FAIL Blog is a comedic blog website originally created by Leechio in January 2009. The blog steadily grew in popularity, and in April 2009 was sold to Pet Holdings Inc., owner of I Can Has Cheezburger?. The site prominently features pictures and videos 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. FAIL Blog will release its first book, Fail Nation: A Visual Romp Through the World of Epic Fails (ISBN 9780061833991), on October 6, 2009. Controversies FAIL Blog received a message from an attorney representing Guinness World Records requesting a fail screenshot of a page in the Guinness World Records website, referring to the usage of a "break this record" link, containing their logo be removed from the website. FAIL Blog promptly complied with the removal. FAIL Blog also had some issues with the video hosting site YouTube; it is currently hosting its videos with Viddler. Its YouTube channel has since been restored, and users can also view the video fails through the channel, though FAIL Blog did not seem to link to these videos anymore within the blog itself anymore.
