Any one of those would have been unremarkable, two would still have been unimpressive, but packing three unintentional double entendres into such a short block of text is quite an achievement.
You’re right. The difference is, adults don’t go around berating Failblog pictures on the internet; they have the common sense to know where immaturity belongs and to let it be. Elitists, however…
Oh, so I am a homophobe now. I guess I should stop hanging out with half my friends. All of which who would laugh at this. I think you are the one who has the problems. You must be a homophobe also as you were able to look at it and see the gay jokes. If you were truly not homophobic at all you would have looked at this and not gotten the joke. Note that I am using your assumption that all of the people who though this were funny are Homophobic. Since we have established that I will end by saying you are just an Elitist homophobe who turns his nose up at this only so you can keep believing you are better everyone else.
Yeah, sorry. If you want to play the “I’m a better ally to my gay friends than you are” game, that’s fine, but I assure you my gay friends would find this hilarious.
Knowing when it’s okay to laugh is part of knowing the difference between right and wrong.
Actually, I see NO homophobia ANYWHERE. And all you need is a dirty mind, not immaturity. And you are obviously a girl since you think that testosterone causes it as well.
This is a shopping arcade found in the heart of Adelaide, Australia. I walk past it quite often while in the city. First time I saw the sign as a teenager I laughed my ass off. Triple fail indeed
This isn’t a fail, there is no way to predict the way English will be changed in the future, for example if suddenly “failers” became synonymous with homosexual in 30 years time, would we assume everybody that ever visited this website was homosexual reading other’s blogs… I some how doubt that. Gay originally meant (and still means) happy so this is actually Happy’s arcade, not homosexual’s arcade.
The fact that “Gay” is used in the possessive form, would imply that it is a name. Such that James Cumming erected an arcade in 1885 and named it after someone with the last name of Gay. So likely “gay” in this context does not mean “happy”. “Gay” as an adjective could not possess an arcade.
To all those standing up for gays out there. Come on, it’s funny. If it would’ve said “Girl’s arcade” or “Jennifer’s arcade”, whatever, it would have been more than a trifecta, m’kay thanks bye.
Your statment implies that you enjoy making fun of both gay people and women. If this is so, I recommend seeking professional help. If not, your grammar fails at communication, I recommend seeking further education.
Your statement implies that you enjoy attempting to correct the morals of people on the internet. If this is so, I recommend seeking professional help to cure your need to attempt impossible feats. If not, you clearly do not understand that your endeavor is futile, and I recommend that you lurk moar.

See, I thought this was win, because it wasn’t funny when it was created, but it is now. It’s like a joke that was a century ahead of its time…just waiting around for people to get it.
Gay is actually a last name. In Québec, we spell it Guay. I feel sorry for those who have to deal with all the stupidity aimed at them for being named Gay or Guay.
Gay only meant happy, or a persons name at that time. Cummings is a common enough name as well. What is the manufacturer of the diesel engines used in dodge full size pick ups again, oh yeah Cummings.
I suppose you do find a point in the fact that the word “gay” describes a type of behavior involving masculine sexuality. One does not have to make a judgement of any kind upon the lifestyle to appreciate the relatedness of the three terms.
The only reason I’d *sign, sign, pass* on this would be the relative baseness and immaturity of the humor and the likelihood for trollish commentary to abound, no doubt leading to hurt feelings for some.
The only people doing anything close to trolling here are those saying the fail sucks because its “immature”. You’re on fail blog for crying out loud. This place used to be where you go to laugh at people getting hurt, and things haven’t changed much.
So…what exactly were you expecting? Someone to come along and comment “Haha this shows that homosexuality is wrong”? No, really, I’m trying to imagine.
I’m also gay, and yes, I did laugh at this when I saw it. So please, don’t try to speak for all gay people. Whining pricks like you who immediately drop the homophobe card whenever you get the chance, are the reason people are getting so sick of gay people. I’m one of you, and I’M sick of you.
On a side note, even if the point you were trying to make wasn’t totally whiny and annoying, the correct term in this sense would be heterosexist, not homophobic.
I may not be gay, but it seems most of the people saying this isn’t funny aren’t gay themselves but In fact are just elitists who don’t laugh at things because they want to believe they are better than everyone else.
There once was a genie with a ten foot wiener
And he showed it to the lady next door
She thought it was a snake
And hit it with a rake
And now its only five-foot-four
Actually, our society is the fail. When this marble was engraved, none of these words would have evoked a derogatory response. Don’t blame the people of the past for our current stupidity.
Just because it wasn’t funny when it was created doesn’t mean it isn’t funny now. Get off your pedestal and get down with the rest of the idiots you speak of because you are obviously one of them.
In 50 years when someone posts the name Dacling as a FAIL, will you not be the least offended by it? I’m simply saying that society is changing in many ways, including to stoop so far as to make fun of people’s names. In its day, this cornerstone wasn’t a mistake in any way–I’m simply saying we’ve made it that way. No need for the outburst.
I don’t see how this is homophobic. Is it saying anything derogatory of homosexuals? I’m sure that no-one ever accuses a fail of being heterophobic… ¬¬
And to all you idiots who associate the word “arcade” with video games (as in an amusement arcad) in this instance it has nothing to do with that. An arcade is a covered, arched (where we get “arc” from) walkway. Imagine a mall with an arched roof.
sign, sign, pass
*sign, sign, pass*
Don’t be so HARD on this fail guys…

