| I was browsing YouTube the other day, and I came upon this 'failblog' phenomenon that seems to have sprung up overnight. Then I found a video by them named something along the lines of 'Explanation Fail', which turned out to be a sketch by two comedians who air new material every Thursday at 7:28pm on our national television channel. And it was absolutely dripping with satire. Content with the idea that Americans are god-awful at humour, I presumed the irony would be lost on them. But it wasn't even a funny sort of realisation - the idea that there are people this poorly-read, and this retarded out there, and I mean a fucking lot of people, hurt me deep down in my stomach. Long story short, the word is grossly overused in appalling circumstances by people who can't see the forest through the trees. I'd say it was cheapening the affair, but the expression honestly wasn't funny in the first place. |

Agreed.
The word "fail" only is used effectively when used sparingly. |

| Fail. Don't worry, it's more rampant in other places. There are worse noobs out there. |
