I never thought I'd achieve this level of web-based fame thanks to a very hastily knocked-together placard
failblog.org/2009/10/15/protest-fail-3/

...but more people emailed me about this than pretty much anything else I've done. I'm the one in the red T-shirt, incidentally.

You just needed
A man stood next to you with a similar placard that said Careful now

by an amazing coincidence (well I thought so)
the very first person I saw when I got there had a sign that said "Careful Now". I stood next to him for ages and loads of people took pictures. I must have been photographed about 1000 times that day, yet this is the only picture to surface on the interwebs :(

Surely not "Fail"
Fail blog users are clearly not fans of the Craggy Island Three...

Failblog has turned to shit
It used to have fail, now anything vaguely amusing makes it in, including win.

This is not fail. This is WIN!!!

How
can we turn this from a Fail into a Win, to restore some justice to the world?

I couldn't see any voting buttons, not that I looked for more than a couple of seconds.

was that at the 6music protest?
I was there and Adam and Joe started a good shoegazer chant of -
"what do we want?" "leave us alone!"
"when do we want it?" "for a long time!"
