  1. simanito says:

    fisrt

    • suRRendeReR says:

      fail’d

    • duh says:

      Posting “first” (or – even better – “fisrt”) is kind of like being in the Special Olympics. Even if you pull off a win, you’re still retarded.

      • Ploerp says:

        There would be no firsters if there weren’t people like you encouraging them to do so.

      • siriusdelirious says:

        People who use the word retarded in reference of the mentally challenged are such losers.

        • Nope says:

          Except that in psychology their is a condition called that way…

          The problem is not the word. “Retarded” just means you’re not as intelligent as you should be for your age (it comes from the French “retard” which means “late”). It really means what it is.

          The problem is how people have been using that word as an insult. It now feels insulting for that reason, although its just supposed to be the name of a condition. But if we frequently used “mentally challenged” as an insult, it would soon be considered offensive, even when a doctor uses this word as a diagnosis.

          Also “mentally challenged” could mean lots of things. It could refer to retarded people, schizophrenics, depressive people… Anyone with any psychological issue or disability would qualify as “mentally challenged”.

          Also, most retarded people are aware that they aren’t as intelligent as they should be but they don’t feel challenged by their condition. I’m not saying they can perform as well as a normal adult, but they don’t see their situation as a problem (except when jerks tell them they are inferior to other people by calling them things such as “challenged”).

          So I’m pretty sure they’d prefer the word “retarded” (which calls their condition what it is) rather than “mentally challenged” (which implies their condition is a problem, and who likes to be reminded that they have problems?)

          If you want to be politically correct, at least do it only when you are familiar and have experience with the topic.

          • Nope says:

            First line: “their2 should read “there”… Lack of sleep makes me do typos. (Just wanted to clear that out in case someone thought there’s no way I can be educated and make such a simple mistake.)

          • Poohead says:

            Wow! you really put a lot of thought into that post. Good for you

          • Toobel says:

            Too long! Did not listen.

          • Angela says:

            Except that the newest revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to be published in 2013 will no longer use the term “retarded” on the grounds that it is insensitive. The new term will be “intellectual disability”. Therefore, “retarded” can be said to be an outdated term since it has been actively rejected. Therefore I declare your post a superiority fail.

            • Bob says:

              its 2013 already?

            • Nick says:

              “revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to be published in 2013 ”
              By my count we have 3 more years until your statement means anything. Just because something will happen in the future does not mean it will take effect now. (eg. the healthcare bill, it got passed but will not really take hold for a few years.)
              And I think his main point was that any word will become demeaning if it is used enough as an insult.

              • Angela says:

                If it is actively slated for removal in 2013 it is recognized as demeaning now. That was my point. The decision wasn’t made because the APA psychically recognized that in 2013 the term will be totally unacceptable.

              • Slade says:

                Hey! Don’t discriminate against time travelers. Your comment is demeaning and insensitive.

        • yomomma says:

          Or are they retarded….

      • teh cat says:

        Is that so hard not to reply to the firsters? They’ll feel lonely soon and leave

      • mike says:

        pathetic to use this. are you like 11 years old? have some respect for those who have to work ten times harder than you to have a decent life. shame on you you creep.

  2. Avis says:

    FIREMENZ!!!!!!

  3. Captain_Jack says:

    No, silly fireman, a hero is a sandwich.

  4. Dante says:

    what thats a total win

  5. nightshayde says:

    Now I want pizza. I don’t need that particular fireman — but pizza would be splendid.

  6. Jakeo16 says:

    So if pizza is the hero, what is the villain/disaster/horrendously terrible event?

  7. Peadobear says:

    Hopefully it doesn’t An Hero.

    • damastaplan says:

      You are clearly a /b/tard.
      Too bad you spelled Pedobear wrong.. :P
      Or Pædobear/Paedobear, if you prefer..
      Either way, you spelled it wrong.

      IZ NOT TROLLIN!!! ^u^

  8. Platypus says:

    Gas station pizza is your hero, if you sell pepto bismol and toilet paper.

  9. claftronic says:

    hunger. duh.

  10. David Forthoffer says:

    So why is this a fail?

  11. holmes says:

    $5.99 LARGE PIZZAS? That’s definitely a real hero in my book.

  12. FF says:

    haha woot? pizza is my real hero my ass hahahaha

  14. Tweezer says:

    At approximately 3:57 am on July the 5th, a spontaneous combustion caused a known Bel air residence to go up in flames, but not before the residents were heroicly rescued by a pair of two vigilantes who only referred to themselves as….the pizzas.
    A rescued civilian at the scene had this to say: “Pizzas saved my father. Pizzas are the real heroes. Bless you pizzas, wherever you go!”

  15. robynnn says:

    THIS IS A WIN!

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

    It’s saved me from hunger many, many times.

  17. coolman1516 says:

    how is this a fail??

  18. jorge armando says:

    win!!!

    • Dave says:

      no, it’s a slap in the face to all of the actual heros. Firemen, police, servicemen, and the rest. If you had a brain, then you’d know it’s not a win.

  19. Divine Goddess of the Cuddle Puddle says:

    Steak is my hero!!

  20. UKRANiAN says:

    If house is on fire or cat is trapped on tree, what do I do? Throw pizza?

    This is nonsense. Everyone knows that a true hero is someone like Vladimir Kochenko.

  21. foohy says:

    The funny thing is that there’s a Papa John’s ad next to this post…

    Bazinga!

