We were joking around at the Go Media office one day and our IT guy Dave was talking about how cool it would be to have a FAIL sticker to stick on random stuff. We looked online but didn't find much and decided to just do it ourselves.
So in the typical "just wing it" approach, we reserved the failsticker domain and got some stickers printed.
Oliver shows off the sticker in all it's glory.

We're selling them in little bundles for cheap so you can decorate your office or whatever. If you can find some good ironic real-life FAIL situations, send me a pic so I can put it on the site and replace the ones we took.

Ah, I just had this idea yesterday driving home... there was this person with a "NOBAMA" sticker and I just wanted to put fail over it.

Haha, yeah seriously, we should make those too. I think Oliver's stach is more worthy of a WIN sticker than a FAIL. But that browns banner in the background is definitely worthy of a fail!

hahah what a great idea!
you should hold a weekly contest and award something to the person who submits the best photo using the FAIL sticker.
and you know what that prize should be? A super large EPIC FAIL sticker that's only available if you win the weekly contest :) and make the sticker like stupid massive, 6ftx4ft or something :D

I got mine in the mail and am super stoked. I just wanted to let you know that I think the ink might be weird on the stickers. It seems the packaging makes the black ink spread a bit to the other letters.

Fail sticker fail. You could just put a piece of paper in between the stickers. But seriously these things are popping up all over the webbernets. Orders must be getting crazy I've seen you on like 3 or 4 of my random daily blogs in the last week or so

We mailed all orders from that time already. If it was sent to the correct address, you would have got it by now. Someone else ordered from around the same time and they said that the address in their Paypal account was an old address and it got mailed there. So double check that.
If the default addy in Paypal is up to date, but you still didn't get your FAIL stickers, then send an email to failsticker@gmail.com
