premature eyaculation FTL
EPIC WIN
to the picture… not this first dbag
First
FAIL
Oh, my. What kind of sport do you prefer?
*3* I thought she meant ‘water sport’….
So, Jake is the fat man.
hehe am I the only one that gets this? BTW I just noticed your name is marius… +10 internets for the Les Mis reference. +1000000000 if it’s your actual name.
Aren’t all armchair athletes fat men? Or is that all fantasy league athletes?
This fail’s take on male @$$hole-itude juxtaposes nicely with the previous fail’s. Interesting effect.
Win?
*double-checks*
Nope, it definitely says “FAIL”.
He means that it could’ve been a win in a misogynistic point of view.
I’m pretty sure it would be considered a win in a humorous point of view.
no, it’s funny to us guys, and those women who aren’t femenazis. (feminism is a type of sexism… hypocrites.)
Feminism isn’t actually sexism, but the name makes it seem that way. That’s why a lot of the more rational feminists have started using the term “equalist” in place of feminist.
Feminism is not a type of sexism, but guys who think they deserve 95% of the breaks often see getting only 50% of them as “discrimination”.
These are the same pathetic losers who think it’s A-OK for a girl to like sports as long as she pretends not to know as much as he does. Because it’s totally emasculating for a woman not to be less intelligent and less knowledgeable than he is.
Is it just me or are you describing a personal experience? *eyeroll*
Feminism is a failed campaign. They’re aspiring to be equal. That’s a bit of a crappy aspiration, if they were clever they’d aim for a higher gender standing.
And that is why men are better.
“Because it’s totally emasculating for a woman not to be less intelligent and less knowledgeable than he is.”
I don’t think that’s really fair, it would like saying it would be a turn-off if the guy knew more about make-up than she does.
Uh, no. Look again. He’s -trying- to make a funny sexist joke, and failing horribly. What he’s actually saying is “Sporty girls are only a deal-breaker if sport means going to the fridge and getting me a beer”, obviously not word-for-word but that’s the general idea. That’s why it’s a fail.
thank you
“Are sporty girls a dealbreaker? Only if you consider getting a beer from the fridge for him a sport”.
Therefore getting beers from the fridge =sport
Girls who like sport (getting beers from the fridge)= dealbreaker.
So getting beers from the fridge= dealbreaker.
Thank you for actually realizing that. He tried to be offensive but ended up being stupid.
I declare all the statements above this one a fail
Maybe jake is a transgender Feminist though
Femenazis are really offended when you call them that. You are being very non PC. The term misandrist less offensive because most of them have no idea what it means being bubble headded… er I mean being they have special needs.
Jake the dog is worried that he’ll be out of a job.
more like: WIN!
seems like a win to me
You sound like the sort of guy Carl’s Jr.’s ads were made for.
check the wording, he says it *would* be a dealbreaker if she considered getting him a beer to be a sport, that’s why it’s a fail
No, it IS a fail. To correctly express the sentiment it should have been “Only if you DON’T consider”
Right now it’s just a clever satire aimed at male privileged and gender hegemony!
No, he’s actually correct. I wouldn’t want a girlfriend/wife that gets her daily work-out when going to the fridge. That would be a deal breaker.
This was exactly my thought. It makes perfect sense as written, and frankly I don’t see any fail in it.
agreed~
maybe because he used the “get ME a beer” phrase that got everyone confused…. he should have used a more generic non-exercise event… or one that’s more focused on her instead of him. like “painting your nails” or something… but then it might not have been as funny?
But she’s clearly getting someone else the beer, and the reply doesn’t say “if that’s the _only_ sport you participate in”. It could be one of many sports she’s into. There’s no assumption in the reply that her principal form of exercise is going to the fridge.
Yeah, I was about to claim that Jake had a sexism fail, but I like your take better.
If it was satire, wouldn’t it be Win?
that’s a win!!!
That is definitely, positively a WIN.
The question was taking a jab at men (being < sports), so it got a sarcastic reply.
Hmm.. on second look, perhaps not.
Hmmm…
*looks at comments*
*readies shot glass*
Let me join you.
*readies martini glass*
Heavily charged espresso.
