Let’s just say good catch with this one. It’s always good to expose breakdowns in the programming. It’s not bad to point out, it makes people work better next time.
Makes sense… He looks, sees the obvious, which is what I saw. I came to the same “this was all planned out so I can be clever for Failbook” conclusion.
“and think this makes me sad by the guy posting this”
That was a little more complicated, but I believe he left out the “I.” So it would be more like:
I think this makes me sad, by this guy posting this.
So, he’s saying the guy posting what he (Boykes) clearly thinks is faked, makes Boykes sad.
Yeah, it was probably staged, but that doesn’t make it any less funny. Granted, it’s only really worth a chuckle, but it’s still better than some of the stuff being posted lately.
Somehow I think that you think this is funny, and try to pull me to that side and say that this is too funny to unfriend. Right? Now, stop it, this is one of the biggest fails for failbook
Boykes…..you are a nitwit. You just keep going on about how it was made up and how failbook failed. I will say this once for you since you are slow……Fail….or failing….does not mean accidental, it just means unsuccesful……lets wait a minute for boykes to catch up…..So that means, even though this was a pre-planned fail, failbook can post it………do you know why?? Because failbook posts fails…….not just mistakes and accidents, all fails they find funny…..this one is pretty funny, not a knee slapper by anymeans, but still funny……so what have we learned?? If you fail something on purpose….it is still a fail, hence, failbook can still post the “fail” without failing themselves. Congratulations, you’ve just passed Commen sense 101
I’m not a sir (Maven is female)…and when the post is self-important and condescending I believe spell-check is in order.
What would have been a more substantive post in your opinion? Naming myself after another poster and professing my love and devotion while avoiding adding anything constructive to the comment stream?
The fail is actually amusing – whether or not it was purposeful, but If you are going to write a “soapbox” style post – there are a number of browsers available that check your spelling for you as you type.
Maven (aka Mavin) isnt necesarily female….it just refers to someone whose a connossier or an expert in their field….u appear to be an expert in correcting teh persons of an insignificant website, either to bulls**t, procrastinate, or troll….but i digress…FanoftheDarkside would be correct in calling u sir, because there is no mention of gender in any of ur useless rants.

Again – I will tell you as I have told others – if you are going to hop up on a soapbox and try to prove a point – spell-check.
I am by no means a “grammar nazi” – I never said I was perfect – and by calling my posts useless without even reading the others on this page it makes you seem far more a troll than I. I’m actually a horrible speller – I just make sure to use spell check first so I don’t undermine my own point.
Connotatively – the word Maven implies a female gender as discussed in this article:
As with most language – context and connotation often matter much more than a true definition.
If you presume to know my posts so well (in which I have made my gender abundantly clear) – then you obviously looked up my profile to have access to that information – upon which it is clearly visible that I am female.
Run along little troll – that’s all the food for today.
I really don’t give a rat’s ass about the picture, but I read that article in detail as I loving anything having to do with the study of linguistics. The irony is, the article disagrees with you, and the general conception of people that use the word as you do. As having some experience with this word and it’s etymology, I can tell you it was used as a derogatory term more often than as a compliment. It was sort of like calling someone a know-it-all. While now used ironically to express appreciation of someone’s knowledge and skill with a particular matter or interaction (e.g. ‘Thanks for help me do my taxes Becky, you are such a little IRS know-it-all!’) this term (know-it-all) was originally more of an insult (e.g. ‘Don’t say anything about the war around Ben, he’s a politics know-it-all.’). Although the term has lost some, if not all, of it’s bite and bile, it is still frowned upon to use towards someone unless you mean it in the most endearing of ways. Also, Mavens, again being a derogatory term, were usually self proclaimed. They would declare themselves the expert on something, but prove to have only a basic knowledge of it’s principals. Much like you with reading, and comprehension. Why would I say something so mean? Well why tell you, when I can TELL you!!!! (See below, and yes, that repetition was intentional.)
The following is quoted from your precious but ultimately misused article. Enjoy reading it again, this time, hopefully, with a little bit more venom to confront the words head on, rather than hide behind them from a distance.
“Why would someone think maven is gender specific, applied to women, not men?
It’s a fair enough question, but one we’re ill-equipped to answer, since we’ve never thought of maven—meaning “expert; one who is experienced or knowledgeable”—as female specific.”
The term ‘we’ve’ that you see there in the second paragraph of the text was not, in-fact, the usage applied to a woman’s false or harvested hair extensions. No, in this case the term they used applied to themselves, Merriam-Webster. What they were explaining was why SOME people ONLY associate the word with applying to the female gender. So in other words, your usage of the word would be and should be considered incorrect. The above person who pointed this out, while he may have had slippery fingers and lack of special check, was correct in his general fact presentation.
