      *facepalm* blondes…

    • Lolwut? says:

      I dunno, those names dont look american

      • snakeseare says:

        Sadly, yes they do. Welcome to hipsterville, population Bryttnie, Rhianon, Kayla….

        http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/

      • Headhunter says:

        LOL, look at the stupid mispelling of the name Brittany, just like with Britney? Dumb names like Chelsee, Shawn for Sean and so on?

        No one else is that dumb except for Yanks.

        This American meme is great and long may it live, because it provokes answers which prove the case like that.

        Man up and raise your games and stop whinging about snobbery because you keep getting shown up in here.

        Latest one is someone that cannot boil water and it’s a girl, a future mother who will be eating mayo sandwiches and marrying her cousin, sorry, cuzin.

        • Kent says:

          Show us on the doll where the Americans touched you.

          You’re so fiendishly obsessed Americans that you rip on Americans in every single failbook submission almost. Yet every time you have zero evidence that the people are American, or that the submission is even real.

          It’s the ultimate straw-man argument. You just create arguments against phantom people that might not be American or might not even exist (really Bryttnie, Rhianon?).

          You’re a perfect example of how anti-Americanism is a mental disorder. You’re so desperate to cope with your inferiority that you create an alternate reality basically, where you pretend that negative human traits that YOU actually have in great abundance, are exclusive to the US. You have a completely different set of mental processes that dictate how you interpret anything. If this submission was from the UK, and it could be, you would not have made a peep about the stupidity being due to nationality.

          Seriously, people that say Americans are dumb are themselves dumber than the average American. You are proof of this. Look at you, you’re a full blown mental midget. The fact that you argue against the US makes us look good by contrast.

          Seriously, get life.

          • Win says:

            well said sir. I salute you.

          • Maria says:

            Sadly, FB is populated with people who actually spell their names that way, and I’d hazard a guess as to which groups of people they could potentially be part of, based on what I’ve seen in my own very American community, but people would say I was either racist or classist or something, even though I have seen the nonsense with my own eyes. Names “creatively” spelled usually indicates a lesser educated individual for a parent, and most Americans are actually better educated than that.

            That said, I’d like to point out most people who can’t figure out how to boil water don’t realize that boiling is a synonym for bubbling hot water. More evidence for the uneducated hypothesis, but then, test it for yourselves.

          • Mimi says:

            I want to have your stupid American babies, Kent.

          • Kat says:

            Hey – American here – A lot of us aren’t all that thrilled about it either……

          • N says:

            I agree, mr shoe. The majority of Americans are ridiculously ignorant. I’m an American. I’m relatively ignorant. Trying to remedy that, but have to beat the idiot Americans off with a stick because they try to pull me back among them. GO AMERICA!!!

        • Kent says:

          Another thing I’ve seen you comment on faiblog submissions that were obviously not American, yet you refused to abandon your delusions after the clues were pointed out to you.

          You’re just a freakshow. It’s a prerequisite that a person be a moron to actually say the things you do.

          Anti-Americanism is demonstrably a mental disorder and you’re the poster child for this.

        • Dudio says:

          Yeah, and you Brits are pretty damned stupid for misspelling certain classical continental European names. Seriously? Jack, Carl, Josie? What the heck, dude?

        • yep says:

          No need to feel sorry for the cousin. If he’s a felon, his wife/cousin just might spring him from prison like that idiot in the southwest recently.

    • boo says:

      the american joke is getting old. srsly.

    • DLight says:

      Yeah, most probably. Can’t even spell “Britney” or “Brittany”….or maybe it really is her name and it was her parents who can’t spell it right.

      “Awwwww, a cute little girl! Let’s name her Britney…..how do you spell it, hun?”

    • bob says:

      I bet this guy is some kid in the midwest….

    • Giggidy says:

      Wow you guys really aren’t good at this. This, ladies and gentleman, would be a troll. They are horrible creatures that should at all costs be ignored, because they feed on hate and profanity thrown in their direction. Though it is amusing to argue with one, it should not be attempted, because for every troll defeated in argument, at least 20 more will rise up from the interwebs to take its place.

