Enjoying this quality posting?
Could’ve been worse, Siguy — he could’ve said “*****” or “Did he ***?”
Count your blessings.
Some towns are discussing banning McDonalds toys while one of our school systems wants to give condoms to elementary school kids.
well, they gotta get their water balloon material somewhere…
seriously, though, you either completely misunderstood their intentions or you are a really terrible troll.
The truth is that, probably, their parents do need them.
Yes I can verify that their mum definetly needds condoms
WHEN WERE CONDOMS USED IN THE LAST AIRBENDER!!!??? (O_O).
Ever seen Aang sleep at the North Pole? And wait a second…where are Katara and Sokka?
o.O’
the bad part about it is second graders who dont get boners are askin for condoms!!!!!
Would you rather have twelve year olds pregnant because they didn’t know sex made babies?
Would you rather have 12 year old having sex because their school tells them how to do it?
If school tells them *how*, and not just tells them *to*, then that will never happen. We has sex ed classes at 11.
No teenage pregnancies in our year.
just be glad you weren’t homeschooled then you have to have some lonely (but sexy) chick “explain” it to you in college. Hey actually that’s not a bad way of doing things!
Thanks mom and dad for home school Hell yeah!
sadly, i cant say the same, happened to a classmate, last time i talked to him and hiis…significant other, they said our health class teacher told them to. i still think that its complete b*!@#^&$ to lay the blame on the teach, but hey, while hes paying college funds for a kid, ill be patchin folks up and savin lives (i hope)
hi
Children know how to have sex. They see it on TV, they hear older friends and siblings discuss it, it is all around them. As much as we wish they didn’t, children know about it. The problem is that they only hear the good things about it, how it is fun or might make them popular. It is important that we adults teach them the downsides, along with ways to help them protect themselves against pregnancy and disease. Many children will have sex no matter what; all we can do is give them the tools to make their choices about sex a little safer.
Abstinence only education doesn’t work and any of the conservatives that believe that should look to their own idol Sarah Palin. Her daughter shows how well not teaching kids about safe sex works. And for those that say second graders don’t get boners- uh, obviously you weren’t taught sh-t because even babies in utero get erections. I don’t *want* my kids to have sex. But if they do, I hope like hell they use protection. As for the happy meals, lol! And hey, maybe that’s a great idea to deter parents from feeding their kids that garbage that shouldn’t even be allowed to be called FOOD. McD’s is nasty and you shouldn’t be feeding your kids that sh-t anyway.
… when I was twelve, I knew how to have sex, plenty well. So did just about all my age-peer friends, male and female alike.
Ignorance – especially IMAGINARY ignorance – is never a protection.
twelve year old no get boners!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had my first boner when I was 10. . .
You keep track? O.o
Leave the poor person alone man. Mart is just enjoying the picture. Quit treating him like a newb.
This is from a fake news site. Jesus its funny if its true but still not funny when you realize some jack*ss just made it all up and they it just get reposted all over the place
“unfortunately most of the workers do not read English”……Speaks volumes, doesn’t it?
Yeah, those wacky illiterate Latinos!
Wait, wait, ‘most of the workers can’t read English?’ I’m confused, does that mean the Happy Meals themselves are assembled in Mexico? ‘Course, that might actually explain alot about the quality of the food at McDonald’s but, huh?
I hope they were used anyway. Oh, I mean “enjoyed.”
What a clown.
*pulls-up to Jules in tiny car*
*opens door*
*300,000 condoms spill out*

Great my weekly supply is here. Thanks
Up 2: The Sequel… I can just visualize the promotionals for that one.
“Sponsored by your local McDonald’s – I’m lovin’ it!”
New mascot: McLovin!
*snork*
Love that movie…”I am McLovin’…”
“A Hawaiian Organ Donor”
♪It’s a good time for the great taste…of McDonald’s!! ♪
“it’s what we’re made of”
Look mommy!!! Finger condoms to protect my widdle fingers from all the nasty grease!
LOL you’re a funny lady!
These people will never come back to McDonald again. Ever.
That oughtta do their hearts some good anyway…
And arteries, and waistlines, and blood pressure!
At least they avoid THE talk.
Too bad the article’s a fake.
Well, I could believe the condoms beeing mistaken for baloons or something, but the toys being handed out is a bit much.
*rubber-necks*
pre-packed squid rings!
Those are certainly not amateurphylactics, are they. Been off the nets lately. Miss anything good, LGB?
AWwwwwwww, man! Ety was here and I missed him!
*walks away kicking rocks*
When the school systems stop teaching our children about safe sex, McDonald’s felt the need to step in.