I hope, madam, you and others understood half of this. Although you do identify yourself as a woman, so my hopes for you comprehending a fraction of anything in general are minimal. Don’t disappoint.
Also, real word lovers don’t use spell check. They disable it. We post what we write and then comb over it to see what mistakes we have made, and focus on never repeating those. Perhaps your love of spelling isn’t as great as you say.
You know, not EVERYONE has the mind of a grammar teacher, nor does everyone have the patience and time to spell-check. No one cares about spelling nowadays, also, no one cares if you know big words, or how to spell them. In a way, you’re just trolling as well. Also, if you aren’t perfect, then don’t correct others on every last detail about spelling. Finally, I will state this; too long, didn’t read all of it.
MouthyMaven of Ravenloft - just beyond the forgotten realms says:
I’ll take a reminder on how some people want to be mister Know-Alls, some people try to be serious, and some people just do not want to get things. I think you fit the first, I the second and the third.
Nope, that is Dutch, and I am currently in the middle school, so like you have seen in one of the replies up here, I make common mistakes and brutal misunderstandings
standup routines are supposed to be predetermined and written ahead of time. Failbook is supposed to be a place to showcase stupid people who have inadvertently failed. hence, this does not belong on here.
I found it to be funny…..since both of our opinions are different…..one HAS to be correct right?? IF you don’t find it funny, why comment?? Are you really that begrudged over one fail post??? Thats Pathetic
Well, Issac Azimov suggested that people find things which are unexpected and/or make them feel superior funny. In this case, it makes you feel superior (well not you, obviously), so you laugh.
I’m actually doing a project on the psychology of humour.
http://www.google.com/chrome – this one works nicely for me and it’s really fast You like to talk down to people so it may be best to start keeping an eye on these things.
I…I think I love both of you. It’s like the balance of life, one picks me up, the other knocks me back down, and it’s perfect!
FanofTheDarkSide, you are amazing
Miss MouthyMaven, you are correct, I do indeed fail at spelling, but I am only condescending when a commenter continually posts only to bash Failbook in anyway shape or form. This is why I turn to the dark side. The way I see it, anyone can comment and try to be funny, or fail at being funny, even discuss different opinions on different subject matters on this site, and several people do so and are content. Now you may say “just because he said Failbook failed, doesn’t give you the right to belittle him”, and this is true, but as of late a lot of comments have been negative opinions towards Failbook, I have grown more and more impatient, and when people do so relentlessly, I put on my mask, turn to the dark side, and came to Failbook’s defense (not that they need a defender). So while you are correct, and I enjoy the constructive criticism, I will not be lead astray in my quest for justice. As for spell check….it simply isn’t worth my time, I mean, you understood my posts perfectly even with the errors….so I ask….why?
But as a sign of appreciation, I did spell check this post, just for you
I actually agree with you on the people who bash Failbook just to bash. I'm a fan of all the cheez sites and I get so sick of the "shopped! fake! not funny!" crap. Just because you don't think it's funny – doesn't mean the rest of the world – or at least the interwebs – agrees with you.
I lead a very stressful life and the cheez sites give me a break in the day. It's sad that people feel they have to bring them down.
We love you Cheez! Keep it up – let the haters hate but your true fans are here for you!!!
Yeah, they set this up. They should have at least called it “my life,” which is a believable photo album name. Then it would seem like the pop up is emo.
This is the kind of bad programming that is driving Facebook into the ground. I really wish Chia Friend had gotten famous. I had a lot of hotties who were my friends on there.
Ok, however funny this is. It is kinda fake. Who would create an album called ‘your life’? I guess you would call it ‘my life’ or ‘our life’ or the name of the person like “John’s life’ but not ‘your life’. That just makes no sense.. but still its funny that you would think of this
So when someone tries to be funny or make something funny…they can’t b/c its impossible to be funny if you meant to be??
lol, its called logic, use it.
Show me one place, one rule, one statement, where it says a fail HAS to be accidental, in order for it to be a fail and make it on failbook….o that’s right, it never says that anywhere, you probably just have a pet peeve about someone trying to be funny and succeeding, b/c you have never been able to.
Its not a submit fail, just because you do not like imagined fails, it’s a valid post, you are just bitter for some reason or another.