    • miiii says:

      as in any capitalist society, wealth and poverty are polarized to their extremes in the US. same goes, of course, for education. this site is dedicated to extraordinary manifestations of stupidity, or “fails”. it is obviously not a mirror of an entire society or nation or anything of the like. utterances along the line of “that’s just classic American” clearly show that you’re either troll or, well, classic moron.

  4. lemmego says:

    How did your parents not know how to spell Britney?

    • Andrew says:

      They probably did, but Facebook doesn’t check that you spelt it right now do they? ;-)

      And honest to God, this is probably one of the most retarded things I’ve ever seen. Along with that “I didn’t know the Sun is a star” one…

      • Bryttnie says:

        The sun is a star?! :O
        OMFG!!!

      • yo daddy says:

        What the sun is a star? The earth is round? I thought the lunar landing was fake… o.O

        ;D

      • Uber Cat says:

        She obviously did know how to boil water, she just didn’t know at what point to put the pasta in. I think we should all just learn to be a bit more respectful and less arrogant just because we’ve all gone through this particular life’s lesson. We were all like Bryttnie at one stage. That’s what I think but then again I am Pinochet.

        • A.D. says:

          Good point but unfortunately we all need someone to point and laugh at to make ourselves feel better.

          • WeirdFish says:

            But we should probably figure out the whole “boiling water” thing before the whole “iPhone” thing. Certain life skills really should come before others.

            “OMG, I, like put my hand in this bubbling water, and it was all hot like, and like, it hurt.”

        • Kaelinda says:

          That’s right. We were all like Bryttnie once, when we were seven, like she is. She has never boiled water before, and the bubbles surprised her. She knows her way around the internet, though. Write nice things about her sister Kaycee and her brother Deejay, will you? They’ll be on the net as soon as they’re big enough to climb into the computer chair so they can reach the keyboard.

          • Siirenias says:

            I find it disturbingly possible that somewhere within 5 posts of this one is her talking about her driving lessons or something.

    • Headhunter says:

      It’s Brittany, again a classic example of the afflicted mocking the afflicted with you guys.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany_%28name%29

    • Chikki says:

      Some people spell names differently because they want their kid’s name to be different from all the other people out there with the same name…

    • ClariPossum says:

      My guess is she misspelled it on purpose. You can put anything on your facebook account. She probably did it so it would “look cool” or something like that.

  5. scrovlucaf*cker says:

    asian

  6. ronde says:

    I can’t even imagine what a struggle surviving through the day is for Brotnoy : (

  7. nescient says:

    there are people like that. my ex once called me to ask me how to boil water. and no we are not american, we are australian, he’s just an idiot.

    to add to that he called me on another occasion to ask me how to make toast – the bread was in the freezer. btw this guy has an IQ of 156.

    • Xavi says:

      Frozen bread toasts fine and doesn’t go stale. Why shouldn’t there be bread in the freezer?

      • Xavi says:

        Admittedly, there was plenty of fail there no matter where the bread was.

        • Siirenias says:

          However, shouldn’t you toast the bread at a lower temperature for longer? A thick enough slice might blacken on the outside before the middle thaws.

          • nescient says:

            it was normal sliced bread. so no need to turn the temperature down and most toasters – even that one had a button for frozen. he didn’t know if he had to thaw it out first.. he even asked if he should put it in the microwave.

            oh and when i told him to boil the water in the kettle.. he asked me how to use the kettle.

  8. larwaa says:

    Definitely American. Only Americans eat macaroni and cheese.

    • Kleanthes says:

      Except only English and Welsh people name their children Rhianon and Bryttnie.

