  7. tamara says:

    How much fail can you get in one post? Well done Kelly. Next time we are fighting an alien super computer and we need to mess with its logic – we are sending you instead of Spock and Kirk.

  8. hedi says:

    typical blonde

  9. öäü says:

    Americans…. :P

  10. doncamillo says:

    At least she got one of them right. As far as I remember Madonna was her first name. :-)

  11. Daniel says:

    This is what happens when you can post to FB from bars.

  12. Verge says:

    Wow. So much fail. “Kelly” only uses one name, and aside from Madonna, the other two are LAST NAMES. Ugh. I really wish I knew people this dumb as well, just so I could post about how dumb they are.

    • James says:

      Just so you know, ‘Madonna’ actually *is* her first name. Her last name is Ciccone. And in case you’re interested, her middle name is Louisse.

      Please use Wikipedia next time.

      • teh d00che – Presidon’t of teh Internetz says:

        “and aside from Madonna, the other two are LAST NAMES.”

        Please use brain next time.

        • James says:

          “and aside from Madonna, the other two are LAST NAMES.”

          >Implying the FB post was correct about Madonna

          Please use yours, I’m doing just fine here.

          • teh d00che – Presidon’t of teh Internetz says:

            Ok, sorry.

          • Zaxxon says:

            Sir/Ma’am,
            Searching on Wikipedia because you didn’t know but wanted to invalidate someone else’s assertion isn’t using your brain. It is being smug while using someone else’s brain.

            I find you both Fake and Gay. Also, you spelled “terribly bad” as “just fine.”

            • James says:

              I hope you’re kidding. But in case you aren’t…

              A – Doing your research is certainly using your brain. You are the first person I’ve heard correlate research to “not using a brain”.

              B – I never said I used Wikipedia, I was telling the poster to do so since he wasn’t familiar with the subject.

              c – It’s not being smug. It’s pointing out that the poster’s assumption, that Madonna only has one name, is false. If you find that smug, you must be on an awfully tall horse to be so butt-hurt over a correction.

              D – fake*

              E – gay*

              F – Why are you resorting to calling names? Grow up.

            • Fish says:

              No, it’s making a counter argument (based on either prior knowledge or assumptions) and finding supporting evidence, then providing the reference. Pretty much the basis of academic life.

              • Zaxxon says:

                Oh I see. I wasn’t aware that proper academics belittled others for not knowing a specific answer, however the scholarly had to look up the answer anyway. Silly me. I thought scholarly research was to pass on knowledge.

                I’ll inform the world that I was wrong and it is to look down upon the unlearned of any particular piece of information. I’m not sure if I’m even being sarcastic anymore because I believe my eyes rolled all the way around again. What does that mean?

                • Fish says:

                  Your quite right, academics shouldn’t do that, however for some one so quick to vindicate, you seem to be doing very much the same thing.

                  However, you’ve responded to that which wasn’t being argued. I never made comment about his manner of correction, simply replying to your statement that he was not using his brain but some one elses, which is a staple as part of any scholarly article.

          • blueglass says:

            That’s right. The FB post, despite the rest of the errors, was correct about Madonna.

            Verge, despite stating the incredibly obvious, was also correct about Madonna.

            So why did you leave a comment trying to “correct” them and telling them to use Wikipedia? What brain are you using again?

            • James says:

              They were correct about Madonna only having one name? Weird, I thought her name was Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone. News to me! (and apparently the rest of the world)

              • Zaxxon says:

                It was news to you until you looked it up about an hour ago. You also keep pasting it in instead of typing it, which means you had absolutely no familiarity with it before.

                Consider yourself pwn’d.

                • James says:

                  No it wasn’t news to me. You shouldn’t assume what I do and don’t know.

                  Yes I’m pasting it. Because I don’t want to be bothered trying to memorize her whole name, it’s not an easy one to spell.

                  I’ll consider myself pwn’d when I’m incorrect.

                  • Zaxxon says:

                    You assumed that she had a last name and had to look it up to be sure. Thus it was “news to you” until you looked it up. The point is that you are condemning people’s ignorance when you were also ignorant. Thus you were pwn’d.

                    • James says:

                      So when anyone does research, they are pwn’d? I think you’re riding solo on this one…

                      I was quite aware she had a last name, I couldn’t specifically remember it so I looked it up. That in no way is getting pwn’d. Nice try, better luck next time ‘n00b’.

              • blueglass says:

                Come on. She was born with a last name, yes. No one is denying this.

                Her professional name, however, is just Madonna. This is what the FB post, and everyone else, is talking about.

                • James says:

                  Her professional name is Madonna if you consider Rosanne’s professional name as just Rosanne. Both definitely still have a last name (Ciccone and Barr).

                  I will admit that she signs her name as Madonna, if that’s what you’re looking for. But that’s not what was claimed.

                  • blueglass says:

                    What? No. Roseanne is not comparable to Madonna when it comes to professional names. “Roseanne” is generally recognizable on its own, and she may have named her SHOW that, but if you look at any credits or media she’s “Roseanne Barr.” Madonna, on the other hand, is always credited as “Madonna.”

                    If you want to use Wikipedia as the the basis, then compare the way Madonna’s entry is listed as just “Madonna” while Barr’s is “Roseanne Barr.”

                    Considering I’m a fan of neither one of them I can’t believe I’ve written so many words about them today.

                    • Zaxxon says:

                      Blueglass, James doesn’t need anything explained to him. He knows that he is being pompous. He is also finding it difficult to come to terms with being owned over and over again.

              • Daphne says:

                I am pretty sure that the FB poster knows that the listed people have more than one name, but that they are known by one name. If you say Madonna (almost) everyone will know who you are talking about.

