  1. MRN says:

    …and eaten.

    • DFL says:

      Only if you pay double.

    • MRN says:

      There’s also this sign, mentioned in a previous fail by Velvet. (click)

      • fluffy lorem ipsum says:

        Haha.. that’s just mean! I’m sure it’s effective.

        • 12345 says:

          My sister works at Starbucks and somehow managed to come by a button that has the exact same thing on there except replace “puppy” with “Kitten.”

    • killjoy says:

      Who would post something like this, it makes me think that both the posters and the moderators saw this and though, “haha, epic fail, they should have said car, upvote!” This is clearly an attempt at humor too subtle for the cheeseburger network.

      • I’d like to politely correct you there. Failblog is proud NOT to be part of the ICHC group. We are free from inane comments that don’t make any sense grammatically, or would make English teachers foam at the mouth.

        • arimareiji says:

          Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

          I’m not sure I would completely agree with that statement, but at the least I think it’s fair to say that anyone who says “goggiez” would be ROFLed out of the room.

        • Blaine says:

          Umm…Failblog is part of ICHZ. It’s right there next to the FB logo on the upper left corner. And I agree with killjoy; this is not appropriate for this site. It is obviously an attempt at humor, however weak.

          • Yes, but we wince whenever someone reminds us off that. The atmosphere here is DEFINITELY different to that of normal ICHC sites.

            • arimareiji says:

              Cheezpeach is kinda like the “special” cousin who sits in the corner and comes up with names for all his toes during family reunions.

              I only frequent celebs, news, and failblog – is it prevalent anywhere except cats?

              • Dragonwriter says:

                So…wait. Blaine is saying that this is a failed attempt at humo(u)r, and is wondering why it ended up on a fail site?

                *whispers* I won’t tell him if you won’t!

                • arimareiji says:

                  Eh, I think I follow his logic flow:
                  1) It’s a funny unintentional fail: Belongs.
                  2) It’s an unfunny unintentional fail: Doesn’t belong, unless the posters’ snarky comments can make it funny.
                  3) It’s a funny intentional joke: Win, maybe it belongs if it illustrates someone else’s fail.
                  4) It’s an unfunny intentional joke: Fail, but doesn’t belong unless the posters’ snarky comments can make it funny.

                  This one is a 3 that belongs, but it seems like we’ve seen a lot of 4’s lately. And not all of them belonged.

                  • Admiral Apparent says:

                    1. She
                    2. You’re over thinking it.
                    3. If you have a sense of humo(u)r, you can choose to interpret the fail in a way that makes it funny, regardless of original intent.
                    4. If you don’t have a sense of humo(u)r, someone will be along shortly to demonstrate how it works.

                    • Dragonwriter says:

                      Erm….yeah. I was just being a smartass. :p

                    • arimareiji says:

                      1. Thank you for the information; without any context Blaine isn’t definitive gender-wise.
                      2. Says the person who replies with a secondary analysis. ^_~
                      3. Thank you for reiterating the point I made, which is that frequently the posters’ comments (i.e. interpretation) are what makes a fail funny. But I would disagree with your assertion that every fail can be made funny, or even a strong majority. Unless you’re Robin Williams – he could probably top 95%.
                      4. Someone with a sense of humor will be along shortly? That’s always good news. Let me know when they get here.

                      • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                        If you haven’t seen it by now… well what could I say. You have your view now, I just hope you don’t get set in your ways.

                        • arimareiji says:

                          Seen what, pray tell? Can you define “it,” or is it one of those things that vanishes when you try to apply logic?

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          There have been many people with a sense of humo(u)r that have posted here. If you have not seen that accumulation of people posting, the it refers to a summation of posts and people a scene right in front of you that you may be oblivious to, then what could I say. Logic applied, and it still stands. Hmm who woulda thunk it.

                        • arimareiji says:

                          “I’m right. You should have seen that by now. If you don’t see that I’m right, you’re wrong.”
                          That’s not logic, that’s solipsism.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          Naw, you broke it down wrong there. I didn’t assume the consequent. I merely cleared up what you did not find clear. What I was referencing by the it. Though if you would like to say that no one of humo(u)r has come along and posted. Then well you are denying a reality, in which case proof, empirical or theoretical is useless.

