Whut?
Tea parties? Is that all there is?
They misspelled “tea-totalers”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_%28demon%29
‘And He (Jesus) asked him (the man), “What is thy name?” And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion: for we are many.
And Jesus asked him, saying, “What is thy name?” And he said, “Legion”: because many devils were entered into him’
I suppose the second line is what really brought it all together for me.
anonymous fails to realize this quote pre-dates the internet. Anonymous stole the quote and now the tea-party has stole the quote. YOU ARE NOT ORIGINAL!!! your just so young you think you are.
Regardless of who used this quote first, the tea party is obviously trying to capitalize on the popularity of anonymous.
This is not a copyright issue.
If you have to explain it, it’s not a fail.
Second of all, the quote predates the internet.
Third of, we get it, you’re super leftist and hate everyone on the right. We’ve had like 3 of these anti-right “fails” in the space of a week. I thought that that was what pundit kitchen was for.
Seems failblog is getting worse and worse at posting actual fails.
Right, it’s not like it’s a quote from a Demon challenging Jesus Christ or anything, it’s that it was “stolen” from 4chan.
Every single meme on the internet was created in 4chan.
This site was created after the creator saw the original “I can haz cheezburger?” cat picture CREATED on 4chan.
4chan is probably the most original site on the internet.
Refer to the Rules of the Internet 21-24.
and rules 1 and 2
You must be new to /b/ if you think that it’s a secret club. Man, it’s one of the biggest message boards on the web, no point in pretending it’s not. Rules 1 and 2 are just joke refferences to Fight Club.
Haha, just kidding. I realize that any talk about the inner workings of /b/ is a serious issue, and have noe been killed in ANY way. I am perfectly fine.
… Do you even know what rule 1 and 2 are? You just broke them…
1. Do not talk about ***.
2. Do NOT talk about ***.
*** is “that place” which you just mentioned. You know… The darkest corner of our lair.
Uh actually rules 1 and 2 only apply to raids. Not general discussions..
Putting this here for people who don’t get it: http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Anonymous
You’ll start to get a glimpse of the big picture after clicking on a few links… not SFW
every single meme? what about youtube?
Youtube is a meme?
Yes, the part “we are Anonymous” was definitely stolen by Anonymous. GTFO
As far as I can tell, the only line they “stole” is the one from the Bible. I’ll admit that “We will not forgive/ We will not forget” isn’t terribly original, but the motto as a whole seems to have originated with Anonymous. There’s a difference between the Tea Party stealing the entire motto and Anonymous borrowing a single line from the Bible. If we’re going to go around complaining every time someone references a Biblical quote, we’d have to throw out most of the works of Shakespeare and half the library of Congress.
Of course, if the entire motto is borrowed from another source, I apologize and defer to your point. I’ve never seen the motto as a whole in any other context, but I’m open the idea that I’m wrong.
That’s all I could think of too, though I must admit that I never knew the quote until I started reading the Exorcist and Legion by Blatty
That struck me, too. I don’t think it necessarily says anything about them as far as being “evil” or “demonic” but personally I wouldn’t want to associate myself with such a term, considering the connotation. The term itself simply means a really huge number, but the connotation is enough for me to want to stay away.
Much like people don’t use the term “Titanic” to mean humongous any more.
thats what i thought they were referring to…
Its saying go buy merch right after it said we are anon
This isn’t a fail. It’s failblog trying to insult its own cashcow. If chan/anon/somethingaweful didn’t exist, they wouldn’t bbe making any money.
Wow. You just won the internet.
failblog isnt insulting chan/anon its insulting the teaparty for ripping off anon’s slogan
You didn’t even understand it, did you?
Okay, someone needs to explain a few things. First, to all who ask “Why is this a fail” or “Is it a fail if you have to explain it?” Are you for real? Seriously? You don’t know where this whole family of sites came from? You don’t know ANY Internet history or culture? Furthermore, it is a fail of the highest level even without that, so let me start there.
These are bumper stickers. I hope I don’t have to explain THAT part of the fail any further.
Not enough for you? Okay, how about, this is an appeal to anonymous mob violence, it’s basically saying, if you cross us, we’ll come for you in the night and destroy you.
