This is a clear win. When all else fails…
Only really stupid people would find a funny side to this. So please, enlighten me.
Have a look through this, particularly the part about coat hangers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-induced_abortion
yikes… not great, bro… but thanks for the info…
TooMuchSugarCoatedCheese, I believe that this is an example of shock humor. It could also be dark humor. Either way, it made me do that laugh I do when I see something that is really messed up in a horrible way and I catch my self laughing and try to suck it back down my throat in an effort to stop said laughter.
Kinda like throwing up in your mouth? Or some other not-great thing.
Or, you know, any singular person who knows slang/alternative usages for common items.
Agreed… Yeah…. but m.. still not a great…
its a fail on top of a fail… you need wire hangers, plastic ones break.
I’ll take your word on this one…
FALSE.
It would have to be wire because wire ones are thin and pliable. Coathanger abortions require manipulating the wire through the tiny cervical opening and then poke around a bit until the pregnancy ruptures and miscarriage is induced. The diameter and rigidity, coupled with the fact that you can’t bend or straighten one, would make them unusable.
Your post is a fail regarding basic female anatomy.
oh ok… so he’s wrong because he said you need wire hangers, when as you explained, you need wire hangers…… …… …… …….
No! More! Wire! Hangers!
So if we extinguish wire hangers from existence will more people get a “proper” abortion?
This isn’t in any way logically connected to what I wrote.
I didn’t say anything about extinguishing anything; I merely stated information. Someone commented on plastic versus metal, and I explained why one would need a metal hanger as opposed to one made from plastic.
That post was devoid of any opinion or recommendation regarding abortion, legal or otherwise.
They are wire, you idiot. (look closer)
You only need wire hangers if you want the ability to hook the fetus and remove it. If stabbing’s your game, then plastic ones will work fine.
Oh, here, I’ll explain it. See, it’s funny because you can get your pregnancy test and tools you’ll need if it’s positive all in one place. Do you understand now?
Oh I understand that the ‘joke’ is implying that the coat hanger could be used to remove the fetus. But what I am saying is only really stupid people would find that funny.
It’s not so much funny, as it is sort of an Oh. My. God. sort of thing.
Nah…it is funny! Hey lil’ fetus, come on out, come out, wherever you are!
With a Hello Kitty sticker.
Yup. You’re going to hell. *shrugs* You’ll be in good company. A lot of us have spots reserved for us there.
I suppose so. But then what’s the point? Anyways enjoy being alone Avis. I’m off and Great is eating, Victo is asleep and whathisname has taken off with all my moneyz.
*pouts* Well crap!
But the absence of other nude males. I understand that’s against your code
Hey, Sugar: I’m awake!!!
You guys are, like, everywhere on failblog, lol. Salut Victo.
failblog isn’t funnyblog, you sir, are too stupid to read.
the funny part would be someone pointing out the coat hanger needs to be metal or it won’t really work.
my husband did that right away.
If you look closely, they are wire, just a thicker, coated wire, with caps on the end. You can see the little hook, at the base of the rack hook, holding it together.
That’s for her comfort, btw.
Oh, and those that find it funny, likely find the fail itself amusing, rather than the idea of home abortions…
^last sentence
not me, i thought the fail was funny and laughed more at the idea of coat hanger abortion botch jobs lol hi-laaaarious
Guess I’m a really stupid person cuz I found it funny. Or maybe some of us are just way too overly sensitive to find funny things funny.
your a square.. lighten up its funny.. its sketchy but funny at the same time… go crawl back in your cave and enjoy your darkness for heavens sake
Ok Buzzkillington
Where’s your sense of humor? The funny thing is the product placement, not abortions. The REAL stupid people here are the ones who can’t laugh when laughter is due…
WHY SO SERIOUS?!?!?
i think you don’t find it funny because you were an abortion survivor
OMG… i laughed harder at this… been laughing for ages.
WOW- took that a little deep… (still funny though)
You must be a breeder or a christian, either way you are lacking a sense of humor and don’t get a lot of things.
Logic fail. I’m a Christian, but I found this hilarious!
Then it’s a good thing that this is on FAILblog not FUNNYblog.
Geez,imagine if the government bans abortions and this becomes a common birth control method.
Whatever gets the job done I guess.
*jeez
Word mon. Word.
It was a common birth control method in the days of my grandmother. After the 8th, 10th… 12th kid or + so, there’s a limit to what extent a woman agrees for her uterus to be used as some sick parody of a clown car.
tech n9ne
Where’s the fail?
I don’t get it
Me neither.
Some help, please? Anyone?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-induced_abortion#Methods
Before decent birth-control was available, backstreet-abortions were seomtimes performed using a hook created from a the kind of metal coathangers you will find in hotel-rooms.
Thus, althought these coathangers are plastic, the association with abortions makes the placement next to pregnancy-test is a somewhat bitter kind of funny.
Is this a U.S-only thing, or did people do this kinda thing worldwide?
Worldwide, and it really isn’t funny. This is the relevant wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsafe_abortion
People still do this kind of think in countries where abortions are illegal.
*thing
I can proofread, really I can.
Then what took so long to catch it? Commentor fail.
Fail 1: Coat hanger upside down on coat hangers when upright.
Fail 2: Coat hangers come out of nowhere (wrong aisle.)
stfu & gtfo
tl;dr
This is obviously fake… what store sells coat hangars like that, upside down? someone just went and put them next to each other. Finding things and setting up lulz isn’t a fail, it was intended it’s only a fail if someone failed… i.e. did it unknowingly.
Some of them are placed upside down because the label can be read that way.
then they would all be that way, this is clearly fake. What store charges 4+ dollars for like 5 wire coat hangars?
