If I had to guess at why the video abruptly ends there, I’d say it was because the rest of the video may show him being pushed over the guard rail and either falling to his death or being horribly injured from the fall. There’s also the paraglider smacking into the side of the cliff to consider too. This clip may not be so much fail as a tragic moment for two people caught on video.
Only the best can take me in a drawin’ match, pard.

It works like this: When a woman loves a man very much and she writes him a letter and mails it, when it comes to him, he says,
“Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain’t got time to take a fast train.
Lonely days are gone, I’m a-goin’ home,
‘Cause my baby just a-wrote me a letter.”
Sorry, jam!

“Never” is the combination of the negating “ne” plus “æfre”, meaning “ever.” The latter “”æfre” likely comes from an Old English form, a in feore, lit. “ever in life”. That first element “a” is almost certainly related to the Proto-Indo-European *aiw-, meaning “vital force, life, long life, eternity”. So “Never!!!” is indeed the proper reply to chronically vital force-deficient Zombies.
NO! I do not want to stop wildfires! I want to stop the retarded kids who keep setting them! How many times do we have to get a GI Joe to tell those damn kids!
Knowing what kills you is the most important thing in the world. Especially if you know it before it happens… one weeks notice would be fine, if any DEATH RELATED ENTITY is reading failblog…
It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. The problem with those powered paraglider things is when someone gets hurt with one, they usually get VERY hurt. Remember, it’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden deceleration trauma at the end that does you in.
The paraglider did, rather suddenly into the cliff face (he’ll probably be OK because of this, he wasn’t going that fast). The singer only got smacked upside the head by the “parachute” (or “paraglider” more accurately).
Over here we have the ever-elusive Stig, an explain-the-failure.
Notice how thoroughly he chews up the little details no one cares about. This is a mechanism, even though useless, to annoy bloggers.
What fascinating critters.
I’m somewhat disapponted….I was hoping for an accidental Boot to the Head from paraglider to singing guy. Guess I’ll have to be satisfied with just a ‘Chute to the Head.
Fine. Leave it to the living to make excuses instead of getting things done.

Tangential story: We used to have a lesbian technical writer. When she was married a couple years ago, the company sent out her wedding pics to the whole company. They are a cute couple. I told her how much I admired her for her courage. We’re in a very conservative rural area, so gays are not always treated kindly.
But, the company owner is a lesbian too, so I suppose if anybody here had a big problem with it, they wouldn’t work here.
Ah, don’t be so self-critical, WN. You aren’t that stout. Just big-boned.
[beersnob]
If I do Mexican beer, I usually go for Pacifico, myself. Or Dos Equis Dark on tap. I haven’t had a Negro Modelo in a while, but seem to recall it’s pretty good. The one Mexican beer I find the worst is also the best-marketed: Corona. I have never had a bottle that tasted fresh, it always tastes slightly spoiled and skunky.
[/beersnob]
Nah, I’m just medium sized. But I definitely like stout – you ever have the pleasure of drinking XX Stout in the Bridgeport pub(s) in Portland? Nectar of the gods. Sheaf Stout on steroids.
[beersnob]
Mind you, I’ve had fresh Corona, and been unimpressed. That said, it’s the clear bottles causing that Brewski. It allows the beer to get light-struck, which leaves that skunky taste.
[/beersnob]
Yep. If it’s a clear bottle, I generally won’t buy it. Unless it’s been very carefully handled. The best beers aren’t sold in clear bottles for that very reason. They’re dark brown. They do clear purely as marketing; it makes the beer taste crappy.
Qualifier: some stouts and porters are fairly hearty, and can withstand a clear bottle without noticeable problems. Samuel Smith has some beer in clear bottles I believe, and it generally tastes excellent.
MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm. There’s a restaurant here called Flatbranch that has its own microbrewery…wonderful stuff! They make a beer called “Oil Change Stout” that is WONDERFUL! Now I want to go have one.
im from brazil, u probably didnt notice cause its in portuguese, but the lyrics of the song he is singing are ironic, cause its like about flying, going up, rising… and then suddenly he is hit in the head by a falling parachute
Hmmm … like the Greek story of Icarus? It would make sense since Icarus met his demise by falling to the sea after flying too close to the sun with his wax-and-feather wings.
Well, it’s kinda ironic as well as because, in Brazil, “chute” means “kick”, so… if it were a real parachute, it’d be a bilingual irony. Lol. Joke fail.
the funniest thing about this video is that he was a famous singer in Brazil and he was singing his biggest hit.. ” flying flying… going up, going up…”
hahaha!
The point is, he does not died. HAPPILY, he’s safe and only get minors injuries by this accident, he still going to sing for years to go with all the joy and happiness from all around the world. Sorry for the awful, bad, stupid, terrible choice of words…
I think the lesson here is, an adverb is a terrible thing to waste. Use them only when absolutely positively, necessarily necessary or they will come swiftly and happily bite you in the @$$.
Verry funny. I’ve been having to make do all day with the “Little” GS found in his couch. (BTW, what were you doing on his sofa, hmmm?)

