  1. Snappera says:

    First post… I hope this fail is all failish enough.

  2. Alex (vegetarian) says:

    Thank God you weren’t a firster.

    • q says:

      God IS a fister!

      • Aaaand you’ve just insulted several trillion Christians all over the world. Congrats.

        • Avis says:

          I’m guessing that was his goal.

          • Nebuchadnezzar says:

            I’m thinking more than just Christians would be offended by a comment about God. Unless they have a sense of humour..

        • Mr. Cans says:

          You mean several quintillion, idiot.

          • No, I meant several billion, nincompoop. The official statistic is 2.1 billion Christians worldwide, twit.

            • the-pigeon-hunter says:

              please tell me thats not true. please tell me it s not that many.

              • Avis says:

                But do they practice what they preach? Not so many of them do.

                • Here’s a handy piechart showing the proportion of Christians to other religions. Clickie.

                  • arimareiji says:

                    Thank you; that’s one of the most interesting links-to-follow I’ve seen in a while.

                    • Pook says:

                      The problem with the “2.1 billion” figure is that it’s simply not true *most* of those would be people that when asked what religion they are say Christian in spite of the fact they can’t remember when they last went to church or did anything even vaguely religious….Christians because there parents told them they were.

                      • Nebton says:

                        That’s true of a lot of religions, so I find no fault in the stats for that.

                        For the record, I’m a very devout atheist: not only do I studiously avoid church every Sunday, I also don’t go to synagogues on Saturday, and I’ve never even stepped foot in a mosque, Shinto temple, or Scientology center.

                        (OK, confession time: I have been to several LDS centers while doing family tree research.)

                        • Dan says:

                          Sounds like Nebton is an athiest because Nebton is trying to get away from the “norm”. Athiests usually choose to be that way because of their own feelings or beliefs, not because they are weak enough to be bullied into athiesm. Man-Up Nebbie!

                        • Chaz says:

                          I think your just lazy. Atheists are just too lazy and uninvolved with anything in life to care. They call it depression. Good luck in the afterlife with that philosophy.

                        • Nebton says:

                          Actually, Dan and Chaz, I’m an atheist because I studied rigorously the faith I was brought up in (Christianity). I read the entire Bible, including many passages that weren’t read to me in Church or Sunday School. (Try John 5:1-4, for example. That one made me LOL.) I thought for myself and came to the conclusion that a personal God just doesn’t make sense, and an impersonal God or gods isn’t very parsimonious. (I’m also a scientist.)

                          Additionally, Dan, you fail because where I live being an atheist really isn’t that unusual, but it does take strength to tell your parents that you don’t believe what they brought you up to believe. Chaz, you fail because you’re relying on lazy and unfounded stereotypes to prejudge someone you know nothing about.

                      • arimareiji says:

                        Trouble is, there are 2.1 billion rationales for deciding who does or doesn’t belong to XYZ religion, as they make note of at the site.

                        Remember the sign-carrying virgin and how many people he wanted to exclude? Or for another easy example, Jack Chick would say there are only nine Christians in the world – Him, his wife, and the seven people who can read his tracts without laughing.

                        They had to pick one, so they went with “people who call themselves XYZ religion.” If they’d tried to sort through all the arguments for who thinks who is what, they wouldn’t have been able to finish within their lifetimes.

                        • Marius says:

                          Possibly if a true estimate were made of the morality and religions of the world, we should find that the far greater part of mankind received even those opinions and ceremonies they would die for, rather from the fashions of their countries and the constant practice of those about them than from any conviction of their reasons.

                          ~John Locke

                        • Sammy says:

                          It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

                          ~Aristotle

                        • Marius says:

                          Do not say, the people must be educated, when, after all, you only mean amused, refreshed, soothed, put into good spirits and good humor, or kept fro vicious excesses.

                          ~The Idea of a University

                      • Ben says:

                        My mother keeps trying to put us down as catholic in the census. Screw that, I wanna be Jedi!

                  • Ceefax says:

                    Of course if you sliced that section up into all the different sects within Christianity that think they’re the people really doing what Christ wanted then it’d just be a lot of little slivers.

                  • hi says:

                    wth is a clickie

                  • forge says:

                    Jews are 2/10 of 1% of all religions worldwide? Damn man, I thought it was a LOT more than that. ‘Course, I live in South Florida…

                • Vic says:

                  Well I could be like a Muslim and follow what I preach by killing anyone that refuses to convert to my religion or I can be a Christian and in my personal life not give a damn about how you live your life just as long as you leave me the hell alone.