What’s your poison?
It’s a win wtf
*Votes for a win!!*
Ok, somewhat on topic story. When my wife and I were dating, one of the earliest clues that I had found the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with went something like this:
Starfish: “It doesn’t look like I’m going to win the fantasy football pool this year.”
Mrs.Starfish: “Why is that?”
Starfish: “Because I’m tied with Bart going into the last week of the season and he has Tom Brady as his quarterback.”
This is the part that got me:
Mrs. Starfish: “Do you think Bill Belichick would risk playing Brady that much in the last game considering they have homefield advantage secured throughout the playoffs?”
She had me at Bill Belichick. You need to understand that we are not Patriots fans and we don’t live in the New England area. She knew that information because she had been listening to me the whole season, and she knew it was important to me. I love my wife for so many reasons, but that’s one of my favorites.
*happytears*
I love a good love story.
Me, too! I love it when people find their life match…
Wow. So sweet!
… Where’s my insulin?
People, read the question and the answer more closely…
Stupid question, stupid answer. You all fail for winning, or we won by failing.
Wargarble.
thats more like a win
This is a win.
It’s a fail because a stupid question got an honest answer.
It’s a fail because the low self-esteem implied by asking this inane question chummed the water for the sorts of worthless douchebags she’s likely to end up settling for.
actually, it never occurred to me that she has low self-esteem.. on the contrary, my 1st instinct was that she was bragging about how she’s a girl and likes sports. i dunno, maybe that’s just me @_@
Interesting psychology involved in women’s response to this answer, “Go get me a beer.” Men enjoy the reaction possibly more than getting the beer. It’s a stimuli intended to push buttons. Now, women PRETEND they never talk like this, but I asked my girlfriend about her “Girl’s Night Out” events, and she fully admits women can be just as misandrous as men are misongynist, but they hide it better. Women joke about men all night long in front of other women, the difference is a guy might joke about his girlfriend/wife directly in front of her whereas a lot of women won’t. Some women are cool and dish it back, and everyone knows we are comfortable enough in our relationships to joke on one another. I hate beer, but the time I might make this joke is after a day in the garage at my workbench covered in sawdust or paint I might walk inside in a wifebeater and yell at my girlfriend to get me a beer. She’ll get me water or a diet Pepsi instead, and will actually think it’s funny. She also knows if she needed something to drink, I’d get it for her too.
In the end, women, don’t act like you don’t say stuff like this. We all know you have to poop or let out a huge fart when you go to the ladies room to “powder your nose”. In many ways you’re no different than us, so if you can’t take it, don’t dish it either, and find some wimpy guy who says yes dear to everything you request of him.
Man rant off.
I completely agree.
I provisionally agree.
What you are neglecting to consider is that women are subjected to treatment like this constantly–at home, workplace, the media, everywhere. It’s not a joke…it’s very, very real and at times it becomes extremely difficult to live in a society where you are treated like a second-class citizen, a maid, a slave, a sex toy, or an irritation that happens to have a few redeemable qualities by a significant portion of the population. I agree that ridiculing such behavior is a good way to deal with it, but you need to understand–it can be difficult sometimes to laugh when you know it’s not actually a joke, when you know there are people out there who really do think this way.
So yes, of course women will sometimes joke amongst ourselves in kind, but when men do it, there is a millennias-old history of patriarchal privilege behind it that protects them from any actual victimhood. Not so for women.
A private joke is one thing, joking like this in public, at a party, in front of strangers or acquaintances, or the dreaded, in front of your guy friends, is quite another. Too many times I’ve come across another male acquaintance attempt to pull off this “humo(u)r” in these settings, and no matter how comfortable the couple may be with it, it is unsettling, and I feel embarrassed not only for the significant other of the joke teller, but for every other woman within earshot.
Same here. I believe that most jokes between couples should be private, because so many embarassing situations like the one you mentioned can arise.
Heh. Once, a boyfriend introduced me to his colleagues at his workplace as “the old ball and chain”. He thought it would be “humo(u)rous” to introduce me to his friends and co-workers that way.
What he discovered, however, was how it felt to be dumped in front of his friends and co-workers at his workplace. I figured he probably felt as humiliated as I did.
