! Is it an HTML tag? Not it cant be, I looked at the source…?
ɯoɔ˙ǝlʇıʇdılɟ (among others)
I do believe that is a little boy, not a girl.
Looked like a girl to me at first. Now, I honestly can't tell.Androgyny ftw
penis
I think your mom is calling you. Your PB&J sandwich is ready.already ate it
Well, your computer time is finished for the day. It's your nap time.yes mother
……………………………….damn bastard
I hope he has a driver license…
At least he is looking over his shoulder before he changes lanes.
Gotta check those blind spots for motorcycles, Yugos and Smart Cars!
His transport’s used by the smartest car men t.
Beat you to it!!
http://failblog.org/2009/05/08/serious-parenting-fail/#comment-411118
Yes you did. Missed it by that much.
In this case he need his m class, for motorcycle licenses.
And a bucket for a helmet.
If his destination is heaven
\I/
Bet he makes it to his destination before the other drivers do!
That kid’s mother is out of camera shot, having a heart attack.
I wouldn’t count on it. In parts of asia, this isn’t that unusual.
Seeing stuff like this makes me want to grab the kid and slap the parent.
Yes, I am that person at the restaurant that will give you dirty looks if you let your kid wander around.
Qualifier to not sound like a typical ignorant American: Korea is very modern and very advanced. So is Taiwan. And Japan is more advanced than the US in about every way.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
Spongebob?
Not all of Korea is modern and advanced. The part I live in still has open sewers and one of the schools I teach at doesn’t even have indoor plumbing.
Also – I see scenes like this every day here.
Uh, not all of Korea is advanced, believe me.
Not as unusual as this.(clickie)That didn't come out right. I meant that this is common.It took me a minute to see the fail in that one.
I have cousins who live in China. They've seen as many as six on a scooter.And that’s nothing compared to the things they’ll stack on a bicycle, tricycle, or donkey cart.
Oh, yeah. I once visited them and it was hilarious.Sorry to interrupt. Ninja I replyed to you on the previous fail waaaay down.
And SK plus the others involved in the discussion, please notice my long reply there. I typed too much to not point it out…
It’s not polite to point.
*points*
*and laughs*
I think the previous fails seriousness more than made up yesterdays total lack thereof.
A good mixture is the key to… whatever. I’m glad if someone read what I wrote. So much effort for nothing would have sucked!
I read everything you write, AE. Thanks for your contribution.
Thank you, Admiral!
*squeeze!*
I always read your posts, too, Arthur.
*squeeze*
Same here. You, the Admiral and several others even make me scroll like an idiot when the 300 barrier is broken.
Hee!
I’m sorry I wasn’t here earlier for so many interesting discussions. But we had a thunderstorm here that was so loud and strong that it set off car alarms all up and down the block. I unplugged all my electronics just in case.
Great, that means it’s headed my way! I’d better start battening down the hatches.
I thought you’d rather hatch bantams.
But I’m not a chicken. Not in that sense anyway!
Hmm. Interesting, to be honest I don't know very much about environmental issues, but I am fed up with the 'green thing' going on here. We don't know if what we're doing is actually helping the environment; it might be hurting it. One of the worst is those damn light bulbs.Not polluting the air, water and earth is a good thing. Or do you think we’re in balance with nature? I don’t think that mother earth waited until we are finally able to blast tons of dirt on her…
If nothing else those “damn light bulbs” are more cost effective than incandescant bulbs. They last considerably longer (it’s been proven) and they use less energy (thus keeping your utility bills lower).
And I think it’s safe to say that what we did to the environment in years past didn’t help it much. And if we know we were hurting it, trying to find the change that we need is all we can do.
Oooh, and btw – green technology creates jobs. Lots of jobs. In Germany green industry and technology is about to take over our car industry as the nations leading branch of employment. And you all know about our car industry…
There’s a rumor in Chicago that they’re putting in a bullet train system. ANd Chi-ton is supposed to be the hub of it. The first line they’re supposed to put in goes to Detroit, to create jobs in a very depressed area. When the line is complete, it will take 1 and 1/2 hours to get from Chicago to Detroit. Other lines are also due to go in, St. Louis, Minneapolis, and a few others.
Chi-toWn! Grrrrr!
I can’t wait for that sea change in thinking about cleaner and renewable technology to occur here, AE.
Doesn’t it happen right now?
Blog ninja must have seen that special on the Glen Beck show where they detailed what you have to do to clean up a broken “green” light bulb. I think if there were no Fox News, Glen Beck, Bill O’Rielly, or anybody with the last name Bush in America your veiw of America would be a little brighter.