  22. rawrawrawr says:

    This isn’t a fail or a win…it’s just stupid -.-

  23. brian says:

    My mom was supposed to get me pizza for dinner, but she thought I said “PASTA.” -.-

  24. knothead says:

    It’s true, you know

  25. Timmy says:

    It sadly is not true. Pizza is not a sandwich. The real hero has pastrami.

  26. IRONY I just at pizza after seeing this EPIC it saved me from bein hungry thanks pizza

  27. yugypeerca says:

    A pizza with one topping costs 66 bucks? Or is this one of those stripper delivery services?

  28. meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh says:

    did e did?
    btw 1rd

  29. Iva says:

    Lame. Yet another Fail blog failure. Stop trying so hard.

  30. rpm1337 says:

    Naw man, this is totally a win. a super win. ^_^

  31. catflap says:

    I agree with Iva, this is so lame.

  32. bob says:

    i dont get it

  33. Nick says:

    That’s ironic because back in ’04, the market at the end of my street caught fire and burned down due to the pizza oven, so in that case… Pizza was the VILLAN.

    • Non-Sequiter says:

      After an argument about whether simply putting pineapple on something actually makes something “Hawaiian”, the villainous arsonist “Pizza the Hutt” (disgruntled and lonely from his cameo-appearance in a Mel Brookes film) burns down his store and flees, never to be seen again.

  34. ClariPossum says:

    I guess I’m just unaware of whatever reference this is trying to make… but I haven’t a clue why this is here…

  35. damastaplan says:

    Or not.
    *CouldahaddaV8*

  36. Killa0815 says:

    I would say thats a win because if a fire fighter means that ^^

  37. Mr1cammando says:

    65.99 for one large pizza?????

  38. Hurr Durr says:

    ^I lol’d so hard I might vomit the pizza I ate earlier today…

  39. Luigi says:

    No way is this a fail, it’s an epic win!

  40. Me says:

    I never thought a pizza ad could be this offensive

    • Non-Sequiter says:

      Yeah, the tragedy would be that all those heroes would burn up with the business because there are only firefighters around…

  41. I would say thats a win because if a fire fighter means that

    • Nope says:

      Yeah uh… That guy on the picture did not mean it, he was paid to say it. And in fact he was probably an actor in a costume, not a firefighter.
      (I really hope I understood your comment wrong)

  42. Smiley says:

    When theres a fire, don’t call the fire department. Just bring your ingredients and cook a pizza! Cuz Pizza will save the day!!!

  43. Oliver says:

    If by hero you mean, tastes delicious and satisfies hunger, then yes pizza is a real hero :)

  44. Nic says:

    Well I have never heard of a pizza that “bravely” bombs a school full of brown kids from 16000 feet and goes home for tea and medals.

    Therefore pizza is not “hero”.

  45. Ze says:

    This is a major WIN

  46. lol says:

    dis is WIN

  47. Igetstabby says:

    I was saved by pizza once…
    Well, I was really really hungry!

  48. chucky says:

    Screw that Godfather’s pizza is hella nasty, what other pizza place has a taco pizza?

  49. Schd says:

    PIZZA killed chuck norris with diarrhea

  50. laffoutlowd says:

    wel, nxt time ur house is on fire, call dominp’s

  51. Jeff says:

    There is no way that sign is real. No advertiser is that stupid. I refuse to believe it.

  52. In addition to the obvious fail, this is also a quotation marks fail. It’s redundant to put things in speech bubbles in quotation marks.

  53. Captain Obvious says:

    Reality isn’t much classier:

    http://www.firehouse.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-84039.html

    Cashing in on 9/11 is always FAIL, no matter who you are or what you do.

  54. Odd says:

    Hmm, Kentucky doesn’t have a Godfather’s Pizza, according to their website. Wonder how old this sign is?

  55. Even says:

    Hmm, Kentucky has 25 Godfather’s Pizza locations, according to the website listed in the picture.

  56. lowell says:

    because only a pizza…..
    can stop forest fires…..

  57. Mr Meesh says:

    you guys are all missing the point. yes, it is a fail that it says that pizza is a hero, but the real fail is the fireman. if any of you live in the Midwest, you would know that the godfather is supposed to be the gang leader. instead, this billboard pictures him as a fireman. now that’s a fail.

  58. Alan says:

    Yeah Mac, totally Bob Duvall there.

  59. HR says:

    It’s true guys, a meat lovers once pulled me from the rubble of a collapsed building.

  60. docsnavely says:

    Pizza is my hero too. Firemans are heros to the Lay-Z-Boy dealer in town. I can say that cause I’m not a firemans but I “work” with them. They push my stretcher and carry my bags good. They do what they are told and make good spaghetties.

    (spelling intentional for effect)

  61. name says:

    Pizza got my cat down of the tree once! – I only had to throw hard enough….

  62. Schoolhouse says:

    only PIZZA can prevent forest fires

  63. gfgoooodrich says:

    god bless pizza, and let it forever reign as the supreme party food.

  64. p-doe says:

    How many pizza’s were lost in the 9/11 attacks???

    • The Lake Effect says:

      I… don’t even want to think about it. Next thing you know, THOSE people will want to open up a shawarma restaurant at Ground Zero! Falafel? Cous-cous? This is America. Eat American!

  65. mike says:

    Just because you don’t like what you’ve read doesn’t mean you need to use the word retard. that’s just wrong.