                        • arimareiji says:

                          So far, you’ve said that “it” is something which you say I should have seen. When I ask what that is, you say it’s something which I should have seen.
                          If you want to be gnomic, more power to you. But if you want to engage in logic or claim to have spoken clearly, a non-circular definition of what you’re talking about would be in order. I.e. not “‘it’ is something I understand and you don’t and so I don’t need to explain it.” Until then, have fun.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          No you see, what I did was clarify what I meant by it. I said it was the collection of people who had been posting here for the whole time. Not our current instance but the entirety. You seem to be avoiding this part and clinging on to the part where I said you “may” be choosing not to see it. I leave that there as any good logician knows reality is what we make it, it is subjective. I may believe that I can walk through walls, and so walls may not affect me. Someone who believes two solids cannot pass through each other, well they will no see it as that is the reality they accept.
                          “Let me know when they get here.” This sentence right here shows me that you believe this person has not come at all, so it is you that are assuming the consequent and not allowing for the possibility that the person has already arrived. ;)

                        • arimareiji says:

                          Nooooo, I’m saying for the fourth time that you keep refusing to define what you meant by ‘it’ when you said “If you haven’t seen it by now… well what could I say.”

                          I’m beginning to believe you didn’t know what you meant either.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          It, simply defined in the context I was using referred to the posters. There you have it defined for the third time. If you have not seen a funny poster by now, well what could I say. You have your view now, I just hope you don’t get set in your ways. I even can replace the it in the sentence with the definition I presented you and it works.

                        • arimareiji says:

                          Ah, that explains the mystery. Thank you for pointing out that other people post comments. I would have probably never “seen” that if it weren’t for your keen insight. (X.x)

                          I have no idea why you felt the need to inform me of this, as it has nothing to do with anything I said. And it’s just plain unfathomable how you could have decided I’m “set in [my] ways” of not realizing that other people post comments.

                          But don’t let me stop you; please continue your noble mission of opening people’s minds to the fact that other people post comments. It’ll make the world a better place some day, I’m sure.

                        • arimareiji says:

                          If instead you’re claiming that I was unaware that there are funny posters – which would seem pretty dang obvious, but what do I know – you were rebutting a comment in which I twice said “posters’ snarky comments can make it [any given fail] funny.” So yes, I am aware that there are funny posters. Believe it or not.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          … See, this is what happens when you don;t understand someone. You react and respond back without a clear message. Considering I said you “may” have your mind made up, you are inferring I said that you “are” set in your ways. Hmmm. I said originally that I was responding to your “Someone with a sense of humor will be along shortly? That’s always good news. Let me know when they get here.” Sentence. I said if you hadn’t seen it by now, well what could I say. That you had your view. My it did not refer to the fact that other people posted, but that other people with a sense of humo(u)r had posted. You want to take sentences and morph them so they fit your point of view, well straw man away. It is clear what I wrote, what you are getting upset about is unclear. The sentence that you left off with was what lead me to believe you hadn’t witnessed a funny poster. Now that you have admitted knowledge of the funny posters and therefore leave the possibility that one has previously posted on this page open, my point, this argument is moot. I enjoyed debating with you though. Pleased to meet you arimareiji.

                      • Admiral Apparent says:

                        1. I thought you were addressing Dragonwriter. She’s the she.
                        2. Again, I thought you were analyzing Dragonwriter’s logic flow, since she’s the only one that presented something logical.
                        3. I don’t think that’s what I asserted, but it’s close. Let me rephrase: assuming there is some interpretation that one would find funny, by all means, choose to interpret it that way, regardless of the original intent.
                        4. I was in no way implying nor believingyou didn’t have a sense of humo(u)r. I was referring to the multitude of comments claiming that this was not a “fail”.

                        My apologies for the parts of my post that were not clear.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          1. You’re adorable.
                          2. *squeeze!*
                          3.
                          4. safety
                          5. *smooch!*
                          6. PROFIT!

