» 148 Failures in Communication

  1. Alex says:

    promoting gay love fail.

  2. zcxswqa says:

    2nd

  3. granny says:

    It contained plastic, chicken, beer and ecstasy :) (apparently all contain synthetic estrogen)

  4. satsumo says:

    I think this is quite a good idea. Especially if your enemy has a culture with a very repressive attitude to homosexuality. I bet the only reason they didn’t build it was homophobia. You can see the thinking, shooting people is OK, making them gay is not.

    • Merowl says:

      Making them gay is hot!

    • ~M~ says:

      Or maybe they just realized it wouldn’t work? Also a possibility. Of course, seems unlikely that it wouldn’t work, considering the vast amount of effective aphrodisiacs already in existence, like… uh…. Love potion number 9? And aphrodisiacs are also known to make you flaming gay, not just horny. Yup, that’s where gay people come from! They aren’t born that way, nope, they accidentally come into contact with an aphrodisiac and WHAM! another gay man or woman

  5. Smigas says:

    This remember something like make love not warcraft…
    U only can make one thing at the time..XD

  6. Paro says:

    Sounds a lot like a joke from 30 Rock.

  7. Bob says:

    Why is this a fail? Its real

  8. A says:

    Using such a weapon would be a war crime. It’s sexual abuse.
    Forcing someone to engage in sexual intercourse by using drugs or any substance is abuse. Date rape drug anyone?

    • B says:

      Overthinking Fail

      • dannifoley says:

        True, and they’re not forcing it.

        • Geisha_Girl says:

          Everyone seems to have missed in the story that they specify that it would be used on the ENEMY in order to get them to stop shooting at US, not come on to our soldiers. They would probably be so confused by it they would wander off in a blissful haze. They’re not forcing sexual activity, they’re overriding violent impulses in the brains of soldiers taught to kill no matter what.

          It’s certainly better than using ultra-low frequency sound waves to disperse a crowd like they used in the 70′s. Which would you rather live through, a love bomb or a sound that you can’t hear which simultaneously makes you crippled with headache pain, vomit and $hit your pants, all while you’re trying to run away?

          • Arthur Eld says:

            War crimes are always things done to an enemy, never to own forces. Just saying.

          • F says:

            I’d go through neither, thank you. What, so just because something bad was done somewhere sometime then it’s ok to do other bad stuff now? Either I completely misunderstand your argument, or it’s really the most illogical argument I’ve ever heard.

            And yes, that “gay bomb” would be forcing sexual activity. That’s the whole point of it in fact.
            And I do say “forcing” because “consent” resulting from the ingestion of any substance isn’t consent. As it was mentioned above, some drugs are used by rapists to make women “consent” to sex, yet it is still considered rape.

            Has anyone of you thought of what you would think of a “gay bomb” if it was used against yoursel or your troops?

            Actually, forget it. Americans as a whole are too self-centered to care about people from other countries and they have this “the ends justify the means” philosophy that makes them completely miss what’s wrong in their actions.

            Just so you know, in this day and age all developed democratic countries are trying to figure out how to get along best. It’s not always easy and there are conflicts sometimes, but at least the objective is honorable.
            The USA, in contrast and just like most third-world countries, including all non-democracies of this planet, still believes there’s a competition between all countries and is trying to get ahead of everyone else, even if that means f-ing up everyone else to get there. Time to grow up kids.

            • satsumo says:

              It’s not forcing the activity though, it induces a compulsion toward that behaviour. The bomb is not going to position one jihadist behind another, removes there clothes and make pumping motions.

              From what I understand, date rape drugs are sedatives with an effect on short term memory. The victim does not consent to anything, they are unable to object.

              The notion of consent isn’t absolute. If a woman chooses to get drunk beyond sense, picks up some guy and has sex with him, is that consent? What if she gives consent then falls asleep in the middle of the act (she’s really very drunk).

              • Matt says:

                Ah, so following your logic…
                If I invent a drug that makes people want to kill themselves, and the drug is 100% effective. I can then run around slipping it into peoples drinks etc and then stand back and watch.
                And by your logic, I’ll be completely innocent of any wrong doing.
                Because I didn’t kill them, they killed themselves.

                I bet if Iran was developing a “gay bomb” you’d be calling it unethical.

          • Michelle says:

            First of all, The ultra low frequency sounds waves as weapons/crowd control have never been proven, and no one has managed to duplicate the supposed effects.

