  2. nightshayde says:

    Because you’re stupid.

  3. Ms B ♥ says:

    *headdesk*

    • Admiral Apparent says:

      *calculates angle of reflection*
      *shoves pillow under Ms B’s head before next bounce*

      • Shadow says:

        *holds up a sign saying “10“*

        *announcer voice* And it’s a perfect score for the Admiral! A very well played move on his part there, that was inspired! And we look forward to seeing you next week! Until then, may your days be sunny, and may your fails be funny. I’m Shadow, and this has been “The Most Intense Fail Blog Moments”. Have a great night folks.

  4. 5 eagles C.C.C. says:

    VAMPIRE !!!!!!!

  5. zippycat says:

    Hehe… sounds like someone is a little TOO into the whole Twilight stuff. He/she is HOPING someone will tell them s/he’s a vampire. LMAO….

  6. So it goes says:

    it’s the twilight zone, duh.

  7. anndrre says:

    almost first!

  8. Yelyak says:

    I love stupid people. They make me laugh. HARD.

  9. scotteh says:

    Well, it’s like this: TV and movie cameras never point directly at a mirror because then you would see the camera and the film crew in the reflection. So when you see a mirror on tv, it’s always on an angle. If you look closely you can probably see some other part of your room reflected in that mirror.

    That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

    • So it goes says:

      … dude. please tell me your joking XD

      >.> seriously can anyone tell when we have fails like aforementioned

      • Sammy says:

        What are you saying? Do you see the TV or film crew in the reflection? Obviously, if the lens was looking back from the mirror that could possibly distort the space time continuum, black holes and such.

  10. Shadow says:

    It’s because the television is magical. And it chooses when and where to show your reflection.

    You do not question the TV god. :twisted:

  11. So it goes says:

    bored. gimme MOAR PHAILE!@#111

  12. Cloral ♂ says:

    This isn’t really a reflection fail.

  13. gfdfsd says:

    you can see yourself because you would go back in time….duh!

  14. latino says:

    I had the same question when I was 6 years old. Lol.
    Is exactly the same as asking why a heater on tv does´nt heat o.O
    Or asking why a knife on tv cant cut you.

  15. NääpIsTheTrap says:

    Scanning a mirror didn’t work either.

  16. Well I have seen my reflection in a mirror on TV. I just happen to be playing around with a camera connected to the TV. Which reminds me have you ever pointed a camcorder at a TV that was displaying the image from the camcorder? It lets you see other dimensions!.

  17. queensbee says:

    please, promise you wont reproduce.

  18. 5 eagles C.C.C. says:

    I remember seeing tv for the first time at 30 years old and I walked behind to see the little people in the back of the tv set!

  19. Brian says:

    Sometimes I am really embarrassed to be a part of the human race

  20. It’s a conspiration! Illuminati don’t like we see our reflection on Tv’s mirrors!

    ¡Es una conspiración! ¡Los Illuminati no quieren que veamos nuestros reflejos en los espejos de la televisión!

  21. YesI'mthisbored says:

    Because God hates you… so does satan.

  22. sofaking says:

    People this stupid really need to stop having children, especially at the frantic pace that they are propogating. Sure it gives us small moments of entertainment, such as this entire webisite, but the inconveniences are far more prevelant. I hearby start a petition to make it legal to kill anyone where they stand if they fit into any of the following groups.

    1)Internet trolls
    2)Those people Leno interviews on Jay walking
    3)People who ask stupid questions on Yahoo answers
    4)People who think the Earth is 6000 years old
    5)People who work at the DMV

    Any more suggestions?

  23. Piggy says:

    Just another joke from yahoo/anything else answers…

  24. Neil says:

    I think it is actually kind of an interesting question – especially since we don’t know the age of the person asking. They have made an observation that the television captures the state of light reflecting off an object and are asking the question, why doesn’t a reflective object still reflect?

    For someone under, lets say, 13, it could really show someone who doesn’t just take the result for granted and tries to understand how things work.

  25. Marvin says:

    Hm.. that must be why so many americans don’t belive in evolution… The “survival of the fittest” concept can’t possibly be true…

  26. ADAM says:

    Because your a vampire

  27. ZombieApocalypse says:

    Wish me luck folks – this should be my last post on Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5). Just got handed the new Snow Leopard (10.6, just released) this very minute and installing now. I’ll either be back shortly … or not.