                  • Gant1986 says:

                    lulz.
                    If the whole message you wrote is sarcasm, its quite funny, if not then, again, lulz.
                    Muslims dont preach killing other people, crazy muslims just believe in Jihad and such.
                    as for christians, they’ve been killing people for not converting since way back when. They’ve stopped recently but hey, they still did it.
                    And as for not caring how people live their lives… lulz.

                    • Ryannon says:

                      Please. That is an ignorant rant. I for one do not give a damn how you life your life and want you to leave me the hell alone and I am NOT Christian. As far as killing anyone that refuses anything I want them to do, not just converting, I cannot talk about that until the trial is over. They could use my words against me and I am using an insanity plea.

                    • Nobody's Chick says:

                      Why is killing a Christian or Muslim thing? It’s a Human thing.

                  • moonandstar04 says:

                    Congratulations Vic you are incredibly stupid and ignorant. Islam is one of the three majors religions in the world. Think about all the muslims that are on this Earth. Think about how many muslims you have met throughout your life. Many I’m sure you had no clue were even muslim as we all don’t wear tradition Islamic clothing and we’re aren’t all brown. Have you been personally threatened by one? I’m assuming you are still alive which means your little rant about how muslims main agenda is killing non-believers is totally false. Yes there are extremists that want to kill “non-believers” out there, but those so-called “musilms” are delusional and crazy.
                    If you want to go on believing that true muslims believe in killing “non-believers” that you are sorely mistaken sweetheart. I honestly feel really sorry for you.

          • Nebton says:

            Yeah, his comment was just full of fail. Let me count the fail:
            1) Trillion.
            2) Only Christians? No one else believes in someone they call God?
            3) The implicit assumption that most Christians would be insulted by that is probably insulting to most Christians.

        • DeepInTheHeartofTX says:

          Really, as a Christian, I can say this doesn’t bother me. When I’m insulted, I just consider the source.

        • kafleen says:

          It’s okay, but I appreciate the thought. As a Christian, I only see the insult it perpetuated upon itself.

        • JimmytheBold says:

          and you just insulted several demographers around the world

      • zooomz♀ says:

        PLEASE tell me that was a typo

      • Qwaz says:

        You are a disgrace to the letter!
        *Takes “Q” rights from q*

      • Le geek, c'est chic says:

        Yes, because God is everywhere. Even in your ass.

      • Andrew says:

        God can’t be a fister because he doesn’t exist….

        Sorry wrong board.

        • stealthpanther says:

          Ok….for the entire lot of you:
          1-WHY are we arguing about religion?
          2-Who started this whole battle between people and their beliefs?
          3-what the heck was this interview about…..I don’t remember seeing it, and I wanna know the context of their quotes/conversation
          4-enough with the bashing.
          5-I do have a sense of humor, and I put this because I know someone will think I don’t. If I had no sense of humor I wouldn’t be a fan of this site now would I?

  3. Candy Cane says:

    Wow, I really hate this bimbo.

  4. Alex (vegetarian) says:

    Wait, never mind. I forgot that sarcasm doesn’t show up on the internet.

  5. awakenbeing says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSS

  6. Snappera says:

    Lol I was only first post because I was lucky when I went on. And seriously, that was my first ever failblog post aswell! :D

  7. Blade says:

    She is the hawtness! I would watch her mumble nonsense all day!

  8. Ryannon says:

    I would like to take a stand and demand that all the comments on this fail be about the fail. I am sick and tired of reading nonsensical attempts at humor that have nothing to do with the wow I can’t even keep a straight face while typing this. I fail.

  9. Junky says:

    Are you kidding? She didn’t fail, HE did. He kept on trying to get details of settlement.

    • Cloral says:

      No, he was asking her why she settled. And then she tried to say that it was part of the settlement. And he was having nothing of it.

      I wish that sort of thing would happen more often on talk shows. Then I might actually watch them.

    • DeepInTheHeartofTX says:

      I’m not really sure why she went on Larry King. Obviously, the details of the settlement, including why she settled are confidential. It seems like she made it clear to him that she wasn’t answering those questions but he persisted in asking anyway. I’d have to do some fact checking, but I think she made pre-arrangements about what she would and would not do and say beforehand, including not taking calls. When he continued to push the boundaries, she simply took her mic off and left.

      • sauerkraut says:

        She did not leave.

        She sat there talking to someone off-camera. And then she put her mike back on. In short, she had a hissy.