*steps on soapbox*
A little under half the population here isn’t sure that global warming is real. Or they think that scientists are still debating the issue. Exxon/Mobil and others do a lot of marketing to strengthen this myth. A few fringe climate-change deniers are ensured an endless supply of funding by energy companies. The media focuses disproportionately on these naysayers. The public doesn’t understand the scientific method: research, publish, peer review, build consensus. Scientific consensus is overwhelming: we are affecting the climate negatively. And the impacts could be devastating. Scientists are cautious by nature, so they tend to understate things. This is all very similar to what happened with tobacco in the 1960′s and 1970′s. Now people finally universally accept that smoking is bad for you. By the time the public finally wakes up to climate risks, it will be too late. 20 years from now, the effects will be so dramatic and obvious, the debate will be long over with.
*gets off soapbox*
*steps on soapbox*
I agree, but I’d like to add that it really doesn’t matter that much whether someone believes in global warming or not. It is not good to release tons and megatons of shit into the atmosphere and into the oceans and rivers. Even if it wouldn’t affect global warming, it certainly isn’t very healthy to breathe or swim in or to drink it. Plus, it isn’t good for this planets flora and fauna. That alone is enough reason to be careful. Oh, and several of our natural resources will be exhausted at some point in time – oil, uranium, coal…
*steps off soapbox*
*applauds*
Do you know the term “seeing is believing?” Well, it isn’t true. People are more than willing to believe in something that can’t be seen and can never be proven, and yet they absolutely refuse to acknowledge hard facts and evidence that point to a certain effect if that means they actually have to give up their luxuries and conveniences.
While you were typing pandas went extinct.
Guess no balkopan for Christmas this year.
Going green does not mean that you are required to be a vegetarian, wear birkenstocks, or not bathe (in other words, you don’t have to morph into a hippie). You just have to be more careful. Yes, it means work. Yes, it means you might not get instant gratification. But really, it’s worth it.
Have you met any children ages 10-20 lately? Their entire existance is instant gratification.
Have you met any children ages 10-20? Their entire existence is instant gratification!
I know. They have been spoiled. They have no idea what’s in store for them. The “real world” is going to eat them alive.
Like have you read any of this stuff about generation “Y” or “next”? They are completely dependent on their parents. Their parents go to their job interviews and then call to yell at the boss when they don’t get the job!!! It’s rediculous. A bunch of my peers still live at home at 24-25. I was out of my moms house at 18!
You know, in Europe it’s not uncommon for children to stay with their parents well into adulthood. There is a strong influence on family. Not that those parents are going to job interviews or anything. As long as the “child” is contributing to the household, it’s not the worst thing in the world.
And because of my genetic disease, I am completely dependent on my mother. Employment is difficult at best. But I help out at her place, and try not to be a nuisance.
*steps on soapbox*
AE and Brewski… I agree with you guys, though I will add that there is some debate as to whether the global change is due to our misuse of resources, or whether there is actually a global cycle that is influencing it as well.
To those who say we aren’t affecting the Earth… go to a big city and try to stargaze. The city lights and pollution make it a lot hazier than if you were miles from the city. Don’t believe me, visit north Alaska.
My view is that while we do influence the planet, we will cause our extinction long before the planet dies. It may take a lot of time to recover, but it won’t die.
*falls through soapbox*
In parts of Europe. The people I know usually left their parent’s homes when they’re 18-22 years old.
But the people I am talking about are more inclined to wine about having to get a job and never contribute a dime to the houshold expenses. (spoiled brats)
*Yeah I read pretty much your entire blog the day we argued over “rape fail”. Your a very interesting person to say the least, glad we are chatting.*
*realizes his comment took to long to right*
And to get back on track, I will say that it amazes me how little kids today will do. I had a ex roommate that refused a job, after being unemployed for 4 months, because the pay was less then 75% of his previous pay. NOTE: His previous pay was an incredible exception in this area, and the roomie doesn’t have the skills or experience to expect that pay.
*steps on soapbox*
*takes a shower*
*steps off soapbox*

Refreshing!
Oh, I get that the kids you’re talking about expect the world to be handed to them on a silver platter, and to not have to do anything to get it. They annoy me too. They have no excuse. They have nothing to endure. And they always seem to buy disposable stuff, or treat what they have as if it is. And they treat each other the same way.
And thank you! I can get a little…. zealous sometimes. Sorry about that.
See? I can say it. Eventually.
word
As you say, Avis…there will be a wake-up call.
Eventually.
