  7. Poli-Correcti says:

    This just in: Over-sensitivity to race creates an unfunny lol.

  8. Morgan says:

    I must be missing something. Cross Country is a high school sport where people run 5k.

    Is it funny because the guy is black, and the KKK burns crosses? Seems like a bit of a stretch.

  9. cross? more like furious!

  10. Country- why do they need trees?

  11. Tech Law says:

    reminds me of doc patches punch out

  13. Dirty Hairy says:

    ♪ I thought I’d stop and have myself a brew,
    At an old saloon on a street of mud,
    There on at table ‘he then stood’?,
    sat the dirty mangy dog that name me Sue,
    Well I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
    from an worn out picture that my mother had ♪

  14. Nick R. Bocker says:

    This Fail is racist.

    The ad for the cross country team is insinuating that the black man in the picture hasn’t stolen anything. (“Run like you stole something” + inferred “even though you haven’t”) Saying that the ad is a Fail insinuates that the black man HAS stolen something. Therefore this fail and the person who posted it is racist!!!

  15. run rae run says:

    i don’t get the fail. that was our CC team slogan too. its quite popular among high school kids who practice running.

  16. Davirus says:

    Thats… thats scary.

  17. Swagger says:

    Our XC slogan was “IN MY MIND – I’M A KENYAN”
    we were all white too ha ha ha

  18. Judy says:

    I haven’t seen Brewski yet this fail. I’m hoping he’s getting some extra rest – he has a busy afternoon coming up.

  19. PlatinumTimbit says:

    …not quite the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of how to make urself run faster lol… i have heard of imagining that u r chasing someone or someone is chasing u… but like u stole something?… lol

  20. Omnes_Servos says:

    I wonder what they’d say for the cycling team… O.O

  21. John says:

    haha, actually this is from chatham Ontario, in canada :) it was UCC’s year book, this was just one of many, many mistakes. The entire book was pretty much a fail, They spelled “grade twelves” wrong, thy spelled it Tweleves.

  22. 5 eagles fail borg 1of1 says:

    I don’t know but this borders racism I have made a complaint.

  23. Tech Law says:

    *sits in corner juggling cookies*

  24. fruitthief says:

    cross country win.

  25. omg this is f***** amazing
    that would totally work in south africa
    its not a fail … it a win!

  26. tmkjw says:

    this was from my yearbook!! its from ursuline college chatham aka ucc in chatham, ontario canada. that yearbook sucked and this was the tip of the iceberg. filled with mistakes, people who graduated the year before, and people getting left out

  27. galtama says:

    HE STOLE MAH BIKE!

  28. Mex says:

    Racism WIN!!

  29. ThaBlob says:

    Run like black win.

  30. Doc says:

    this picture is from my schools yearbook thats bad

  31. tori says:

    I think this is a win.

  32. Dracula_fangirl says:

    This is actually a win!

  33. chelsey says:

    lmao this is from my schools yearbook !!!!!!
    Ursuline College Chatham (UCC)
    in Chatham Ontario .
    this cased a HUUUGE debate at my school and the makers of the yearbook got in huge amounts of trouble for it . there were other problems with it too , this is just one .
    they didnt include half the sports teams, half the fricken PEOPLE, most names were spelled wrong ,
    there were grade 12s in the nines section ..
    it was just a huge mess.
    i paid 40 bucks for this yearbook
    and im right pissed

  34. Rayna says:

    oh man this is so racist

  35. fabs says:

    That’s a Win for me…

  36. EGV says:

    Where’s the bike?

  37. duck in the chicken says:

    Over 400 comments and replies, and not ONE of you noticed the real fail. The guy’s running on a TRACK! Cross country races are run on grass, dirt, etc., not track surfaces.

    p.s. All of you people who think this is racist need to realize that the world’s fastest cross country runners are blacks from Kenya and Ethiopia.

  38. Fiat Knox says:

    It could not have been more of a win if the ad had read “Run like her husband’s right behind you with a loaded shotgun!”

  39. the dread pirate rachel says:

    actually, i would call this a win…

  40. unknownkittehlovr says:

    Hey, It’s the mantra for marching band at my old high school

  41. YounisAMAX says:

    fAILure 2008-2009 101

  42. Anna says:

    Just like me in the 100-meter in my track meets! Lol people WONDER how i get the blue ribbon…

  43. Marissa says:

    I doubt they meant it to be racist, they just found a stock image of a cross country runner and didn’t even think twice about the fact that he was black. Anyway, “run like you stole something” is a dumb slogan.

    • the facts says:

      He’s running the 200m, not a cross country race. You can tell because he’s on a curve and still leaning forward from coming out of the blocks. Whoever designed that shirt obviously was not a runner. The “racist fail” is just what people choose to see–this is a sport identification fail (XC races are not run on tracks).

  44. Brian says:

    I thought the fail was because the guy running was black…and black people steal things…you know racist fail.

  45. HilarityThyNameIsFail says:

    God I love when the year commity has a sense of humor

  46. xcrunner says:

    that;s not a fail, that’s just how it is.

  47. Jess says:

    This is my yearbook, I went to UCC Highschool in Chatham, and this is a page off of the yearbook from this year..

  48. xckj says:

    yeah, i went to this school. its in Chatham Ontario.
    it was pretty brutal they actually had to call some of the black students parents and apologize for it being racist.

  49. Mike Weishar says:

    LOLZ this was from my graduating yearbook i LOVED that thing i’ve never seen such FAIL in my life

  50. dUbLePwNeD says:

    lol a marathon were you have to run 20 miles dragging a safe behind you XD

  51. Kalipto says:

    It’s a win

  52. Raven says:

    Well that’s not raciest.

  53. Hi, Neat post. There’s a problem together with your website in internet explorer, may test this? IE nonetheless is the market leader and a good part of people will pass over your great writing because of this problem.