Dance dance revolution techno viking remix.
Skeet Fighter.
ahhh! too many gay jokes at once 0.o
Any one of those would have been unremarkable, two would still have been unimpressive, but packing three unintentional double entendres into such a short block of text is quite an achievement.
Consequences will never be the same!
Now that’s what you’d call…
*puts on glasses*
A Hard Combo.
YYEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
i don not doubt it. AT. ALL
Ah, the combined smell of testosterone, adult sexual immaturity syndrome and homophobia. Fail at being a fail.
stfu.
Ah, the smell of tryhard elitism.
Place your snubby upturned nose *here* and SNIFF.
danny win
There’s a difference between being an adult and being an elitist. If you don’t know the difference, then you aren’t an adult.
You’re right. The difference is, adults don’t go around berating Failblog pictures on the internet; they have the common sense to know where immaturity belongs and to let it be. Elitists, however…
You win. This is only a trifecta of fail if you’re a homophobe. Why are so many people on the internet so proud of being immature and narrow minded?
Most of my friends are gay and even they think the sign is hilarious.
Oh, so I am a homophobe now. I guess I should stop hanging out with half my friends. All of which who would laugh at this. I think you are the one who has the problems.

why did u all waste your time replying to all of this?
then why do you even bothered to reply to th…oh wait, sh*t
Is it lonely up there on your pedestal?
Ah, the combined syndrome of oversensitivity, political correctness and being new to the internet.
*combined smell
FFFFFFUUUUUUU
also, the game
Actually, I see NO homophobia ANYWHERE. And all you need is a dirty mind, not immaturity. And you are obviously a girl since you think that testosterone causes it as well.

I live in Radelaide too, I’ve seen this place a billion times when I go to Rundle Mall, but still can’t help but giggle. And I go to the Mall a lot,
*highfive for location!*