    • forge says:

      As if Larry “Divorce Boy” King doesn’t know about terms of settlements. PLEASE.

  10. Ryannon says:

    Wow, whatever happened to talldude?

  12. Hugh says:

    I’m so confused what the hell was happening there?

  13. Ms B ♥ says:

    I will answer no questions!

    Oh, how big are my boobs? Well that I can answer!

  14. Ms B ♥ says:

    Ha ha! The headline! Carrie Pre Jean speaks out! Riiiiiggghhhht!

  15. Complete Non-sequitur says:

    So I work from home and turn the tv on for the noise. I just heard a commercial about teeth and the last thing they say is “for teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue”. All I could think of was frosty and santa.

  16. skillionaire says:

    Larry King fail? Hot dumb blonde chick fail? or English language fail?

  17. Aja says:

    You talkin’ to me?

  18. The Moot says:

    I don’t get who’s the one failing here (because I don’t know what they were talking about). Is it Larry King for trying to get confidential information, or Carrie Prejean for refusing to answer him? Honestly I’m confused.

    • nightshayde says:

      From what I understand (not from the video since I can’t see it at work), part of the agreement she signed when planning to go on Larry’s show was that there would be no questions from callers. Larry went to questions from callers & Carrie walked out (temporarily).

      • Ms B ♥ says:

        Larry asks, why did you decide to settle.
        Carrie answers, Larry that is confidential.
        Larry, you’re being inappropriate.
        Larry, you know I can’t talk about the settlement, it’s confidential.
        Then she walks out.

      • Avis says:

        He wasn’t so much trying to get that confidential info, he was looking for a yes or no answer. One that wouldn’t have violated the terms of her agreement.

      • forge says:

        Nondisclosure says you can’t talk about anything within the settlement; Larry didn’t want to know about the settlement, just why vacuum-brain here settled. Legally she was quite able to answer that but of course she’s not going to say “well Larry, they proved they had a movie of me diddling my cooch” so she got even stupider instead.

    • Kevin T. says:

      Me too. :-(

      Obviously, why someone decides to go to court isn’t confidential, and isn’t related to the court case, so her saying he was trying to get her to talk about confidential court proceedings was bullshit. She also took off her microphone, still smiling, and sat around looking stoned with the mike off, like she didn’t know where she was.

      On the other hand, Ryannon in this comment section said “He was trying to be hardhitting and make her admit she had to settle because she made a video of her tickling her hoohah with a toy she got from a claw machine and she wouldn’t admit it.” If that’s true, though her reason for not speaking was true, she was right in not speaking.

      Eh, I’ll side with Larry on this one. She fails for giving bullshit reasons why she couldn’t talk rather than just saying “no comment”, throwing a hissy fit after he moved on (this video is incomplete, and cuts out the part where she takes off her microphone in the middle of a telephone question and then sits around like a retard with her goofy smile still plastered on her), and disrupting the show for her vanity.

  19. Aja says:

    I’m confused. Which one is Larry King?

  20. emma says:

    well look whos being a b itch

    • sauerkraut says:

      Yes, she has an itch. And she’s apparently been scratching that itch for a few years while the video recorder is running.

  21. Aja says:

    # Carrie get out your cane
    and I’ll put on some silver
    Ooh you’re a mean old daddy
    but I like you #

  22. Fiat Knox says:

    She’d have been done for if it had been Britain’s Jeremy Paxman interviewing her.

  23. Kevin says:

    Excellent FAIL in the video:

    Larry King: Can you hear me?

    Carrie Prejean: No, I can’t hear you.

    • ShadowTheSniperZombie C.C.C./Head of the Janitors' Union/Co-owner of ZombieTrollNetwork says:

      Person A:Can you see me?

      Person B: No I can’t see you and that shirt that says “Read me”?

  24. Ms B says:

    Oh, I almost forgot…
    Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Ryannon says:

      *blows whistle*
      OFF TOPIC!

    • Avis says:

      Thank you Powers That Be!!

      • Ryannon says:

        In celebration of the extra fail, here is a recipe for you Avis that is MUCH better than it sounds.

        1 12 oz bag each of milk and dark chocolate bits.
        1 bag of almond slivers – or any other nut.
        1 tub of string potato chips ( by the onion rings )
        1 small bag of craisins

        Microwave the chocolate till soft.
        chop potatoes and nuts – mix with chocolate
        Add in craisins
        Spoon onto wax paper – or similar – refrigerate
        Sit in front of TV
        Clean bowl and spoon
        Reflect on “one moment on your lips – lifetime on our hips”
        What the hell…the ones in the refrigerator should be ready soon.