I once read a quote about how spoiled and worthless todays youth is. Written by one of the old Greeks (Plato or who ever). Kinda made me hopeful…
It’s true. Every generation has the same complaints about youth. I’ve read parenting manuals that were written in the Middle Ages that sound exactly like what’s being said here.
They had MANUALS?
Lucky them!
Where can I find these, and are they actually helpful, or one of those complex and technical manuals that are better used as fire starter?
It’s easy to criticize the youth; it’s a lot harder to set them an example.
AAmen!
I would agree. I try with my peers (as I am only 25 I do group myself with the youth, though I strive to not be one of the spoiled ones.)
“But the people I am talking about are more inclined to wine about having to get a job and never contribute a dime to the houshold expenses. (spoiled brats)” Maybe where you live, yes. That’s probably not happening in China anytime soon, not after the news story about the dad that gassed his daughter and set fire to the apartment because she was like that (spent $300 a month, never did anything).
*reads Arthur’s post*
*applauds*
Thanks!
*cheers Artorius*
Green is a great way to go, but I’m not completely sold on the personal solar energy units. My uncle had one that powered his AC… that place roasted me a live. Then again, I guess I shouldn’t base my opinions on one incident…but god was it hot.
Thank you! Now I feel a bit like an attention whore…
DANCE!
*sigh*
*dances*
There. Can I go home now?
NO! You must stay and perform for me!
Erm…okay, that came out completely wrong.
Dragon!
*performs for Dragon*
FYI I am not done with our debate, I am enjoying it immensly. I am just intelectually tired. Read your LONG post..read excerpt from “the European Dream” online, then read counter arguments…
I can make some fart noises and yell “PHOTOSHOPED!!1!!” if that would help ease your mind?
BTW, ^^^ all meant in good humor, no slight intended!
SK, me neither. Bring it on…
Between doing no work, and posting on here constantly I think I have found a balance I can live with.
I knooooooow I missed it…I’m really sorry I did.
But, for the record, I pretty much agree with everything you said.
All this time I’ve been reading “sofaking” as “so faking”.
Then it dawned on me it probably is “sofa king”.
So… which is it? Or is it “sof aking”?
*WHACKS Brewski on head with spatula!*
*SNORK!*
For answer look up Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Video Oiuji episode.
Ow!
*rubs lump on head*
*reads wikipedia entry*
Ooooh… that’s it… “I am Sofa King, we Todd Ed”.
Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
Uh, wait… I don’t get it.
:rolls eyes: I KNOW you are not sofaking slow!
Ok, I confess, I got it. But I have never seen ATHF. Heard it’s good though. I don’t watch any TV. Got too much else going on! Important stuff, like, um… posting stupid messages on Failblog.
BTW, didn’t even notice the nesting WIN!
*high fives Avis*
Hee! I love this place!
*high fives Brewski*
Or cheering him on. Or most likely taking the pic for FB.
LOL
ΓΟΓ
BTW, I have found me an avatar. However, I can find nothing at Gravatar.com that will allow me to upload it and use it here. Help?
Add an image button?Just upload it on gravatar. You don’t need to do anything for it to show up here. Make sure you use the same email address to post that you registered on gravatar.
Ah! Thank you Brewski! Let’s see if it works now.
YES! I have an avatar. Interesting though, it looks like an oriental (warrior? budda”), but it is called airman. Curious that.
*sneaks back, removes quote and replaces with question mark.* Dang.
Thanks, been wondering how you guys get avatars here.
Leave the kid alone, he’s late for work.
Wish my damn kids would get a job, already.
My kid already has a tough time. She puts in long hours of crying her ass off and shitting her pants.
Mmm… I so can’t wait to have another baby…
Turns out that was the easy part.
Glad I only have one, and she turns 4 later this month. I never did have a ‘baby fix’ need. Babies just aren’t that cute to me. Too much work.
No offense to my daughter but i hate babies. I wanted like 4 when I got married, but now if she told me she was pregnant again I think I would have to go all Scott Peterson on her.
There are tons of people that are not fans of babies. They just don’t say anything because the ones that go all stupid-crazy over seeing a baby will try to make the non-fan feel bad about not liking babies.
Well said you baby hater.
*pushes SRH into a vat of BaconLube*
Ewwwww look at me! I’m covered in bacon lube! I better make it home before Moomin finds out..(fears potato)
babies, bacon-lube and potatoes? Will you have….
Tater Tots?
*sorry, I had to*
Babies, BaconLube and potatoes? Should we be expecting…..Tater Tots?!
*sorry, I had to*
Woah! I thought I was the only person on the planet that thought like that! No kids yet, but likely soon. ONE, thankyouverymuch.
