No. Just, no.
It’s just not great.
But it didn’t actually shatter?
THIS.
Shatterproof =/= unbreakable.
Someone should get some of these submitters a dictionary.
Get this:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=define+shatterproof
“resistant to shattering or splintering; “shatterproof automobile windows”.”
You were saying?
Mea culpa. My personal auto-correct (brain) misinterpreted your inequality sign as equality.
But the product implies that it wont break before it bends, so it is still a fail because it didn’t have bend marks. If you only care about the technical meanings, then I can correctly say that your computer is indestructible, because the definition of indestructible is that it cannot be destroyed, and the definition of destroyed means “to reduce (an object) to useless fragments, a useless form, or remains, as by rending, burning, or dissolving; injure beyond repair or renewal; demolish; ruin; annihilate.” (dictionary.com) But whatever you do to your computer, the remains are still “usable” in some way, and possibly reparable through countless steps. But what I actually imply by saying that your computer is indestructible is that it will always function AS A COMPUTER.
Oh bob you changed your email address, that’s sad.
…. Yeah. Um. Except that when something like this is labeled as shatterproof, it just means that if it does break, it will break into large chunks (not the teeny tiny shards that usually come out of breaking glass) or some similar thing. So… in this context, shatterproof =/= unbreakable.
Actually, shatter-proof just means that it does not break into millions of pieces upon impact, as happens with glass. Shatter-proof things still break, just in a safer way.
That’s not shattered.
shat·ter [shat-er]
verb (used with object)
1. to break (something) into pieces, as by a blow.
2. to damage, as by breaking or crushing: ships shattered by storms.
3. to impair or destroy (health, nerves, etc.): The incident shattered his composure.
4. to weaken, destroy, or refute (ideas, opinions, etc.): He wanted to shatter her illusions.
verb (used without object)
5. to be broken into fragments or become weak or insubstantial.
Lol, I was going to say the same thing. It’s like a shatter proof ruler (the bendy ones). You always get an idiot who twists it and bends it until it breaks and he says he wins. But the shatter proof means it won’t shatter into thousands of tiny pieces that’ll shoot into his stupid eyes.
Shatter-proof means that it won’t break into tiny fragments, yes. BUT your dictionary definitions aren’t supporting that.
“to break into pieces”.
This is broken into pieces. At least two. It says nothing about tiny pieces.
Yeah, that’s not shattered.
Hey FailBlog, you should feature yourself for this.
The fails are submitted by users. This one in particular, nowonder they didn’t post their name beside “Submitted by”
no wonder
now on der
noderwer
now on der where?
No underwear
NAKED TIME!!!!!!! WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Yup, technically it didn’t shatter. Fail on you.
Someone intelligent needs to approve these submissions.
right, cause this is where intelligent people can be found.
^ This
Wut?
no number 5, it did certainly weaken it having a hole in it. so it did get shattered.
still no.. you fail
number 5 is “used without object”
“Used without object” means, for instance, “the ornament shattered”. Derp.
William Shatter strikes again!
And my first thought was this isn’t the ornament the box was intended for, it says sports collector series, so unless snow became a sport I think this Broken ornament is not what was intended.
Oh hey look, a shatter proof ornament that did, in fact, not shatter. When are you going to get someone with half a brain to screen things for the front page?
my roomate’s aunt makes $78/hour on the internet. She has been out of work for 8 months but last month her check was $8414 just working on the internet for a few hours. Read this site CalmCash. com
Yes, but I don’t have the body for fetish chat cams
A few hours???
She worked 107 hours, 52 minutes and 18.5 seconds last month.
Still only half-time.
She actually got that money from me. *wink*
Shatterproof Unbreakable
That was supposed to read that Shatterproof does not equal Unbreakable

What a mess
This town’s in tatters
I’ve been shattered
My brains been splattered
Splattered all over Manhattan
Sorry,
Failblog fail,, it didn’t shatter.
‘Shatterproof’ means that if it breaks, it doesn’t send little splinters all over the place. Easy and safe cleanup.
Broken does not equal shattered.
It didn’t shatter, it broke. So yes, it delivered what it promised.
In before someone says it didnt actually shatter.
ummm…. something about it looks odd…. photoshopped?