Now you’re known as his old flame.
*FOOM*-age is a dish best served hawt as hell.
One little tiny thing, when we have to fart, even if it is that big giant window rattling type, WE GO TO THE BATHROOM TO DO IT!!!! We don’t brag about how loud it was, how long it lasted or anything like that.
Everybody poops. To pretend otherwise is stupid.
Jokes are one thing, taking it further (to the point of a lifestyle) is waaaaaaay too far.
So I agree that this is not a fail if he intended to express the point that he would consider this a deal-breaker if she considered getting beers a sport.
However, I am inclined to think this is a double-fail as he meant to say she should consider it a sport (sentiment fail) and forgot the ‘don’t.’
hmmm, i ain’t considering this as THAT kind of fail, it’s just weak mind
I’m woman but I still think this as a win.
Good for you. Hopefully you agree with my rant above.
WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
The fail is that it doesn’t say “only if you don’t consider…”
MX represent!
Woo yeah! Go mX!!! I wonder what percentage of failbloggers would recognise the paper? Not many methinks…
I wonder how many failbloggers care about what paper this is from… I think your post raises the number to: 1.
I most certainly did, read it on the train rides home from the city
more a fan of the Overheard section though.
i probably handed it to you. that’s really depressing.
I thought i was the only one that recognised the paper
I recognised it too
go MX!
I only scrolled through the comments to see if anyone else recognised it as MX…
This is a win, if you ask me.
She should know her place.
daaaaw what a cute internet troll. Who wants a cookie?
Reply win!
It’s a fail on the part of the newspaper for not filtering the responses.
this is a Win
It look more like a win to me.
It is a sexist win
uh, WIN!
FTW!
I had to make an account to tell everyone how stupid they are. While the answer itself is a WIN, the FAIL is the fact that the newspaper would publish the answer.
duh.
It would be a turnoff for me because I could careless about sports. All of them.
You’re certainly careless with spelling and word choice.
this is most defiantly a win
I’m pretty sure that this is from Mx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MX_%28newspaper%29
It’s a win actually.
haha, i love MX. thats the peper that its in.
Absolutely a FAIL – and all that think this is a win get a fail as well.
He’s trying to be funny – but he gets it all wrong.
Re-read the question, and the answer.
Question – “Would loving sport be a deal-breaker for a guy?”
Answer – “Only if you consider going to the fridge to get me a beer a sport”.
So what he’s actually said is “If you love going to the fridge to get me a beer, then yes, this would be a dealbreaker for me”.
Total fail
yes, should be
“Not if you consider…”
NOT FAIL AT ALL MASSES OF WIN
Could all you dropkicks out there that keep saying this is a WIN, please explain exactly what it is about this that is a win?
The guy totally fails. He attempts to be funny in a chauvanistic way, but he gets it the wrong way around.
Perhaps I am missing something – but as far as I can see – he totally fails.
I’d say a WIN!
May have to use this one in the future!
Lol it’s a win
um i think that might be a WIN
mX for the win!
This is such a win. The fact that it says fail is a fail on their part. A fail of epic proportions.
This is from MX magazine we Sydney-siders grab on the way home from work. I saw this and thought it was gold. why is it a fail?
he mixed his words up and basically said it *would* be a dealbreaker if she went to get him beers
No “watersports” jokes yet?
how has those trolls managed to come close to a mailbox to mail a letter? their powers weaken when they leave their moms basement. so how do they manage to mail a letter? i shall smite him and end this terrible flame war. HUZZAH!
haha, this is from the mX, there is a lot of funny stuff in that magazine, especially the overheard section
this is from a newspaper called mX. You get it at the train station where I live. i always try to work out the box puzzles. got 1 right so far. oh BTW this picture is a win
Wait, why isn’t this a win? rofl
This is a WIN to me
win
inb4 gb2kitchen (As in, I expect someone to utter “gb2kitchen” in a sentence)
lol.. Its from a Newspaper called Mx… Silly things are always in there. And there has been a lot worse things than that rofl.
It was a joke. You shouldnt condemn the poor guy for having a sense of humor lol.
this is a win. i dont care what u say. this is a win
