Nope, nothing wrong with it. but you might see the polarity between how down society is (drugs, abuse, suicide a.s.o) and on Sunday you’ll hear about the “joyous future”. I don’t know, but if there are all these problems, i don’t know what would be joyous in future there… (except of soup! just kidding).
All the problems addressed by these programs originate from people who do not see the joyous future. Showing them a joyous future will help them overcome their adversities.
That’s not necessarily true. In fact I’d argue that most of those don’t originate at all with not seeing a joyous future, though they all end with that view. Every single one of those things (excluding, mayhap, the abused spouses, since that’s for the abused not the abusers) generally have underlying, often physical, reasons for their existence. It’s not so simple as “Oh, the future sucks” and then it happens. Please don’t talk about things you clearly don’t understand. /srsbsnss on Failblog
You are being very presumptuous in several ways. If I were to follow your example in your comment I could overlay a selfrighteous interpretation of your comment and then arrogantly proclaim you just don’t know what you’re talking about so you should leave it to this particular internet stranger. “You’re wrong because you disagree with me” is not really a very good argument.
Well, a certain gruffness does come from age, at least if you’re not one of the fortunate sons with silver careers and golden parachutes. And when things go really wrong, especially after you’ve worked hard and reached a certain age where you were told you should expect to be somewhere besides laid off because your factory moved to China, well, you kind of get the attitude that the future is simply not for you.
Apparently this needs to be said again: This is not real. It is a piece of art by painter and sculptor Erika Rothenberg. It doesn’t really work as a fail because the irony is intentional.
This is the second time I have seen this “Fail” despite the fact that it was clearly acknowledged last time that this is actually a piece of art hanging in a gallery in the US.
I see the humorous contrast, but at the same time, why shouldn’t they celebrate a joyous future? They are working to create one, afterall… I say not fail.
Hey! what’s wrong with suop on saturday? I like soup!
Soup is great! Especially on Saturday!
Saturday is soup?
I believe he said “suop”.
Thursday is drugs? Great! Not really, kids… say ‘no’ to drugs!
All the more for the adults!
Drugs are for great adults too… lol
Not the hope and change you were looking for, eh?
Hehe, nice!
Is there anything wrong in helping those in their lowest times?

It’s not even the first post of this for 2011:

Memories here sure are bad.
Gracie, where has Avis, Silver and Victo gone? It’s been months since we were all together, talking complete nonsense, night after night.
They’ll be back. Victo and I can’t spend too much time apart :’(
Following on from Gracie, you are also welcome to A-Up-Over-Your-Sineoh and stop moaning. It’s your call bro.
This is the second time I have seen this “Fail” despite the fact that it was clearly acknowledged last time that this is actually a piece of art hanging in a gallery in the US.
So as a fail, it’s a fail of a fail.
someone insert fight club joke now.

congratulations, this is the 10,000 repost of this unfunny drek.
Saying no to drugs is a future, more joyous a drug addict can think of.
Sadly.
This is a piece of art at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago not an actual bulletin board.
Jeremy thanks for pointing this out! I have view this work of “art” a million times and have viewed it on here almost as many times!