And that leads us to the real fail here: making /b/ angry. Heck, getting yourself noticed by /b/ is bad enough. Stealing their slogan and using it in a retarded way? Are you kidding me? /b/ is anonymous mob violence incarnate. What you are seeing on the Internet is not even the half of it. /b/ destroys people, in real life, just for the lolz. They are psychopaths. Not many of them are, really, but a few are simply flat out psychopaths. Oregon Tea Party is about to find out what Legion really is.
Yep. Guaranteed the wheels of the Hate machine are turning now. And there is no force that can stop them.
Well, you say that so you can sound arch and knowing, but the worst 4chan /b/ ever did was prank call a Starbucks. So basically who cares.
Idiot, jesse slaughter was.
And the consequences will never be the same.
You are cancer. That meme isn’t even funny.
At least it’s funnier than you.
/facepalm
lulz
The only thing that can stop them is their own short attention span.
What’s worse than Anonymous and their stupid internet troll tactics? The tea-party. They make perfect bedfellows, though, both completely oblivious to the way the world works and insisting on being whiny little tools in the name of a cause they don’t even understand.
Who is using anonymous as a tool? Or maybe you don’t really know what you are talking about…
Not that anonymous is being used, it’s easy enough to route a mob to a certain goal, but stopping them is another matter. And yes you can also easily fail at routing a mob.
maybe most people on failblog.org have no life and know all about 4chan and /b/, but I guarantee if you go out on the street and ask random people most people won’t have a clue what you are talking about. That is why this is a fail fail submission. Insulting others for not knowing this just makes yourself more like an internet loser with no life…
Cheezburger Network is dedicated to the internet culture and 4chan is one of the biggest and most influential message boards on the web. It’s logical to assume that people who visit meme-related websites know what 4chan is.
This isn’t a fail because someone at New America Press didn’t do their homework when they swiped a slogan from a protest group. This is a fail because the Tea Party could have stolen a billion different slogans throughout time but they chose to stick their face in the beeeez nest. It would be a fail not akin to Louis Vittan choosing to make his spring line hats out of live Great White sharks. It wouldn’t matter wheather you understood that Great White Sharks are endangerred, it’s just a bad idea to put them on your head.
Is there something wrong with me? I visit /b/ and I am not a psychopath. And I am not a pedophile. Seriously, your knowledge of 4chan is probably based on Fox News report.
Lol, thanks Fox News.
I can’t express how utterly worthless this fail submission is. If you have to explain it, it’s too complicated and/or too obscure. After searching comments, I see the slogan evidently comes from 4chan/b/. Oh obviously doesn’t everyone without a life know that?! If you are trying to bash tea partiers, is this really the best fail you could find?
FIRST
And I don’t get it?…
Fail not first,
Double fail for not getting it
I’m not going outside. I’m scared.
me 2, plus it bright outside
You’ll be safe if you get a dog.
Yes we Chan!
ht tp://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/102426-Anonymous-Punishes-the-Oregon-Tea-Party
I suspect that it was an Anonymous member holding that sign at a Tea Party gathering, doing it for the lulz as always, when some TP member saw the sign and said to themselves “Hey, that would look good on a bumper sticker!”
I live in Oregon, and considering the high levels of Derp in the Tea Party members I’ve seen around here, this would not surprise me at all.
Hear, hear.
Then again, Derp content in Oregon’s Tea Party simply reflects Derp content elsewhere. We were simply blessed that our brand of Derp decided to gift our state with the “honor” of this fail.
WIN!!
Fail Blog FAIL!
If you have to explain it, then it’s not a FAIL. This site has really gone downhill lately.
in other words, they should keep it dumbed down for the dummies – that’s how we got fox news
no, that’s how we got obama as a president
I will never understand how people can be so fooled by their chosen political party. Life must really suck for you.
Who’s the more foolish: The fool, or the fool who follows him?
*bows to Obi Wan*
Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black…
Sounds like you might need a hearing aid.
Don’t fight, Avis. There’s no joy in beating up the retarded cousin.
I know, I know.
*heads to the break room to look for cake*
you need the ASHPD to get the cake, jackass
GLaDOS took the ASHPD because you murdered her.
Obama is a black kettle
And kettles… make tea.
*Roll opening credits for CSI Miami*
…Sorry, I just thought of Ace Attorney.
I still don’t get it. (My fail?) Is it really a Fail if you have to take a class to understand it?
Admittedly, even upon explanation, this is a pretty lame fail.
