Can’t breathe!
This reminds me of a mitch hedberg joke and turtle necks and backpacks
*about*
I guess it’s just you, because that reminds me of a sponge… SQUISHY SQUISH SQUISH SQUISH xD
That reminds me that Mitch Hedberg isn’t funny.
Well, not any more, cause he’s dead, but when he was alive I thought he was pretty funny…
This reminds me of my nights in Italy.
*squish*
At that age the bones are still supple.
Is that why they are described as “bouncing” or is that something else?
It might explain rubber baby buggy bumpers.
Hee! Hee!
Is that what they mean by baby bedding?
Well, that all depends on how much sugar they’ve ingested for the day.
*puts down nearly empty bag of rainbow coloured candy*
Sorry, what?
Awww – he’s just trying to keep the poor kid warm.
…and smothering him/her with attention?
What’s wrong with smothering a kid with love??
I’ll make some refreshments!
Bwahahahahahaha!!! You two!!!
*snork*
*squeeze*
Or marmalade.
Or Nutella.
I draw the line at peanut butter however.
How about buttercream icing?
No peanut butter and Nutella?
*flashes back to eating Koogle as a kid*
I’m not fond of Nutella, but Koogle was yummy! It was flavored peanut butter & came in chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, and banana. I loved the vanilla one.
That sounds incredible, can you still get it?
No, unfortunately. It was discontinued sometime in the 70s.
Omg…now I need to make a snack run to the store. Anyone want anything?
Could you go back to the 70s and get some Koogle? I’d like to try that. Go ahead and get one of each flavor.
Thanks!
I would, but the Doctor deactivated my vortex manipulator.
Apparently I wasn’t being “responsible” with it.
*Snickers*
Too bad, I would definitely try the banana and the vanilla.
So you’re saying that peanut butter is like a decomposing body, it’s no fun at all until it starts talking and then it becomes terrifying.
Talking peanut butter … DO NOT WANT.
Mother always taught me: Never eat singing food.
Mine taught me to never sing while eating food.
Really? My mom makes a delicious peanut butter and Billy Joel sandwich.
Hold on, Junior. Just let me finish this text and I’ll let you breathe again.
Baby on bored.
Kids are resilient, maybe some don’t need as much air.
Maybe it’s a zombie baby?
Happy friday to all regular failpeeps!
Hey! Where did my avatar go?
Great! I knew I shoulda paid that gravatar bill last week… Now my service has been suspended!
Howdy, DuR!
Hi, LGB! I like your new name.
It’s good to know I can escape football fans somehwere nice.
Geez, to think this World Cup thing will last a month!
Soccer fans, I mean
Failpeep name fail, sport name fail and assumption fail.
*squeezes Arthur*
Three strikes! Yerrrrrrr out!
Yeah, but my old name was Judy.
What? But I…
Alright, then.
*Hangs head in shame*
Sowwy guys.
♪ Tell me, how’s he supposed to breathe with no air?
Can’t live, can’t breathe with no air. ♫
♪You take my breath awaaaay…♫
*pouncesqueeze*
It’s been a while, Hammy! How are you these days?
Pretty alright. Managed to finish 2/6 of my IB classes this year, so I only have four to do in grade 12. AND now it’s summer, which is pretty awesome.
How’s the blog?
Sounds awesome. I’ve been doing fine myself, but what with all the exams it’s been pretty hectic!
The blog’s been blooming beautifully, in my opinion. Lots of new members, new faces. Marvellous.
pilow win
Booster seat.
he’s not squished, he’s asleep in the carrier. I’m sure the dad isn’t leaning back and smashing him. I say babywearing is a big win. I’d much rather see a baby being held than sitting in a bucket alone on the ground.
full ack
I agree with you starph1sh, why does failblog hate babywearers so much? As long as he isn’t leaning back, let the man have a seat for a minute. Sheesh!
Ditto
….and I am back in the womb..
something like that anyway.
Did you pee in the pool, K@?
*scootches quickly away*
*Scootches quickly in the way*
*SQUEEZE!*
I hope you got that scootch on tape. Could be a sticky situation.
*squeeeeze!*
I wore me Scootch plaide kilt for the occasion.
*squeezes Marius and Dragon*
*gets stuck*
That looks like a good place to get “stuck”
Me, Noooooo, promise, a bit……No, no definitely not…..Yes.
