A pile of fail to brighten up your week

The downside was that it was chucking it down. This meant that the walk involved trying to hear over the noise of rain hitting umbrellas while dodging said umbrellas. Some people were careful and held their umbrellas high to be out of people's way, the majority were a lot less careful.

Next up, Google is taking my search for windy friday a little too literally:

I a similar way, I asked Siri to schedule the Perseid meteor shower in the calendar. In the process of adding the appointment, Siri helpfully pointed out that I had this scheduled for the 11th. I said to add this one anyway as the night of the 12th into the 13th was the best time to see. So, obligingly, Siri did.
Almost.

Nana Owada is a member of the Japanese super-über-group AKB48. She was also recently the lead role in a bizarre but amusing television series called Sailor Zombie (so called because she wore the infamous sailor style school uniform for a lot of it, and there were zombies, lots of zombies). Anyway, she provided a link to a video of something, I forget what, might have been the series theme tune or somesuch, on her YouTube account. Which was blocked because it contained copyrighted material. I'm sure a person with a firecracker up their backside could explain in length about how the girls don't own anything they create, it is all owned by the group management and producers, blah blah.
From an end viewer point of view - a girl from AKB48 posts a video of something by AKB48 which is blocked by AKB48. Otherwise known as fail!

The biggest fail on this page must be this:

As a native English speaker, it can sometimes be worthwhile looking at text written on shirts to observe the stupid, the funny, and...
...the scary.

Here's a top for a 3 year old girl:

A three year old girl wearing a top that says: My special day: I await you on the beach to make many bathrooms together.
Say whut?

The Monty Python dictionary sketch has evidently been thrusting itself into our slice of the hypercosmos. It shows how dangerous TV can be. It will be the lethal joke next.  Tuadhail Poib, as an Irish Bertie Wooster would say.
