Should I get this?
Don’t think so.
WTF?!? Can someone, anyone please explain this?
A fancy No Guidos sign it seems. I like it.
GOOGLE: load/epic_fail/fail_signs/kid_tow_sign_fail/12-1-0-441
God knows. I certainly don’t.
it’s an apparently ‘popular’ reality tv show on mtv about overly tanned douches and whores. and they’re in new jersey. something like that.
Ah. Got it. Thank you. Next question: where is “Republic” and why should we care?
it’s in new orleans
Thanks, yes, found it and mentioned it in a comment that for some reason was “disappeared” by the mods.
Dem guidos are not welcome on dis here Cajun soil. Everybody knows Cajuns can throw exploding cards at ‘em.
New Orleans isn’t really Cajun, it’s more Colonial French and Spanish (and a host of other things, including WASP, Irish, German, Italian, and Vietnamese.) Cajuns came from France via Nova Scotia, to flee English oppression in Canada, and settled in central Louisiana. (That’s Lafayette and its surroundings.) **The More You Know**
Indeed,
The word ‘Cajun’ is actually a shortening/mispronunciation of ‘Canadian’
New Orleans is more Creole
Actually, Cajun is a shortening/mispronunciation of “Acadian.”
Actually, the word “Cajun” is actually a shortening/mispronunciation of…
Cajun
AHHHH HA HA HA HA! Awesome.
And for the record, they are not from New Jersey, the majority of them are from Long Island. I loathe them all and they hurt my brain when any of them talk.
One of them is from my hometown of Johnston, RI…what the hell???? Anyway, this sign is made of pure win, I gotta get my self one.
yeah this is correct and it is completely offensive to New Jersians
by that i mean the show not the sign
Dude,that is the best description ever..
We are not all like that, actually, we don’t get tans, its too cold up here. The kids on that show look like they belong in california or something
The best way in the whole world, to know it you’re a loser: If you get this poster, you are one. (In fact that’s true for pretty much everything in the old media.)
Good. Then I’m not a loser. I had to research this to figure out WTF it means. (FYI, for the other non-losers here, “Jersey Shore” is a reality show on MTV; sounds even more boring than “Big Brother”, which I watched once.) I can’t believe people watch this tripe–what kind of boring life do they have?!
ha! you said tripe! it’s a funny word
I’m a loser merely because I understand a pop culture reference!?
No, you’re not. This guy is a wanker.
Not that I’ve ever seen JS, because I haven’t. But I’m aware of it.
Funny u mention wanker, that’s what we call the folks from West Bank of New Orleans that frequent this club wearing Jersey Shore-esque outfits
im pretty sure if you actually watch Jersey Shore, you are a loser.
your’e a loser because you get this pop culture reference
Jersey Shore is hardly pop culture. It’s a sad excuse for idiots to be on TV.
I only get it because I go to visit a blog called Pale Is The New Tan and they often have the JS people on there to make fun of them. Also I had to look up that one JS chick who got punched in the face because someone made a Demotivational Poster about it.
shut up dork.
so did you get it?
This is coming from a guy named Barefoot!!! C’mon bruh!!! Not from Jersey, so I don’t care but can’t really say much with that name!!! Stop me when I’w wrong…
you get on failblog. you can’t give yourself much more credit.
The reason I know about Jersey Shore is because I watch “The Soup.” Since my job requires me to keep track of pop culture, I just watch it so I don’t have to watch trash and I get to be satirically entertained as well.
and your job is being a douche?
That’s not cool. The only reason I got this was because I live in New Jersey, and EVERYBODY talks about it. It’s so embarrassing…
I can provide an explanation. This picture is from Vancouver, British Columbia Canada. Republic is a night club located downtown on Granville street. Vancouver has a majour problem with gang affiliation and drug dealers and their brands of choice are Affliction, Christian Audiger, etc etc. Therefore anyone wearing those brands will not be allowed into the night club, thereby preventing possible violent encounters
You serious? They’re banning certain brands of clothing because the wearer might be a gang member? That’s stereotyping and it’s unfair to fans of those brands who wouldn’t do anything illegal.
It’s done in LA clubs too. No baggy t shirts, no sports teams, certain brands are banned, no bandanas.
I totally agree, but this isn’t the only place that does this. In Britain, Stone Island clothes are banned in many pubs, for example, because football hooligans wear them.
Also I’ve been called a nazi just because I had a Lonsdale jacket on… it gets even more ridiculous since there are web pages that list stuff like New Balance and Helly Hansen clothing as good ways to identify neo nazis.