          • D.M. says:

            I don’t get it. If “the other two” are last names, that would mean Verge meant Madonna is a first name. So what was the problem?

            • Patrick says:

              The problem is apparently that James needed to restate the obvious in an attempt to be a self-righteous ass.

              No one with half a brain cell would assume from Verge’s post that she has only a first name. But somehow, James interpreted it that way.

      • The_Italian_Pope says:

        Madonna actually is her stage name…her real name is Louise Ciccone.

    • Gorgon Medusa says:

      Well thank you for explaining the fail, Captain Obvious.

    • creatureinthesky says:

      Umm… Madonna Louise Ciccone ?

    • kim says:

      wow you must be so much fun to have around. do you sit beside people and explain jokes after theyre told?

    • Rory says:

      Me too, thanks for providing me with someone :-D

    • skulldragon says:

      Just be glad you don’t know people this dumb. Remember the age old phrase ‘you are who your friends are’?

    • me says:

      Why don’t you just keep posting abouit how dumb YOU are? Being obvious about something obvious is pretty dumb in itself. Don’t worry about everyone else, work on becoming a better person yourself. And don’t worry about knowing dumb people, all your friends know one already.

    • ClariPossum says:

      Her last name has probably been censored.

    • tad says:

      Actually, her name is whited out, hence all the extra space after it. Plus, I can tell from the pixels.

  13. Robinis says:

    I bet the boys like her..

  14. Someone says:

    People like this scare me.

  15. Lolzor says:

    They see me trollin…

  16. Shipoopi says:

    meh

  17. szepi79 says:

    this post is a huge fail… she forgot Lady Gaga, who has two (first?) names. or that little girl, Justin Bieber.

    • Perseus says:

      It’s Justine.

      Did I just make a “Justin Bieber is a girl” joke?
      AAAGHH! THEY’RE STARTING TO INFECT ME!!!!

    • Layla19 says:

      I would consider “Lady” to be a title, not a name.

      Unless, of course, it’s meant to be descriptive, for all the people who are confused by her…

  18. Tacoguy says:

    To outta three isnt bad.

    • James says:

      Are you kidding? NONE out of three were correct.

      and I think you mean two*

      • Perseus says:

        One was. Madonna.

        • James says:

          Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone is her full name. Therefore, Kelly’s FB update was incorrect. Read other posts please. Many people have said it many times already.

          • blueglass says:

            Oh god, is this what you’re harping on about? “Only has a first name” in casual discussion implies “is known by only his/her first name,” not that the person LITERALLY has no middle or last names. Everyone understands this.

            Madonna is known to the general public as just “Madonna,” because that’s the professional name she chose for herself.

          • Luthy says:

            James, although that technically is her full name, she is only known by one name, Madonna, which is what the original post is referring to.

          • Patrick says:

            Would you like some KY or vaseline to get that stick outta your @ss?

          • she-who-makes-sammiches says:

            if you knew her name so well James how come you had to look it up on Wikepedia, which I might add isn’t a credible source because anyone can write and update whatever they want about someone. If I decided to change her name to Madonna Louise Smith on wikepedia how would anyone know much different because it isn’t common knowledge that her middle names are Louise Veronica and last name is Ciccone.

    • otto-moe-bill says:

      First off, you meant Two not To.

      Second off, she only got one out of three.

      Thank you for failing and good day.

      • otto-moe-bill says:

        damn it. LoL I love morning reply fails.

      • James says:

        Correction: she didn’t get any of the three correct. All of those people have a first, middle and last name.

        • D.M. says:

          Sheesh. Well everybody has a full name, but some people go by just one, so Madonna was right. Why are you so persistent?

        • Patrick says:

          Oh my fsm shut UP. We KNOW she has a full name. She USES one name.

          Not everyone is so pedantic as to feel the need to write “Why are so many famous people referred to by their first name only?” (Or more accurately, by one name only).

          I’M a pedant and not that uptight ffs.

        • Murph says:

          I was on your side earlier w/ the whole research thing…but not anymore.

    • KittehMan says:

      *two

  19. Drongo says:

    MEHEHEHEHEHE

  20. Morgan423 says:

    This post hurt my brain. Very, very badly. Now I’m very sad.

  21. Krukmeister says:

    Being a blonde must be tough.

  22. Tablo says:

    The fail here is that she’s using a BlackBerry.

  23. fail says:

    even if those WERE all of their real first names, what is the point she is trying to make?

  24. Colorless says:

    aww, at least the poor girl is asking questions.. that’s the first step to education.

  25. Kriztorpha says:

    0424718708.

  26. Mudz says:

    Kelly is famous too! =D

  27. yer momma says:

    ‘Cause everyone who’s famous sucks at life. Excluding fictional ones…. and me.

  28. rupeereaper says:

    Did anyone else notice that besides her obvious fail, she also only goes by her first name on fb? That leads me to believe she was trying to be funny, therefore making her fail a fail.

    You want the fail?! You can’t handle the fail!

  29. Me says:

    277 comments and not one mentioned the fact that it isn’t a wedding ring regardless of which hand it’s on. Also, wtf is up with that huge gash in his pants?

  30. scuse me says:

    had to be a blonde

  31. PikalaxALT says:

    LAST!!! Just like the names in the post.

  32. captobvious says:

    Why does kelly only have a first name? Wtf, she’s not famous!

  33. TheLoneWanderer says:

    Some of these comments made no sense at all. But yeah, she only had 2 out of 3 right.

  34. she said says:

    …. ummm wow haha

  35. Patt says:

    No doubt she’s blonde..

  36. It’s appropriate time to make a few plans for the long run and it’s time to be happy. I’ve learn this post and if I may just I wish to recommend you few attention-grabbing issues or tips. Perhaps you could write subsequent articles referring to this article. I desire to read more issues about it!
