It’s Friday, and you know what that means: as you while away the hours at work, demanding some proper entertainment from das internetz, you turn your attention to our weekly installment of FML Fridays.

Hey, we understand the occasional need to bitch. But do so in a productive way. Do so in a way that isn’t completely fabricated. And do so in a way that doesn’t make you sound more or less like a complete and utter knob.

Life’s hard. We know this. Philosophers and social scientists the world over have expounded upon it. In the words of Tallahassee in Zombieland: “Time to nut up or shut up.”

And most of you should really, really just shut up. Read the rest of this entry »

The alphabet’s a funny thing. Twenty-six letters forming thousands of words, and all some people can come up with is, “fuck my life.” That’s a sad indictment of the state of western civilization. And while the BBC would have you believe the internet is a revolutionary step for humankind, Fmylife.com obviously sets our species back several millennia.

But that isn’t going to stop me from providing a thorough analysis on this weird little meme. Hey, it’s Friday after all, and that means it’s time for me to take out the old “advice stick” and beat these sad sacks about their virtual heads with it.

Welcome once again to FML Friday.

It’s Friday, and one of the ways we celebrate this auspicious day is by making fun of people. We take some of the entries from FMyLife.com and respond to them like it’s an advice column. An advice column for the oblivious and pathetic. Happy Friday, my loves! Read the rest of this entry »

You know, I’ve been force-feeding myself these FMLs for the last month, all so I can provide their authors with a little bit of advice to avoid further cursing their own misfortune/stupidity. And one thing I’ve noticed that galls me is the fact that every single one begins with “Today,”. This would lead me to believe that the moment the misfortune/stupidity occurs, the victim runs to a computer to declare it to the world.

Or it’s just a style choice.

Either way: dumb.

And either way, we have this week’s installment of FML Friday. Something for you to read over lunch. And then choke on your sandwich. FYL. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s Friday, and you know what that means. It means that in the absence of any kind of post from either Scott or myself over the last week — and I’m not sure what Scott’s excuse is, but this week, mine is TOO MUCH OTHER STUFF TO DO — our tens of readers can feast their eyes on the public flogging of those silly enough to post to FMyLife.com.

In our weekly installment of FML Friday, we take to task those individuals whose “woe-is-me” attitude makes them sound… well, like a bunch of whiny babies would happen to have internet access. It’s a way for us to vent about our own inadequacies without actually publishing them. Read the rest of this entry »

Damn, this FML Friday is late. I chalk it up to me being incredibly busy, and simultaneously lazy. I really really wanted to take the piss out of these people yesterday, but just couldn’t get it together. Big things are afoot in my life, and I got distratced!

So we bring you this FML Friday on a Saturday: a day late and a dollar short. I hope it’s at least entertaining for you. Read the rest of this entry »