My appologies for blasphemy.
You don’t need a class, you just need to be aware of a certain (sizeable) chunk of Internet culture. This choice of slogan is definitely failworthy not only because it’s plagiarized, but also because the people they’re copycatting are fairly disreputable. Then again, that shoe kinda fits for the Teabaggers.
(seals off the pool due to AIDS)
This isn’t the first time I’ve wondered if somehow 4chan was behind the Tea Party. It’s all coming together now….
Plagiarizing!? I thought that was a poster that some Channer hacked/vandalized with the Anonymous slogan.
You’re telling me that’s the original flyer?!?
Bwaaaaahahahahaha
now you see the fail.
The only thing I can figure is that a demon in the Bible refers to himself as legion. “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
Which makes the whole thing a bit ironic, dontcha think?
Ionic….Pillars of the community and all!
I’d like to speak to the contractor and the city planner then.
*siiiiiiiiigh* I’m slowly coming to grips with the fact that people will always and forever use that word wrong.
And actually, I think it makes the whole thing rather appropriate, myself. :p
*pat, pat, pat*
Have another Smore™, dear.
*nommity-nommy-nom!*
FGNKKOOO!
Ironically, it begs the question that people will always and forever use begging the question incorrectly as well.
Well I’d like an explanation of why you think he used it wrong in this case. Irony is characterized by often poignant difference or incongruity between what is expected and what actually is; the tea-partiers are expected to be good, they equate themselves to a demon.
Yes…it’s ironic.
We dealt with the word irony used incorrectly in an earlier fail. And I was making a reference to that. Dragon was responding to that reference, not so much this particular fail.
That’s the 1st thing I thought.
you do realize that legion is a military unit right? and they are many as well. which is probably why the writers of the bible decided to name a demon legion.
*pours tea for peeps*
One lump or two?
*runs to hide the mallet*
It was going to be a love tap. Seriously.
So, when is the Tea Party?
wut?
Maybe they say “We are anonymous” and on the right, it’s written “Oregon Tea Party” so it’s not really anonymous… ??
Mob mentality, you are anonymous in a mob. People do things when swept up in a mob that alone they would never do.
It’s kind of like AA where the first thing you do is stand up and tell everyone your name.
Expect them? Not the Spanish Inquisition then.
I suppose it’s a fail, because they still advertise for themselves even though they say they’re anonymous… a fail needs to be a bit more obvious than this though imo.. oh well
If people don’t understand, then it’s better.
inb4 rule 1&2
inb4 rule 34….
inb rules 3-7
Rules 1 and 2 apply only to raids.
It’s a win for those who know. :p
that’s from the anti-scientology video by “anonymous”, the internet “group”. Not sure why it’s a fail though
COngrats, you fail at spotting fails.
Oh, yeah: the chowderheads who wear Guy Fawkes masks.
The only difference between Guy Fawkes and Mohammed Atta/Osama Bin Laden? Guy Fawkes’s attempt to murder thousands of innocents failed.
Guy Fawkes WAS a terrorist, but his target was the british parliament, not random civilians. Check your facts before you spout them idiot.
Guy Fawkes was just the hired merc. who got caught, he wasn’t one of the plotters or “terrorist masterminds” as it seems fashionable to call them. Check your facts before you spout them idiot.
Guy fawkes target was not civilans but a goverment going roug
1. The British Parliament does not have thousands of members.
2. The British Parliament does not have ANY innocent members.
3. You are a moron. Please commit suicide.
its a fail for many reasons the first is they copy catted that slogan from the internet group anonymous which was incredibly obvious (and yes I realize anonymous didn’t create it/write it) second they claim to be anonymous hence the first line and off to the side they say who they are, where they live, their mothers maiden name, and their social security numbers as well as what time they are available to be beaten up.
This fail is soooo fail that the 20% of people that “get it” face-palm hard enough for the 80% that don’t.
Dear, god… As if the Tea Party needed any more public proof of their idiocy.
If there is one group on Earth that I would be terrified of having on my ass, it would be /b/.
inb4 rule 1-2, idiot! shut up now. or they will find you.
Rules 1 and 2 only apply to raids.
Which this just might become anyways.
It did. They managed to Bork Facebookfor a bit last night.
Au contraire. The more public proof of their idiocy, the better. It keeps those freaks from gaining any power.