I was half hoping that something else would happen, like just before the parachute hits him, a car hits him instead… then the parachute. Ah well, it was still funny.
Oh, yeah. And then a whole bunch of people carrying baseball bats and breaking store windows would’ve come along and hit him. That would’ve been a riot.
And, and, y’know what else would have been funny? If, when the thingy hit him and stuff, he, like, fell. Onto a matress. But then, Daffy Duck comes and calls him “dithpicable”. That would have been hilarical.
Okay, look, if you want us to be clear, then I’m going to give you a clear, concise talking-to.
Here at FailBlog, we like to have fun. That fun often involves a fair amount of nonsensical behavior. There’s quite a few worlds of difference between nonsensical behavior and just acting moronic. Nonsense is fun. Moronic is annoying.
Your sentence was of the moronic variety. It made absolutely no sense at all, and contained absolutely no humor or point whatsoever. And now, here you come along, being insufferable to the point where it’s starting to get on my nerves. Stop it. Now.
So slightly off topic here. I’m going to get to see Ben speak Friday morning! He’s giving a talk at Google DC, 7 blocks from my office. I even got my boss to approve the time out of the office as part of my work day. Hee!
Anybody have any good question suggestions?
Yup, I saw the notice over at ICHC, and had to sign up when I saw how close it was.
The talk is titled, “Building an Online Media Empire by Making People Happy”
If that is in fact the title, and there is Q&A, I’d be interested in his being asked about how they handle the issue of posting materials that can and do bring about the opposite of “happy.” I’ve posted concerns here before and won’t make a long editorial now. But Failblog does at times post 1mages that are gay-negative (“PHAG” = “FAIL”), racist (“NO LATINOS”), and big persons negative (stamping a picture of a person a “FAIL” primarily just because the person is heavy).
To make it constructive, I’d like it if they were asked questions that (1) helped them consider their role in being socially responsible and that (2) helped us to help them be that way, namely, by also asking what are the forms of feedback from site users that are most useful to them and that are most likely to have the most productive effect.
fuzz, I have been supportive of you from the get-go. As a past ‘victim’ of discrimination, I applaud anyone — of any creed, race, or religion — who does not “look the other way” at the kinds of slurs you (and others) have pointed out. In my opinion, that is exactly how WWII got started (i.e., “looking the other way). If one does not learn from history, one is doomed to repeat it. I literally love this blog and I’m glad I found everybody, but I would leave it in a heartbeat if I didn’t believe that there were not a whole lotta positive stuff going on here, namely people such as yourself standing up for unjustice, racism, and discrimination, no matter how trivial it might seem in the “blogosphere” of life, as well as all those who support the same belief(s). Let’s hope that the PTB do the same.
I’d like to know if they use software to help them pick the comments that power video fails, or if they actually search through the 600,000+ comments by hand.
Also, make sure to shout, “SHADOW LOVES YOU!” in your best-est fangirl voice.
The first time I played it yesterday & saw the points rack up after the minute ended, I was confused. I realized quickly that I like the “last hurrah” thing. I played far more than I should have last night.
Also, some of you may remember the other day when I said I always imagined that next thing the voice guy would say after incredible would be, “Dude, ****ing RADICAL!”
The “Awesome!” sounds just like that to me. I feel so rewarded now, every time I get a cascade going.
1. The typed commentary explaining that the guy doesn’t know what is going to hit him SUCKS! Let us watch the video ourselves and see for ourselves what is going to happen without explaining it away. Seriously, it killed the video.
2. Freezing right as he gets hit? What gives? The editing on this is horrible. Why on earth would you freeze frame right at the moment that is the whole point we are watching this stupid clip? Why not just cut away after telling us he’s going to get hit? Couldn’t do anymore damage than has already been done by the piss-poor editing job on this video.
‘ello nighters! Today just thought I’d check in. Looks like today has been very eventful, full of celebrations, roleplay horny chat, and talk of the ICHC network. If anyone wants to do a pun run, I’m here.
Let me just say, I Fing hate the failblog.org clip you put at the end of your videos. Aside from the fact that the animation is just a ripoff of the Videlectrix intro, if I ever meet the guy who says “dot org!” I swear to god I’m going to punch him in the throat.
Hahahah, Biáfra… i’ve seen this video already, but in this one the video stops in the moment the parachute hit Biáfra… In the complete version he’s hit, but don’t even fall in the ground
“Excuse me, do you have any Grey Poupon?”

