Internet and phone connections are now disabled in Egypt.. I tottaly agree.. but.. In the begining of these problems.. they have tried to only block social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.. so.. login screen like these used to appear to users who were trying to connect during this period.. and they used to get these types of messages.. but not this one on the picture.. because it’s far exagerated..
And.. In Egypt.. they don’t speak pure Arabic.. so you can say that they have their own language.. it’s based on arabic.. but it is concidered another language.. yabkhtak..
Any message wouldn’t come from the site in that case though. This is clearly meant to look like a FB site. More likely it would be something like a 403 error page.
I bet you’re the kind of person that waits and hopes for the chance to use LMGTFY on someone. What KrissRoxx said is what we all here on the internet call a “joke”. Maybe you should google what humor means.
403 is the error code for ‘forbidden’. Other pseudo-amusing status codes include 300 “multiple-choice”, 402 “payment required”, 409 “conflict” and 410 “gone”.
Egyptian isn’t a language, through and through. It’s an accent at best – just like how most Arabic countries have citizens speaking differently a bit. The language is called Arabic.
I can’t you said Egyptian is an “accent.” Are you serious? Arabic has dialects, not accents. Accents are just different pronunciations, like we have accents in the states. Of course, dialects have accents. Egyptian is it’s own dialect, with different words, grammar and inflections than Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), which is only spoken in politics. I specialize in MSA and Iraqi dialect.
In Egypt they do speak english.. in a very very very bad way.. the worst english prounoucing you can ever hear.. and it’s getting worse day after day..
actually no, the user choose the language he/she prefer to view their facebook with, so even if it was for Egypt witch is an arabic country it might be written in english… and i’m an Egyptian by the way.
Of course it’s real! I mean.. wait.. They only shut down the internet providers (which are few in Egypt)… They didn’t block all IPs from Egypt! WAIT A MINUTE. Something’s not right here… Nope. It’s legit. Sorry.
Actually, there is still some internet usage in Egypt. All social networking sites and such were blocked, as with internet in general. But there are some numbers you can use for dial up access there.
I live in Egypt and this made me LOL.
When facebook was first blocked, we got ‘cannot display webpage’ or ‘address invalid’ Then there was no internet at all. For 5 whole days!
And a large proportion of the people, particularly those who can afford computers and the internet, speak English. Some of them exclusively.
Egyptian Arabic is entirely different from MSA. It is perfectly acceptable here to consider ‘Egyptian’ a language in itself.
*request new ones* I lol’d…. ah, someday it might actually be that easy!
Wouldn’t that be brilliant… People would be trying to overthrow the government every five minutes.
I think you have found the subtle flaw in Karma’s revolutionary zeal. Well done… have a cracker.
That’s racist!
or is it cannibalism?
L, i don’t think you know what “racist” means…
LOL fred
hi
No, I’m pretty sure -L-’s got it right, however, I don’t think you know what a cracker is…
This is brilliant.
Indeed.

They are just covering up a huge bacha bazi this week!
Is this real?
Yes of course.
facepalm.jpg
If it is, it’d explain why I haven’t heard squat from my BIL who’s stationed there
No, that would be because they cut off the internet, period. Did you really not know that?
No. You can’t connect to internet in Egypt at all so you can’t get to failed log in page.
Plus it it were directed to egyptian users it would be in Arabic (both language and script), not English.
And Egyptian language (crossed out at bottom right) doesn’t exist, they speak Arabic in Egypt.
Good joke though.
you just killed the humor…. I HATE YOU
I just ended its suffering
hahahahahaha
I tried to click “Like” for your comment…
Do you live on the second floor?
Yes. Alice lived next door but she moved away.
Alice? Who the f*** is Alice?

Supposing that you have never heard about photoshop??
403? Page almost found?

+10 Internets to you.
+9 internets to you.
403 – Forbidden access to page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_403
403 is the error code for ‘forbidden’. Other pseudo-amusing status codes include 300 “multiple-choice”, 402 “payment required”, 409 “conflict” and 410 “gone”.
Don’t forget 418- “I’m a teapot”
I lol’d. Have my internets good sir.
Why thank you. I was running short of internets.
I’m wondering what you do with them. Do you eat them? Are they tasty?

Well.. yes, what I meant was dialect. (I’ve never heard of the word before, so don’t mind me…)
It’s still Arabic in the end, nonetheless. >.>
*runs*
You apparently also specialize in pedantic dialect
Egypt are under change they are also part of Arab region accents are different and some words are with meanings different too
tl;dr
Unless someone in Egypt spoke English…
In Egypt they do speak english.. in a very very very bad way.. the worst english prounoucing you can ever hear.. and it’s getting worse day after day..
Sounds like Los Angeles.
@ un1k3n: You sir just made me Lolz
or Invercargill, New Zealand
Then they’d have language set on Arabic, not English and would see this in that language.
Of ourselves it’s not bloody real, but it’s funny anyway. And, you would think to post it on failblog they could speak English
actually no, the user choose the language he/she prefer to view their facebook with, so even if it was for Egypt witch is an arabic country it might be written in english… and i’m an Egyptian by the way.
actually nobody uses facebook in arabic in egypt , and i mean nobody
wow someone doesnt have a since of humer
the revolution started on facebook.
Fake, makes it look like FB is blocking IP’s from Egypt. The gov’t is blocking people from even getting to the log in page
That’s not true. The ISPs stopped serving internet entirely.
(How would you serve an internet? Does it come on a silver platter?)
HAHAHAHAHA this is nice!!!!!!!!!!11111
Love it!
Of course it’s real! I mean.. wait.. They only shut down the internet providers (which are few in Egypt)… They didn’t block all IPs from Egypt! WAIT A MINUTE. Something’s not right here… Nope. It’s legit. Sorry.
Boy, nothing gets past you, does it?
I lol’d.
I Smp =D

muhaha tip top
That was a funny one.
Mubarak needs to the Heck – someone, somewhere in Egypt must have this on a banner.
Best of luck to our Egyptian brothers and sisters though.
That would be hilarious! Liberating, also.
So, i know the guy who made this… he also did another one that has the map on the homepage, only the head over egypt is crossed out.

lol
It’s a shame he misspelled “except”, would have been borderline epic…
interesting, i didnt know fish came on failbook O.o
*edited for scale
haha haha haha that so java script
Now that egyptians have no internet, I guess most korean MMOs are empty. I may even be able to find an english speaker on Conquer Online for a change!
I live in Egypt and this made me LOL.

5 whole days without Internet access? No wonder there was so much rage on Tahrir Square.
I love how the font changes throughout the message.
just getting on facebook is not equal to being on the side of the light, western people
the internet is now back and i can watch as much stupid jokes as i want
looool I’m Egyptian