The joke is that it’s what 4chan /b/ uses as their slogan, and /b/ is pretty much famous for ruining lives. I guess it’s kind of suitable for a Tea Party slogan in that case.
Is this an add placement fail or a fail fail?
I don’t get it. yes they stole the slogan from anonymus…and that’s all I can see on the picture, the small text to the right is not really readable…so what? the slogan is nice so I don’t see why it’s a fail when you use it.
aint a slogan they stole the the internet rules google it
If it’s only ironic in one obscure, narrow interpretation which is clearly not the intended meaning, then it’s NOT A FAIL.
DUN GOOFED!!!!! >:(
Darth Vader returns
Yeah, that whole sticking to the constitution thing is sooo freaking horrible. Since the vast membership of the tea party of is veterans you haters are just spitting on vets like your hippy parents did in the ’60′s
Just a small point. And then I’m gonna leave this one alone. Veterans are fallible, capable of being wrong about anything. Disagreeing with veterans is NOT spitting on them.
Illogical troll is illogical.
*leads Avis away*
Illogical troll fail.
For those who still think it’s a fail, we are anonymous doesn’t mean the group is anonymous. It means that the members of the group can’t be identified like Jews in Poland with the star of david armbands on their arms. This is the obvious meaning for anyone intelligent. Probably the only arguable mistake is capitalizing the A in anonymous. But that was done to match Legion, which a good argument can be made for doing that.
This only goes to show that whoever put this fail up doesn’t mind letting their own political opinion seep into the site.
that’s true, but long cat is long.
you sir win over nine thousand internets
You missed the true fail here.
Of course, people. How good a FAIL could it be if it needs to be explained to the clueless? Anything that isn’t obvious to morons is worthless.
Woah, I thought more people would know of Anonymous. Anonymous are an important part of the Internet. Sad to use the Internet for entertainment and not know of Anon. It’s like voting in political elections without knowing what the Republican or Democrat party are.
Wow, it blows my mind that so many people who frequent this site, which has heavy references to various internettery, don’t know who Anonymous is. But I guess I can’t blame them for not knowing.
Look them up; learn when to steer clear of them – the Oregon tea party didn’t, and that’s their fail.
^THIS^
CLUELESS PEOPLE LOOK HERE FOR YOUR ANSWER! Then lurk moar
Or… you can have some fun and toy with them. Apparently they make pretty good puppets.
Ha! I love it when you have to think about it! Great one!
The backwards acronym is EWWWW
NO ONE EXPECTS THE RACIST INQUISITION!
A comment win among a bunch of failing comments? You sir, are awesome.
Teabaggers are FAIL
I may be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure that:
A) Failblog is a part of the Cheezburger network,
B) The Cheezburger network spawned out of ICanHazCheezburger (aka lolcat central),
C) lolcats spawned out of Anonymous, and of course…
D) the plagiarized slogan in this Fail entry is Anon’s
The fact that so many people have missed the reference is icing on the failcake.
One last bit: lolcats spawned from caturday, which came from anon. If you want a complete history check KnowYourMeme
I agree.
It’s amazing how many people on the Cheezburger Network don’t know about the Site-That-Spawned-It-All (Like He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, it must not be named). Just proof the Internet has been so watered down nobody remembers what started most if not all the memes they enjoy.
Help! Someone borked the STC real bad!
I noticed that too. I rely on the “recent comments” box to navigate the site these days.
Not to mention that there is a post by “Dragonwriter” from before I ever started posting on that fail! I swear, that isn’t me!
*hides under the bed*
It’s like all of the gravity has been sucked out of FailBlog, and all of the fails are just floating all about, all willy-nilly!
That person was also used about fifty other names!
Looks like they not only gave us our Friday rewind, but gave us the comments, too! Yes, Dragon, you posted that – back in July, 2008!
I am so scared right now. What did you guys do with the Cuddle Puddle? Was it nommed by the STC?
I didn’t do it!! My first comment was at the END of July in 2008! I swear, I wasn’t posting at this point, and I certainly didn’t steal my name from anyone…I’ve been nicknamed “Dragonwriter” for the last ten years or so.
Besides, when I was a quilt, my pattern was tannish-brown.
But look at all the other comments by the same quilt pattern! Some of those names are familiar, but the quilt is wrong.
I’m guessing I should stop using different names (i.e. troll, Arthur the wise-ass, etc. etc.)