      • Wolfbear says:

        Nope, sorry, American again. Nice try in bringing other countries in though… *coughs*

        One question though. Why in an argument about America’s un-intelligence, the British are always brought into the frame? Just a curiosity of mine, as there are many other English speaking nations after all…

      • me says:

        i am with larwaa. It’s macaroni cheese in the UK, so hand on heart it’s not one our chavvy, uneducated little arseholes. This time…

      • Greg says:

        Now, I ain’t sayin’ that you’re wrong, but do you have proof that there are no non-Brits called Bryttnie in the US? Or Rhianon for that matter?

  9. SamtheMan says:

    I thought her name was like Byranttie or some s**t. What kind of spelling for a name is that lol.

  10. Big Doktor says:

    cullenary class.

    someone watches too much Twilight.

  11. Whaddya know says:

    Probably a Twilighter… which automatically takes her down a few dozen IQ points.. she thinks its actually spelled Cullen-ary.

  12. Egon says:

    Of course it’s American – atrocious misspelling of common names

  13. Dänemarker says:

    American

  14. DonkeyPunch says:

    Definitely American, as am I. But you have to realize what kind of idiot American thinks that horribly maiming the spelling of their child’s name is creative. These are the kinds of idiots that have even dumber children that think magic Jesus makes water boil and Glenn Beck is a genius.

  15. Proffesser Foundling Faader, MHF,HDRB.RDJK.WGHT.esquire. says:

    Possibley an American, east or west coast, or texas.

  16. Chikki says:

    …Has she never seen anyone cook before? I mean… she sounds like one of those spoiled rich kids that have everything done for them and never learn how to work. Still… it’s surprising that she doesn’t know.

  17. Wilson says:

    Another person on the internet who doesn’t know how to use google. If she did she could find step-by-step instructions.

  18. insightful says:

    1) Weird spellings can be for 2 reasons. The parents think it is neat. OR because you want your name on a site but the real spelling is rejected so you get really creative just so it will be accepted.

    2) I have run across some really stupid teens that don’t know how to cook. Their parents never taught them. I blame the parents for not teaching and the kids for not asking. Both are in the wrong

    3) Entirely possible that somebody is just trying to be funny/cute/troll.

    • ClariPossum says:

      “OR because you want your name on a site but the real spelling is rejected so you get really creative just so it will be accepted.”

      That’s not an issue with Facebook, though. Facebook relies on e-mail addresses for telling one person from another.

      As for not knowing how to cook… yeah I blame that on the parents. Although something as simple as boiling water is more a trial-and-error type of thing, especially when it involves pasta. I still occasionally boil it over once the noodles are in the water, LoL.

      • ThatDarnCat says:

        If the grrrl didn’t learn to cook from her mum it’s a safe bet that her mum didn’t learn from her mum either. I blame the welfare state that lets you spend your foodstamps at Hungry Jacks or McDonalds.

        • ClariPossum says:

          Either that or her mother was too lazy to teach her. My grandmother (who raised me) was a great cook but didn’t teach me much, and what she did teach me was because I asked. Some parents would rather just not spend the time to teach their kids how to be productive adults.

      • Siirenias says:

        I’ve gone quite a ways further than “how to boil water” and sometimes I still choose a slightly too small of a pot, and slightly too much water.

        Keeping my stove clean is all but impossible.

  19. J says:

    I love the title.

  20. pale says:


    not only will you learn how to make mac&cheese, but also learn something about Serbian culture

  21. Dizzy says:

    I never thought this would happen but this fail actually made me consider the world might be ending. It’s silly, I know. :D

  22. Frightened for our future says:

    It probably started when her parents spelled her name “Bryttnie”.

  23. Steve D. says:

    Why do some people believe it’s significant to point out that these people might be American? What is the reason? I’m an American, and I’m not really that offended by America-bashing or anti-Americanism. I’m just baffled by the implication in these statements that people outside of America (presumably Canada and the UK, which is where most of these America bashers seem to come from) are so incredibly smarter and more intelligent, as if there’s no stupid people from their countries.

    That’s what mystifies me by all this, so if one of you America bashers could explain it to me, I’d just be interested in knowing just how you see the world. I know that some people just like to troll, and even that has a time and a place, but are there really people who think in those terms?