Was there a cover-up?
…a reservoir-tipped cover up?
Am I being ribbed?
It depends. Are you the ultra thin Marius? If so, then I’d say “Yes.” Did I miss any good action lately? It's too tough to keep up with the posts anymore.
Well, he is here for your pleasure!
What a refreshing change.
I think I’m a natural Marius.
I am in the same boat as you. I’m only on here in spurts, so you didn’t miss anything from me.
I noticed the less/greater-than didn’t affect my font anymore. Do you know if this is a chronic performance issue these days?
Hey, give Bloggy a break. He’s under a lot of pressure lately.
Etym D is back….with performance issues?
Looks like I got subscriptions today, babe.
You’re kidding?
hi
how are u doing
This is a fake story to make fun of the fact that here in MA, some towns are discussing banning McDonalds toys while one of our school systems wants to give condoms to elementary school kids. That makes this story a comedy win.
Failblog fail.
*facepalm*
*headdesk*
Having worked at Mickey D’s for years (in the past), and knowing their distribution mechanics, . . . I could tell this was a fake story right away.
So it isn’t just from their new line of Happy Ending Meals?
“happy ending meals”
=comment win!
agreed! comment win!
Yeah, as soon as I read the paragraph about a pack of 8 year olds blowing them up as balloons and batting them around the restaurant I knew there’s no way this article is real.
Funny, sure. But maybe Failblog can just start posting Onion articles as the real thing, add the watermark and label it “probably bad news”.
Totally. This story has several elements flagging it as fake:
-Condom/McDonald’s toy confusion related to current politically charged issues in the area
-Anti-Hispanic bias in the assertion that the condoms were put in Happy Meals because Spanish-speaking workers didn’t realize what they were (what, is speaking Spanish supposed to make you retarded?)–also relating to current, politically charged issues
-If you check local news websites for Brewster, Mass., there is no mention of this story, which would’ve been big local news
Yeah and also why would some one mistake a toy for a condom, “can i have a jhonny please miss?” “yes oh heres some shaped like a little bald kid”
YOU’RE a fake story! So there! jk! Yeah, it seemed kinda fishy to me when I read the balloons part. Plus, it’s listed in the entertainment section.
oh snap!
wow…just…wow
Um I think that the Happy Meal toys come separate from the actual meals. Unless they’re giving out raw burgers and frozen fries to children to cook at home these days, or possibly even eat raw, “Lunchables” style.
However this does also seem to imply that the same people who make those cheap plastic McDonalds toys (you know, the ones that always break all the time?) also make condoms for children. Oh the horrors.
This is a lie. There is no McDonald’s in Provincetown, MA.
Fact check your funnies!
The article does not state there is a McDonalds in Provincetown, MA. Fact check your posting!
Well, there’s no McDonald’s in Brewster either as the article does claim.
(S)he said right off the bat “This is a lie.”, J. How ya been?
Just Divine, dahling!
Mickey D’s accidenty the rubber?
It happens to everybody once in a while.
They couldn’t conceive that they would have distribution issues.
*pregnant pause*
Well, that’s a problem.
They need to take extra precautions, period. . . end of conversation.
Oh, baby! What a mess!
I think a planed solution will take months to gestate.
It’s still in the embryonic stage.
What are they trying to fetus, anyway…?
The rabbit… did he die?
*Snickers*
Do they really expect this idea to bear fruit?
It’d probably be quicker to just sand it down, anyway.
No wire hangers!
Well, what’s gotten in your Craw(ford)???
Well, I’m out until the next blue moon. I just had a Joan to check in on y’all. ‘Bye.
Good night, good luck, goodbye.
What’s “a Joan” and do I really want to know?
I was trying for a new pun run off Suzie’s comment. Told you I was off today.
Rubber? I don’t even know ‘er!
*flees*
*Collars*
What da ya want for nothing? A rubber biscuit?
If it don’t bounce back, you go hungry.
bow bow bow
the other day i had a wish sandwich, a wish sandwich is the kinda sanwich with two slices of bread and wish you had some meat
We call that a jam sandwich. Take two pieces of bread and jam them together.
*Dons hat and dark sunglasses*
*Hydes*
You guys get bread?!?!?
Like rabbits.
Lucky. I have to have my sandwich with a piece of paper.
The opposite is called a hand sandwich. Just some.. uh.. meat in your hand.
*squeeze*
They must have gotten those mixed up with the ones that were supposed to go to their chain of grown-up themed restaurants — the Happy Ending Meal.
*applauds*
*whistles*
Taking Happy Meal to a whole new level.
what a fail. This is from theonion.