What’s even odder is how the original fail seems to be missing its original comments:
http://failblog.org/2008/07/08/elephant-handler-fail/
It seems as though they showed up on the rewind instead…
What’s even odder is how the original fail seems to be missing its original comments:
ht tp://failblog.org/2008/07/08/elephant-handler-fail/
It seems as though they showed up on the rewind instead…
Weird. I guess it’s a fail on FailBlog’s part!
learn to speak chanese…
You never expect the Spanish Inuqisition!
And Cardinal Ximinez entered and said:
“Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Our chief weapon is surprise…
Surprise and fear…fear and surprise….
Our two weapons are fear and surprise…and ruthless efficiency….
Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope….
Our four…no… amongst our weapons…. amongst our weaponry…are such elements as fear, surprise….
I’ll come in again.” (exit and exeunt)
You’d think that right-wing nuts would know better than that:
And Jesus asked him, saying, “What is thy name?” And he said, “Legion”: because many devils were entered into him.
as a proud american, i cant support the communsim that is the tea parrty, also i have the facebook site it came from http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/TeaPartyOregon?v=wall&ref=notif
yep, that seems about right.
read the comments on the page, it’s not the original.
I don’t get this. At all. Not everyone is so immersed in “internet culture” that they would immediately recognize whatever joke is laced in there. This is a fail within the fail.
I don’t think all fails should have to be a guy getting hit in the balls. We are allowed some focus to our fails, me thinks.
In the meantime, either try and forget there is ever such a think as Anonymous, or lookup the internet reference for some darn good entertainment.
Bloody poseurs.
And ffs, you do NOT talk about /b/!
Only applies during raids.
anyone here acutally checked the oregon tea party’s profile? there are continuous spams of anon on there. I’m totally getting popcorn too.
haha i got it. yeah, it’s a fail.
I didn’t Know the Geth from Mass Effect were Tea Party Memembers. Hmmm
ME 2. If you’re going to be a nerd, at least do it properly.
proof that republicans fail hard.
This is ignorant…
Republicans have a successful history in:
Econom…nevermind.
Foreign pol…nevermind.
Civil rig…nevermind…
aw, f**k it, Republicans fail.
What’s 4chan? *plays dumb
For Anonymous, that question has many kinds of fail.
So trolled…
Makes more sense than “Yes we can!”
Are people really too stupid to do a Google search, read the entire sticker, or even just follow the damned link to understand why this is a fail?
They stole, outright, the slogan coined by a group that is known for being very ruthless, very vengeful, and when necessary very well organized, and used it for their own purposes, completely missing that capitalizing the A in anonymous makes it a very obvious reference to said group, and that capitalizing the L in legion makes it a somewhat more obscure reference to a biblical demon, and when called out on it by the aforementioned group, defended themselves by calling the group ‘basement dwellers’ and insisting the slogan they chose was theirs to use as they wish.
It’s a fail on multiple levels: Theft of intellectual property. Weak defense of said theft. Not researching or understanding references in said intellectual property. And most importantly…messing with a group composed of many, many internet users of varying levels of technical skill who’ve shown themselves to be very good at organizing against a specific enemy.
So how long before that branch of the teaparty gets hacked?
Right about….
Now.
So it took you 3 paragraphs to explain why it’s funny?
Wow. That’s hilarious. I’m having the big O in my polyester pants.
Uh, both lines predate /b/ quite a bit. One is from the bible, one is saying we are faceless. They are both common phrases. So it’s more /b/ failing a little and not realizing the world doesn’t revolve around them. It’d be one thing if they used a longcat is long or rule 34 slogan, but this one is still generic.
True, the lines existed about /b/, but that particular wording order is /b/’s.
“We are self-important douchebags who desperately need to find some meaning in our pathetic, bitter, little lives”
I guess that’s a bit long. They would probably need a seperate envelope.
Probably the best description of 4chan I’ve heard in some time. Good work my friend.
So, do I have this right? We have two opposing groups who:
a) think they’re the s**t
b) ain’t too bright
c) have computers and access to the net
d) don’t have much worthwhile to say
e) cling to the pack
f) thrive on attention
Is that about right?
*yawn* *flick* *flick*
Next…
You have it exactly right.
I would consider it as one is a raging baboon with blood and bile seeping from it’s mouth, and the other is a baby chimp just exploring the world.