    • Borat says:

      people = plural

      • Jesus says:

        Good job. You must’ve passed English in school. However, he didn’t use it out of context. I hate trolls who don’t know how to do it right…

    • teatime of death says:

      “I’m not really offended.” O really? I bash America because I am an American, and I have to live though it.

      • Steve D. says:

        Oh never mind. I was just interested in whether these anti-American types were truly as morally bankrupt as they sound, and now, it appears I have my answer.

    • Skeptical says:

      Yes there are. And it’s because the face that is put on America to the rest of the world is one of ignorance, greed and stupidity. I’m not saying it’s right and I’m not saying that it represents all Americans but it is what most of us in other countries see. Think about the major news stories that come from the states and the faces that make the front page and represent Americans every day: George Bush, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Dr. Laura, FOX News…I could go on all day. These people are the face of America and that’s why so many people from other countries have such a strong dislike of you.

      • ThatDarnCat says:

        And they are farther down the food chain that the entire Royal family how?

      • Kent says:

        “I’m not saying it’s right and I’m not saying that it represents all Americans but it is what most of us in other countries see.”

        It’s what you choose to see. The US is the most powerful country in the world and the center of your attention. Your media and your society in general deliberately only focus on the negatives on the US and exaggerate them so you can divert attention from your own negatives which are almost always the same or worse.

        You will never, ever hear a positive story from the US in any European or Canadian media outlet. People have already chosen sides. Anti-Americanism thrills people. It’s a fiendish desire to bash the US. In fact simply mentioning positives of the US causes people to RAGE.

        The perception of Americans as being ignorant and stupid does not reflect reality. These traits are not exclusive to the US or even more common. The reason the perception exists is because of a desire on YOUR part to pigeonhole the US in this fashion. If the US was not the most powerful country in the world, that perception would not exist. There would be no incentive.

  24. Aliza says:

    It’s not her fault. I mean, just look at her name, ignorance is obviously an inherited trait. ;) lol

  25. Steve says:

    Sheesh. If you can’t do it yourself, you can get boiled water down at the 7-11, right?

  26. "-_- says:

    geez everyone dont you realize this is a staged conversation…there is no way that girls dont know how to cook, it just comes naturally its in there genes

  27. JD says:

    That’s why you should always have some boiling water in the freezer, you’ll never know when you might need it.

  28. rdhood says:

    When I consider that I first boiled water at about age 10, I am simply stunned by the idiots of this world. In fact, I imagine every third world child knows how to boil water by the age of 5.

  29. Tachyon says:

    When the zombies come it’s people like this who are going to fall first…

  30. Katie F says:

    Alright, no one should ever have “kreative” names like Bryttnie. It’s just setting any child up for complete failure…

    • ClariPossum says:

      Or if nothing else, cursing them with constantly having to spell their name to people because it’s not spelled how most people would assume it’s spelled.

  31. Bokkos says:

    *smashes face into desk repeatedly*

  32. Zero says:

    How do you print screen an iphone?

  33. Greg says:

    The old saying “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” may apply here, but this particular apple may have had to stop on the way down to ask for directions.

  34. Peanut butter fried Shame says:

    I’m not surprised reading something like this from a “Bryttnie”.

  35. Jesus says:

    I think she’s just being an attention whore. What idiot can’t boil water…

  36. ZombieQueen says:

    wow….these are the names of my friend and her ex girlfriend…and she would ask that…

  37. Crystallia says:

    Notice the way she misspelled culinary…

    I think she’s a twitard.

  38. Me says:

    Hopefully he/she will starve to death before they get a chance to reproduce (and win the Darwin Award in the process)

  39. Lou says:

    It’s a phone with AT&T service. THat’s American, right?

    Hence… American ditz.
    But don’t worry Britain, you may have missed out on this one, but you’ve got plenty more like it.

  40. agh. says:

    CULLENary.
    twitard.

  41. hbblblblbbl says:

    spelling class wouldn’t be a luxury either. hell, maybe the entire education system all over again would be the best idea.