That was very considerate of you, Gracie. I was just going to Poupon him.

AGREED
looks like it would’ve been an epic fail too, and it stopped before we had the pleasure of witnessing it
just like how I had the pleasure of witnessing my mother… before my dad “parachuted” away
Actualy it is a fail because he was sing: To fly, to fly, going high, going high…
He is a singer and this song is one of his famous songs.
Actualy, he was sing:
♪ “Butterfly in the sky,
I can go twice as high,
Take a look, it’s in a book,
Reading Rainboooooowwww (Parachute)!” ♫
the way that guy was singing, I’d say a WIN
VERY VERY TRUE
If I had to guess at why the video abruptly ends there, I’d say it was because the rest of the video may show him being pushed over the guard rail and either falling to his death or being horribly injured from the fall. There’s also the paraglider smacking into the side of the cliff to consider too. This clip may not be so much fail as a tragic moment for two people caught on video.
I think it ended because the photographer was hit, too, and stopped filming.
That’s a possibility that would make me feel relieved. But still, this has “cliff-hanger” written all over it…

Never!!!
“Never” is the combination of the negating “ne” plus “æfre”, meaning “ever.” The latter “”æfre” likely comes from an Old English form, a in feore, lit. “ever in life”. That first element “a” is almost certainly related to the Proto-Indo-European *aiw-, meaning “vital force, life, long life, eternity”. So “Never!!!” is indeed the proper reply to chronically vital force-deficient Zombies.
TMI!! Dude!!! Oh, no, the Force is strong with that one.