Yes, they are both primates that throw s**t, but I think i know which one to bet on.
Fail, or win?
This is the best. Those who don’t get it, fail.
They’re new to the internet, go easy on them.
Obvious.
So obvious.
Don’t confuse them. One alex troll is enough.
And Jesus asked him, saying, “What is thy name?” And he said, “Legion”: because many devils were entered into him. Luke 8:30
Yes, that’s where it originated. Very good.
However, Anonymous is the first group to turn it into THAT EXACT QUOTE.
If I heard someone shout “Yippie Ka yay! mother%*(&$#!” I’m not going to say, ‘oh, well cowboys used to say that.’
I thought it failed hard enough in demonstrating that the authors (1) understand that a short, terse motto can feel hard-hitting and emphatic and (2) fail to understand that doing it five times in a row rather dilutes the effect.
I love moments like this. It’s like someone’s trying to sound tough, but is too intellectually unfocused to know when s/he’s done making the point.
OK, I’ve got no love for the teabaggers, but calling this a fail just because of some obscure internet meme is downright ridiculous. Who cares what Anonymous is “supposed” to mean?
Seeing as /b/ and 4chan is where Failblog originally spawned from, and -isn’t- some obscure meme…
I’d say you might need to look up some things before you comment again.
I did look it up, kiddo, which is why I knew what this was about. So kindly shove your patronizing advice. And while you’re at it, get some perspective. ‘Anonymous’ most certainly *is* an obscure meme, because the vast majority of people both on and off the internet have never heard of it.
LMFAO anonymous isn’t an obscure meme its an internet group of crackers. most people on and off the net have heard of anonymous because of their attacks on scientology. Anonymous started out as a meme but has largely become something different since its creation. so not only is anonymous not obscure its not a meme.
I agree.
This is a fail, because it’s a borderline terrorist threat.
There was a bear video? Cool…link me up, there’s a good boy.
I have been on the internet since 1993, but for some reason (maybe because I live outside of the USA), didn´t know what Anonymous, The Tea Party, 4Chan or /b/ meant.
Anyway, for the lost like me, here’s a link to a short article about the story: http://thenextweb.com/us/2010/07/26/oregon-political-movement-adopts-a-4chan-slogan/
and here’s an article about Anonymous’s revenge:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/102426-Anonymous-Punishes-the-Oregon-Tea-Party
If this slashdot, I’d rate this fail as “-9 Irrelevant to the rest of the world”
Paul
Net nuts had it coming.
1. Failblog fail due having to have the fail explained. Anonymous is an obscure internet group that most people, myself included, have never heard of.
2. Anyone who used the vulgar term “teabagger” auto-failed.
3. Obama fail, just because he is an utter dumbass.
Even considering that many members of the tea party have themselves willingly, gleefully used the term “teabagger” to refer to themselves?
And where were you when Bush was doing worse things?
wow tards. 1 and 2 seriously..
Wow…more “original” thought from /b/, even your first two rules are stolen, as is your slogan. You are not original, or important. Get over yourselves, pay your child support and take a vacation to a nice beach somewhere.
You think the /b/tards are old enough to be paying child support? I thought they were bored kids, at least for the mostpart. Wiki says 4chan was set up by a 15 year old.
& they kind of are important. Like it or not, in 20 years, Anonymous will be our generation’s punk rock/hippie/flapper movement.
I really think it was going to be the end of the Tea Party when I saw this. Wonder what Anon is doing, it’s not like them to let it go so easily.
4chan is a bunch of left wing internet terrorists anyway
Forgive me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the Tea Party supporters notoriously militant and Christian? Why would they want to align themselves with a demon? Wouldn’t they want to align themselves with an angel or other God-serving minion?
Hilariously convergent evolution is not fail.
We win.
They accidentally the slogan.
I think this sums it up nicely.
THE WHOLE THING???
Wow FAILblog you morons. Why mess with such a huge community of YOUR READERS. What a bunch of idiots. Did you forget that “FAIL” and “WIN” were popularized by /b/? Wow What is this I dont even…
Didn’t know TeaBaggers were huge readers of Fail Blog…because that’s who they appear to be targeting for using apparently well known internet slogans in their advertising.
If any other group in America made this kind of remark, they’d be instantly listed as terrorists — yet when the Tea Party does it, that’s supposed to be fine.