                        • arimareiji says:

                          1. I tend to use the male pronouns by default; it is a bad habit. For all I know, Blaine is a she too.
                          2. I was replying to Dragonwriter, but referring to Blaine when saying that I believed his/her reasoning might be “Blah blah blah.”
                          3. I could be wrong, but I think we’re saying the same thing two different ways – that the best of all worlds is to look for what’s funny, regardless of categorization. Which is why it doesn’t matter whether the parent or the signmaker is the one who fails in this case. Would that be accurate?
                          4. My apologies for misunderstanding. I’m often awkward with words, both reading and writing.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Nice to make your acquaintance, arimareiji. We’re in agreement about the nature of fails.

                          *gives DW another smooch goodnight*

                        • arimareiji says:

                          Thank you for your patience, and for explaining what you meant. What you were saying was worth understanding, and I hadn’t. And it’s good to make your acquaintance too. ^_^

                  • Blaine says:

                    I like your breakdown, arimareiji, but I differ in that I think that this one is a 4, and doesn’t belong.

                • arimareiji says:

                  I mean, “smooth shafts and clean balls”? Very little potential there, because penis jokes have been beaten half to death. Too hard to get interest up, so the joke just flops and falls limp.

                  • NeroX says:

                    You seem to have a LOT of innuendos in those 3 sentences arimareiji,not only that but you’re actually condemning penis jokes. While making a couple more unintentionally in the same sentences.

                    • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                      What makes you so sure he didn’t intend them? :) We will never know unless he comes straight out and tells us, even then, do we take his word for it? (Disclaimer: His word is good just putting out plausible situations).

                    • kyasarin says:

                      Are you for real? You can’t actually think that comment was unintentional innuendo.

                      • arimareiji says:

                        Thank you, kyasarin. ^_^ But I don’t blame NeroX for not getting it – it’s bloody hard to detect sarcasm these days, in an era overflowing with unintentional self-parody. (Which is why FAILBlog exists.)

                        For the record, I was poking fun at the pool hall owners from a few days ago, by trying to be even more juvenile. I don’t “condemn” innuendo by any means, but I think the blatantly over-the-top “Huh huh huh, he said shaft and balls” subcategory kills brain cells.

                • *whispers* Where can I get one of those signs?!

            • Starling says:

              Right ho, hands up everyone who is a closet LOL-speaker who frequently hangs out at ICHC.

            • Sam888 says:

              I can haz superior attitude?

          • Duh says:

            Are we looking at different pictures? Its obvious that it means candy is on sale.

    • Dragonought says:

      I like the one that says:
      Unatended Children will be given an Expresso and a New Puppy.

  2. JasonK says:

    Tow tow tow…ow?

  3. Mille says:

    It’s not a fail, it’s a joke.

  4. kit kat says:

    Must be one fat kid if he has to get towed…

  5. DFL says:

    Why is he bending over sideways to take a picture?

  6. JasonK says:

    LOL?

  7. razen says:

    this store must be owned by a pedo/michael jackson

  8. Raito crouching fail hidden troll says:

    Darn… I don’t have enough money to get my kid back. :(

  9. Ice bank mice elf says:

    O.o everyone yell “ice bank mice elf” in real life :)

  10. Cloral says:

    I like that guy’s haircut.

  11. thegreyjedi says:

    I think this is far more a win. But I’ve worked retail. Damnable heelies.

  12. Nom_de_Guerre says:

    Double Fail? (parenting/sign)

    • MRN says:

      parenting/sign = 2 X Fail ?? I guess math really is a matter of opinion.

      • JFC says:

        Algebra is always a matter of opinion.
        If parenting/sign = 2Fail then parenting/2 = signFail and . . . well it might be right, it depends on the values of parenting, sign and Fail. Not knowing any of the variables I can’t work out the rest, but Fail is probably negative, and so is parenting, whereas sign should be positive (well, I like it) and that works, I think.

        • Isabella says:

          *scratches head* um… this is why I failed algebra II!

        • gigeoxy says:

          Well, parenting divided among 2 should be easier, and therefore not result in a signFail.

          • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

            When you have half a parenting job, aka leaving the child to roam a store, your result is a sign fail. Which gives us our present situation. So all those posters who are complaining about this not being a fail or it is lame are actually mathematically and algebraically incorrect. Math being one of the purest subjects means you can’t really be any more incorrect.

  13. Miranda says:

    This isn’t even an accident. They make those signs as a novelty thing. My grandmother has one.
    Grandma, you don’t love me! Please, don’t have me towed. D’:

  14. Admiral Apparent says:

    If I towed you once, I’ve towed you a hundred times…

  15. EJade says:

    I’d say that’s more of a win…

  16. cmh says:

    Another failblog qwaliti control fail. This is a stupid joke, not a fail.

  17. Tophy says:

    Creepy silhouette win.

  18. Bradley says:

    I think the pants the picture taker is wearing is a fail. They look like they were made for someone a foot taller than the wearer.

  19. Claire says:

    Nice shoes.

  20. Kenneth says:

    Heh. That’s not a fail, that’s a WIN!

  21. slan agat says:

    A Scottish friend of mine was surprised to hear that when selling a US child to the Gypsies, the Gypsies are free to set their own prices. Apparently in the UK they just weigh the kid, add VAT and have done.

  22. Pixidustbunnie says:

    Totally NOT a fail. Kids are annoying…especially unattended ones. This is a fail fail.

  23. mickey says:

    how much im goin to be charge?/

  24. capt. awesome says:

    Anpu informs me that this is the way you get rid of kids. You don’t leave them in the middle of a desert and drive off. They’ll just find their way back. They’re like cats. You feed them once and then one day, they’re thirty years old and still living in your basement, trolling forums and spouting racial slurs at strangers on Xbox Live.

  25. fakey fakerton says:

    HOW IS THIS A FAIL???????????? IT’S OBVIOUSLY A JOKE.

  26. spunkdroplet says:

    As a parent, I can honestly say… that is an obvious win.

  27. Crow says:

    mwahahaha

  28. Everything you know is wrong!

  29. Eleriel says:

    what with child-obesity being ever on the rise… this could possibly be the correct way to say it…

  30. asstard says:

    This is why I’m glad my mom left me unsupervised.

  31. vbqtovs says:

    I call that a WIN.

  32. coinage says:

    …how is a tacky gag sign a “fail”?

  33. This must be where Micheal Jackson parks.

  34. Strategist says:

    damn failblog monster eating my comments…

  35. Dave says:

    Lamest Fail submission ever.

    • Blog Ninja (Blogmonster) says:

      While I have agree that it is lame, I would also have to point out that there have been much, much worse.

  36. Gracers ya know says:

    Does anyone notice that the sign also refers to the parents as the “owner” of the child? Owned! :P

  37. Phaet says:

    Those kids are fat you know.

  38. Strategist says:

    WTH? What has happened to failblog in the past few weeks since I was away? And why do our comments now need moderation??? What’s happening to FB?
    .
    Out of interest, can I still operate my bar?

  39. loopy78 says:

    Mine are unattended. Will you tow them now? Please?

    It’s like, ever since they won the Interwebz they are failing to fail.

  45. RoyBatty says:

    EPIC HUMOR APPRECIATION FAIL…

  46. Lance says:

    It’s supposed to be a joke……

  47. The Hippy says:

    Just proves Americans are getting fatter, when you have to TOW kids

  48. ClaymanV says:

    tothose talking about eating kids above, i can only say…

    I WANNA LEG!!!

  49. first says:

    First.

  50. Outback Jon says:

    I’ve always preferred “Unattended Children Will Be Given An Espresso And A Free Puppy”

  51. Pennyforth says:

    I call this an epic WIN. Parents who think that the staff of any store are there to babysit their kids are *ssholes.

    Oh, and it was supposed to be a joke anyway. Sense of humor FAIL for whoever submitted this.

