» 257 Failures in Communication

  1. Sev says:

    haha america!

  2. Samantha says:

    Is that a woman leaning against the wall?
    Why is she smiling….

  3. Kyle says:

    They’re all fat.

  4. Schmock says:

    Why do they need two padlocks on this chest?!

  5. grannycatflap says:

    where’s the hole?

  6. Arnold says:

    Hahaha.. FAIL indeed

  7. grannycatflap says:

    Anti-Al Qaeda weapons

  8. AmasNevy says:

    guys you can photoshop this in less than a minute

  9. E-mail (required - never shown publicly) says:

    Reminds me of an apocryphal WWII story — a Russian battalion deep in the field was to be supplied by US forces, and when asked for a list of needed items, provided one with the last line reading “10,000 condoms — size 12 inch” .. The Americans sent them, in wrappers marked “US Army Standard Issue, Size Small”.

    • Gobias says:

      haha srsly? xD win!

    • kstyle says:

      Stupid

    • PsychoDad says:

      Double check on Snopes, but I think I heard that as a true story from a few different theaters, incl. The first Gulf war. Psych warfare, rubbers that would fit over a gas pump marked Small, airdropped in a case of other standard field supplies.

    • Damaged says:

      Likely because typically, condoms are used (with a rubber band) over the muzzle of your gun in wet/snow conditions to keep it dry, and, well you don’t need large ones for that :)

    • Judo says:

      Heard a similiar story involving Churchill. Someone suggested leaving behind very large condoms behind for German soldiers to find. It was suggested the packages be marked something like: Size: Large. Winston said, “No. Label them, ‘Small.’”

  10. CJ says:

    Umm, *fail*? WIN.

  11. SimppaK says:

    I agree. But they might mark a crate though.

  12. mondo says:

    haha, is this the american burger king army?

    maybe the playboy bunnies from Apocalypse Now are in the box?

  13. grannycatflap says:

    “no way the US military is dumb enough to…..” LOL!

  14. Slovakiansensation says:

    Discreet fail… or Sex Win?

  15. Hej tester says:

    test test test test… virk nu!

  16. JD says:

    If it’s a Photoshop job, it’s a really good one.

    I don’t think it’s military though, there probably would be more identifying markings. I think it’s more likely they found some stash, whoever owned the stash made the crate, or it’s just some joke.

  17. ShadowTheSniperZombie C.C.C./Head of the Janitors' Union/Co-owner of ZombieTrollNetwork/makes rare sightings like bigfoot says:

    Only in America.

  18. grannycatflap says:

    as if killing civilians doesn’t make them horny enough

    • Dazzrik says:

      Congrats on posting the most ignorant comment of the day. The prize is free sterilization so you can never pass on your clearly defective genes. We shall submit your comment to the “ignorant comment of the week” competition for the chance of winning a free lobotomy.

      • grannycatflap says:

        *holds all 5 thumbs*

      • when’s it your turn to go in the box?

      • steve brown says:

        Dazzrik – Shut your squeal hole you self righteous moron. The US military gets off on killing civilians…is that news to you…surely not….

        • Dazzrik says:

          Proof? Or do you just make sweeping generalizations about every profession/race/gender/religion/politcal group?

      • xTwichx says:

        i second that motion. that person should never be allowed to stain this earth with offspring

      • Sossen says:

        Can’t handle a little dissent? i thought the americans granted freedom of spe… Oh right got it now it doesnt say freedom AFTER speech…

        • Dazzrik says:

          Actually, I handle dissent quite nicely… if it was based on absolutely any truth. Freedom of speech goes both ways… and I’m using my freedom of speech to point out that he’s a moron for making idiotic statements. Perhaps I just don’t find unbased accusations of murder and deviant sexual stimulation as appropriate as you apparently do.

          • Sossen says:

            Since when is politics about truth? It was before, but if you look at America today you will find that through the corruption of american media your (im assuming since you defend the american military so vigilantly) democracy has ceased to function properly.