            Second, any aphrodisiac strong enough to overide the training, and the emotions of a soldier on the battlefield, and cause them to be sexually attracted to the nearest person, regardless of previous orentation, would not cause them to “wander off in a blissful haze”. In fact, considering how adrenline charged they would be, and the hormones in the bloodstream of people in combat, they very likely would react violently to any rebuff of their sexual advances.

      • dghffdg says:

        Sarcasm detection fail.

    • Aaron Hong says:

      History and laws are written by the winners, yknow.

    • robert ot says:

      ill take two boxes please!

  9. tyberius says:

    Gay bomb gay bomb
    You’re my gay bomb
    You can give it to me when I need to come along
    Gay bomb gay bomb
    You’re my gay bomb
    And baby you can turn me on

  10. Tamir says:

    30 Rock WIN

  11. WiseAss says:

    Everybody would fight with a boner.

  12. Dusk says:

    and on the bed. not the floor

  13. Men Style says:

    gays will like this bomb :)

  14. Scarethem says:

    This is true so shouldnt be fail. Failblog fail.

    • Cait says:

      I think the fail refers to the sheer stupidity of the concept, not whether it existed. Gay bomb? Seriously? I was watching that episode of Modern Marvels and could hardly believe it.

      • murky says:

        I know, right? There is so much backfire potential here. 1: IF it works, how do you deploy it without contamination? 2: Who is to say the enemy won’t just go on a raping spree in the nearest village, then turn on you?

  15. ArtificialX says:

    Is failblog losing the plot on what a fail is?

  16. Failfan says:

    Failed! or did it?

  17. torchrain says:

    I miss napalm.

  18. Stik says:

    Dude, this is known for quite some time now. Guess the biggest fail is the US government in this.
    If you enjoy this you should read what the CIA tried to whack Castro!

    • timemaker says:

      biggest fail in the US government…..? mmmm nope! remenber Bush? creepy old guy, mellon for a head, about this tall….

  19. shin0bi272 says:

    Hey it’s the history channel… doesnt have to be accurate history or politically correct history.

  20. Elle says:

    Making a ‘gay bomb’, attempting to somehow encourage the enemy to engage in sex within its ranks, is seriously fail. The overall concept minus the stupid isn’t necessarily a bad one. In certain cultures, including at least one we have a propensity to war with, having an erection is not welcomed. It’s not necessary to drop chemicals on them and hope for sex. Drop anything that will cause natural arousal and they’ll be distracted.

    Bomb them with Playboys and Hustlers. Mission accomplished.

  21. Is failblog losing the plot on what a fail is?

    • Kylamity says:

      Nope. Seems to me they are still hitting all the right notes with failing. I’m confused why you contend this information is a fail seeing as a lot of the posted material is something “real” in time and space.

  22. Gustav says:

    Gives new meaning to the term “Friendly Fire”

  23. Ashley says:

    Umm… is the History channel starting to confuse actual history with plotlines from 30 Rock?

  24. Divine Goddess of the Cuddle Puddle says:

    However, the plan was halted when they could not get the U.S. Military scientists to halt experimenting on each other.

    • TehAwesumOne says:

      Indeed, there were too many crappy “Is that a test tube in my pocket or am I just happy to see you” lines

  25. Hoss says:

    I think I remember reading about this. As I recall, it backfired though. They named it “Project: Twilight.”

  26. Kevin says:

    “Make love, not success”.

  27. Moose says:

    That is nothing short of a win guys.

  28. Barboron says:

    Stupid americans fail yet again! It was a Love Bomb not a Gay Bomb, too busy being paranoid and jumping to conclusions that they are trying to be made gay. Still funny though

  29. This picture is FTW !

  30. Hypodermic says:

    Hah, well, how ridiculous the US army is, they actually might have tried this :D

  31. Jesus Christ, the Son of God says:

    Oh my dad. If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed the ultimate Truth or Dare.

  32. WoZZy - Marius's stalker says:

    some reckoned aids started in vietnam because some of the U.S soldiers turned gay so they made a disease to kill the homosexuals,

  33. The Wise Man says:

    If they promote a bomb “to make love, not war” isn’t this a Flower Power WIN?

  34. HedShawt says:

    Hahaha, i saw this when it was on tv. i literally rofled off of my couch.

  35. dghffdg says:

    Pity, this might have achieved world peace.

