So you made a fail in a statement in which you claimed that a site about fails does fail. Don’t you think it’s… a fail?

In a further development, they also launched an urban gas distribution daughter company, called “nigaz in da hood”

“Most words ending in unstressed -our in the United Kingdom (e.g., colour, flavour, honour, armour, rumour) end in -or in the United States (e.g., color, flavor, honor, armor, rumor).”

Has anyone ever noticed on this site that more caucasian people get offended over ethnicity jokes/pictures than the actual ethnicity the joke/picture is referring too? I’m starting to think tightie whities aren’t only underwear..

It’s pronounced just like nigaz. And yep, it’s funny for a bunch of Russians who knows about American slang, i’ve already met this joke on a russian boards.

I remember seeing a gas station in Istanbul called Nigaz. Should have taken a photo

By: David

David — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:23:57 +0000

Exactly. This is pronounced completely differently, hence there is no “fail”. If this is a “fail”, then so is the name of the country itself, and neighbouring Niger.

By: David

David — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:21:32 +0000

The irony being that you failed to use capital letters at the beginning of two of your sentences, you write “same like” instead of “same as” and mispell “colour”.

They’re going to insist that it’s pronounced with a hard I, but even then, everyone else will mispronounce it intentionally.

VERY FUNNY! The only peeps not finding it funny are the ever-so-ridiculously-touchy-sensitive-poor me-black people. And that’s why they canceled the name. Don’t want to ‘offend’ any of those idiots. sheesh!
Don’t they know racism is only ok when it’s against Whites?? (too true these days)

guys… Nigaz= Ni stands for Nigeria and gaz for petrol or gas

As an American living in Russia, I’ve got a special view on this one…. and it’s a definite FAIL!

But it’s an entirely understandable and even logical fail… funny thing with ginormous state-run companies like Gazprom is they don’t ever really think things through…

“FailBlog is all about finding cyclists falling into pits and bad sings and people tripping and other immature humorous things.”

Like naming a multi-billion dollar company “Nigaz”.

Ok, Russian jokes people. In Russian, нигаз doesn’t even sound remotely offensive. It’s just a generic name, that, in English, sounds racist. Just for fact, calling people of African lineage “negr” is normal, while calling them “black” is offensive.

yes, but if you find something in this name that sounds like something else, it is only US-American slang, nothing more. And the name of the country Nigeria comes, yes, from Niger, yes, this is black in Latin. Black is neither good nor bad, it is just a color.

I wonder if the Russians made this deal by replying to an email from a guy in Nigeria who just wants them to send $2.5 billion so they can get the project started. Then he’ll send Russia a check for $25 billion!

one’s vs ones. Same like “the car’s doors” and “the cars’ color is the same”

do try to learn some grammar.