I’ve been wondering why the companies don’t sue those, and also whether you could get beaten up for wearing the wrong, totally normal, clothing brand in some places without knowing that crap like this is around.
new balance as a way to identify neo nazis? LOL
sure, i guess if those neo nazis have wider than normal feet or are old and need orthopedic-like shoes (both of my elderly parents have to wear new balance b/c of knee issues ha!)
bouncer 1: “uh oh – here come a bunch of hooligans dressed in new balance wear”
bouncer 2: “um.. that’s just the geriatric center letting out.”
The brand New Balance is useful for identifying nazis because while the Swastika or any other nazi insignia is illegal in most places, the capital “N” on New Balance shoes and clothing provides a not-so-subtle alternative, thus most nazis will wear New Balance. I don’t know about the Helly Hansen clothing though.
Uh…you do realize that the N would make a backward swastika? Which oddly happens to be a Buddhist symbol.
Still, no Neo Nazi in their right mind, and most out of it, would wear New Balance shoes. They prefer Doctor Martens.
I’m not familiar with the brand, but based on what I know, I would think Helly Hansen would be banned because of the initials: H.H. Neo-Nazis would use that to represent “Heil Hitler” in much the same way that the number “88″ represents the same thing to Neo-Nazis.
Geez…glad I found out that my tennis shoes…label me. Does that mean that I can’t play tennis with my Jewish friends? LOL… they’re going to be mad!
Eek,I have a fair of New Balance running shoes. I only bought them because I’m trying to get fit again after a long illness and they were on sale(70 bucks instead of 200).I hope people don’t think that of me.I detest racism.
Uhm, it’s not stereotyping. An owner of a club can make whatever dress code rules they want – it’s THEIR club.
Yes, the club owner can do this, but it’s still stereotyping.
It’s not stereotyping. It’s a business policy. Less of those brands = less problems. There’s nothing else to discuss or debate. It works much the same way insurance companies do when a car insurance charges more for teens, or a life insurance company insuring the elderly. It’s all about risk. They are making their decisions based on FACTS.
I was downtown in Vancouver recently and witnessed and arrest of a young male by police officers and guess what. He was wearing a Ed Hardy shirt. Unfortunately the cops let him go with a ticket. Im sorry. People who wear Ed Hardy shirts are douche bags, and very often are involved with gangs. You have no idea how severe the gang problem really is here, do you?
This is in New Orleans, not Vancouver.
And it has nothing to do with gang affiliation.
It’s a night club, and they have always had a rule about “dressing nice” to keep up it’s classy appearance.
Jersey Shore made Christian Audigier, Ed Hardy, and Affliction a trashy trend. Therefore if you wear it, you can not come in to the club.
Not stereotyping. It’s like saying you can’t wear jeans to a wedding. They have an appearance to uphold. Not to mention…it’s a night club.
If you want to wear those clothes, go elsewere. They can make whatever rules they want.
Wow, I had no idea there was this much controversy. I came to the comments hoping someone had explained WTF this sign was about. I have never even heard of Jersey Shore, let alone knew that certain brands were popularized by it. Most surprising of all? That those brands are associated with gangs in other regions. I live in Colorado and the gangs and thugs here imitate the LA styles, baggy pants, sports jerseys, and that kind of thing. Hell I own a set of Ed Hardy shot glasses. The brand is seriously popular in southern Colorado.
Oh and yes, club owners can set whatever standards they want, don’t like it, don’t go to that club. Viva capitalism.
“People who wear Ed Hardy shirts are douche bags” That just about the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard. It’s like saying that most people wearing suits are economic criminals, since most economic criminals wear suits… If you wanna go further one can make the same assumptions about race etc, but let’s not go there…
However every nightclub, restaurant or bar has the right to exclude any kind of clientele they want. And that’s the way it should be. I can wear my Ed Hardy shirt elsewhere, or dress differently should I choose to go to Republic.
Eh. I dunno. Wearing a suit is like wearing a uniform; it doesn’t say a lot about the wearer. It’s really the tie that’s key. If you see someone with a themed tie, you can be pretty sure you’re dealing with a dick.
ummmm no offense to all of you guys, but why do you care so much about this? it’s supposed to be a funny picture, that’s it. I’m sure the club owner did not mean to be stereotypical. Were just doing their job that’s all. Figure out something new to comment on
I live in Memphis, TN, and in some public places, certain colors or color combinations, brands, etc. aren’t allowed because they can be construed as a sign of gang affiliation, whether you mean them to or not, and that can cause violent situations.
This is definitely the Republic in New Orleans… And this has nothing to do with gang affiliation (in this case), just douchebaggery.
ummmmm…how do you know this?