          • Sossen says:

            Also your statement implying quite implicitly that you want to cut his balls off is something I would deem to be an infringement of the US constitution and also a number of american laws should you go through with it while he only made a statement not implying any action as vile as yours. And while he is a quite obvious troll, which you probably haven’t noticed yet, you made a statement which I can’t see as anything else than a (in mood) serious threat, while his is nothing but an aggravating and probably not serious (though that is irrelevant) statement meant to piss off people like you. Which is why the phrase “don’t feed the troll” exists.

            • Essayons says:

              Granny, you’re an idiot, and a troll. The Military over there has a strict no-fire policy unless completely necessary. And it is vigorously enforced. Yes, some accidents happen where civilians have been caught between US crossfire, but thats what happens when you pull a trigger at the correct target and a civilian walks in between. Theres nothing you can do about a bullet already in flight. The vast majority of civilian deaths are caused by suicide bombers. So basically what you’re saying is when theres a news headline that says “75 iraqis were killed in a blast today” you assume it was the US military? Well, there’s your problem.

              • grannycatflap says:

                read my original comment you f*cking twat

                “He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.” Albert Einstein

                • grannycatflap says:

                  Anything about the US in there?

                • raymond says:

                  well if the U.S. didnt enter the fray of the war he was talking about that person’s entire extended family wouldve been destroyed… and that man helped those ignoble war-mongers kill like 130,000 japanese who had nothing to do with the mass killing of those of his religion and extended family. interesting that we use his quotes to claim anti-war. and he couldve been “torn to shreds” (he fled germany in the late 1930′s to come to america) and he was a “part of so base an action” (he was the brains behind the manhatten project) so einstein is a “murderer” by his own definition and volition.

                  • grannycatflap says:

                    thanks Raymond, if that’s even your name. Well done for ending WWII, better late than never eh?
                    Anyway, like I was saying, BUY MY WEAPONS!!!!

            • Dazzrik says:

              I realize sarcasm doesn’t translate particularly well over the internet, but I thought mine was pretty obvious. “Serious threat”? You’ve got to be kidding me. I make a jokey comment to a stupid troll (obvious troll is obvious) and you try to make him out to be some kind of free speech, political hero? Lol.

            • Dazzrik says:

              And while we’re (you’re) taking everything completely literally… since when does sterilization mean cutting off someone’s balls? I seriously hope you’re not a doctor or thinking of becoming one.

              • Sossen says:

                Oh man the irony, thats just what I’m gonna be actually. You see the process of male sterilization – and I mean vasectomy since it is the most common – involves only (only) the cutting off of the vas deferens. Look it up.

                • Dazzrik says:

                  Yes, exactly! YOU are the one talking about cutting off peoples’ balls as a form sterilization. Not me. Thank you for finally realizing you’re wrong.

                  • Sossen says:

                    Are you willfully ignorant? Vasectomy is the by miles most simple and common type of permanent male sterilization, so of course that is what I assume you were referring to when you said “sterilization”. What did you have in mind then?

                    • Dazzrik says:

                      Wow. Is your memory that short? Read your own post on THIS thread. Your exact quote was: “Also your statement implying quite implicitly that you want to cut his balls off…” It’s kind of hard for you to completely change your story when it’s still on this thread for all to read.

                      • Sossen says:

                        It does still imply it, since vasectomy is equivalent to cutting one’s balls off.

                        • Dazzrik says:

                          Oh ok… so not only is this the third time you’ve changed your story, but now you’ve resorted to arguing about semantics? You have to realize at this point that you’re doing nothing more than running around in circles trying to save face.

                        • grannycatflap says:

                          if you wanted to borrow a pair of testicles, you could just ask. I heard you’ll swallow anything that some guy in a suit has to offer

                        • Sossen says:

                          How am I changing my story? I correctly brand your wanting to sterilize him as wanting to cut his balls off, then explain to you what male sterilization is, then I have to further explain to you that cutting off your balls means just that – cutting of your balls, and now you wont even defend that position! Do you or do you not want to cut his balls off? If not then how would a male PERMANENT sterilization be performed?