I’m confused about how it’s a fail… what’s he supposed to do, stand up or perch on the edge of the seat such that he might fall with a sudden movement and harm his child? He’s not exactly leaning back on the kid. I guess if you aren’t used to seeing babies/kids in Ergos it looks kind of weird, but to me it looks like the kid is just fine :-/
Yes, standing up would be a good decision…and a common thing to see on any train.
Standing up in a crowd with a child on your back is no fun. Kids tend to be mistaken for far less crushable objects, if they’re noticed at all.
Perhaps removing the baby from the carrier & holding her/him in his lap instead of texting would be an option.
I fail to see how waking the child and making one or both arms unavailable for use when getting off the train would be a useful option.
That is why you fail.
The man misorder’d doth, in common sense, crowd us and crush us to this monstrous form, to hold our safety third.
How about the child IN FRONT?
Man – Honey, yes little timmy is just fine *CRUNCH*
Woman – What was that?
Man – I’m eating crackers… on the train.
why must people keep doing this?
Kids always got your back.
He’s just babysitting.
Okay, that is NOT what “Baby Got Back” means.
If you ask me, the guy is being a little rash.
Perhaps “babyleaning?”
He’s texting “are you ok back there?”
The kid is doing a cross word puzzle.
Can you hear me now?
I think the kid needs more breathing minutes on the family plan.
hmphmnmphhmphphmnmphmnm
♪ Hush now baby, baby, don’t you cry.
Dadda’s gonna make all of your nightmares come true. ♪
Scream until Daddy stops.
I apparently need to pull my mind back up to the gutter because that just sounds so wrong.
Old fail sign, ZA. It was on an ice cream shop if I remember correctly.
Maybe he forgot to drop the kid off at the daycare dumpster.
yeah, put that screaming poop machine in it’s place!
Does that poster in the background remind anybody else of goatse?
Well, maybe the baby.
Seems kind of cruel to make fun of a guy with a vestigial twin.
However, that is a love handle you could really get a grip on.
Total Recall, Nice!
I thought Nurse Gollum would be the first reply.
Okay, settle down babywearers. I was one too when my kids were wee, taking them everywhere in slings and backpacks. This photo is just plain funny. Cute lil’ squishy thing.
I agree that it’s cute and funny, but the problem is the 100′s (1000′s?) of people who will see this on failblog, and learn that babywearing is a “parenting fail.” As seen from all the comments above, where people do believe that this child is being squashed and ignored and mistreated.
The baby in this carrier is much safer than one on a lap. Standing is an option, but nothing wrong with sitting. It’s VERY hard to lean back and squish your baby, it just doesn’t work that way!!
People aren’t laughing because it’s “cute”, they’re laughing at the perceived “dangerous babywearing idiot who forgot his baby is there”. That’s what bugs me about these photos — and we’ve seen this kind of thing here before too!
Interesting. I always found it quite easy to lean back and figured it would be easy for everyone else too.
Wait, people come HERE to learn how to raise their children.
Now that’s ‘Parenting Fail’
*gives Jack a cookie*
*boops Heather onna nose*
Assuming anyone here is doing anything but being silly and having a good time? That’s the fail!
In my city last week, a child’s jaw was dislocated when a subway-car lurched. Yup, in a backpack she was (although, as far as I can tell from the news, dad wasn’t texting).
*hangs up flags of various countries*
*drags in pillows of various sizes and floofiness*
*places pillows around perimeter of giant jacuzzi*
*tosses soccer balls around for amusement*
*sets up refreshment stands with assorted beverages and snackies*
Attention! FIFA World Cup Cuddle Puddle is open!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The Cuddle Puddle, I’ve read about this.
*Changes into trunks and grabs a Castle Lager*
Oh, you’re a new one.
May I see your ticket, please?
Oh, I left it in my coat.
Can I con in if I promise to behave?
Sorry, no con men permitted. Step aside, please.
Next!
I understand, rules are rules.
*Heads back to change room*
*kicks rock*
Well, I suppose I could issue a temporary pass, just this once.
Welcome to the Friday Cuddle Puddle! Please do not pee in the jacuzzi.
Woo Hoo, thank you Goddess you won’t regret this.
No pee, got it.
*Sits quietly on the edge of the puddle and sips beer*
Me fail English, that’s unpossible
Wait, Captain Jack Harkness = Ralph Wiggum? I knew it! It all makes sense now!
I choo choo choose… well anyone actually.
Yeah! I was starting to worry when I was seeing no sign of a cuddle puddle.