I’m still a baby. I’m my own cutie.
Can you stop by my place? My g/f has a baby hankering. The ol’ “biological clock” thing. Maybe if you came by and cried a lot and crapped your pants, she’d think twice about wanting kids.
I just finished a Quesadilla. Be there in 20min.
Woo hoo!!! I can come out of the baby-hating closet now!
Ok.. not exactly a baby-hater, but I never found them cute or adorable or desirable. The mother-instinct/want-to-have-a-baby-desire never kicked in for me.
Me, too! All my babies (10 of them) have four legs! Seven cats, three dogs… yeah, I’m crazy!
I like other peoples kids. That way I can give ‘em back.
My sentiments exactly.
Ya know, she wouldn’t keep shitting her pants if you would just quit feeding her!
When she’s crying if you ignore her and leave the house like for a movie, by the time you’re back she’ll have cried herself to sleep. Problems solved.
err…
nice avatar. dnd 4e ftw!
*finishes nerding*
Welcome to Korea!
wow this korea place is pretty cool
Well it depends whether it’s north or south
That is most definitely NOT North Korea.
Have you ever seen a satalite image of Korea at night? South Korea is like all lit up and North Korea is completely dark.
Actually, it generally sucks.
In Korea, only old people drive cars.
Hmmmm… Korea suspiciously looks like my office.
No horse power I guess
Turtle power does just fine

This is a win…The first kid to do as his parents told him
“go play in the traffic “.lol
What a road hog!
This is my first comment. Hello.
This is a reply. Hello back.
This is not a reply to the reply and this is not a hello.
Not that it’s not not a reply, because it’s not.
Well said!

This one you tend to hear as much as see.
Children are to be ‘scene’ and not ‘herd’?
But I love hearing this ninja!
Have you ever attempted to herd children? It can be quite a scene!
bravo and with a nice sword thrust to blog ninja.
Nice to meet you mi(n)santhrope.
spelling error. i should fix that.
I thought so, but I didn’t want to assume. Ok, I take that back. I assumed.
kinda takes the wind right out of the sails of my first comment. such is life, i suppose.
Oh don’t worry about it. We have a bukkit for that. Welcome.

police will stop him and make a breathalyzer test
He’ll shoot down a hundred coppers before going back to jail.
The high speed chase won't stop until the cops pull out the spike strips. Even then, he won't go down without a fight.He’s probably packing heat.
Bet he’s wearing a bullet-proof vest under that little red tank top.

I want to ride my tricycle
I want to ride it where I like. . .
I can ride my trike with no handle bars,

I’ve got a bike, you can ride it if you like.
It’s got a basket, a bell that rings, and things to make it look good.
I’d give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

Wtfudge was he (or his parents) THINKING?!
Quite funny though, i must admit.
I don’t think eating that kid will make me any smarter.
no. the little ones tend to be too tough anyway. (marinate toddlers for best results).
ps im new here. what exactly is this place?
Welcome to South Korea. We are NOT third world.
-brought to you by the South Korea Tourism Ministry.
Korea Sparkling!
Hahahahaha!
I still prefer “Seoul of Asia”.
i like how the camera man took the time to take the picture instead of rushing out to save the kid. That’s probably as much of a fail as the damn kid in the street.
Personal stereotype: Asians are more attentive drivers than Americans.
A typical American is talking on the phone, drinking coffee, putting on makeup, and reading the morning paper while attempting to navigate rush-hour traffic. So I imagine the kid was okay.
I remember reading in an Amy Tan book that in China, if a driver hits and kills another person, they are responsible for them in the next life. Or something like that. I need to get another copy of that book and look it up.
And, yes, I realize that Korea is not China.
Clearly you have never driven in Korea.
-sigh- it’s not like all americans consist of whites.
it would be nice to clarify yourself, such as saying
“asians are more attentive drivers than white americans” or something similar.
if you’re referring to americans as a whole, it’ll sound weird to say
“asians are more attentive than asian americans” because it makes the statement contradictory.
is your stereotype based on much travel to big asian cities? i haven’t been to korea (where the picture is taken). in a big chinese city, that kid would be dead. cars go highway speed for the states in city streets and everything is going to fast to take much notice of things like stop lights or people. in a big filipino city, cars are going so slow that that kid would be fine.
i’m just wondering where your profound stereotype is based on.
Hey, the kid looks like s/he’s doing fine to me! What does s/he need saving from?
Michael Jackson.
In his defence, it does say “sorry” in the reflection.
