Did the BBC really just use "Fail" as a one word sub-header?

Indeed. Which either means the meme can now die, or it's part of our language.

I'll vote for part of the language. Something this widespread isn't a meme.

As an English dick, I'm fine with "Fail". It's simple and to-the-point. Much better than "Fmylife" or similar flippant things.

4chan is taking over the world. Surely the apocalypse is near.
