“Missippi’s literacy program shows improvement.” Read that sentence again, repeating that silly little rhyme you learned to spell Mississippi. Like your parents taught you, failure is a part of life, it happens to “the best of us,” you learn from your mistakes.

But failure also can cause others to laugh uncontrollably, as evidenced in the FAIL blog at failblog.org.

The blog is a virtual Rolodex of failures. There are misleading or inaccurate labels, unfortunate coincidences that misconstrue meanings and then just stupid things done by people who were having some sort of brain fart. The failures come in both video and photographic form, and are labeled as some type of fail; the one above, of course, being a “literacy fail.”