Good eye! *laughs hysterically*
He kinda looks like a she. I think I see pony/pig tails. But w/e, I’m pretty sure the biggest fail in this picture isn’t gender identification fail.
You’re seeing things, my dear. That’s definitely a boy.
… Ah, I see it now. What I thought to be a pig tail was a car tire. I totally don’t need glasses.
Is it just me, or….is there anyone else here who CANNOT see a head on this child? The closest thing I see to a head actually looks like a giant foam geisha-looking head.
He is looking to his left.
I will just say for the record that as a color blind individual it did take me a bit of time to clearly define the head. To me it looks like a reflection on the parked car and a bit of tire.
so were both of your parents cousins AND ignorant?
Were your parents a horse and a donkey? Was the insult really necessary? I’m just not seeing it right. That doesn’t make me inbred.
*Checks*
Yep…just you.
But that’s okay for a Friday!
Thank you, BT. On the umpteenth time looking at it, the head suddenly appeared. Spontaneous head regeneration win!

Um, any chance this is a shop job, like almost every other ridiculous post on this site… also, Korea is a far more developed place than most parts of America: your global lesson of the day.

Oh, I miss Loz and her red pen. She’s skewer these yahoos.
remarknig upon the fact that Manhattan is spelled with two As? If it had been spelled right the first time i would have said that Dr. Manhattan is not dead, but is actually off playing G-d somewhere
HAH!!! I, myself, fail miserably.
*snatches ‘s’ and replaces with ‘d’ in previous post*
It appears to be common for this particular thread. Nearly every single post!
Actually, if you spelled it right, it has 3. Let’s count again. Yep, 3.

Manhattan
That didn't work.S’OK, we know what you were trying to do.
Uh, not all of it. The part of Korea I live in has open sewers and one of the schools I work at doesn’t even have indoor plumbing. Not all of Korea is Seoul. In fact, most of it is not.
You have to be kidding. Although I would agree that Korea is more developed in technology, the country is a garbage dump. Just check out their sewer systems. And filled with the most racist people on the globe, Koreans, slightly beating out the Japanese.
And yes, I’ve lived and worked in Korea. Leaving in two weeks to work with the Korean Ministry of Ed, so there.
I think it’s a taxi service. She has a back seat

not even a bucket either

*SQUEEZE* Was wondering when you were going to materialize
This is something that shouldn’t be considered funny. Failblog just lost some credit in my book.
I’m sure it will balance out.
It always does.
Just leave it a loan for awhile.
So it can collect interest.
That would be mature.
Or extortion, depending on whose side you’re looking at it from.
I’m not sure what would account for that though
too soon?
**completely off topic warning** I demand reparations for the villainous tyranny of insects in the warmer months of the year. All winter Demeter mourns Persephone as she lays in bondage with Hades, and we suffer the cold. Many of us have to contend with SADs. We bear bitter winds and freezing rain, blizzards and ice storms. After months of dry broken skin and pneumonia epidemics we are freed to the warmth of the sun. Gaia finally turns herself to face Apollo and the weather turns. Then, as if on cue the disgusting, crawling, flying, biting, stinging, infesting minions of the earth return to lord over the earth. They drive us into hiding (at least me). They invade all of our out-door activities. I do not want flies in my coleslaw; I do not want ants in my potato chips, or bees in my soda. god, do I ever hate these little annoying daemons! We must stand in alliance and destroy all insects. Sure, then we’ll have to pollinate our own plants, but I can handle that. This endeavor may even create new jobs. You’ll all have to do without honey, but I’m sure we can develop a comparable synthetic. Band together all my friends and we can conquer this enemy. (You’ll have to kill them for me, though. I’m afraid of them.) *thank you for this forum*
*Comes out in a warfare outfit, with variety of bug killers, ranging from OFF to RAID.*
Aren’t they an important part of the life cycle of many ecosystems?
*Exchanges warfare kit*
*Changes into swimming trunks*
I’ll just make do with bug spray, thanks you very much.
hope there are no bugs in that pool….though I seem to remember those trap things at the side that you have to empty the June bugs from…..Just saying.
Ah, Toronto doesn’t seem to get that many June bugs, well the region around me for that matter. Bugs aren’t too prominent, just at night and in the marshy areas like kleinberg.
There is no way I will enjoy life without honey…or duct tape!
Ehem, duck tape….I know, I know, it’s a long story….but here it’s duck tape.
*waits for it*
He’s just sofaking wrong, I can’t even begin.
I prefer to fix things with screw drivers. With extra Belvedere!! OOOHHH SHIT.