They can pantomime it, though.
Knowing what kills you is the most important thing in the world. Especially if you know it before it happens… one weeks notice would be fine, if any DEATH RELATED ENTITY is reading failblog…
It is a paraglider. It’s a fail name fail.
PS: One thing I really want to do someday is try out one of those powered paragliders. Those things look like a ton of fun.
It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. The problem with those powered paraglider things is when someone gets hurt with one, they usually get VERY hurt. Remember, it’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden deceleration trauma at the end that does you in.
Did he decelerate?
*can’t see video fails at work*
Yeah, I can’t see the videos on my iPod, either. I wish they would put back the YouTube integration.
The paraglider did, rather suddenly into the cliff face (he’ll probably be OK because of this, he wasn’t going that fast). The singer only got smacked upside the head by the “parachute” (or “paraglider” more accurately).
*cliff-face palm-tree*
Thank you for pointing that out
Yeah its definitely a Paraglider….
Title Fail?
well,
pump,
That’s a deep subject.
… and a nesting fail?
Just to inform you; it’s not a parachute, it’s a paraglider with a crappy pilot..
Hey, we haven’t had the explain-the-fail species in a while.
Over here we have the ever-elusive Stig, an explain-the-failure.
Notice how thoroughly he chews up the little details no one cares about. This is a mechanism, even though useless, to annoy bloggers.
What fascinating critters.
So that’s how he spends his time in between racing cars like hell on wheels (pardon the pun).
And we care because…
*snerk*
Well, that’s certainly why *I* care
Thanks for informing us of this information. We feel informed.
Informationally, at any rate. In an informed kinda way.
Were we informed with enough information? The information we were informed of informed us of little information. Need more input!

Look, everyone! asdas is out of the closet! Congrats! It takes a lot of guts to do that.
Had some pretty serious reasons to stay inside, if you ask me….
Tangential story: We used to have a lesbian technical writer. When she was married a couple years ago, the company sent out her wedding pics to the whole company. They are a cute couple. I told her how much I admired her for her courage. We’re in a very conservative rural area, so gays are not always treated kindly.
But, the company owner is a lesbian too, so I suppose if anybody here had a big problem with it, they wouldn’t work here.
Myself, I’m just delighted that └Ï╥╥╚ ε Girl is outta the >ZAP< Dot Org closet – don't we make a cute couple?

If you’re not going to drink it, I will.
*buttersqueezes*
Brewski, I’m a stout man myself – but I gotta say that Cabo or 1800 with a limed Negra Modelo for a chaser is about as good as it gets
Ah, don’t be so self-critical, WN. You aren’t that stout. Just big-boned.
[beersnob]
If I do Mexican beer, I usually go for Pacifico, myself. Or Dos Equis Dark on tap. I haven’t had a Negro Modelo in a while, but seem to recall it’s pretty good. The one Mexican beer I find the worst is also the best-marketed: Corona. I have never had a bottle that tasted fresh, it always tastes slightly spoiled and skunky.
[/beersnob]
Blogmonster, quit eating my comments!!!!!
Help yourself, Gracie!
*offers tequila*
*squeezies*
Nah, I’m just medium sized. But I definitely like stout – you ever have the pleasure of drinking XX Stout in the Bridgeport pub(s) in Portland? Nectar of the gods. Sheaf Stout on steroids.
And yep on the Corona comments
[beersnob]
Mind you, I’ve had fresh Corona, and been unimpressed. That said, it’s the clear bottles causing that Brewski. It allows the beer to get light-struck, which leaves that skunky taste.
[/beersnob]
I don’t trust a beer I can see through.
That’s an excellent policy.
Yep. If it’s a clear bottle, I generally won’t buy it. Unless it’s been very carefully handled. The best beers aren’t sold in clear bottles for that very reason. They’re dark brown. They do clear purely as marketing; it makes the beer taste crappy.
Qualifier: some stouts and porters are fairly hearty, and can withstand a clear bottle without noticeable problems. Samuel Smith has some beer in clear bottles I believe, and it generally tastes excellent.
Italics fail!
Beer in clear bottles? What an amazing concept.
MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm. There’s a restaurant here called Flatbranch that has its own microbrewery…wonderful stuff! They make a beer called “Oil Change Stout” that is WONDERFUL! Now I want to go have one.
That reminds me, I’m due for an oil change and lube.