  36. Paper Mice says:

    So amazing, Paper Mice wrote a song about it:
    http://www.myspace.com/papermice

    Click on “WMG”

  37. Carney says:

    a different approach from naplam

  38. Tac says:

    They accidentally dropped it in San Francisco.

    • tyberius says:

      Actually, that was the Navy. I think it was during WW2 when they started dishonourably discharging gay sailors from their ranks. Most of these discharges were processed in the San Francisco naval bases. And since kids from rural America couldn’t very well go home with THAT on their record (plus, the way I see it, gay people naturally gravitate towards larger cities), many of them stayed. So yeah, the Navy practically dropped a G-bomb on San Francisco.

  39. TomStoppardt says:

    Sounds delightful.

  40. JoseGuimaraes says:

    This is actually true.
    However, UN didn’t approved the use of the Gay Bomb as a war weapon.
    You can read it (if it is findable). I remember to read it in a newspaper.

  41. Erik says:

    Now I’m angry at myself I saw that on tv like a year ago and I never thought of submitting it.

  42. CodyDawson says:

    I remember seeing this exact episode! However, what else are you going to think of when trying to design a non-lethal weapon? This isn’t really a fail…

  43. hexapyro says:

    Modern Marvel never lies.

  44. Anasazi Darkmoon says:

    I’m sad now, because my brain went straight to the original definition of gay, meaning “Happy go Lucky”, instead of homosexuality.

    • satsumo says:

      I like that better. I really can’t see that an aphrodisiac bomb would turn people gay anyway. Might be a few distressed camels though.

  45. d4m4s74 says:

    So that’s why they called that bomb the enola gay

  46. Huey says:

    Sounds pretty funny. It would really mess up the enemy’s army.

  47. Le says:

    Everybody started having sex
    the aphrodisiacs were way to powerful
    a bunch of old soldiers f*cikng like rabbits
    it was disgusting to say the least ooooh!
    a gay bomb can change the world
    you gotta know your limits with the gay bomb
    this was a cautionary tale
    the gay bomb it’s not a toy

  48. Russki says:

    And the americans says that We (the Russians) are weirdos…

  49. KayboSasuke says:

    WHY THE HELL NOT!?!?!?!?!?!? I would LOVE to be in such a war

  50. LOL-Cal says:

    This was the natural evolution from gaydar technology.

  51. stix213 says:

    I thought everyone already heard about this, like a million times.

    Next someone will make a post about the aircraft carrier that was going to be made out of ice

  52. Aaron Hong says:

    Not exactly new news – not only is it on Wiki somewhere, but Axis Powers Hetalia has a reference to it

  53. Howdy says:

    Tax dollars a work fail.

  54. Phoenix says:

    And this is yet another shining example of why the US hasn’t properly finished a war since Nagasaki was turned into a radioactive crater. You win wars by killing the enemy until they cannot fight anymore. You bomb them back to the stone age and fill them with so much lead they could be made into pencils and used to educate the entire third world three times over! THAT is how you fight a war, ladies. If you are not willing to achieve total victory in the shortest amount of time possible you do NOT belong on the battlefield!

  55. Oliver says:

    I’ve read about the gay bomb, but the intent wasn’t to promote love instead of war. The intent was to demoralize and confuse the enemy while our troops continued the assault.

  56. Peter says:

    Pretty sure that’s from 30 Rock

  57. yushe101 says:

    gay also means happy -_-’ ya’ll are smart

  58. poindexte|2 says:

    lol, i remeber seeing this on TV!

  59. dw says:

    What we really need is a hate-seeking missile.

  60. Your Death Date dd/mm/yyyy says:

    i was always amazed by those Marvel facts until now

  61. Steve says:

    This is actually an interesting idea. It would totally disrupt the order and cohesiveness of the enemy troops while (hopefully) not killing anyone. I bet it would still be considered chemical warfare by the UN anyway. But I, for one, fail to see how this is more immoral than shooting your enemy in the head with a rifle.

    Can you imagine what would happen if we used this on the Taliban. LOL!

  62. C says:

    & Thus Lady Gaga was born.

  63. C10OUT says:

    frankly i was watching this episode of modern marvles and i actually think this thing mgt work it seems like a genious idea

  64. N. Ranger says:

    The word ‘Gay’ means Happy. Using it as a homosexual reference is a ‘slang term’ Just like the N-Bomb means Ignorant and was turned in to a duragitory term because of its overuse.