What store charges 16 to 25 dollars for a pregnancy test?
the ones the get them in big boxes with multiple tests strips/devices.
That does seem to be a bit steep for coat hangers. Although at Men’s Wearhouse, I remember they were selling those wooden coat hangers for about $6 apiece.
you must not have worked in retail. You have a limited ammount of space and way too much crap to display. Things are not always going to fit in perfect ocd order. Sometimes you tetris that crap in.

My new favorite comment.
This was in Australia, we arn’t as big on organising our products over here, if you can grab it off the shelf and put it in your cart, the job is done.
The fail is that you can do a self abortion with a coathanger.
BAHAHAHAHAHA. HA.
GOP healthcare. Just go to Walgreens, not Planned Parenthood.
You are one sick individual……not one politician has ever suggested such an alternative……
for those that may not realize the joke being commented on:
Quote:
On Saturday’s Fox & Friends, co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade attempted to dismiss the importance of Planned Parenthood funding by claiming that services like pap smears are available “at Walgreens.” In response to an email about the segment, a Walgreens spokesperson told Media Matters that they do not offer such services.
The Fox News hosts’ remarks came during a discussion of the debate over federal funding to Planned Parenthood. During the budget showdown, Republicans attempted to remove federal funding for the women’s health group. Planned Parenthood defenders, such as Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid, have argued that the funding is necessary because it goes to “clinics that provide services like cancers tests that save women’s lives and save money down the road by catching diseases that are expensive to treat.”
On April 9, Doocy and Kilmeade responded to Reid by dismissing Planned Parenthood services:
STEVE DOOCY: And the thing about it that was audacious was the fact that he [Sen. Harry Reid] was talking about Planned Parenthood being this great provider where women can get blood pressure checks, and pap smears, and breast –
BRIAN KILMEADE: Which you can get at Walgreens.
DOOCY: –examinations. Exactly right.
“Neither Walgreens, nor its in-store healthcare clinics, Take Care Clinics, offer pap smears or breast exams,” Take Care Clinic spokeswoman Lauren Nestler told Media Matters after being emailed the segment.
The clinics, which are a subsidiary of Walgreens, offer health services like flu vaccines and blood pressure screening at approximately 350 Walgreens stores.
Fox & Friends’ false claim about pap smears is the latest in a series of attempts by conservatives to dismiss the importance of Planned Parenthood for women’s health services. As Steve Benen noted, “Republicans, like their cable news network, would like the public to believe the preventative health services provided by Planned Parenthood aren’t especially necessary or worthy of funding, since they’re readily available everywhere — as if every block in America has a Starbucks, an ATM, and screenings for cervical cancer. Except, that’s ridiculous, Fox News lying about it, ironically, only helps underscore the value of Planned Parenthood clinics.”
amurana, total pwnage win. +10 internets.
Wrong kind of coathanger.
This is clearly a WIN.
The advil below the pregnancy tests also adds to this. Though it would have been better if it were Tylenol or actual Asprin, since that is still the best way to prevent pregnancy.
wtf, are you 8 years old??? You could eat a bottle of asprin and still get pregnant. (Granted, you would have to get your stomach pumped, but still…
)
They’re proabably referring to the holier-than-thou “all you need to prevent pregancy is an aspirin – held firmly between your knees!” that the abstinence only crowd are fond of, all conveniently forgetting all the sexual positions that can be achieved with knees together.
Now, a vasecotomy with a coathanger could be funny…
Also, its weird because the coat hanger is upside-down if upright.
Did anyone notice a little handicapped icon on the bottom of the hanger? Handifriendly?
I cant realy
No fail.
Those aren’t wire hangers.
Failblog fail, AGAIN!
Er, YES, they ARE wire coathangers. The outside covering does not change what they are on the inside. I have these hangers, and you can bend and twist them any way.
You’d still have trouble getting them through your cervix.
No WIRE HANGERSSSSS!!!!
what’s funny is that there’s probably a wet vac on the floor as the third choice, be sure to use the extension nozzle
when a punch in the stomach or pushing her down the stairs doesnt work. Dont forget drinking Mr Plumber
Obviously staged photo is obvious. Anybody who doesn’t believe this is staged needs to put their bicycle helmet back on and climb back on the short bus.
I think this pic is legit and there is no bus service in my town.
I’m all against abortion… but this is hilarious!! XD
People like you are why women have to resort to coat-hangering themselves in some countries. You should be ashamed.
I’m against abortion on a personal stance, as in I’d rather the pregnancy carried to term and kid given to adoption as the Québécois adopt ALOT of kids.
But I’m for people to have a choice, 100% covered by public healthcare. Good news it’s already that way in Québec.
Teen attacks with Plastic Coat Hanger!
Fetus laughs at its lack of rusty metal!
Its not very effective…
Fetus wins the battle!
Teen blacks out!
It’s not funny that anyone would EVER be deprived of basic medical care. It’s not funny that anyone would ever feel desperate enough to risk their life to abort a fetus. It’s not funny that a woman would be at such a dead end that she would feel the need to put a plastic OR metal ANYthing into her most sensitive and wonderful places. None of that could be funny.
What’s funny: that a store, a corporation trained relentlessly on marketing and product placement couldn’t NOTICE how ridiculous it is to put coat hangers next to pregnancy tests. THAT, my dears, is hilarious.
thats not funny… this s**t is messed up beyond compare…
i believe that photo is taken at woolworths..i work there and the tickets look exactly the same
I think it’s hilarious. Thank god we have things like tubal ligation now so anyone dumb enough to kill their kid in an abortion deserves a coat hanger.