  52. fakey fakerton says:

    THIS ENTIRE WEB SITE FAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Blog Ninja (Blogmonster) says:

      I have a few tips for you.
      1. There's a little red 'x' at the top right of your screen. Click it.
      2. If you chose not to follow the steps of #1, try this. Press the 'alt' key at approximately the same time as you press the 'f4' key.
      3. If both these don't work or seem too hard, try clicking the arrow pointing to the top left hand corner of your screen.
      4. If you continue to have trouble, I have another option. Pull the cord from the wall.
      5. Stop being a dick.
      To prevent this situation in the future, there is one solution-DON'T COME HERE.

  53. Malkiyyah says:

    Fail? Try Epic WIN.

  54. SparcMan says:

    This is a much better sign. (click my name for the link)

  55. Erik von Darkmoor says:

    Not much of a fail, the sign is supposed to be a joke… failblog needs to pick up its game; there has been heaps of pics lately that aren’t really fails. :(

  56. chris says:

    for the place that I work in (a book and toy store, where children run around screaming and parents have their noses glued to books or leave the store for a bit) this sign would work wonders. Great idea. I wonder where I can get one of these. Epic Win

    • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

      Incorrect, it is a fail. You can’t properly tow a child, without breaking laws or morals. Sheesh do I have to break down the fail like this to all of you “win posters”. It take the fun out of it for the rest of us.

  57. Mifty says:

    Fail fail.

  58. Ant says:

    That sign is WIN.

    Failblog fails again.

      *refers to all other comments that are similar and have been proven wrong*

  59. R.B. says:

    I think the caption should be WIN…XD Probably not the first person to mention it.

    *mutters curses*
    *goes downtown to the impound lot*
    *pays fines for child*
    *promptly leaves child to get towed again*

  61. Todd says:

    No, this is totally a win

  62. DrB says:

  63. trekker says:

    i think it’s a win akshuly. as is “all unattended children will be given a free double shot of espresso and a puppy”

    • tahrey says:

      a free glass of orange “juice” full of aspartame and other artificial sweeteners are apparently good for this as well. makes them far more hyper than regular sugar would have done…

  64. Nic says:

    thats too funny

  65. Lame says:

    This is one of the problems with this site. This is not a fail, it’s a cute sign meant to invoke a chuckle. Posting it as a “Fail” is the biggest “fail” here.

    Who moderates this site? Are they not smart enough to understand that? And what idiot took the picture and submitted it, thinking it was an actual “Fail”?!

    Kids are great as long as you boil them first!

  67. TruckinPapa says:

    Epic WIN! if you ask me.
    I love children.
    Battered and deep fried!

  68. Bill says:

    Hmm…Perhaps a win, if you are against stupid parents that won’t watch their children?

  69. charlie brown says:

    Did anyone notice the reflection of the photographer? why was he bending a little to the right? Is the sign located so that only children read??

  70. Andy says:

    It had the same sign 10 years ago already at the Whistle Stop Cafe in Juliette, Georgia.

  71. Stella says:

    Isn’t this more like win?

  72. mewmew says:

    This is win far more than it is fail. People leave their kids to wander free far too often in stores.

  73. dave says:

    I don’t think this is a fail at all!

  74. SLR says:

    wa..tat’s good, can I have a sign like this too?

  75. mickey says:

    Ummm….it’s supposed to be like that…(someone probably made this comment already, but it just irked me nonetheless)

  76. Tarryl says:

    This is a win

  77. stix213 says:

    failblog fail is what I say. This is obviously a joke to get your attention about watching your kids. Not a fail.

  78. Ryno says:

    Win. I love it.

  79. alicia says:

    is that a promise or a threat? LOL

  80. PATRICK says:

    Child abuse! :O

  81. Falkenna says:

    Surely this is Win?

  82. mychemicalapocalypse says:

    WIN

  83. blasphemy says:

    “tow away at fail’s expense”

  84. Bad Mike says:

    No – that’s WIN

  85. david says:

    ROFLMAO thats hilarious…if a kids acting up the mom or dad can go I WILL ABANDON YOU AND YOU WILL BE TOWED U CRYING LITTLE BASTERD

  86. firefox456 says:

  87. blazethewolf342 says:
