Umm, can this go on failblog as well, as PrintScreen fail? Did they take the picture with a digital camera? lol
Lol, it actually looks like they did.
“OMG OMG I see a fail! I think ill get out my cybershot and take a picture of the computer screen! Omg it looks so cool! Omg ill post it on failbooking! Omg it got featured! Omg omg omg omg! Im so cool and professional!”
Seriously people?
Even I knew how to do that, and I didn’t even know what grimace meant.
That’s what I thought!
first
First fail of the comments, anyway.
I can’t tell what he meant to say
He’s referring to the glasses as “babies.”
Omg had to read it like 3 times before i actually got it. Thats something right there. I really thought he meant babies and then I realized he meant his glasses. lol thats a good one.
It doesn’t mean that it was good if you had to read it three times. Just means you’re stupid.
So fail it’s win…
So did someone take a physical picture of the monitor or something? That’s the real fail here
learn 2 print screen, loser
learn to use the word spell, idiot!
printing is not quite the same! you can spell stuff on your cool screen, but try not to PRINT them on there!
It looks a funny picture, It seems to half of a screenshot and half of a picture taken by a camera…could be a screenshot fail?
Not everyone knows where to find an on-screen camera.
still does not make any sense why it is half screenshot and half digital camera picture. It could be that the submitter took the digital camera picture and Failbooking at the screenshot of the display picture, do not see why though. Never mind there must be logical expanation,
why do you need an on screen camera? just about every keyboard has a “print screen” key which takes a screenshot, just paste it into your favorite editor and save.
yeah that’s what i was thinking, ‘on screen camera’ never heard of one, just print screen.
why does this look like a printout?
I think that whomever sent it in has no clue about doing a screen-cap on their system. INW: they’re n00bs so they just took a pic. I’m surprised that they figured out how to get the pic onto their ‘puter.
such a fail at screenshot
Screenshot abilities fail
2 4 1
It looks like someone took a picture of their screen with a camera, then whited stuff out. Epic fail.
What did this person mean to say?
“Getting glasses today. Oh yes, THESE babies will be sitting on my face for good.”
…
Thanks! That makes so much more sense.
@ Rachel He means his glasses will be on his face for good..
reply fail
fail.
Hiding original poster’s name fail also.
Hate to be a spoilsport, but can’t it be that they were on a ‘puter they were unfamiliar with? If you gave me a Mac, and little time to fiddle with it, I would have no freaking idea how to take a screenshot. Or maybe they just didn’t have the time to edit/save the screenshot, so they grabbed their cell phone/digital camera and took a quick shot? C’mon, someone provided us with free lulz, is it really necessary to noobbash them?
Btw I just got new glasses recently. They came with a holder, 2 years coating warranty and a wiping cloth, but no babies. I feel ripped off.
Thants what i was thinking. And why does EVERYONE have to say ‘did they take this with a camera?’. Uh no shit fucktard, every comment on here has already pointed that out!
Thants a weird way to spell that’s…
Believe me, if they had time to take a picture with a digital camera, then to connect it to their computer, then edit it, then submit it, they certainly had the time to simply press the print screen button.
It also seems that this goes back a while as it says January 13th; it doesn’t say 8 hours ago, not 3 minutes ago, but January 13th so because the newest comment was posted at 10 pm, 11 hours after the status updat , it means they found it AT LEAST more than 24 hours later. It also happens to be 3 months ago. Now maybe the picture is old, but still, how hard can it be to take a screenshot?
It is funny, but taking a screenshot this way also is. Call it a double fail in this submission.
Oh, and the name at the end isn’t blanked out. Just saying.
I expect people to reply with stuff like “get a life phag” or ” you have way too much time on your hands”, but really this took nothing of my time. So there.