*we on a boat!!!*
*I’m feeling silly again*
*takes written account of “snorks” today*
Okay I think we are good.
*hands Avis “it”*
*sigh*
*raises one eyebrow*
Isn’t that all that you have been waiting for? I thought that you would be a little happier than that.
*sigh*
I was kind of expecting Dragon or the Admirable Admiral to let him have it.
Understood Avis, I knew it all along, but as they didn’t I wanted to cheer you up. Now for a moment ruiner, what ever happened to Christopher?
I have no idea. People come and go here sometimes.
Ya, but, but, but, your fail wedding, I already got my outfit purchased and everything. That kind of stuff, shouldn’t end just like that.
*pinches Emperor’s cheeks*
Haven’t done that in a while! hehe
Not much I can do about it.
It’s possible that real life reared it’s ugly head and is keeping him busy.
Thanks jam. Avis I guess all I can offer you is some comfort then.
*Squeeze*
Abstract…there are literally tears in my eyes….you just captured my ENTIRE VIEW OF THE BLOOD SEASONS…. *sniff* That was poetry. Where do I sign up?
Ummm… we need the bees to cross pollinate the plants. *ducks*
nah, we can do so artificially. See the botom of my post. I suggest we do so, and that is could create more jobs.
Come on now what kind of person doesn’t like flies in their coleslaw. Expand your horizon and live a little.
I think it is the volume of buggage that is the problem. During the winter you still get your few very determined 1000 legger that wants to live and escapes the cold by entering your home. This doesn’t happen to much during the warmer months as far as they are concerned, although the few brave insects you may have seen during the winter are replaced with ants, lady bugs, flies, mosquitos, and spiders who try to invade your personal space and set up shop in your coleslaw. This is where I eat, and this is where they die! I’m fully equipped with my Raid and Fogger, let’s get to work.
lolz, ok well you weird bug eater….um. eeeewe! The Eurlich man came to my apartment to spray for ants when I was in college. The smell of the exterminating spray gets into everything…even your mouth. It is emblazoned on my mind, I can taste it now. I want to tent a 5 mile radius around my apartment, and work, etc… and fog it ’till the end of time. Die bugs, Die!!!
Heh, I’m the weirdo that escorts bugs out of the office and sets them on their merry way. I happily coexist with bugs with few exceptions–one of them being mosquitoes, and even then it’s only hand-to-bug warfare.
If for any reason the bug (any bug – spiders too) is crawling on me, it dies. Unless it stings, then I sit reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaly still and wait for it to leave. Then I pass out.
Hee! I used to feel this way. Then I was bitten by a brown recluse and my doggie was stung in the eye by a wasp. I’m afraid I’m much more of a “swat now and ask questions later” kinda gal now.
I spent 4 days in the emergency room with Lyme disease. This area is swarming with infected deer ticks. Lyme, Connecticut is a bit south of here.
*fantasizes about a kills-ticks-only atom bomb*
Heh, I can understand that Dragon. I did say with few exceptions, and ticks would be included on that list, Brewski. Still, selectively dealing with a few potentially harmful individuals is a far cry from breaking out the cans of whoop-abdomen.
True. I don’t do poisons or sprays or anything like that.
Ticks…*shudder!*
I must admit…I enjoy the satisfying “pop” they make when they release intact.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
Oooo AA! I’m one of those weirdos, too! With the exception of fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. I escort them onto a piece of paper, then walk them to the window.
I try to save the good ones, like mosquito hawks (they EAT mosquitos.) My cats on the other hand, don’t give anything crawling much chance. If they see a crawly, it’s bat-bat-bat-munch! Then, of course, they throw it up on the carpet for me to step in. Ha!
Hehe, you and I bro.
Don’t worry, bee happy!
This also appears to be a good samaritan fail. I’d like to know if the photographer got out of his/her car to make sure the little guy didn’t get run over.
That would entail him voiding the fail, and you are suggesting that this photographer didn’t enjoy everyone else’s jesting.
“I swear he’s gaining on me…”
Chh chh chh hah hah hah kill kill kill…
roflmao!
Alrighty failbloggerinos. See you all next week
I hope your weekend is rain free, fair weathered and fun.
Have fun!
I should be going too. I have some cleaning to do.
See you!
Toodles!
My heart clutched at this one, really – images of children in danger do me in. I wish I knew for certain that this was (a) ‘shopped or (b) taken half a second before somebody ran into the street and snatched that baby out of the traffic.
Maybe thon is looking back because thon’s mom is yelling and running to get thon?
I’m surprised no one even questioned the whole “thon” thing. A lot of people have no idea what it means.