Next time I will imagine a post where it says failbook is just fail, since people are too smart nowadays to make an accident move so something is funny. Dark, grow up, if you try to get serious on me, and try to make my answers look ridiculous, make sure that you can keep your mouth shut and look and think for once, in stead of make a ridiculous complaint about nonsense. Failbook is sometimes accident, sometimes thought off. I pull the thumbs up where I think the fails are funny accidents, and down where they belong. Bye Dark, and now read and think first
Your argument is rubbish, you’re in middle school, and you cannot tell anyone to “grow up” as you are still a pubescent. I’m looking….I’m thinking…..and you’re still ridiculous. All of your answers/responses have been. You can have your opinion Boykes, I never tried to take that away from you, the only thing I did is ridicule you when I find you wrong….like now.
JEEZ! Do people have to find something wrong with every post?
“It’s fake/staged!”
“Wouldn’t she/he know better?”
“They misspelled ______”
“NOT funny! Fail by Failbook.”
It’s just annoying. Please stop.
Even facebook sees it
Lol.
wow… that tops the microsoft office paperclip assistant offering to help write a suicide letter
WTF???!!??
hahahahaha win! “It looks like you’re trying to end your life! Can I help you with that?”
HAHAHAH. WIN.

Awwww
“This gives me a sad”….. a sad what?
don’t delete an empty life, fill it up instead you lazy bum!!
Just a single sad. A lonely, solitary sad.
+9001
What you said gives me a sad.
it gave me two sads.
ROFL! Officially awesome
THAT AINT GOOD
Let me guess, someone created an album Your life, the album was empty and the guy wanted to delete it. All pre-thought off.
You think too much.
Nah, I look too well, and think this makes me sad by the guy posting this
What? “I look too well”? “and think this makes me sad by die guy posting this”?
I really don’t understand what you were trying to say. Please tell me?
lets just say he facepalmed.
Lets just say that is the truth. I just meant its title was my idea about posting this. And that I looked at the post before telling my intuitions
Let’s just say good catch with this one. It’s always good to expose breakdowns in the programming. It’s not bad to point out, it makes people work better next time.
let’s just not feed the troll next time
agreed
I like to write my name when I do pee pee’s
i like to say that this being pre-thought makes is exactly no less funny
“I look too well.”
Makes sense… He looks, sees the obvious, which is what I saw. I came to the same “this was all planned out so I can be clever for Failbook” conclusion.
“and think this makes me sad by the guy posting this”
That was a little more complicated, but I believe he left out the “I.” So it would be more like:

Yeah, it was probably staged, but that doesn’t make it any less funny. Granted, it’s only really worth a chuckle, but it’s still better than some of the stuff being posted lately.
of* not off.
and obviously that is what happened.
ye, I always have a problem with those things. Than and then, off and of and to and too. I hate it
I totally agree with you. LAME!
Congratulations, detective Obvious!
Yeah I thought the same thing
agreed, this was a total set up…
it’s still funny, dude…
Your life is empty, shall we delete it?
Congatulations on figuring that one out… dips**t
Somehow I think that you think this is funny, and try to pull me to that side and say that this is too funny to unfriend. Right? Now, stop it, this is one of the biggest fails for failbook
Somehow I think that Adam was being sarcastic; your first post was kinda stating the obvious.
Yeah, next time you do not need to think I was just stating. I was only saying it was already too stupid because it was made up
Boykes…..you are a nitwit. You just keep going on about how it was made up and how failbook failed. I will say this once for you since you are slow……Fail….or failing….does not mean accidental, it just means unsuccesful……lets wait a minute for boykes to catch up…..So that means, even though this was a pre-planned fail, failbook can post it………do you know why??

another +1
I’ll take a reminder on how some people want to be mister Know-Alls, some people try to be serious, and some people just do not want to get things. I think you fit the first, I the second and the third.
Your spelling and grammar is no better…I tried to defend you to TheDarkSide but if you won’t even try then I give up.
Please tell me that English is not your first language…
Nope, that is Dutch, and I am currently in the middle school, so like you have seen in one of the replies up here, I make common mistakes and brutal misunderstandings
Ok – you have an excuse then
why the hell did you cap know alls?
you misspelled common sense XD
I agree, this was deliberate.
no s**t sherlock.
this is stupid, how did this make it on, it was obviously done on purpose
How long did it take you to figure that one out Lenny??
contrived. It’s not funny if someone tries to make something just for this site.
so are comedians who write jokes just for stand up not funny?
worst. analogy. ever.
standup routines are supposed to be predetermined and written ahead of time. Failbook is supposed to be a place to showcase stupid people who have inadvertently failed. hence, this does not belong on here.
well the facebook programming monkeys never though it would happen therefore its their fail
um, FUNNY stuff belongs here.
It’s funny, so it stays.
You’re not, so you go.
And what part of this post is funny, exactly? I didn’t even consider laughing at this post. It was incredibly stupid.
