They're pretty hilarious but some are staged and some seem a bit dated but seem to percolate back up.

Press release FAIL (or unintended success?)

National Hot Dog & Sausage Council Says President-Elect Obama's Historic Trip to Famous DC Hot Dog Restaurant Reflects Excellent and All-American Taste in Cuisine (Ack, adjective overload)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- President-Elect Barack Obama's visit to the DC landmark Ben's Chili Bowl for a half-smoke yesterday reflects his excellent and all-American taste in cuisine.

According to National Hot Dog & Sausage Council President Janet M. Riley, "His stop yesterday shows that while the most sophisticated chefs in America may be vying for his palate,American hot dogs and sausages were the 'wieners' this weekend in Washington." (Heh-heh. Wiener!)

As a result of the stop, the Council is optimistic about hot dog and sausages' potential places on the White House menu. "Hot dogs have a rich and bi-partisan history at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue," Riley said. President Franklin D. Roosevelt served hot dogs to King George VI in 1939. Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush also served them.

Because President-elect Obama seemed confused about the half-smoke on the menu at Ben's Chili Bowl, the Council offers a clarification about this local DC delicacy. A half-smoke is a sausage that is similar to a hot dog but is larger in size, contains more coarsely ground meat (not even accurate) and is slightly spicier.

Given Obama's Chicago home, the Council is optimistic that he will adhere to one of the Councils' -- and the Windy City's -- cardinal etiquette rules: no ketchup on hot dog after the age of 18. Under Council rules, First Children Malia and Sasha are exempt from the ketchup restriction -- at least for a few more years.

For more hot dog and sausage facts and figures -- including the Council's highly rated hot dog etiquette video (WTF?) -- visit www.hot-dog.org or www.YouTube.com/hotdogcouncil.

Emphasis/comments added.

I saw that a couple days ago directly on the Fail Blog site itself. I think they call that one a compound fail.

It's just a matter of knowing how to. And these people aren't used to that. Stuff like hitting the breaks (makes you slide) and going too fast.

Agreed. Driving in snow is not that difficult and can be more fun if you know how to do it right. This appears to be an area that usually doesn't get snow where people don't know how to drive in snow and have all-season (i.e. three-season) or summer tires on their vehicles.

I love snow driving.

King 5 news is in Seattle. Every time it snows, jackasses try to drive down hills, and crash into everything, like seen here.

Seriously, it's just common sense. Hill + Snow = Find another route.

Some stuff just can't be made up. This is a great example.

I don't have a picture for either one, but here are two I wish I did have proof of: A hotel in Austin, Tx (on I-35 near the lake) used to be a "Ramada Inn". However with the lighting for the last letter of each word not working, the sign once said "Ramad In". (For the imagination-dependent, say it slowly, pronouncing the first word as if it were still the name, but without the last letter...).

Second one: Dr. Pierce has an eye clinic in Long Beach MS. It is called the "Pierce Eye Clinic." Honest. I wonder if the doc gets lonely...

Oh, and one of the urologists that I sometimes refer patients to is named Richard Tapper. And yes, he goes by Dick. Dr. Dick Tapper, urologist.

Well, posts now must be a minimum of 3 characters long.

That's why.