                        • Dazzrik says:

                          Cool! You came up with a 4th version! And now you’re just randomly adding words like “permanent” in an attempt to win by technicality! You don’t seem to catch on very quickly and I really don’t know how much clearer I can make this… but I’ll try one more time. Yes, cutting off someone’s balls will prevent them from reproducing just as pushing someone off a cliff will also do the same. There was abolutely NO IMPLICATION that I was talking about either circumstance. You just keep making assumptions and adding words in an attempt to make my (joke) statement into something it’s not. Your childish logic is beginning to bore me.

                        • Sossen says:

                          Explain your version?

                        • Sossen says:

                          Also permanent was pointed out earlier. And ad hominem-”arguments” are tedious and timewasting, please refrain.

                        • Sossen says:

                          Or wait, you thought I was changing my position when I explained how a vasectomy is performed? Well I wasn’t, I was quite clearly implying that cutting off the vas deferens is to cut off the balls.

                        • Dazzrik says:

                          Are you bothering to read your posts before you respond at all? Because you just keep doing the same thing over and over again. First you describe a vasectomy as the most common form of permanent sterilization. And then all of a sudden “permanent” means cutting off someone’s balls. Oh, and by the way, I never said anything about “permanent” sterilization. You just keep coming back to this whole balls thing. Oh and by the way, you used the term “ad hominem” incorrectly. I’d suggest you look it up.

                        • Sossen says:

                          Look, this is no debate, I’m not here to convince anyone else than you (even if there was anyone else here who still read this) so these lies of yours don’t exactly encourage me to continue. Since you don’t want to lose so badly that you are resorting to ignoring the main argument and arguing about whether a vasectomy is to cut off someones balls or not I think I will call it a day. Dont know why I bothered to in the first place, y know. It’s not like the internet was made for intelligent discussion anyways.

                • raymond says:

                  uh you can (and we do for sexual predators) chemically castrate men. but doc. you must of course know that.

                  • Sossen says:

                    It’s a misnome. Chemical castration is both reversible and not fully a castration, its more like psychoactive drug treatment of a sexual disorder.

            • C-Mac says:

              Saying you want to cut off someone’s balls is not an “infringement” of the Constitution. The Constitution doesn’t protect against legal private acts. Last I checked, neither wanting to do something nor thinking about doing something were illegal. Just sayin’. Maybe you should chill out and leave the lawyer-speak to the adults.

  19. cooperised says:

    I don’t like the way the guy behind the crate has his hands in his pockets.

  20. grannycatflap says:

    that female soldier is like: Awe! :( what’s wrong with me?

  21. grannycatflap says:

    what do you call a female soldier with shaven bits?
    Constable

  22. Evertide says:

    I dunno, I think this is pretty win….

  23. The Wonderer says:

    That is so ‘shopped.

  24. CAPT Zack says:

    In what parralel universe would this be considered a FAIL. This is like a 4 or 5 times a day win right there

  25. P.J.Fry says:

    ..how.. is that even slightly a fail?

  26. octo says:

    Nah, that’s just the new uniforms the US Army wears. I swear they do make the soldiers look fat. (their older uniforms didn’t seem to have that side-effect)

    • Steaming Pile says:

      The guy standing in front of the locker isn’t exactly skinny. He’s more the “ah played high school football” type. Probably an artilleryman or a combat engineer; those guys need to be on the brawny side.

      The female soldier on his right, on the other hand, probably drives a forklift or something.

      My son wears those same uniforms in the Air Force – he’s pretty skinny, and the uniform does hide that pretty well.

    • IGAH says:

      Actually, those are Marines. Notice the bloused pants (tucked under so they look nice) The Army doesn’t do that. You can also see the EGA on the cover. And they are pretty fat, especially those guys in the back.

      • Rae says:

        Army blouses the boots, and the Marines have a different pattern for their uniforms.

        • raymond says:

          right on! you can tell the branch by the camo pattern. airforce is same colors just a little darker green but it is like animal stiped more… like tiger stripes or something it is a wierd pattern. marines have the same pattern just different colors.

      • Essayons says:

        IGAH are you kidding? The Army does blouse their pants….in fact, so does every other branch of the US military. I have no clue where you got that from.