  25. arimareiji says:

    With a crowbar, maybe.

  26. arimareiji says:

    Just being difficult, but rather than “Prejean Speaks Out,” shouldn’t this be titled Prejean Keeps Both Her Mouths Shut”?

  27. Pennyforth says:

    I would have 10x more respect for Larry King if he had simply thrown her off of his show for being obstructive and evasive instead of answering a simple question–you know, what a person is supposed to be doing when they agree to do an interview.

  28. littletelari says:

    She couldn’t answer the question. She wasn’t allowed to talk about her settlement. It was part of the settlement that she not talk about it. If she had, she would have broke her end of the agreement.

    She was right, he was out of line.

    • arimareiji says:

      Go back and listen a little more carefully. Why she accepted the settlement != the terms of the settlement.

      Her response to a tough question was like most politicians’ these days: Just keep repeating a talking point that has nothing to do with the question, and pretend it’s an honest answer. I suppose that does give her something else in common with Palin.

      • Marius says:

        Gives her something in common with politicians. Remember Palin is the rule, not the exception.

        • arimareiji says:

          Aye, which was why I first noted that her response was like that of a politician. But since she specifically wants to compare herself to Palin, I was conceding that point.

    • Pennyforth says:

      The question she was refusing to answer was, in essence, “Why did you decide to agree to this settlement?” It was a question about her personal motivations, not anything even remotely regarding the legal terms of the settlement. She simply didn’t want to talk about something embarrassing to her, and decide to be evasive and hide behind a legal agreement that had nothing to do with the question she was asked. One wonders why she agreed to an interview if she didn’t want to answer questions.

    • Avis says:

      I’m not sure that’s exactly how those work.

    • sauerkraut says:

      You do not understand the mechanisms of settlement agreements.

    • Ceefax says:

      “She couldn’t answer the question. She wasn’t allowed to talk about her settlement.”

      Thanks for clearing that up, next you can explain why they took the word gullible out of the dictionary.

  29. Lelouch says:

    Larry, you’re being inappropriate. :D

  30. fishie says:

    Look at her snotty smirk. I think that’s what really gets me. Not the fact that she doesn’t want to talk about her dumbass mistakes – who does – but the fact that she feels validated by being an enormous hypocrite.

    This interview sounds so much like the Palin interview with Katie Couric it’s disgusting.

  31. DeDumDeDum says:

    Woah, i saw this on the soup.

  32. her resistance only makes his —- harder

  33. Igetstabby says:

    If you’re gonna say she’s every born-again Christian then every muslim a terrorist and every atheist’s a narcissistic a-hole

  34. Jimbo T says:

    This is all too funny. Larry King is still the best though.

    Where am I? Why am I here?

  35. Phaet says:

    Larry can be such a douche sometimes

  36. whome says:

    Why did you settle.
    I can not tell you why I settled.
    Why did you settle.
    I can not tell you why I settled.

    I think she is being smart. She does not say anything and prevents the other side from saying, well since she said something this is why she settled.
    If she keeps quiet and they open their mouths and say some she can sue them.

    Smart lady.

    • Dr. Steve Brule says:

      So…in essence, she used the McGwire defense.

      Now, I hate Prejean just as much as the next person, but it did seem like they were baiting her with the call about gay marriage when we already know what her stance on it is.

      /waits for puns on ‘baiting’

  37. cowpie says:

    meh, why bother going on tv if you are worried about being whored out? it’s too late!

  38. Juniper Jupiter says:

    Somebody needs to put Carrie out of her stupidity…stat.

    She tells Larry he’s being inappropriate when her hypocritical whore ass is on film?

    Please, Carrie, STFU and DIAF.

  39. n/a says:

    BOTTOM LINE SHE IS A WHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEE!!!

  40. Marius says:

    Respect for Larry King?
    Hello Seattle are you there?

  41. Wakefield says:

    I think her lawyer told her as a defense, that whenever someone asks a question use the word inappropriate, I doubt she knows what it means.

  42. Fraser says:

    Larrys being innapropriate

  43. another wake-up call in live broadcasting…

  44. granny says:

    i’ll show her inappropriate

  45. Est says:

    In my humble opinion, the biggest fail here is “Palin is my hero”.

  46. ?sweden says:

    i dont get it ?