*pulls in the margarita machine from several fails back*
I’d hijack a beer truck for you folks, but it’s usually pretty damaged by the time I get it here.
Sorry, Critter, but even the Divine Goddess has to work sometime! (Damn lawyers! Don’t they know I have a Cuddle Puddle to set up for?!?!)
Well, I am at work. Only able to be on so much today, due to the boss having to leave. That just leaves me here.
But for some reason the work is not getting done.
*Slips into her red bikini. Hops in the Cuddle Puddle!*
*Splashes around*
*pirouettes up to the Cuddle Puddle*
*swan dives in*
Aaaaaah!
*dramatically throws self into pile of pillows*
*throws one at Judy*
*feathers fly*
*content sigh*
*Wiggles toes.. lays back ..sighs*
Hey!
*spits out feathers*
No fair! I wasn’t ready!
*throws pillows at Ms B – one in each hand*
*POOFS Jucy where she sits on the bus*
And poor little Billy has been terrified of small spaces and sweaty backs ever since.
Not to mention his fear and loathing of subways and commuter trains.
Welcome to New York City.
yeah making a photo instead saying something or punching him
This should be a WIN… it’s a black father spending time with his child
huuuh…
what?
he just hairy white
looks an awful lot like the Philadelphia Subway
lol i just looked at the pic and the broad street line subway came right to mind.. great minds think alike
HAHA i’m 99.9 % it is! Call DHS! hahhah
Idealists on the poster.
Why is the man black and the kid white
I could try explaining it to you, but you don’t have the braaaaiiiiinnnzzz to understand so it would be pointless.
huuuh…
what?
Give him a break. You can tell that he hasn’t worked out in a while or maybe he just gave birth. He needed to sit down. So he forgot, so what? Everyone forgets once in a while.
I forgot my failversary Sh!t
*weeps*
*throws confetti*
*squeezes k@*
No worries, I forgot mine too. For like a few weeks. We’ll celebrate today!
*orders drinkies for k@*
Giant margarita ok?
You know it is!
It was only supposed to be a small one……I really need to teach my hubby how to order at the bar better!
Woohoo!
*squeezes K@*
It’s before mine surely……
I didn’t just call you shirley I promise.
Happy belated Failiversary!
Failiversary flowers for all!
*tosses bouquets*
Happy Failiversary, K@!!
Thank you guys….I am only out by a few weeks!
Happy Failiversary K@!
My problem with this is that the person decided to take a picture rather then help the kid out.
Why do we have to censor the guy’s face?
To prevent the wife (who I hope is not the one next to him) from finding out and killing him. Why else
im pretty sure that’s the G train. i seriously wouldn’t be surprised if it was.
I’m with you 99.9% on this one. There’s only a couple other trains that look similar (thinking old Fs) but the G has lots of FAIL so my bet’s with the G.
could also be one of the F,V,N,or R trains being phased out for the new ones.
I would hope it’s the F train—F for FAIL!
BTW, it could also be on the A train.
That’s why the front carrier is better…for the prevention of baby pancake.
I support this.
Why the hell on EVERY post on this site, there’s morons like “moomin” or whoever who just post the most random BS in the world, if you want to fake *squeeze* someone or whatever the hell *snork* is, get an AIM. Seriously, you all should have been banned from the site a LONG time ago.
OMG! Did he forget the baby was back there???
Oh god. That’s not even funny.
Re-purposing baby as a lumbar support. Brilliant!
So tired of seeing things on failblog that are not fail. I come here to laugh and just get offended that the internet is saying “OMG You’re doing it wrong!” to a parent that could easily be me. Parenting is a hard enough gig without all the people who tell you you’re doing something awful to your kid. All right, the dad is clearly not sitting on his kid. Get over it. Find something real to put up.
Apparently, he’s hiding the fact that he has a child, from the dame sitting next to him.
On second thoughts, that could be a doll. Someone needs to be terribly insane to crush a baby like that..
Ouch! Is that for real?
DC metrorail FTW
That looks very painful
Poor kid
Keeping the brood warm is a full time, thankless job.
It’s sMARTA! Where my ATL peeps at?
He’s just giving the kid some love…On a bus, while texting… Sounds like just about every parent i know 8D
Should have a slogan on this one “We ghetto folk, don’t have no book learn’in in the heads we thinks with”… It’s no fail, but a sad picture of reality in the ghetto.. bless those black people, they’ll never have the intelligence to be free.