I find it funny you say it’s 3 months ago when really it’s not even two months ago.
And even so I don’t know why it’s such a big deal they took a picture. There’s a lot of jackasses that I know that don’t know how to screenshot.
Geez it’s ONLY two months old. They TOTALLY didn’t have time to google how to take a screenshot. I feel like such an idiot now. Thank you.
And you’re all telling me it’s actually harder to take screenshots with re oh-so-user-friendly-idiot-proof mac that you absolutely have to own because it’s sooo much better than a regular pc running windows?
No sarcasm nor irony in this post. At all. Really.
Double posted. Sorry.
Make it triple with this one.
Okay, let’s posit the following. A classmate of mine lets me use his Macbook to check my mail before class. I check my mail, and my facebook of course. I find some lulzworthy status someone posted. I have to run to class, I don’t have time to figure out how to make a screenshot on a macbook (I checked, they don’t have a printscreen button), let alone to edit and submit it. But I’m also afraid the priceless status will be deleted by the time I get home (this is the glasses guy’s last status, it’s reasonable to speculate that he might not have logged in since he posted it). So what do I do? I grab my cell phone and take a shot (takes about 10 seconds). Then I forget about the whole thing. Three months later, when I’m sorting my cell phone’s memory card, I find this picture, edit and submit it in the usual manner.
There you have it: the Speculative Story of the Camera Screenshot. I know it’s stretching, and Occam’s razor cross-referenced with the statistics about human stupidity (11 out of 10 humans are stupid) says I’m wrong, but I’m a gentleman, which means anyone who provides me with free lulz deserves the benefit of the doubt from me.
Also, you have way too much time on your hands. And yeah, me too.
The sheer stupidity of not being able to hit a print screen button ruined any potential lulz.
Well hell, if you hit PrtScr in windows you’re either expecting it to do a certain thing, or you’re just idly exploring the keyboard, so it’s not really a critical thing. Don’t they – when connected to a Mac – act as the “missing” F13,14 and 15 keys that sit in their place on a mac board?
And if I was using a macintosh, particularly one that was connected to the net (hence facebook) and I wanted to do a screen grab, it’d be New Browser Window, http://www.google.com, “Mac OSX screenshot”, enter. I’d find out how to do it fairly quickly. Or look in the actual help system. The fail here is not that the person who took the photo didn’t know how to do it, but they didn’t conceive that it could be done (never mind that every other entry on failbooking is itself a screengrab) or try to find out how to do it even though – if they’re looking at facebook – the collected knowledge of almost the entire world is at their fingertips.
The end result is the same either way. You take five seconds to google “Mac OSX Screenshot”, I take five seconds to click the camera button on my phone. Either way, you end up with a file ready for cropping.
And who says they even took the picture for submission to this site? Maybe he took the picture in order to share it with some friends, and sending a picture message was easier than texting directions on how to find it? Maybe two months later, he then stumbled upon it again on his phone, and thought, hey, this was funny, I’ll bet it’ll get a laugh on Failbooking.com.
Now this would actually make sense. If I wanted to keep this for myself I would take a screenshot, BUT I figure I’ll have more chance of stumbling upon it on my phone. Maybe his reflex for personal use is snapping a picture with his phone .However if it’s a digital camera it’s a whole other story, unless he always carries it in his pocket..
Anyway I should stop thinking about that.
Yeah, this is all just conjecture, and we’re now just investigating it far too deeply. Particularly coming up with overly elaborate reasons why they couldn’t have taken what is, to most people on this site, the path of least resistance.
(prtscr > winkey > r > mspaint > enter > ctrl-v > position paste position to crop top left corner > move crop handle to reasonable lower right position > blank out names > ctrl-s > type name > choose .JPG or .PNG > enter … all that needing about 30 seconds as most of the steps happen in quick succession, those required for getting it off a phone and editing at least as long winded if not far more so)
Besides, if you’d just gone and found that awful quality snap on your phone and you still thought it OMG SO HILARIOUS that it was worth putting on here – why not take a quick dig in your FB archive (they never get rid of ANYTHING. Trust me. I’ve had extremely bored people get down to a picture post on a board about 3 years ago that I also commented on, drop their own tuppence on it, and I’ve got a notification that’s returned me to that ancient thread) and get the original.
Or hell, screencap a similar looking one and spend three minutes in Paint faking it. It’s a standard font and size, so long as you’re not completely ham-handed it’ll look ok.
plus if they’d just posted the photo with a couple of simple black lines over the names, it might not have been quite so obvious and awful; the fact that it’s been extensively cropped down and edited with whiter-than-white (making the darkness of the pic more obvious) is what’s most remarkable…
That’s pretty kinky!!
Macs do not have a button, but they do have the ability…this is sad.
OMG! Babies on his face? How DARE this site put something so disgusting on FB?? Somebody should alert the police! Protect the children! Protect the children! Protect the children! PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I believe that children are our future!!!!!
lol,do i detect sarcasm here?
NO NOT AT ALL
Some of you are a bunch of fucktards. Yes, I know how to take a screen shot but who gives a fuck about how it was posted. For all we know, it’s a an illiterate computer user. most of you are pimpled face fatsos anyway….
lol, The biggest fail about this is that the guy took the picture with a camera…
After 7 hours of other people posting that, I sure am glad you thought it needed to be posted again.
After 6.999 hours of people pointing out that other people have posted that, I sure am glad you thought it needed to be posted again.
I took a screenshot, and with no post processing software available and not trusting Failbook to white out the names I found the perfect soloution, Wite-Out® (youngsters can google it).
Painted out the names on the screen but they were still on the screenshot so I snapped a shot with my camera. Problem solved.
Now who’s a loser?
You.
Windows comes with it’s own ‘post processing software’
You. It’s called MS Paint. It’s easy to use and has the capability of creating white boxes. It’s been around for about 25 years so if you don’t know how to use it, then you are a loser.
You painted wite-out onto a computer screen?
Hey, the solution works, you just have to clean the screen a little more often because the delete/backspace keys don’t work work with Wite-Out®
You fail man.. you’re above the line yourself..
I think Failbooking did the other half of the onscreen shot…So it could be a real fail x]
For Mac n00bs:

I’d rather be a “faq” than an idiot. At least I’d get sex out of it.
How do I screenshot web? D8<

Does anyone else notice the Delete button?