If you look carefully, you will see the very difficult-to-read print black print between the lines of white print, wherein it mentions douchey clothing lines, such as Ed Hardy, which will apparently no longer be allowed to be worn in whatever this place is.
never seen the show, but I know justified hate whwn I see it
It’s a reference to a truly awful show. So no, there isn’t a reason you should get it.
This was supposed to nest up there ☝, with Jons comment.
That’s just terrible! Oy!
Totally justified though.
I feel good, then, because I didn’t get it at all.
yeah i don’t get it either someone explain…
guess you have to watch jersery shore
I think it’s a TV reference? Pop culture? Most likely something that shouldn’t be of any importance to anybody, but for some unknown reason, is.
I’m sorry, I don’t speak American
Where is this? I think I may have to move there.
It’s for a club in New Orleans
Amen!!!!
I wish that horrible show would get canceled but too many idiots love it. Damn guido’s (and I am Italian too)!
Fer sher! I give you a fist pump on that one. XD
Jersey Shore is a TV Show.
Affliction, Ed Hardy, and Christian Audigier are expensive clothing brands. How expensive you ask? A pair of Affliction jeans can cost $150+. An Ed Hardy tee-shirt can cost $100+. A Christian Audigier (a designer who also created Ed Hardy) tee-shirt can cost $150+.
… so the dress code for whatever establishment that is omits over-priced super-tacky clothes?
I can totally be on board with that.
Agreed.
Now they need to ban the orange spray-on tans.
Do those people realize they look like Oompa Loompas?
Yeah, but at least it covers the gray.
You mean…*GASP!!*…people with orange spray-on tans are…are…ZOMBIES??
no no no.. zombies with orange spray-on tans are zombies, people with orange spray-on tans are idiots.
Oooooooh.
That makes so much sense.
*squeeze*
*RIGLMS*
ok.. I give up. What’s MS?
Myself Silly
and the I?
in
I guess zombies with orange spray-on tans were idiots when they were still people.
Best reply ever!
Just gonna say it, not all spray tans turn orange. Its just if you overdo it, or get the cheap, machine-applied kind, that they get orange. I’ve had a few before. I looked into getting a machine MysticTan, but I heard they almost always look really bad. So I payed a little more, and had to stand naked in front of a total stranger to get mine, but I never got any comments about it being orange or really unnatural. Of course, maybe I just never came across anyone who would randomly insult a stranger, but a classmate did ask me if I’d been to the beach when she saw it. My family and close friends knew it was fake, but they also know that I have a pretty bad photosensitivity and can’t sun-tan or tan in a bed.
But the Jersey shore cast members WANT that color, don’t they? I mean, surely otherwise they wouldn’t do it.
Or maybe they just need to save their money for gaudy clothing…
100 dollars for a T-Shirt? I can get 33 cheap shirts for that price! I could help clothe entire village in freaking Africa for the same amount of money it would take a freaking Guido to buy a couple of outfits.
I think my entire wardrobe costs less than one of their outfits … $40 (equivalent) for a band shirt at a concert seems steep – and I’d much rather be seen supporting a favourite band than some jumped up “designer” who only turns a profit thanks to their insane prices and a very clever marketing agent.
Created Ed Hardy? You mean, like, in a test tube?
You do know he’s a real person, right?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_hardy/
he’s probably confused since all of the major marketing for Ed Hardy says “by Christian Audigier”. He does own the rights to the Ed Hardy line and probably all of its creative licenses, and in a way is very much the creator of Ed Hardy as we know it today.
But yeah, way to make a douchey clothing line while ripping off an amazing artist.
for the affliction, that’s why you just buy the shirts with your favorite mma fighter on it.
yeaaa he didnt create ed hardy, hes just exploiting him.
its really sad, because ed hardys TATTOO designs arent bad at all, the guy studied under sailor jerry for gods sake.
but that dickwad christian audiger completely exploited him and sold his designs on tv shirts for wayy too much money.. and now every little teeny bopper in the country is wearing ed hardy, but really, they wouldnt even know who he was if it werent for audiger’s exploitation of his work.
hate the exploiter, not the artist.
If she’s on Cougar Town, she’s probably too old to go down
Dude, Bill Lawrence’s wife, Christa Miller, is hot as hell. I’d pull a J.D. on her ass anyday!
Hahahahaha. I guess they don’t want to have a “Situation.”
Woooowww, so cheesy.
I still laughed though.
Whether it makes sense or not, it’s a bonus fail. Wheeeeeee!!!!!
Thank you, PTB!
I like you a lot, little kitteh! You’re so positive and upbeat!
It’s all good. I’m getting paid whether people are here or not.
And being here is better than working.
