    Run out of English fails?
    Unless I’m missing a spelling or grammar mistake…

      25 is about the age girls stop making “pregnancy pacts.”

        …unless you live in Gloucester. I believe 25 is the age in which teen girls begin to think about grandmotherhood (is that a word?)

    I’m not quite sure what the little headline, “On Teenagers, Adult” is meant to mean – maybe that’s the fail? I’m pretty sure the missing date has been erased deliberately…

      The headline is acknowledging the logical mistake, written in pseudo-index style. This is one of those tidbits where the newspaper prints something funny. It’s a quote from a state senator, which was submitted by one of the paper’s readers.

        It’s a missing quotes fail then.

    now there’s a surprise, LOL!

    More of a logic fail — isn’t the point that you’re no longer a teenager at age 25?

  5. djspleen on August 12th, 2008 at 8:29 am

    You’d think teen pregnancy would no longer be a problem once a person reaches the age of 20.

    wtf u guys dumb?
    its the “off”
    its sentence construction losers

    • pannonica on August 12th, 2008 at 9:56 am

      Dear Dotty,

      The “off” is idiomatic and redundant at worst. If you’re going to insult the other commenters, please consider taking the time to properly construct your own sentences. Commas and apostrophes are your friends, really.

    There’s an English Fail in the headline of the post.

    • Liz on August 12th, 2008 at 10:13 am

      Yep, that was the first thing I noticed!

  8. Alexandra on August 12th, 2008 at 9:54 am

    “wtf u guys dumb?
    its the “off”
    its sentence construction losers”

    Are you missing the fact that when you’re twenty-five you’re maybe no longer a teenager?

    I really don’t care what kind of FAIL it is, it’s still funny stuff! Stop taking things so seriously and questioning why the blogger posted it.

  10. cj on August 12th, 2008 at 10:45 am

    Pretty sure that Julie and djspleen were on the money, it’s the age they’re poking fun at, not any sentence structure… think about it, teenage…. 25….

  11. Jodi on August 12th, 2008 at 11:16 am

    I think another big fail is the title of this post!

    pregancy should be pregnancy

  12. Randal L. Schwartz on August 12th, 2008 at 11:16 am

    In fact, the dropoff in teen pregnancy at 25 seems to be correlated with the dropoff of teenagers themselves at 25. The solution? We need more 25-year-old teenagers! Call Dick Clark! He has the magic formula!

  13. L on August 12th, 2008 at 11:37 am

    Should we be surprised that it was a Republican senator who made this comment? They spend so much time trying to ignore the fact that teenagers are having sex (and will always have sex, no matter what threats you throw at them) that I’m surprised they even acknowledge teenage pregnancy. They obviously don’t know the definition of “teenager”, either.

    I know someone’s already mentioned it, but… “Blog Post Title Fail”!

  14. cliz on August 12th, 2008 at 1:36 pm

    This is a day from a “365 stupidest things ever said” page-a-day calendar. I get it for my mom every xmas. You could put every page from the calendar on the fail blog.

    /submitter originality fail

    • L on August 12th, 2008 at 5:19 pm

      Not everyone has your calendar or even knows about it.

      /commenter tolerance fail

  15. RK on August 13th, 2008 at 12:34 am

    “Statistics show that heart failure drops off significantly after death”.

    Do you people not understand that you can no longer be a pregnant teenager when you are no longer a teenager! Simple as that.

    • Anonymous on August 13th, 2008 at 1:00 pm

      That reminds me of a Woody Allen quote… I don’t remember it exactly but it was something like, “after death, hair and nails continue to grow but phone calls tend to taper off”. Haha.

      /staying on topic fail :p

  16. Deeabluh on August 14th, 2008 at 3:26 pm

    People – you are no longer a teenager at age 25…there aren’t any spelling errors.

  17. minimimitchi on February 6th, 2009 at 4:29 pm

    in normal cases you stop being a teenager by age 20.
