Post by **SonicTempest** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 06:32

It's February and I'm bored, so it's time for this year's SaiFAIL competition!

The rules are the same as last year, with one small change:
1) As before, nominate (and later vote) for the thing, person, event or phenomenon that you think fails the most!
2) No nominations pertaining to real life current events.

I would like to nominate Team Rocket because they have failed to capture Pikachu from a functionally retarded 12 year old on over 500 seperate occasions over the past 10 years and show no sign of quitting.

Kevin McCullough (the guy who wrote the "The 'Sex-Box' Race For President" article which described Mass Effect as "The most realistic sex acts... one can custom design the shape, form, bodies, race, hair style, breast size... of the images the video game "persons" hump in every form, format, multiple, gender-oriented possibility they can think of", the article has already been removed, but we still got this http://kevinmccullough.townhall.com/blo ... 5599024191)