Did you find a link on theonion? Far as I can tell it originated from a site called crystalair.
Yep, crystalair.com.
“Meanwhile, the producers of The Last Airbender have issued a formal thank you to the Post Office, McDonald’s and the Provincetown School System for “doing something that might actually get somebody to notice our lame movie.”
ROFL
Ribbed Latex is actually a cool name.
Those were for the Mr. Happy meals.
This really isn’t a news fail, as the paper didn’t do anything wrong… absolutely hilarious, though.
This *is* a fail. There is no “paper” that reported this. It’s a FAKE news story.
Actually, this was reported multiple times over. The Mexican newspaper El Universal Mexico ran the story, and the Los Angeles TV station Univision (channel 34) also ran it – both of them as truth. El Universal even “quoted” CAP News.
Check your sources, anyone?
Even if it were real, the news fails usually aren’t a fail on the newspapers’ part -_-
sauce?
Not just sauce, special sauce!
I’ll show you special sauce.
Wait, wha?
But where’s the cheese?
well, if you’re into that kind of thing….. I’m sure there’s a website somewhere for you…………
Totally fake but totally funny! Best part? Teenage boy goes to nurse for Condom and gets an Airbender toy! “Here kid put a Aang on your Wang!”
Though I guess in M. Night Shama-llama’s case it’d be “Here kid put an *Ong* and your wang”
*on, god damnit
Nah we would say “Put an Oong on your Wong”
…or a Sokka on your…
No, I won’t say it.
pokka??!
*Cough cokka *cough
FailBlog Fail – this article is fake.
*pours shots*
*drinks one*
OMG! I made the FAIL BLOG…double Smooches..I’ve arrived.
No Airbender toy, no love!
You deserve a break today.
*Squeeze*
I’m lovin’ it!
*squeeze*
Yet another Failblog Fail!!
I know, if I were you I would never come back here again…that would teach them!
Someone set up a joke.
And then they spiked it.
Coming this fall to a cinema near you.
Ribbed Latex and Crunch Buttstick are cops on the edge, in “Police Justice”.
Hahaha I wonder who will be the first start producing “Airbender” named condoms
Improvisation Win.
Fake.
Not funny anymore so.
Limmoncello in pretty colored shot glasses! Who wants some?
Yes, please and thank you!
Last Air Banger?
Where in the food pyramid do condoms fit? Grains? No. Protein? Blech! Where????
They cover it snugly starting from the tip and rolling down to the base.
:blush:
If I remember correctly.
:embarrass: ?
( oops )
Try ‘oops’ with the colons.
Don’t accidenty the colons.
Thanks, by the way, D!
Welcome!
I have the rest of the codes if you want them.
I’d say “jinx” but I don’t want to be stuck with an oops in my colon the rest of the day.
*squeeze*
I agree. Colon oopses are not to be taken lightly.
*is tempted to yell it out*
*squeeeeeeeeeeze*
I wonder if it would taste like the rainbow.
DO. NOT. WANT!
I prefer carrots. Wait. Scratch that. I will just stick with …
At the same place as all of McBarf’s food. McBarf doesn’t want kids to eat healthy, even when doing BJs… way too much proteins!
I think they did that on purpose but i think the kids had no idea what they where used for but funny story.
they thought they were balloons LOL
Please tell me this is from the Onion or something.
I can understand non-English speakers in a packaging or shipping facility not catching the error, but the school nurses should have figured out the difference between a condom and a TOY.
Sure, because non-English-speakers all have such low IQs that they can’t tell the difference between toys and condoms. Those wacky Latinos!
omg i can just imagine the convo “ribed condon?” “no es ok es from movee es ok” lmao and then a the school how stupid you have to be “hey that looks like a toy” “no no thats the new way they dispense these things” LMAO
Not form the Onion. Fail on the commenters for not searching the Onion for the story.
ROFL! EPIC MEGA FAIL!
I love it where they say ‘they immediatly blew them up and batted them around the restraunt’
well that makes sense… the Last Airbender movie blows, so, may as well be safe, right?
Look at the category in which the article falls under, “Entertainment”, which means it is fake and for entertainment. You all are idiots and extremely gullible for thinking this is real.
*pours shots of Bacardi*
We’re going to need something stiffer, ladies and gentlemen.
It’s hard to think what might work better.
I remember reading this article. I’m pretty sure the article, and the whole website, is a fake news / joke site, like the Register can be sometimes.
Cake dot com?
Somebody tell me where that school is. I gotta go there. Free Condoms!!!!
safe sex win!
Uh, right….