  28. MSW says:

    It’s not a bad question, of the “Why is the sky blue?” or “How does the teflon stick the pan?” variety.

    If the question was “help! i cant use mirror i videotapd yetserdy!!1!”, on the other hand…

  29. Lord Rogue says:

    This is why I do not, in fact, Yahoo!

  30. wow says:

    wow, not to be a hater but i feel compelled to say this. y’all must really have no lives, you click repeatedly on this website, hoping for new fails to show up and be the “first” to leave a comment. after which everyone tries to come up with clever and witty comments that may or may not have any relevance to the picture at hand. what you all fail to realize is that your comments are effing retarded, inane and by no means an iota as funny and clever as you losers think they are. get a life you web-surfing cyber dweebs, and stop dreaming about the “squeezes” that you give each other in the hopes that it’ll someday become a reality and you’ll actually get to touch another real live human being. It’s not going to happen. lol

  31. iw says:

    It’s because the cameraman hates your FACE

  32. Xtopher says:

    Amazing phisic theory

  38. ¡Great Scott! Chief Engineer says:

    So completely OT here, but I just found out that Reading Rainbow is going off the air due to budget cuts at PBS. It makes me sad that a show which helped nurture my love of reading is going away.

    • Avis says:

      I think it’s considered an “art” now, and therefore is expendable.
      Schools keep cutting things that are considered art, so much for a well rounded education.

      • ¡Great Scott! Chief Engineer says:

        *sigh*
        Yeah, I guess I’m old fashioned to think it’s as important to teach kids why to read as it is how.

        • coyote says:

          Out of five nieces three are big on reading and one of those is a major reader. Three out of five isn’t bad.

          • ¡Great Scott! Chief Engineer says:

            Not bad at all, that’s probably above average.

            • Dragonwriter says:

              That’s more than half!

                ♪And a crowd of young boys theyre fooling around in the corner
                Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles

                It aint what they call rock and roll
                And the sultans played creole♪

        • Avis says:

          Some people never get that. I have friends in their 50′s who don’t understand why I like to read. It makes me sad when they ask.

          • nightshayde says:

            :shock:

            My little girl loves reading. She started reading a collection of classic Winnie the Pooh stories today — and she’s not quite 5 1/2 (will be in a couple of weeks).

            I believe there are kids in her kindergarten class who are just starting to learn their letters. :neutral:

    • coyote says:

      PBS is going down hill at a shocking rate.

    Hi everyone and good evening.

    *squeeze all around*

  41. ShadowTheSniper C.C.C. says:

    *Janitors’ Union* We have to stop these zombie trolls from messing with the posts.

    • ShadowTheSniper C.C.C. says:

      *one of the janitors* I think we should some ideas on ways to stop the zombie trolls. So..does anyone (fail bloggers) have an Idea on what to do about the zombie trolls?

  46. Father Wolf says:

    The reason you can’t see yourself in the mirror on TV is simple and surprising.

    Unless the mirror is facing directly at the camera, which it never is, the mirror is tilted relative to the camera, and SOMEONE ELSE is seeing your reflection.

    But don’t worry, they can’t tell who you are, unless they’re a friend or relative or acquaintance and they recognize you.

  47. SK says:

    Or if they’re an eskimo

  48. christiatric says:

    this is more of an education system / parenting fail.

  49. Tofu Mogu says:

    I’m sure that many of these dumb questions are fake, but this one seems pretty real…

  50. KatzVonD♀ says:

    Why don’t the people in the horror movies hear me when I yell “DON’T OPEN THAT DOOR, THE MONSTER IS GONNA GET YOU!”?

  51. veritas says:

    Well obviously when the TV films the mirror straight on it would create a time and space continuum rift in which you see your reflection in a previously filmed sequence thus creating a hole in your personal timeline… So on purpose TV people make sure that nobody dies from hole’s in their personal timeline.

  52. Timothy John, 2Lt of FAIL says:

    You can only a bit!!!!! That’s possible.

  53. pickles319 says:

    Sounds like a design flaw to me…

  54. Chris says:

    Maybe because you”re not getting HD tv? Hello people?????????

    LOL!!

  55. ShadowTheSniper C.C.C. says:

    Question:
    How would you guys, gals, and trolls describe me?