*pokes head into thread*
I’m here! …Mostly, anyway. I’se feeling puny today, with a headache and low-level fever.
*squeeze*
*gives DW some chicken noodle soup*
*pouts*
Couldn’t I have a hot toddy delivered by a hot male person with a really big brain and appreciation for intellectual babes instead??
*had to look up “hot toddy”*
*takes temperature – definitely not hot*
*measures brain – wonders if the worms and maggots count*
*appreciates intellectual babes*
Is 1 out of 4 really that bad?
Not at all…after all, you got the really important one!
*gooshyzombiesqueeze*
I can’t delivery a hot toddy, but i can wish you a speedy recovery.
*SKA-WEEZES*
X2
Either you guys are all being ironic, or…
I don’t exactly know what this sign is trying to tell me, but it says something about “No Ed Hardy”, “No Christian Audigier” and “No Exceptions” as well as “New Dress Code” at the very bottom – accordingly, this sign is a WIN! Ed Hardy is clearly FAIL
I’m getting the impression that most of us don’t watch Jersey Shore, so don’t really get the references within the sign. A significant number of the people who post here regularly aren’t from the U.S., so most of them (and perhaps a good chunk of the U.S. regulars) didn’t even know the show exists.
I’ve seen bits and pieces about them (the Jersey Shore kids) on TMZ, and fail to see why they’re popular. They’re ugly, they don’t seem to be particularly intelligent or interesting, and they’re getting paid way too much money to do nothing.
(I’ve never even heard of this show…or these people. Right now, I’m not feeling so badly about that! *squeeze!*)
Seeing them might endanger some brain cells. They’re awfully scary. Perhaps we could use them as human shields in some sort of international conflict.
You can find info on the cast here. Their voices pretty much sound like you’d guess them to sound.
Some Italian-American groups have complained to MTV that the show celebrates negative stereotypes of Italian-American culture, but MTV is in this for the ratings & they apparently pull in ratings.
The first time I heard of Jersey Shore was when one of my friends took a quiz on Facebook. He failed to relate to any Jersey Shore character, to which his reply was:
.
Now that’s just mean.
*stomps off in a huff*
*giggles*
I’d be perfectly content to send 41% of the U.S. Senate instead.
*flutters eyelashes*
Hee!
“They’re ugly, they don’t seem to be particularly intelligent or interesting,”
——
Much like most of the “guest stars” on COPS.
Exactly! Of course, they’re entertaining on COPS because they’re being caught doing something wrong… and they’re not getting paid insane sums of money for being on the show (as far as I know).
Watching stupid people get what’s coming to them is always entertaining.
I thought the show started off pointing out that the subjects were considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
*attempts to keep straight face through that*
*fails*
I don’t watch the show, but I’m a native New Yorker who lived on the Jersey Shore for several years. I don’t have to watch the show to know the stereotypes represented… and any club which bans such people is clearly a win.
LOL! I think being near those kids would give me hives.
Drop the “es” and it would probably be closer to the truth…
“… would give me hiv?”
*snerk* I actually had to type that out to understand it.
I have actually heard of them before. There was some news bit on one morning not that long ago where they were crying that they weren’t getting paid enough. It made me laugh and reminded me the value of an education – ANY education!
The kids were holding out — they wanted a raise from $5k to $100k per episode, or something like that (I’m likely wrong – but you get the picture). MTV offered $10k per episode & the kids were saying “no,” until MTV told them they’d be happy to find other neighborhood kids who would jump at the chance to become the new faces of Jersey Shore.
The brats reconsidered, but quick.
Wait, they wanted more than $5K?!! ROTFLMFAO I’d pay that much for all of them to kill themselves. I’ve never seen the actual show, just clips and news blurbs about them, and they make a lot of good arguments for assisted suicide. Wait, I meant socially sanctioned murder.
On a side note, MTV and Jersey Shore are coming out with a new Breakfast Cereal: “Snookie Smacks”
“They’re Fake-n-Baked, not fried”
Looks like someone named Ed Hardy wouldn’t be allowed at that store. No loss there.
I think this sign might for a club in Vancouver (Republic in the corner). Lately they’ve been cracking down on gangsters who frequent nightclubs, who wear those brands.
BC? or WA (USA)?
That would be Vancouver, BC.
Vancouver, BC, Canada.
It’s the republic in New Orleans
Its definitely the Republic in New Orleans, their logo is on the bottom…
And the sign isn’t an effort to keep gangsters away, its an effort to keep douchebags away. bravo imo
Those brands are basically the outfit of our modern day “douche-bags”. Cheesey lowlifes that scower clubs with ill intent, roofies and a general “Im the most awesome thing here” attitude.