I see a glass that is twice as big as it should be.
im from brazil, u probably didnt notice cause its in portuguese, but the lyrics of the song he is singing are ironic, cause its like about flying, going up, rising… and then suddenly he is hit in the head by a falling parachute
obrigado!
brigadoooooooooonnnnnn
I really like the new video style at the end with the powered by. It goes a little too fast, but over all, an improvement.
I second that!
Third that!
uh, where’s the rest of th video? I want to see the aftermath
Yeah, they really should have shown their work.
“Voar, Voar Subir, Subir” is portuguese for “Fly, Fly, Rise, Rise”, How Ironic huh ?
BTW, his name is Biafra, and the song name is “Sonho de Icaro” Portuguese for “Icaro’s Dream” ._.
Biafra?! That’s pretty poor choice for a name, considering its connotations…
Is Biafra the Gang of Four frontman who loves jell-o? Is the singer on a holiday in Cambodia?
Hmmm … like the Greek story of Icarus? It would make sense since Icarus met his demise by falling to the sea after flying too close to the sun with his wax-and-feather wings.
Did he Deadalus?
:ick:(arus)
Plungelus into the sea?
Well, it’s kinda ironic as well as because, in Brazil, “chute” means “kick”, so… if it were a real parachute, it’d be a bilingual irony. Lol. Joke fail.
FAIL FAIL. No carnage.
LOL music translation: fly, fly, going up…. This guy is a singer from the 80´s here in Brazil.
Haha ! So funny ! lol xD
the music talks about flyng, falling in love, and those things [fail again]
I can’t see the video. Did he die?
wheres the aftermath? we must SEE PAIN!
Seeing as the paraglider is made out of fabric, I doubt there was much pain. On his part anyway.
as the owner of a glider, I can tell you that getting hit is more than a little bit painful.
Oh chet, I was singin’ this friggin’ song a moment ago. LMAO.
the funniest thing about this video is that he was a famous singer in Brazil and he was singing his biggest hit.. ” flying flying… going up, going up…”
hahaha!
He does not died. This was in a documentary, from a tv host from the 80′s, and, no, sadly, he does not died.
Sadly?!
well, for the ones with extreme dark humor… you know.
Let me get this staight – you think it is unfortunate that an innocent human being did NOT die due to a hilarious accident?
no, it was just an awful choice of words.
Right…or is it Left Up for a debate that will be Down at a meeting hall.
‘Awful’ doesn’t begin to describe it.
‘Horrifying’?
The point is, he does not died. HAPPILY, he’s safe and only get minors injuries by this accident, he still going to sing for years to go with all the joy and happiness from all around the world. Sorry for the awful, bad, stupid, terrible choice of words…
I think the lesson here is, an adverb is a terrible thing to waste. Use them only when absolutely positively, necessarily necessary or they will come swiftly and happily bite you in the @$$.
lesson learned…
Adverbs = Karma?
Adverse Karma?
would it be awful if the “singer” were… let’s say… celine dion?
The ironic thing is that the song he was singing is named “Icaur´s Dream”! LOL
Thou shall cometh from the heavens and swoop upon thee.
Ah, man Byafra’s great.
The funniest thing is that this song’s name is “Icaru’s Dream”. Just Ironic.
Has it been mentioned yet that the man is singing a song called “Icaro’s dream”? No? Thought I’d let everyone know.
“Icaro’s Dream.” You don’t say. Well, I wouldn’t have guessed.
I thought it was Icasaurous’s dream…

Yeah, about 195.1 million of ‘em.
I was half hoping that something else would happen, like just before the parachute hits him, a car hits him instead… then the parachute. Ah well, it was still funny.
Oh, yeah. And then a whole bunch of people carrying baseball bats and breaking store windows would’ve come along and hit him. That would’ve been a riot.
And, and, y’know what else would have been funny? If, when the thingy hit him and stuff, he, like, fell. Onto a matress. But then, Daffy Duck comes and calls him “dithpicable”. That would have been hilarical.
I take it you two are not serious.