  56. chatmort says:

    She’s too stupid the mirror won’t let her be reflected.

  57. urzeT says:

    LOL Who would ask a dumb question like that

  58. Captain Obvious says:

    It’s cuz you’re not channeling the magic in the TV through your eyes hard enough.

  59. hey, that isn’t a mirror,

  60. ShadowTheSniper C.C.C. says:

    ♪Without a trace…♪

  61. Cam says:

    c’mon, it’s like wondering why a cow doesn’t moo and freak out when you get close to it on the television screen

  62. 3pidemiC says:

    Ghillie suit win!
    Didnt even see that bike coming. :P

  63. Failure says:

    It’s rather a win since he asked the mighty question

  64. FailScout says:

    Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that this mob behavior is hiding the fact that most people here probably don’t have a coherant answer to that question? It can’t be given in a single sentence as most are thinking, unless we assume refraction is completely understood by the asker. In which case, a question about refraction, which would go like “how do mirrors work?” is not a stupid question.
    It is possible to tweak the colours to reproduce a mirror effect from a mirror on TV, if your screen is good enough and clean, but that would be making a new mirror, not making use of the reflected one of course.

    • You’ve got a point there, if you go onto his page & look at some of his answers, he is dangerously intelectual.

    • markc says:

      Only a moron could think the answer is not obvious.

      Also, “refraction” is not involved.

      *** It is possible to tweak the colours to reproduce a mirror effect from a mirror on TV, if your screen is good enough and clean ***

      Uh, no it’s not. Please die.

  65. EPIClulzz says:

    look at his other questions. he obviously isnt retarded. i trully believe the guy who questioned this is a TROLL

  66. Brittany says:

    wow…just wow…lol

  67. Yay!! says:

    I know someone has had to say this by now… but, my answer would’ve been, “Well, it’s because you are not a vampire, but you play one on TV.” Pow.

  68. ERIK says:

    You just have a cheap TV!!! Mine can do that!! You have to be in the 5000 – 10000 bucks tv price range to see reflections of the mirrors, you morron!!

  69. Crystal Kyuuketsuki says:

    Interesting…

    I don’t think this is fake, sadly.

    Also 666th comment LUL

  70. Harriet says:

    seriously, wtf?!
    are you retarded or just trying to be funny?
    A REFLECTION IN A TELEVISION MIRROR?!

  71. EL says:

    Actually, however this is a fail, what would you answer to a child, if it asks you this question? :-)

  72. catalanPPCC says:

    You can’t see yourself cause you are stupid enough to be invisible

  73. Strudel87 says:

    Bloody good question

  74. lj says:

    wow this one is pretty funny. not hilarious funny; i could see Steve Martin as the Jerk, or Will Ferrill as Ron Burgundy saying this in a movie. Get back to me if you have details or confirmation of Anchorman to be filmed this year/next. Would be a riot! Who here loves Anchorman like Brick loves lamp, or carpet? Goodnight everyone and remember, you stay classy San Diego. I’m Ron Burgun..dee??

  75. catalanPPCC says:

    maybe because you are gay.

  76. Agatha says:

    Another peson posted the same question and someone actually answered:

    Your question makes me smile. Here is why it doesnt happen

    If a mirror were in front of you light would go from you towards the mirror , bounce off of the mirror and head back towards your eyes.

    If a mirror is on tv here is what happens:
    Light comes from you and goes toward your tv, some light goes into the tv, some reflects back at you (Becasue of the glass tv screen) but no light goes back up the cable wire (1000′s of miles) to the camera and towards the mirror, and reflect back. Also note that that stuff you see on tv is recorded, even live tv is recorded. Even if the light from you could go back up the cable wire (or satellite tv..whatever you us) it would end up in a studio some where and hit a dead end.

  77. Kelly says:

    when i am ruler of the entire world, people like this will get automatically castrated. honestly, there is zero reason why this person should ever breed.

    vote for me!

  78. Nicole says:

    I wondered that too…..when i was like 7

  79. Hyyyo says:

    Hey people, This is not fail. I understood the question.. He’s talking about the reflection of mirrors & reflections of TV screens. When you think about it this way, you will get the idea =D .. U are big failers

  80. Mads says:

    How is this a fail? The boy is used to have an old TV with glass. And just got a new Plasma or LCD. And he wondered why he couldnt see him self, so he wondered why..