What’s this “thon” thing you’re talking about?
It’s a non-gender specific way of saying “he” or “she” without resorting to “it”.
Thon = a mashup of The One? It’s a Matrix child!!
Haha. Sadly, no, this was taken in Korea and I see this sort of thing on a daily basis.
Seriously, we got it the first five times you said it. Most of the people you are responding to aren’t here any more. There really isn’t any need to repeat yourself quite this often.
Only five times? I could have sworn it was more.AARRRRGGG!! This is the third time I’ve tried to post!!!
As to the repeat offender up there, I was being kind.
Now, what I think keeps tripping up the filter is the website I keep trying to link to. Go check out Go Fug Yourself. Google it if you have to. The first post that shows up is about NF!! It totally made my day!
I laughed.
See, the thing is I HAVE NF. And any media coverage is GREAT!!
Oh, well then, congrats. I guess.It’s a little person, not a child. Look at the limbs and head rotation. Still a funny picture though.
Is it bad that I *snork*ed?
Only if you haven’t seen the real “On a Boat” video. Hillarious.
*3 more snorks could cause a snorkquake in southeast asia*
I can’t believe it’s not fake :OO
I recognize! Chuck Norris it is! And either he is looking for some victims, or made 3 girls pregnant just by looking around…
Hey, maybe Korea has a really really low minimum driving age.
YAY KOREA!!!
All the drivers are crazy there…even the kids!
Hi it’s Vince with a tricycle!
Play-Dough bills got you down?
Can’t get a job because you’re
Too young to drive into town?
You’re gonna love this. See?
You don’t need a license to drive one of these.
And that’s because they’re so safe.
These dealers, they’re trying to sell you these cars
They’re death traps! Forget about them!
Buy a tricycle and I guarantee you’ll lose weight
And build lean muscle.
And the ladies, well they love a guy
Who’s in shape.
Where do you think I got this bite mark from?
NOT in a car seat, not even in a seat belt.
The kids here don’t wear seatbelts in cars, either.
That’s not a child, it’s a doll.
It’s Jack, coming back for the kid who saw him the other day.
hahaha very funny
i don’t have anything to say.
just thought i’d mention that.
so long and thanks for all the fish
That’s in Korea, and sadly, I seem similar scenes here (in Korea) every day.
Do cars always park on the sidewalks in front of the stores?
For me it’s a WIN.
If it weren’t for the Korean characters on the signs, I would have thought this was taken in America, which wouldn’t have shocked me.
Why, because it's a city? They're not an American invention, you know.Beer through the nose kinda hurts. Just so you know.
*apologizes*
Oh, no need. I was just making an observation.
I guess I'll just take note then.And another observation: that kid’s shadow is… odd.
And there's a person in the background about to be run over by a car running the yellow light.Ummm… did you guys like the big red button site? I found another fun one. But you have to turn your sound WAY up. And stick with it for about a minute.
This is, of course, always assuming the link works.
I knew what was coming so it didn't scare me. (Clickie)My cursor disappears on that site. I can’t even get it to the dratted dot!
I had no idea what was gonna happen. I googled “what’s wrong with this picture” because I’m weird like that. I jumped about three feet. And I was lying down!
Your cursor was the blue dot.HAHAHA… I actually quite enjoyed that.
I love your avatar, reikaikorahi!
As long as he obeys all the traffic laws, , I don’t see what could go wrong.
Hey! That kid stole my tricycle! Give it back!
Citizen Fail for grabbing your camera before grabbing the child!
hey sweet game go to wcougar25.mybrute.com
hey sweet game go to wcougar25 . mybrute . com
Somebody better breath test that kid
Somebody should nose-test Avis. Apparently that’s where the beer is.
Clickie the link. I dare you!
No! Mine's better!Maybe that’s not a kid at all. Maybe he’s a midget on his way to work.
And maybe trycicles are way, way more popular than cars in Korea and we just don’t know it.
Think about that.
*thinks*
*awards Harold the gift of flight in honor of his profound insight*
wtf
this is Korea..
Looks like a green win to me.
Did anyone explain why there is a “Sorry” sign on the dashboard of the car in which the photo was taken.
Wow..Comments can start with a kid on a tricycle then move on to “going green” and then move back to looking at the details of the picture…
I’m starting to think that the comments are a completly dofferent fail themselfs, all you have to do is take a picture of some comments, post it, and you have the best fail: human stupidity, at it’s most powerfull place, the failblog comments.
Hit the road, guy… you know not of which you you speak.
IMMA FIRIN MY LAZORS!
