Fail: The Video

GiggleSugar — Thu, 08 May 2008 08:12:25 -0700

Failure is the new success, at least on the Internet. Even if you don't watch this whole thing all the way through, definitely watch until you get to my favorite part. That would be when the woman kicks her would-be mugger's ass on the elevator. I love that surveillance video footage! Owned, indeed. (For more fail-related posts, click here.)

Here's the unedited original with some grody animal acts I figured I'd spare you.

Embrace the FAIL

You win some, you lose some. If we did everything perfectly, the gal next to us wouldn't get that oh so refreshing mid-party shower. We'd never see some dude's head stuck in some other dude's underpants. We would never get electrocuted during a drunken night out on the town. Failure is part of the fun, you see. (Want more failure?

Failure: The Only Option?

GiggleSugar — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 04:00:00 -0800

Whoever compiled these images needs an attitude adjustment. They're not content to see the world simply as a glass half empty, but rather as a glass whose liquid has spilled all over your head, broken, and with its shattered shards in your naked feet. Having said that-enjoy! Source

It would be sooo hard for me not to do the same thing!

Product of the Day: Fail Stickers

GiggleSugar — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 08:07:54 -0700

The folks who created these great fail stickers suggest one possible use: If you "stumble across an epic fail," instead of just taking a picture of it and putting it on line, just slap fail sticker on it! I don't know how much I trust these guys, though. They put a fail sticker on a dude with an amazing mustache. Fail.

What Should Be the Word of the Decade?

TresSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:30:31 -0800

Yesterday we revealed that the New Oxford American Dictionary chose "unfriend" as the word of the year. Many of you thought it should be something like "sexting," or "de-friend" at least.

Since we're headed toward a new decade, this story got me thinking about which lexicon newcomer would make a good word of the decade. BellaSugar suggested a Bushism like "misunderestimated," or perhaps "text" or "FAIL." Based on the high number of depressing things that happened this decade, I'd say "FAIL" makes an excellent candidate.

You all seem to have a good read on which words have "lex-appeal," so tell me what you would choose as the word of the decade.

Can Women Have It All?

TresSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:30:17 -0800

A successful career. A loving marriage. Well-loved and well-behaved children. The promise of women's liberation holds that women can have all of this if that's what they want. But one teacher wrote in the Daily Mail yesterday that telling a young girl that she can reach the top of the career ladder and raise a family is passing on nothing more than a fairy tale. This not-so-modern woman thinks:

"The young women we are sending out into the world believe they can have it all - and, if they don't, they will have failed. And what a tragedy that is, because the truth is that modern women can't have it all. They may succeed in their careers and they may succeed as mothers, but to do both at the same time? No, that is not possible without making huge sacrifices which many will find simply too much."

Obviously life is full of compromises and trade-offs, but I don't think that means women have to choose between success outside the home and success inside the home. With a little balance, I think women, just like men, can manage both. What do you think?

Website du Jour: Stop Making That Duckface

TresSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:00:00 -0800

You know you've seen it. You might even be guilty of perpetrating it. I'm talking about what the site Anti-duckface.com calls the "duck face," which they describe as something between a kissy face and a pout.

Anti-duckface seems to blame MySpace for hosting duckfaces, admonishing its pouters to, "Stop doing it. It isn't sexy."

All this prompted me to ask: why duckface? My theory is that it's a mock sexy face. People want to look sexy, but they also want to appear modest, so duckface is some weird (failed) compromise. In any case, here's to hoping this is the first nail in the coffin of duckface. It's time to end this blight to humanity.
