The song is "Five Years Time" by Noah and the Whale.

As old men on the Internet go, you don't "get" the use of EPIC FAIL.

Usually associated with simple phrasical memes, not 4 minute long videos.

But, thank you grandpa!

StillNon for the Epic Fail!

@4: And the music playing in the background of your post is the ironically unironic "Ironic" by Alanis. You know, for Quadruple Epic Fail Bonus Points!!!!11one

And if you pay attention to your post, there's a split second where you can see the director's glasses in the rearview mirror.

Doesn't it kinda sound like that first exploited toddler says "God created Anna and Eve"?

StillNon has to be one of the worst SLOG-er ever.

Thanx for the link, Mr. Grandy.

Use for neo-colloquialisms such as win!, fail!, FTW, epic fail, etc. is still obtuse enough to be open to nearly any application. The only determinant of whether one or another is appropriate will depend on its popular usage as the definitions clarify.

In short, Dan can use EPIC FAIL however he wants, and if we get it, he has succeeded.

Yah, I love this video. I don't get it. If a Catholic adoption agency doesn't want to adopt to gay couples, why wouldn't they adopt to Jewish or Protestant couples? Its just common sense. This is America. We don't discriminate here. That Maggie Gallagher ought to move to Russia, or China, or something.

I agree with the sentiment, but the lame PowerPoint aesthetic of the video makes my teeth hurt.
