    • K@ the Custard fairy holder of license to sell intoxicating liquor on or off the premises says:

      No, work does a really really good job at stopping all that nosensical rubbish!

  10. AMV_Ph34r says:

    I knew the government’s been hiding new technology from us, but clickable newspaper? I never thought such a thing would exist! It’s like the iPad, but foldable!

  11. ¡Great Scott! Me transmitte sursum, caledoni ▲Caution slow posts▲ says:

    Yet the newspaper industry wonders why it’s failing.

  12. justinr666 says:

    this is what happens when newspapers just copy and paste articles they find on the internet.. this is probably from the ford website its self?

    • says:

      Yep, great writing there. Too bad it wasn’t by the writer.

      It’d be one thing if they wrote an online version for their site first, then copied that, but I somehow doubt this.

  13. Drakezilla says:

    Thats wierd… im clicking it, but it doesn’t do anything! xD

  14. bob says:

    error 404: site not found

  15. Mighty Mush says:

    This editor has been known to make mistakes, periodically.

  16. Amogh Gudi says:

    Ctrl+A
    Ctrl+C
    Ctrl+V

    *squeeze*

  17. just some guy says:

    Seems like a spellingchecker fail to me.

  18. Seems like a spellingchecker fail to me.

  19. Leila™ says:

    GRRRRRRR!!!!
    I hate Access DB!!!!!

  20. JoeyG says:

    That’s what the thumb is for … opposable thumbs can click quite nicely I have heard from humans ….

  21. SOE says:

    Stupid people. Never seen an hyperlink? You must press on it. It should change color when you pass your finger over it, meaning that it is a link. Pressing on it will bring you to a new page.

  22. Klebson says:

    That happens a lot here in Brazil… they read the title, copy the article and paste without changing anything… where’s the editor? That’s his fault!

  23. Drew says:

    Epic fail. One of the best I’ve came across. Just because I’m techie and know how to find the source of the article here it is too:

    http://www.cars.com/ford/fiesta/2011/reviews/?revid=56160

  24. mszegedy says:

    Copypasta, too much?

  25. Kekoa says:

    Haha… No wonder the Honolulu Advertiser was bought out.

  26. luiz fabiano says:

    ctrl v ctrl c…

  27. Amogh Gudi says:

    I’m sorry I just wanted to be a part of whatever was going on

    *squeeze?*

  28. Johns.. says:

    That’s frigging hilarious!

  29. holmes says:

    That’s the Honolulu Advertiser… no wonder they just went out of business.

  30. UltraStrrrange says:

    Can’t. get. over…dirty fingernail with ginormous cuticle!

  31. patrick says:

    copy and paste skills win!

  32. Ryukenden says:

    Broken link, nothing happens :(

  33. J-9 says:

    The sad thing is that it’s the Honolulu Advertiser… I read it every week.

  34. Abigail says:

    Well someone copied and pasted that article right off of the web! lol!

  35. Yugan says:

    yeah, click where? What happened to the Probably Bad News site?

  36. zach says:

    lol haha COPY PASTE

  37. Hoss says:

    This isn’t a fail at all. You see, this article is just taunting the newspaper industry as a precursor of its downfall and the uprising of electronic media. Quite the win indeed.

  38. David says:

    Wow, the #fail is clearly because an article was written for the web. Doesn’t that count for something? Or do we just bash so-called old-media no matter what?

    In this case, any newspaper bashing should be about about poor copy-editing not because this particular paper doesn’t get it.

    We must be nearing God-like perfection if no one here ever made, in zach’s words a “COPY PASTE” mistake.

  39. yoda says:

    I’ll take a Fiesta hatchback with manual transmission, thanks.

    But wouldn’t readers of the print edition prefer a Grand Marquis? Driven at 15 MPH below the speed limit in the left lane with the right blinker on for miles at a time? Or maybe it’s time to give up the ol’ license and hop on the Seniors Shopping Shuttle…

  40. brent says:

    ill take the hatchback too

  41. lberkeley says:

    This is more of an advertiser fail but a newspaper win. The newspaper probably charged by the letter lol.

  42. passer says:

    copy from internet?!

  43. splatyango says:

    The ironic thing was that when I went to this picture, my cursor was on that line…

  44. Djolbars says:

    maybe it electronic newspaper from future ? :-D

  45. weirdlounge says:

    404 link not found =(

  46. Thoy THEORY says:

    Obviously COPY PASTE .. WHAT A LAZY PERSON ,. FORGOT TO CHECK ON WHATS COPIED

  47. FAIL-IEN says:

    It’s from the Friday edition from about a month ago. Trust me, I live there and I would know because that paper no longer exists. I think it was a review for the “Hey-urn-dee” Santa Fe. Which would mean that this was the final weekday version of that paper.

  48. Aaron says:

    Obviously the newspaper is going out of business, so it felt lonely, hence, trying to be more advanced.

    Derp.

  49. Toshey says:

    IT TOOK ME A GOD DAMN HOUR TO READ ALL THE COMMENTS and hour well spent =]

  50. It’s the Ford Fiesta one
