FAIL Blog is a comedic blog website originally created as a side-project of I Can Has Cheezburger? by Ben Huh. The site prominently features pictures of someone (or something) failing at something they are supposed to do, or displaying blatant stupidity or incompetence, captioned with the word "Fail", or "Epic Fail". The site has grown rapidly, with the style of the images used on the site growing to become a popular internet meme, and many other smaller sites have spurred after the meme's popularization.[1]
FAIL Blog will release its first book, Fail Nation: A Visual Romp Through the World of Epic Fails (ISBN 9780061833991), on October 6, 2009. [2]