Why?
Because they’re Republican. It’s only terrorism when someone else does it.
So, near as I can tell, it’s a double-FAIL for the Tea Party, a double-FAIL for Anonymous, and a WIN for the troll who’s playing the whole lot of them. Ouch, my head.
Rules 1 and 2 guys…
we are…
Once again proof that the internet is serious business.
“Slip on your reading glasses on and read up on the /b/asics here.” Usage of the word “on” fail.
We are German! That’s why We capitalize Nouns!
Expect you? I expect the TPers will sputter out, right after they manage to lose a few districts that would have gone Rethuglican, except that the TP candidate scared off all the moderates.
I’ve known Anonymous for a while, and had a serious facepalm moment when I saw this. But…
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/102426-Anonymous-Punishes-the-Oregon-Tea-Party
What scares me more is that the Oregon Tea Party reported that they “admire” the tactics of Anonymous. Does that mean we’re going to have another version of Anonymous running around under the Tea Party movement?
rules 1 and 2
Anonymous is 4chan’s ‘Legion’. This probably has soemthing to do with the Black Panthers and KKK. Probably.
4 chan needs to be shut down permanently.
Another reason this is a fail is that it is a christian group literally using “we do not forgive” as part of their slogan.
The American right really take hypocrisy to hilarious new levels
It’s fail because it breaks its own rule by printing “We are anonymous” and then in smaller print it adds. Oregon Tea Party. Thus breaking the anonymous rule.
We exist. But seriously, guys, if the ideals of liberalism could be proven as better than conservatism, then why would anyone be conservative? Because they’re stupid? No. Because, when you get right down to it, the decision to be either a liberal or a conservative is one based on ethics and gut-feeling. Quit hating conservatives. We’re all human beings.
This is stupid. It just means “We are anyone, we are many.” I agree “We are legion” is a bit of a negative connotation, but the anonymous thing? Really??? It’s a stupid sticker but the whole /b/ forum thing… whatever. People have referred to things as anonymous for only a few hundred years…
sorry guess again we are legion refers to being an army not a demon.
oh right almost forgot legion refers to army not demon other wise it would say I am legion not we are legion. we refers to many, I refers to an individual. Demon is singular while army is plural in nature.
Ho ho ho! Haters gonna hate! /b/rofist
They got on the news for this. They [The Oregon Tea Party] had started distributing official merchandise with this slogan on it, and it somehow got onto the interwebz. Shortly thereafter, 4Chan was alerted. So, what did they do? They aimed their trollectric spamcannon at the OTP’s Facebook page. Within hours, the page was filled with a awe-inducing number of meme posts, the likes of which the world has never seen before. I saw it on the news, and I just started cracking up. My parents (who had recorded the news for a different segment) had no idea what was so interesting about it.
Well, I didn’t expect the unforgiving, unforgetting anonymous legion !!
This is a fail, not because the right-wingers stole someone else’s slogan, but because the Oregon Tea Party just dropped themselves into the cacky by “challenging” Anonymous.
It’s amazing to me how many people on this site, that would not exist without 4chan, have no idea about it. OMG I DUN GET IT FAILBLOG SUX …
Buncha whiny noobs, if you don’t get it, move on – don’t come in the comments and cry about it. This is hysterical, esp if you know what happened to these idiots for using /b/’s slogan.
“We are LEGION, for we are MANY” Are they finally admitting to being a collective demonic entity? It’s about time. Also, very scary evil cult-esque.
I call shoop.
But if not… anon FTW. b/rothas unite.
OK so basically there’s a long backstory about a bad idea which, for those who know the story, this photo reflects. That’s very different from a whole story being told by a photo or video, which is really the point of this site. Huge fail fail. Get over yourselves.
The tea party was created by a few anons (sup /TD/)who used the same armory/tool kit developed for chanology and all the other ops.
Never mind that the whole thing has gone horribly, horribly wrong and they now refuse to talk about it.
It’s like rolling pebbles down a steep slope. If you do manage to start an avalanch you still have no control over it.
NOT FAIL!
!LIAF TON
Wow. What a total crapfest. If anyone could outsuck the tea party (not easy) it’s the narcissists at Anonymous. What a bunch of 14-year-old girls. WHO CARES!!!
Too… Many… Commentssss…………
Gah! And here’s another one!!!