      • Matrix says:

        Wrong! Marines don’t have the Specialist rank. That guy standing there has a specialist rank insignia. He’s an E-3. The only E-3s in the Marines are Corporals. Plus, Marines’ uniforms are different colors. Those are Army ACUs, and that is an Army Rank and Service Patch.

  27. Redspacecat says:

    This is the only way to get weapons past al qaida.

  28. Hunter says:

    I hate to throw a wet blanket on this, but it may be genuine. It may be a box of contraband collected up, properly labeled (in a military manner), locked and ready to be either shipped home or destroyed.

    Alternately, it could be some soldier’s joke.

    • AJ says:

      I’m going to go with the joke hypothesis. Contrary to the trolls and people with sticks up their asses around here, people in the military tend to joke around quite a lot (when it’s allowed). It’s a good way of dealing with stress.
      This being the military, I’d think that actual contraband would be labeled something like “Disallowed Items A-M175 Lot 2B”

  29. mr bunz says:

    i would say thats a win

  30. Humm. says:

    Dunno if someone said this already or even reads the ones this far down, but anyway, love it how it’s so well locked up.

  31. mr.lolsinhower says:

    FIRSSSSST

  32. Spind says:

    Photoshop or not… ROFL xDD

  33. rickCa says:

    But.. the Internet was for Military first! :-)

  34. Jim says:

    Everyone, that is an amnesty box. A place to get rid of your unauthorized items without penalty.

  35. lava360blog says:

    the real weapon of mass destruction.. highly lethal :)

  36. rickCa says:

    More proof that they spend lots of money on war instead of social well-being.

  37. Randomness says:

    This is NOT a fail.

  38. steve brown says:

    If it’s not shopped, then it’s a labelling fail like those, yawn, P15I ones or whatever, that spell out the (racist) term ‘P*KI’…maybe

  39. Jeff says:

    The locks are a nice touch.

  40. Wheezie says:

    Fail? Or… WIN?!

  41. Anomonous says:

    Did you find that out the hard way?

  42. skeptic says:

    I’m guessing some equipment borrowed from or couriered by the Brits:

    Property Of Royal Navy.

    But that would make it, instead of a discretion fail, just an acronym fail.

  43. USMAMule says:

    au contraire mon frair – for the WIN!! An army travels on its masturbation kiddies.

  44. USMAMule says:

    Forty Year Old Virgin

  45. john says:

    hope everyone can see that it is a fake.

  46. mostlyharmless says:

    Yes, yes it is that dumb. It’s probably an amnesty box. Or joke.

  47. JellyFishin' says:

    It’s not fake (according to my husband, who’s been over there 3x). It is what it is. But you are right about the spouses and naughty pics etc. :D I’m just glad I didn’t find out the hard way.

  48. f-f-f-fail master says:

    well, now I know why his hand is in his pants!

  49. J-9 says:

    Those are dangerous you can’t put them on safety.

    They’ll go off whenever.

    It’ll be so quick.

    You won’t know what happened.

    Any one like the pun’s?

  50. J says:

    All the guys in that picture look rather out of shape and overweight…

  51. Guillermo Mansilla says:

    WIN

  52. Wan Kur says:

    Wow really.
    This is my rifle
    This is my gun
    this ones for killing
    this ones for fun

  53. Mr.D says:

    IT IS LOCKED! DAMN YOU CAPTAIN!!! D:<

  54. Lomond says:

    Soldier behind the box: “WANT”

  55. MJ says:

    That box is WAY too small…

  56. Darkesis says:

    the commander are a little distracted with the box ¿Do you want to know the reason?

  57. PsychoDad says:

    Um, yeah, try reading some of the other stuff first, especially when you are this late to the game.

  58. PsychoDad says:

    I agree with your basic concept, I opined for something the same, see above — but why would US Customs be operating to control someone else’s borders?

    • raymond says:

      why do we have customs for people leaving our country??? same reason! because the US doesnt want to offend the host nation.

  59. ZERO says:

    make us proud troops, I salute you XD

  60. lolasaurus lex says:

    You gotta see past the obvious…This is a psychic soldier training technique used to train soldiers to see inside containers, through walls etc.

    You can see from his facial expression and hand positioning that he is desperately trying to visualize the contents of the box.