  47. Deepthroat says:

    Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, this girl… why do the republicans have so many dumb, yet hawt women?

    • b-caff says:

      That’s what you’d like to think.

    • Cokashmola says:

      They typically go hand in hand.

      • arimareiji says:

        Republicans and dumb women? Only if you accept the argument that dumb = voting against your own interests. (In which case, you could say the same about black, gay, and especially poor Republicans.)

        But you could also make the argument that such people feel like they’re sacrificing their needs for a greater good.

  48. Heather L. says:

    Kirchner is in Kentucky.

  49. Someone says:

    I just watched the “full” version of this, and it explains alot. In this video, it seems like Larry just tries to get the information out of Carrie anyway, but in the full version it’s clear that she just refuses to answer. Especially when someone called: she almost immediately pulled her mic off as if she wanted to say “I don’t hear you, I don’t hear anything, so I can’t answer!”.

  50. nazani14 says:

    Half Larry’s guests are in mediation of some sort- he knows what’s appropriate to ask.

    I love seeing her and Palin, though- every time the Republicans swoon over them, somewhere an educated woman with real accomplishments gets disgusted with the Right.

    • arimareiji says:

      Is that related to the God-killing-a-kitten principle?

      • Ryannon says:

        God kills a kitten every time you masturbate. That principle? I am very well versed in that principle and I don’t think it’s related at all but I keep wondering if I am going to hell for all the kitties I have killed.

        • arimareiji says:

          I guess you have a point… to be closer to analogous, it would need to be “Every time the talk-show hosts gush in self-pleasure over Palin and Prejean, God kills an educated woman with real accomplishments.”

    • arimareiji says:

      Awwwww.. sad political troll is hungry. Here you go, sad political troll…

      *proffers a piece of Troll Chow, then throws it in the direction of punditkitchen*

    • MuEpsilonGamma says:

      You’re being inappropriate.

  51. Shannon says:

    Its funny how these comments turn into conversations
    by the way, you’re being inappropriate

  52. Hippo says:

    Larry…. Why would you do that?

  53. AceDevil says:

    Larry is so funny.

  54. asd says:

    Larry is BELGIAN!!!!!!11

  55. JoeJoe says:

    Way to not listen to your guest, Larry. I swear, the word “confidential” doesn’t exist in the media’s dictionary.

  56. Trey says:

    Just a heads up, although someone MAY have mentioned it. She left cuz’ they agreed to not do phone interviews. Larry King failed and she just gave him the STHU newb

    • Vrathal says:

      Well, at the same time…she really wouldn’t answer his question. His question was completely appropriate since it regarded her own personal feelings only (why she settled, not what happened in the settlement). It’s kinda hard to have an interview if your interviewee flat-out refuses to answer a question.

  57. tgb says:

    Who the hell is “Carrie Prejean”?

  58. Roscoe says:

    Thanks to those who explained what this was about. Didn’t know anything about it but I recognized the mentally challenged girl from that clip when she starts spewing random words from the stage of some pageant. It seems she’s still in it!

    Non-US resident is pleased with those providing info and amused by fail.

    • Ryannon says:

      Oh no, this is another mentally challenged pageant girl. You are probably thinking of Jr. Miss South Carolina such as. I could be wrong but she is the one that spouted the stupid stuff. This one just thinks gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.

  59. raggedy says:

    If I was in Larry King’s position
    “No Miss. Prejean, that question was not inappropriate. Now if I said ‘I saw that video and I thought you could’ve done a betterjob.’ THAT m’dear, would be inappropriate

  60. lu says:

    that tape of her masturbating, THAT is inapropriate

  61. wirelezz says:

    I’m sorry but I don’t understand the context of this fight/FAIL post between that girl Carrie Prejean and LK.

    I’m not from USA, can someone please explain me? thanks :)

  62. T-cool says:

    blond=dumb

    exibit a: see above

  63. TB Tabby says:

    I’ve seen Scientologists that were better at answering questions than her.

  64. Justin says:

    She didnt fail….her lawyer told her not to discuss the terms of the settlement and Larry King knew that when he asked the question…therefore, this is Larrys fail and a fail of the fail blog

  65. AAAWWWEEEE calm down… you can’t turn down Larry King… He’s god isn’t he? isn’t he?

  66. Zack attack and anything else that rhymes says:

    A better question… Why are we discussing religion in a fail that has absolutely nothing to do with it? Because of one comment?

  67. I’m sorry but I don’t understand the context of this fight/FAIL post between that girl Carrie Prejean and LK.