  81. hamster says:

    it’s people like this you just want to take and punch in the nose

  82. teh cat says:

    O_O rly, WHY?

  83. roflmao says:

    what is that site called?
    i wonna see if i can see stupid stuff like thats 2

  84. ujdaq says:

    Cuz you touch yourself at night.

  85. Gas Money says:

    This is a question that a really smart dog would ask.

  86. Nagi says:

    If it is because one is a vampire, then it’s better it doesn’t reflect…those sparkles will get in your eyes *shoots herself for the reference*

  87. Brian Davis says:

    Darn! They took the question down! Still quite funny though. lol

  88. froggyboy says:

    what happened to the failblog i used to know

  89. sueb262 says:

    if you don’t know something, the smart thing to do is ask. and what a powerful imagination it takes to see something in a non-conventional way!

    and yet, what scorn and derision we heap on someone with the courage to ask for answers and the uniqueness of mind to see something a different way.

    *sigh* so sad–where have all the original thinkers gone?

  90. JJ says:

    Science fail!

  91. dan says:

    Actually, you can see yourself, as long as its live television

  92. GiantDeck says:

    There’s a mirror on my TV? Then how come I’ve never seen it?

  93. sirmaxx says:

    oh please this is a copy-cat off an older post asking about involving a computer monitor instead. people really cant be that stupid.

  94. Aaron says:

    Haha, reminds me of “when I move to the side of the TV, why can’t I see the side of the guy’s face?”

    pba 2009

  95. Janna says:

    What is this site where these questions come from??

  96. Katy says:

    Must be a vampire…

  97. lace wigs says:

    yahoo questions, hilarious.

  98. Anthony says:

    This cant be real…Please tell me this isn’t real…There cannot be people this stupid in this world…This has got as dumb or maybe even more dumb than the girl that posted the question asking if she would die from accidentally inhaling cigarette smoke into her lungs (that question was also posted on yahoo and featured as a fail on here) but seriously if there are people that stupid on this planet then we truly are doomed cause think about if we continue to allow stupid people to live and multiply/populate then they can spread and take over whole towns, cities, states(just look at Louisiana and Kansas and West Virginia), and eventually whole countries (oh wait its too late for Canada) but ya come on this is ridiculous I mean why do we even allow stupid people to post such retarded questions? I mean can’t they filter the stupidity level of questions its as easy as having someone review the question before it gets posted to the public and if its too stupid it just doesn’t get posted and a warning should show up on the users screen saying something along the lines of “Please ask a smarter question, Thank you have a nice day sniffing paint.” Okay that’s my rant of the day thank you for reading this if you have any comments please submit them to my “I can really care less box” its located directly up your ass so just compose your comment on at sticky note crumple it up or fold it neatly and shove it directly up your ass and eventually…. I’ll never see it see how that works? Great right! Ya ok later everybody peace!

  99. rai says:

    sorry to say, but i have asked myself the same queation once (when i was really drunk).

  100. john says:

    go to gothmix.com the first social networking site for vampires its totally free i swear

  101. Rose says:

    I cry for humanity.

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090830054435AAcpTMJ

    I ASSUME these aren’t real, but I can’t put such stupidity past humanity. People are stupid *sigh*.

  102. Jai says:

    Please, for the good of humanity, do not procreate.

  103. mochichi says:

    I don’t even think I fully understand the question!

  104. Godofpies says:

    I didn’t even know this level of retardation existed. I seriously lold at this.

  105. Yourmomdude says:

    o m f g, the guy that wrote that either has a lame sense of humor or should get his head checked

  106. mattinzambia says:

    Clearly a fake. Don’t get too excited everyone…

  107. OscarAlhoII says:

    (the following punchline joke only works if Tiebreacker (the asker) is a heterosexual man / homosexual woman / Celibacy Victim)

    BECAUSE TVs ARE LIKE YOU, RECEIVERS ONLY. (up the ass)

    Stupid Alcoholic Asian Blondes…In Alaska.

  110. franz says:

    it’s because mirrors in movies are only actors.

    if you try to provoke hitler in “the great dictator” he stays totally calm, and do you know why?

    because charlie chaplin is actually a very nice person!

  111. Luis says:

    I get it….they’re asking about mirrors being shown on TV