~ We all know that clothes determine the value of a person. ~
YOU BASTARDS!
wow…you just made a statement in which you defined people that wear ed hardy as being cool, and simultaneously made a statement condemning people who make judgments based on clothing… you FAIL hard.
http://www.republicnola.com/about-republic-neworleans.html
The logo matches
Glad my friends are smart enough to figure out anyone can buy a $100 shirt, and that wearing expensive clothes really doesn’t have anything to do with class.
the republic is located in New ORleans, LA and Amen to their door policy.
I believe that’s The Republic in New Orleans.
yea it is
Yup. Their sign is a win…but the club itself is still a fail.
i think the only cool thing the republic does is friday night throwback.
I always thought Republic was where the Jersey Shore types went. Very bridge and tunnel.
I hadn’t thought about it until just now, but I haven’t seen that many dark skinned people there. Also, last time I was there, the girls were mostly seniors in high school.
Yup, Republic is in New Orleans. I just saw that sign when I recently went and I think it’s brilliant! Though ironically, if you look at some of their staff and (perhaps former) clientele, they look and dress just like they came off of Jersey Shore. I only go for their indie rock shows, though have seen enough people in/around there at times to know. Also, a lot of celebrities frequent this place when in town (especially Kim Kardashian).
Yea they do bring in some good shows but as soon as the band’s are done the Dj booth goes up and it turn’s into douchy mc douche town
Out of curiosity I went to the clubs website, I would assume that it is not a racist establishment because the first picture on the site is of two black men (they are celebrities, but heck if I know) attending the club. I applaud the no d-bag dress code though! I doubt it will keep them out though.
THAT’S IN NEW ORLEANS….THE REPUBLIC lol….AWESOME!!!
fail at failing
fist pump!
Alls I know is Jon Gosselin wears a ton of Ed Hardy, which means nobody here will ever wear it, not even from a thrift store.
I looked at the comments to see what this sign was all about, and then when you guys reminded me about “Jersey Shore” being a reality TV show, I wish I hadn’t been so curious. . . .
“Jersey Shore”, yet another eMpTy Vee waste of time. . . .
the republic in nola? i recognize their logo! awesome. represent nola!
incredibly stupid and not funny
This is from @nikrichie on his twitter. Everyone go to TheDirty.com to see his site, he’s the King!!!!
*************This is from @nikrichie on his twitter. Everyone go to TheDirty.com to see his site, he’s the King!!!!*********************
Yeah, that site seems to be full of the very same people that this club wants to avoid, screw you, spammer.
I fully agree with this movement. Lets keep up the good work!
does it say no affliciton? and by that does it mean like the mma shirts? that would be stupid, can’t walk in sporting a fedor shirt, i wouldn’t want to go there anyway.
Tapout FTW!
The Republic caters to all ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds. All different types of people work and play there. TYPICALLY, those who prefer these types of clothes are more likely to engage in violent behavior. New Orleans is already a rowdy place. Guys who get carried out by security guards are ALMOST always wearing one of these brands. Plus, that style of clothing does not reflect the young/professional style that Republic is trying to maintain. Every day of the week the club has a different style night so everyone’s musical tastes are taken care of.
fail
True. No affliction or Christian who considers cleverness ‘devilish’.
I don’t know what is more disgraceful: the fact that half of you numnuts can get onto this website but ya’ll don’t know how to use google. DUH. Epic fail for all you dumbasses.
Hahahahaha, the entire Jersey Shore cast is laughing ALL the way to the bank!
classism win!
Burma-Shave
Christian Audigier is the designer of the Ed Hardy brand. Hence all the clothes saying “Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier”. And I think, but I could be wrong, he has no other brands right now. So, “no Ed Hardy, no Christan Audigier” seems redundant.
Read the brand names, idiots.
Where can I get that poster?
wow jersey shore sucks. it’s like making fun of new jersey. Nobody talks like the way they talk on friken show. they are all from new york… kinda gives the shore a bad name. when the jerseyshore is so fun and beautiful. such as cape may and ocean grove. sandy hook and seaside is kinda dirty but gotten better with that.
hilarioussss i wanna hang this on my front door
If they want to keep the Juhzzey folks out, all they have to do is require that all people who want in demonstrate that they know how to operate a gas pump. That’ll do the trick without any dress codes.
It’s a nice way of saying “No Douchebags”. I’m sure they are just using Jersey Shore as a reference here and not necessarily talking about guidos here. Douchebags wear this stuff all across the nation. It’s the uniform.
it’s a WIN
Jersey Shore? No ‘new’? REAL Jersey is offended by you American idiot MTV people.
i bet none of u have balls