    This is a clever training exercise win.

  61. proteus says:

    that military girl in the background is hot

  62. Gageima says:

    *signs up for military*

  63. Andrew Ong says:

    Perhaps they are certainly not in the call of duty.

  64. Nikolash2 says:

    U guys do understand that that left is a woman… :P PPPP

  65. Chris says:

    I love the guy who is starring at it, he’s like yeah I’m jerking tonight

  66. steven says:

    haha hoooo rahhhh devildogs get some …….
    semper fi

  67. Hakencat says:

    it’s more of win to me .-.

  68. Oracle says:

    Inside is our most powerful weapon. A copy of the 2 girls 1 cup video.

  69. scott says:

    How else are they supposed to keep their rifles up and ready to fire? XD

  70. JackZeroX says:

    hey! soldiers have needs too!

  71. epodon says:

    I wonder if there’s any “Classy Ass” in there…

  72. blue_destiny says:

    Whether this is shopped (as some of the others before me said) or not, the picture made me laugh XD

    But this really feels more like a Win than a Fail

  73. fullmontis says:

    It IS shopped… And pretty bad too!

    But anyway, anything is good for the lulz

  74. PhD in Fail says:

    It’s a WOMD!

  75. randygland says:

    This is a WIN mofo

  76. raymond says:

    actually the military is oddly specific! like very very specific in thier own way. that is why they abbreviate everything. (they dont have police, they have c.i.d. or n.c.is.) they dont have recycling centers (they have material collection centers)

  77. Rich says:

    I can’t believe there’s only two lock on it….

  78. Taneen says:

    At first glance, I thought it was mislabled, should have been PORK and the soldier behind who is well built fella looks longingly at it as its shipped back.

  79. Kindhamster says:

    I am now going to start obeying those “join the army” posters

  80. shas says:

    its locked cause ?

    • Sbdude says:

      its the most powerful thing in the world and they dont want anyone to see it. maybe it has Megen fox in their :)

  81. Dwight says:

    they have women in the military now. all you have to do is…

  82. Doc says:

    I wonder if it’s standard issue.

  83. madman13 says:

    This is why I total support the USO. Semper Fi

  84. atoneforsin says:

    i would concider this a win!

  85. TheGreek says:

    Are you sure it isn’t a photoshopped “AIRBORNE”?

  86. HJL says:

    Fake or not still pretty funny!

  87. Failer says:

    Total win!

  88. pablexis95 says:

    So this is where our taxes go!…

  89. says:

    I’m sure it stands for “Powerful Overkill Rocket Nukes” or something.

  90. shadowmoses says:

    he’s already playing pocket pool

  91. loremasterstl says:

    “Wait… there’s only bullets in here. Oh, a ruse… Wait, that’s doesn’t work….”

  92. brixtonsun says:

    EPIC WIN!!! USA USA USA!!!!!!

  93. joseph1985dm says:

    Isn’t that Pandora’s box…?

  94. Mechas says:

    the female soldier behing looks so hot

  95. Captain Platypus says:

    That ain’t a fail on our part. We need something to motivate our brave men.

  96. er says:

    u mean left

  97. Aaron says:

    Is this real?

  98. Nate says:

    This is no fail, this is a WIN

  99. blondoO says:

    it’s a necesity :) )

  100. SPCOsborne says:

    Remember: Underneath the uniform they’re people too. And I recommend failblog in the event of what some people are prone to do.

  101. DeSNIX says:

    THAT IS A EPIC WIN!!!!

  102. captainawesome12 says:

    well then… i knew the army was using our tax money for something but i just wasn’t sure what….

  103. dieinafire says:

    Die in a fire.

  104. junebug says:

    this is probably the only real reason why we invaded Iraq

  105. FailScout says:

    This is the kind of initiative that kept Soviet paratroopers off my lawn!

  106. Kimsballs says:

    We called them FM’s when we deployed, because the military has real FMs, Field Manual, we called them F*CK Manuals. So when you asked for FMs every one knew what you wanted as no one gave a shit about field manuals.

  107. krlkrl says:

    Total WIN