Ever been to Barnstable Mass?
Ok, the accent is kind of thick there, but it’s not exactly a hotbed of non-English speaking workers.
that’s why called ‘happy’ meals
Fake. Another case of Failblog thinking an Onion or Onion-ish story is real. Fail.
What happens if Failblog fails itself too many times? Does it open a wormhole or something?
I totally agree…I dont come here to read The Onion Lite. It is annoying when they post obviously fake stories.
just like sitcoms on TV aren’t as funny when you realize they’re just actors?
I call fake.
Do you know why it’s a believable story? Because the idea that Mexican workers have no idea what a condom looks like is beyond believable. Have you seen how big their families are?
Fake
Never happened. There’s no McDonalds in Brewster, they don’t even have a freaking traffic light
“The mistake led to an incident in a Brewster, Mass., McDonald’s, where more than a dozen 8-year-olds attending a birthday party all opened their condoms at once, and immediately blew them into balloons and started batting them around the restaurant.”
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA!!!
Ribbed? Really? For the School System?
that’s one b*&^%!’n school system
This is hilarious, but fake. McDonald’s employees can read English, at least at an elementary level, and ought to know the difference between a condom and a happy meal toy. Condoms are difficult to blow up and would take more lung-power than an 8 year old would have, plus they are difficult to tie off, since they aren’t made for that. And where was parental supervision during all of this? Did the children pull this party off all by themselves? Failblog ought to check its sources better. Failblog Fail.
I’m lovin’ it!
Giving condoms to kids of all ages? Wow. Liberal nutcases in Provincetown…
Bonus Fail:
Most of the workers don’t read English and assumed that “Ribbed Latex” was a character in the film?
They don’t read English is Massachusetts??
This was a satirical article.. it’s fake.
Now THAT was the awesome fail I’ve been waiting to see! Thank you, FAIL Blog!
biggest. fail. ever.
Aye, clearly a fake, but… Why do I immediately think of one of the comments by the Cinema Snob, about how one girl’s hair looked from behind…?
Would have been almost believable if they had left off the part about giving the toys to the kids at school, I think the nurse would notice that toys aren’t condoms.
Dod you get Howard Cruse’s permission for the appropriation of that image?
Sounds fake.
Went and saw full article online, after reading it’s an obvious fake
That’s what happens when you hire employees that don’t speak english. How many times will this have to happen before we make speaking english a requirement?
You really don’t have any idea what you’re talking about, do you?
What makes this really funny is that the condoms were meant to be in PROVINCETOWN!
I’m surprised the movie didn’t have a character named Ribbed Latex cause they totally f’ed it up.
mccondom
I hope someday someone make a movie with “Ribbed Latex” as a superhero
LOLOLOL DOUBLE FAIL.
wth would a school diustrict be giving out condems!?!?!?!?
Let everybody panic now.
Actually the eight year olds are probably still as innocent as before as to the true intended purpose of their “balloons”.
WIN!!
Thats a “hapy meal´´ for me
I’m not he “fake” type. But this is completely made up. I live near P-Town and this never happened. For one thing, 5000 condoms? There aren’t even 100-200 kids in the entire public school system. They just closed the high school because the year round population is so small they don’t have but a half dozen students next year in 9 – 12. If you actually read the entire “article” above, the last sentence says it all. That some of the kids got toys instead and were looking for condoms?
That being said, its still pretty funny
Well, it probably was better than anything having to do with The Last Airbender movie. Seriously, look up the Earthbending Prisoners scene on YouTube. I can honestly say that I haven’t seen acting so bad since 1997′s Pocket Ninjas.
How do you fail that badly
Living near where this “story” took place, there’s one thing that stands out that lets you know this story is fake: P-Town, where they supposedly were going to send the condoms, is locally notorious for having a lot of gay people. Considering that there was just a big heated story IRL about condoms in schools in MA, it makes for a good inside joke if you live in MA, but I can see how somebody who doesn’t live there wouldn’t know about that, and would think it could be real.
Some of that seems a little bit farfetched. The school nurse actually gave the kids McDonalds toys thinking they were condoms? Heh?
this is why im pro “made in america” when it comes to stuff sold here.
but at least it wasn’t lead.
Funny, but it never happened. This is from a humor piece from he CAP News satire site. http://www.crystalair.com/story.php?id=201006011
“unfortunately most of the workers do not read English”
Nice, real nice.
McCondoms. Not lovin’ it.
it’s fake. why do they keep putting up fake articles?
Thats just the way McDonalds fights the white plague. we need more babies anyway.
At least they’re spreading a better message than abstinence.