Who would have known, that this kid, Lance, would rise to the pinnacle of his sport. He would overcome a massive challenge, and rise to the top again. In this photo he’s just looking back at the cars he overtook along the way…
Speedy-gone-zoLance?
ok this is korea. as an american that has lived here for 4+ years, i can tell you that this type of thing happens all the time. kids run wild over here with no parent in sight. they don’t use seatbelts or car seats for that matter either. they have embraced public urination and defecation. i had a car pull up outside my apartment the dad take the kid out of the back seat and hold him while he took a crap in the middle of the road. i have yet to see that in america. for everyone getting mad at the photographer citing the good samaritan excuse: there is no good samaritan law in korea. in america you can help a stranger using cpr and they can’t sue you. in korea, if you try to help someone and they die, their family can go after you with the whole extent of the law. therefore koreans will never go out of their way to help someone for fear that they will get prosecuted to the full extent of the law or sued by the family. an american teenager died in a sauna out here by drowning in an inch of water. there were at least 10 koreans in the room that did nothing. the parents who were downstairs were not even notified until the ambulance showed up an hour later to take the body away.
and for those who are saying korea is so much more amazing than america, give me a break. korea is completely ghetto. the best they have to offer is seoul and i can name several big cities in america that are better. this country can’t even figure out how to do correct waste management. why do you think it smells so bad over here?
lol
actually… that could happen in taiwan or china with no f-in problem. in the US people would go OH MY GOOOOD!! and there would be much horn honking and maybe some screaching brakes to emphasize safety issue. in taiwan the car is simply going to slow and drive around the kid. no f-in problem.
I live just around the corner, and what you don’t see is the numerous scooter delivery guys. Trust me, the boy is much safer in the street than on the sidewalk with the scooters!
That is clearly a little person, not a child – the proportions aren’t accurate for a child of that size.
Was going to make a “one child” joke, but then I realized it’s Korea, not China.
LOL.. at least he knows which way the traffic is flowing..
Are we sure this isn’t a tricycle land speed record win?
on his way home from anuthr long day at the LG factory…. smart kid, saving on petro
it’s in china somewhere so i’m sure the kid’s fine. everyone does whatever the hell they want to over there.

Welcome s-head, as promised I will only reply to you here.
I don’t understand, I never asked you to answer anything!
how did you get that pic by your name
gravitar.com
how do you put it there
On gravitar or Failblog?
failblog
It is linked with your email, so you just have to sign up with one in gravitar, empty your cache, and then wait, it can take as little as 5mins, or as long as 12 hours, it just depends on how many people are changing their gravitars at the same time.
Fail
“This will be my last reply to you on this thread as you are probably bothering some of the others, if you want to continue this “discussion”, I suggest you do so on an older fail, might I suggest the Serious Parenting Fail? I will respond to you there if you wish to continue with your inept insults.” <- That’s all i said.
I’m the guy you said “GAYNOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! YOU FUKING NAZI!!! ILL KILL YOU!!” to. As to the dyslexia thing, I know a lot of people suffering from it, and judging by your comment, I would be inclined to presume you were putting it on for reasons known only to yourself.
Which part did you not understand?
I didn’t say “y3s”, so I don’t think that you could’ve misunderstood that part.
Who called you gay?
How come that you sometimes manage to reply and sometimes not? You’re not too smart, are you?
Fair enough. I’d ignore him if I was you and he was calling me gay.
who are you guys talking to
s-head.
Could you please click ‘Reply to this Comment’ when responding to someone, as it is quite hard to tell to whom you’re talking/referring to when you just post at the bottom.
i have to go see you
Bye
Thanks
He has an epileptic seizure! Apparently he jerks in spasms on his keyboard. Somebody call a doctor!
*calls* the nice men in the clean white coats should be along shortly.
Isn’t this a ‘deleted scene’ from Look Who’s Talking
the kid on the bike looks really fake…
ROAD HOG!!!
one of the many stupid things i considered doing as a kid
and i thought korean drivers were bad…
seems like a generational thing.
|the kid|
LOL, I think he’s driving to work!
More like cameraman fail… who takes the time to take a picture rather than saving the child from the street?
go kid go!!!
The kid isn’t watching where he’s going. All he needs to drive while asian is a cell phone and car.
That’s a photo from Korea. I served in Korea. You see this a lot. Kids seriously never get hit by cars there… Kind of makes you question darwin a bit…
wow serious parenting fail, they forgot to tell their kid to buckle up, such idiots
now why the hell is that person taking the time to take a photo when he/she should be getting out of the car and getting the little kid off the damn road?
cuz its not his child u twat
lol its chinese