Here at FailBlog, we like to have fun. That fun often involves a fair amount of nonsensical behavior. There’s quite a few worlds of difference between nonsensical behavior and just acting moronic. Nonsense is fun. Moronic is annoying.
Your sentence was of the moronic variety. It made absolutely no sense at all, and contained absolutely no humor or point whatsoever. And now, here you come along, being insufferable to the point where it’s starting to get on my nerves. Stop it. Now.

interview
So slightly off topic here. I’m going to get to see Ben speak Friday morning! He’s giving a talk at Google DC, 7 blocks from my office. I even got my boss to approve the time out of the office as part of my work day. Hee!
Anybody have any good question suggestions?
No! Ya’ crud! WTF? You lucky, lucky sod!
What’s Ben going to be talking about?
Yup, I saw the notice over at ICHC, and had to sign up when I saw how close it was.
The talk is titled, “Building an Online Media Empire by Making People Happy”
If that is in fact the title, and there is Q&A, I’d be interested in his being asked about how they handle the issue of posting materials that can and do bring about the opposite of “happy.” I’ve posted concerns here before and won’t make a long editorial now. But Failblog does at times post 1mages that are gay-negative (“PHAG” = “FAIL”), racist (“NO LATINOS”), and big persons negative (stamping a picture of a person a “FAIL” primarily just because the person is heavy).
To make it constructive, I’d like it if they were asked questions that (1) helped them consider their role in being socially responsible and that (2) helped us to help them be that way, namely, by also asking what are the forms of feedback from site users that are most useful to them and that are most likely to have the most productive effect.
fuzz, I have been supportive of you from the get-go. As a past ‘victim’ of discrimination, I applaud anyone — of any creed, race, or religion — who does not “look the other way” at the kinds of slurs you (and others) have pointed out. In my opinion, that is exactly how WWII got started (i.e., “looking the other way). If one does not learn from history, one is doomed to repeat it. I literally love this blog and I’m glad I found everybody, but I would leave it in a heartbeat if I didn’t believe that there were not a whole lotta positive stuff going on here, namely people such as yourself standing up for unjustice, racism, and discrimination, no matter how trivial it might seem in the “blogosphere” of life, as well as all those who support the same belief(s). Let’s hope that the PTB do the same.
I’d like to know if they use software to help them pick the comments that power video fails, or if they actually search through the 600,000+ comments by hand.
Also, make sure to shout, “SHADOW LOVES YOU!” in your best-est fangirl voice.
Not so much a question as a request — but how about requesting a late afternoon/early evening (for the North American crowd) Fail?
I think they use google to look for comments!
And a late fail would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first time I played it yesterday & saw the points rack up after the minute ended, I was confused. I realized quickly that I like the “last hurrah” thing. I played far more than I should have last night.
I got 46,000 points on the “last hurrah” alone! Woohoo!
Don’t you mean “hip hip hurrah”?
Also, some of you may remember the other day when I said I always imagined that next thing the voice guy would say after incredible would be, “Dude, ****ing RADICAL!”
The “Awesome!” sounds just like that to me. I feel so rewarded now, every time I get a cascade going.
I played it the first time since the revision last night. I must say I wasn’t so sure at first, but now I really try to get an awesome last hurrah…
And this happens all the time in America! It is a terrible place. Believe me, I have been there.

1. The typed commentary explaining that the guy doesn’t know what is going to hit him SUCKS! Let us watch the video ourselves and see for ourselves what is going to happen without explaining it away. Seriously, it killed the video.
2. Freezing right as he gets hit? What gives? The editing on this is horrible. Why on earth would you freeze frame right at the moment that is the whole point we are watching this stupid clip? Why not just cut away after telling us he’s going to get hit? Couldn’t do anymore damage than has already been done by the piss-poor editing job on this video.
I know! Grr! It makes me so mad!!!

Or, you could say that.
But I believe that you might,
Have killed it very dead.
Another attempt.
I am hoping that this time
I will get it right.
Here you go Shadow, one of my favorites for inspiration.
Haikus are easy,
but sometimes they don’t make sense.
Refrigerator.
I’ve seen it before.
Take a look at this. (Clickie.)
It’s very funny.