I found it to be funny…..since both of our opinions are different…..one HAS to be correct right?? IF you don’t find it funny, why comment?? Are you really that begrudged over one fail post??? Thats Pathetic
Well, Issac Azimov suggested that people find things which are unexpected and/or make them feel superior funny. In this case, it makes you feel superior (well not you, obviously), so you laugh.
I’m actually doing a project on the psychology of humour.
lol, Deanna,
You Fail….
Failbook is a place that shows fails that are from Facebook…. Thats it.
Where did you get the idea that it has to be accidental posts from “stupid people” in order to be a fail and make it on failbook??
To “fail” is to be unsuccesful at something…..doesn’t mean it has to be on accident, nor does it have to be from a “stupid person”
Stand up routines are supposed to make people laugh…..they can be predetermined OR they can improvise on stage, either one still makes it stand up.
…….eorwihfwre….oops, I failed at typing, and on purpose even!! Sure, its less ammusing, but….doesn’t change the fact that its a fail.
So please keep your incorrect opinions to yourself.
Yeaaaah….you are OWNING these goobers! x x

^ This.
Exactly!!!
I think some people are taking this sites name too literally. It’s just funny things involving Facebook, set up or not.
Yeah, they set this up. They should have at least called it “my life,” which is a believable photo album name. Then it would seem like the pop up is emo.
This is the kind of bad programming that is driving Facebook into the ground. I really wish Chia Friend had gotten famous. I had a lot of hotties who were my friends on there.

Couldn’t agree more. Fake and contrived. Terribly unfunny and a double-negative fail-fail.
This is so fake.
Did you know movies are fake too? Doesn’t make it not funny.
It does when he tries to make something funny Adam. This is of course a fail, but then a submit fail
So when someone tries to be funny or make something funny…they can’t b/c its impossible to be funny if you meant to be??
lol, its called logic, use it.
Show me one place, one rule, one statement, where it says a fail HAS to be accidental, in order for it to be a fail and make it on failbook….o that’s right, it never says that anywhere, you probably just have a pet peeve about someone trying to be funny and succeeding, b/c you have never been able to.
Its not a submit fail, just because you do not like imagined fails, it’s a valid post, you are just bitter for some reason or another.
Next time I will imagine a post where it says failbook is just fail, since people are too smart nowadays to make an accident move so something is funny. Dark, grow up, if you try to get serious on me, and try to make my answers look ridiculous, make sure that you can keep your mouth shut and look and think for once, in stead of make a ridiculous complaint about nonsense. Failbook is sometimes accident, sometimes thought off. I pull the thumbs up where I think the fails are funny accidents, and down where they belong. Bye Dark, and now read and think first
Your life is empty. Delete it?
Your argument is rubbish, you’re in middle school, and you cannot tell anyone to “grow up” as you are still a pubescent. I’m looking….I’m thinking…..and you’re still ridiculous. All of your answers/responses have been. You can have your opinion Boykes, I never tried to take that away from you, the only thing I did is ridicule you when I find you wrong….like now.
Nice try. Work harder next time and lulz might occur.
Contrived or not it’s still funny… and in this case he can delete and make a new life! Not too shabby!
It doesn’t actually say that on FB… It says “Are you sure you want to delete (album name)?”
Yes, I’d love to delete your life
This is incredibly stupid and not at all funny.
I believe you said that already.
This is incredibly stupid and not funny. at all.
*Thumbs up*
When E-depressed people want to commit suicide.
EPIC FAIL !
Wow is it really that big of a deal? So what if it’s staged, you either get a chuckle out of it or not.
JEEZ! Do people have to find something wrong with every post?
“It’s fake/staged!”
“Wouldn’t she/he know better?”
“They misspelled ______”
“NOT funny! Fail by Failbook.”
It’s just annoying. Please stop.
Just poop on them. It doesn’t actually make them go away, and it attracts flies, but it makes you feel better.
you know its just becuase he titled the album “your life” try it on your own.
Errr… funny?
Sometimes these comments are more amusing than the actual failbook fail. XD
What is Facebook?
FAIL.
oh people cut it OUT stop argueing even if it is fake it’s STILL funny.
agreed?
good.
now shut up and laugh.
wait………
snap
I am great!
Oh my. This is too easy to make. Just create an album, put a picture in, delete it again, and delete the album.
Oh wow…
That’s exactly what I thought. Thumbs down because it’s obviously a fake. Who would name their photo albulm “Your life” as opposed to “My life”?
Also, not funny regardless of if it is legit or not.
I wish i could favorite this a thousand million times x3
it NEVER gets old!
DELETE! j/k lol
agreeing with only the first sentence
