Nov 1 2009White House Halloween Captioning Fail

:O

DAMN PRESS!
First :P

oh poop you swine

Caption fail. Robert Gibbs is so obviously dressed as Dick Cheney.

lol fail.

the fail is strong within this one.

lol wat?!

yet another DailyFail

lol, obama such an idiot

If you go to the website, I'm pretty sure it's a double fail because the picture right next to this one they say is a astronaut and it looks more like one of those old fashioned dive suits.

then whose kid is s posed to be in the picture>?

the kid is obviously bobba fett... not buzz lightyear... caption fail...

boba*

I was reading that "eerie astronaut" as a Big Daddy from Bioshock... could be wrong

HAhahahahahahahaha.

that makes me mad

wwho f***ing elected these people?!

Pretty sure that "eerie astronaut" is a Big Sister from Bioshock 2.

You people who are talking about the elected officials..whatever they are/aren't doing has NOTHING to do with the Associated Press, which the story and thus the caption, belongs to. Blame retarded journalism.

To the infinity and beyond!

lol that was funny!!! <3333

No one messes up the Fett's name. Blood must be spilled. Now where did I put that plastic fork with soy sauce on it?

Buzz Lightyear?!? That's like being Pocahontas for Halloween and people asking you to start singing the Circle of Life!

IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN.

That kid is dressed as Boba Fett. The bounty hunter in the Star Wars movies.
Who is the idiot who wrote that it was Buzz LightYear? What a moron.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHH WHY!

@24, Yeah man, who did that? Hahaha, I mean, it's funny, because he is totally NOT buzz lightyear. Man oh man.

There's another picture that shows the Obama's with a woman in a pirate costume and the caption calls her a witch. So I think there are at least 3 things wrong with the captioning.

Before someone comments to correct my grammar: please ignore the second apostrophe in the previous post. I am very tired.

Thank you, Associated Press. I'm simply assuming you were too excited to get to the Halloween party to bother to leave one sober person behind to do the captioning on your pictures. I can just see you walking in the next morning fighting the worst post-party hangover and producing just a failure as this. Was it worth it? I didn't think so.

Insert obvious comment here pointing out obvious fact and error again as the post itself so points out, being that it is the subject! Oh and who was he meant to be again?......

Gibbs isn't cool enough to be Vader...

They've fixed the Boba Fett caption (even adding "also from Star Wars" afterwards, as if to say: "hey, we're total f*cking morons so we'd better go the extra mile to try to hide the fact that we don't know what the hell we're talking about") but left the other ridiculously 'off' captions as they were previously.

Besides Geekologie, the press is stupid/lame!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

I thought Peter destroyed that chicken after smashing its head in a copier and throwing it off a building! Look out! I wonder if those butterflies fart in those bubbles if they'll pass out.

Thats not Buzz Lightyear, its really a midget assassin.... They just took his "Blaster" away before meeting the President.

omg, what an idiot, clearly they don't watch star wars. this is awesome though

Come on guys, that's clearly Jango, not Boba. Geekologie fail.

@14, thats what I was thinking too.

Also, its been corrected.

Looks like a cheap china produced costume, so i assume he is probably not paid enough to afford a proper one ... ;-D

haha @29, I love you.
Way to go, AP. I like how they went back and overkill fixed the caption, too.

this is not the droid you are looking for

It hurts.... so much.... ouch.

discount Tiffany Silver Jewelry

hahahahah! I though everyone knew the Boba Fett character! Buzz Lightyear couldn't be more off! I bet the guy who wrote that feels pretty stupid.

Apparently whoever wrote the caption for this one has never seen Star Wars or Toy Story. His son is clearly depicting Boba Fett. Funny how they're both dressed as villains though.