What kind of school would be buying 5000 McDonalds meals anyway? Don’t they have proper food in Provincetown?
I don’t think that condoms are bad for Kids. In some way they will get in contact with sex, and then it might be good, if they know how to use Condoms or just know how to use them.
a happy meal with a happy ending!
There’s a reason it’s called a happy meal.
I also disagree with the school giving them out. But really the only way to fix the problems with our kids is for our country to stop being so sex-obsessed. Kids wouldn’t rush out to do it if the media and everything they see wasn’t inundated with sex.
haha happy [ending] meal
I’m pretty sure this thing is a complete hoax. If it were true, it would have been on TV or written up in newspapers.
This is most likely fake. I can’t find any reliable source about this actually happening. :/
This is from CAP News, its a fake news website lke the Onion.
uttwim#gmail.com
better than a “The last airbender” movie toy is all im sayin
Hey, either way it’s a “happy” meal, I don’t see the problem. LOL *Sarcasm*
If you read the article you can see that it says, “The packages were so bright and colorful that they were mistaken for small toys for Happy Meals, but unfortunately most of the workers do not read English, and thought ‘Ribbed Latex’ was a character in the movie,”. Notice that the author said, “But unfortunately most of the workers do not read English.”, heh, McDonald’s, smooth…
Crazy how it just so happens to be the ONE town ALL over the news a week or two ago for promoting their availabilitiy of condoms to little tykes (aka elementary students) that has a delivery mistake. Honestly, I don’t care if the workers ‘do not read English’ or do any person over the age of 17 knows a condom when they see/hold one, likewise a registered NURSE at a school would recognize the difference between a toy and a condom before handing either out to a student (bright colored or not). Let’s get for real, as funny as the article may be, it’s a load of crap. MYTH.
This web page look really hard
Fortunately,
I am not color blindness
this is definitely a big ol’ pileup at the crossroads of hilarious with terribly wrong
good thing i didnt get a happy meal when this happened, i live in mass, but not near this place
That was actually wise. Those kids need serious protection against that movie.
This happened in America too?
So far I’ve only seen it in Europe.
Haha that was nooo mistake.
Making condoms available for all ages??? o.O
This is not from The Onion. It is from Crystal Air Productions, http://www.crystalair.com/index.php “ALL MATERIAL IS SATIRE AND ©2005-2010 BY CRYSTAL AIR PRODUCTIONS”. The original link is http://www.crystalair.com/story.php?id=201006011 .
Yeah… I know it’s been said already, but this is very, very fake. I live here, it would have been a big deal, it’s a politically charged situation, plus the same story is on satirical news websites all over. Definitely fake.
uh…does anyone else but me know that Provincetown, Massachusetts is a notorious homosexual town? No seriously, it is XD
I’d rather have a condom than watching the last airbender…
Why is Fail Blog calling a satire piece a “Fail”? That’s just dumb. It’s clear by 2nd paragraph that it’s not real. Seriously. I think the “FAIL” here is by whoever posted this! Although I’ve seen it posted a couple other places with people commenting on “this is what you get for hiring non-Americans.” There is a FAIL…being so dumb and right-wing blinded you can’t tell the difference between satire and reality…and taking the satire seriously. Says it all about right-wing intelligence.
This is satire- check the news article! (http://www.opposingviews.com/i/mcdonald-s-accidentally-puts-condoms-in-happy-meals)
Do a little research first, Failblog. FAIL
Do you already have ribbed latex?
You think mixups like these are ACCIDENTS? No, sir, someone with minimum wage and no chance of a raise is having fun at corporate expense.
bow chicka wow wow
Does anyone else find it wrong that the workers could not read English (local kids?) yet they are passing out condoms in the schools? Priorities a little messed up there? Maybe. I am thinking that maybe the school system should pay a little more attention to teaching our kids to read instead of promoting sex before marriage. I may be wrong, but I don’t think so.
Now I am a FAIL! (DUH!) I went back and read the article again and found a line I missed about the company being in Mexico. However, if the shipment was made to a U.S. McDonald’s, why did the managers not notice this before they handed the condoms out? So I will stick to my last statement saying that the school system needs to stick to educating our kids instead of promoting sex.
There were no workers who couldn’t read English or a factory in Mexico.. this whole story was a gag from a satire news site. It never happened.
I’m love glovin’ it!
Come on, guys. This can’t be real. No-one is this stupid. Not even in the US of A.
Pretty nice post. I simply stumbled upon your weblog and wished to say that I have really loved browsing your weblog posts. After all I’ll be subscribing on your rss feed and I am hoping you write once more very soon!