Congratulations!
that’s in Adelaide Arcade

*sigh*
Remember the good old days when you could use the words “gay” and “erected” and “cumming” all in the same sentence without giggles and snickers?
Yeah, me neither.
Actually, I do. In fact it can be done even today among the people I hang out with.
Presumably, you enjoy a shared absence of humor with those friends.
Believe it or not, there is humor that exists seperate from sexual innuendo.
Of course…but good luck trying to penetrate Elle with that thought, tereglith.
lol, “penetrate”.
And I’m sure there’s plenty of that here on failblog.
Finally, an arcade thats gayer than Aladdin’s Castle.
What kind of video games did they have back then?
the erection is cumming’s, and its gay’s.
like, how bout, wack a mole.. sputune ball… tiddly twinks!
I’m gay, it’s hella funny.
Y’all need to get over yourselves.
in recent days the update frequency of this blog is inflationary high …
*sings* AND I FEEEL FIIIIIIINEEEEEE
this belongs in the hall of fail
@ R3sistance (and others): if you “explain” everything, humour will be dead in a few years.
GAY ERECTED CUMMING JAJAJA LOL
HE FOUND THE SECRET WORDS!
See, I thought this was win, because it wasn’t funny when it was created, but it is now. It’s like a joke that was a century ahead of its time…just waiting around for people to get it.
Wouldn’t it be four fails? He’s an architect.
architects make more money than you ever will
But that doesn’t change the fact that they are gay.
He wasn’t always an architect, he started out as a draper, which is another word for interior designer, or homosexual.
Gay is actually a last name. In Québec, we spell it Guay. I feel sorry for those who have to deal with all the stupidity aimed at them for being named Gay or Guay.
This HAS to be intentional..
In 1885 Australia…probably not very likely.
Umm… I believe this sign is in England, actually. I’ve seen it. Or one exactly like it.
Gay only meant happy, or a persons name at that time. Cummings is a common enough name as well. What is the manufacturer of the diesel engines used in dodge full size pick ups again, oh yeah Cummings.
I’d consider this a WIN!
May it be an erection that stands for all time!
I would say this is more of a win.
Mmm… that’s an arcaid I wanna visit with my brothers. I can imagine playing with all those nice hard joysticks!
Wow. That’s the Gold Standard of FAIL.
Not a fail … not unless you’re a 12 year old boy. *Rolls eyes*

Why would a person who is truly “better” be on failblog?
Possibly to watch the ‘lesser’ people fail and feel better about themselves?
FINALLY someone posted this on Failblog. Well done fellow Adelaidian!! Walking past this sign everyday I was always too lazy to bring a camera.
There once was a genie with a ten foot wiener
And he showed it to the lady next door
She thought it was a snake
And hit it with a rake
And now its only five-foot-four
You fail at limericks forever.
And thats why you are the propietor of this establishment.
This isn’t a fail. This is awesome!
This isn’t a fail. This is awesome!
Yep, we have Gay’s arcade and two large balls in the middle of our mall. Does anyone feel something Freudian going on or what?

WIN
Oh man, I live in Adelaide and I walk past this sign at least a couple of times a week – never fails to inject a little ray of LOL into my day.
I don’t see how this is homophobic. Is it saying anything derogatory of homosexuals? I’m sure that no-one ever accuses a fail of being heterophobic… ¬¬
I had a picture of this on my phone for years. Love it. It never crossed my mind to submit it here.
Too many bigoted comments on this FAIL, “chill Winston”
Radelaide!!! WOOO! lol
Here, we see the rare “Hat trick fail” in it’s natural habitat.
this is in adelaide! i live in adelaide and walk past it at least twice a week in the mall. haha
THAT had to be on purpose!
lol exceedingly common proper last name fail.
gay
erected
cumming
that is alot of fail for one picture
OMG … that is a lot of fail for so little words *lol*
Take THAT Westboro!
Yes, it’s in Adelaide in Rundle Mall.
And to all you idiots who associate the word “arcade” with video games (as in an amusement arcad) in this instance it has nothing to do with that. An arcade is a covered, arched (where we get “arc” from) walkway. Imagine a mall with an arched roof.
Now consider yourselves edumicated.
i was going to say something…
I think this should be a total win.
You know… if you erase some words it could say: Gay´s erected cumming…XD
They also have a drag queen shop in this arcade, apparently. I’m too scared to ask where. I keep looking…
Hey guys!!!!! guys!!!!!!!!!! guys!!!!! I got a funny comment…..
wait for it…..
wait for it……….
THATS WHAT SHE SAID!
XD
It’s innocent funny little things like this that make Adelaide so amiable. <3
Does anybody realize that a “trifecta” is a kind of horse race?
