@Froggy56 Yah, me to. I think today just proves that meh has jumped the shark for me. I feel the same way with this site that I do with David Lynch. I miss old woot.
@atannir Yep, I filled them all out until I uncovered the first few entries in the poll, and then I picked an entry and submitted it (the ad copy did say to submit the poll to order). That didn't work, so I continued filling out CAPTCHAs. When I finished, it still wouldn't let me order -- apparently the poll option captchas that I hadn't completed still existed on the page somewhere, invisible, and they were counting against me even though I couldn't reach them. By the time I reloaded and filled them all out AGAIN, it was sold out. Pretty damn frustrating :)
This was totally unfair. I refreshed and saw it was a fuku and was excited at 9pst but had over twenty stupid things of asking me to prove I wasn't a robot. I couldn't get through all of them before it was sold out. Totally unfair. I picked all the trees, the grass, etc. then it was all sold out.

Clicked them all answered poll but its not FUKU its FUKO so jokes on those who ended up getting it like the King Tut curse. Better good luck than bad luck hehe. Bathing time now. Happy April's fool day!
HEY. Copy this "code" into the box below, and then notice that this particular "captcha" has NO FREAKING "Verify" button. (Listen, I get why you guys did this, but at least make sure the captchas work.)
I mean... if it was just a contest of speed, fine. But the captchas should at least function. I got one asking me to click street signs, and it was a mosaic of a blue sky with flags on a string waving in the breeze.
404 NO STREET SIGNS FOUND, Meh.
Honestly, I am actually thinking about ditching VMP for a couple months, just to penalize Meh a few bucks for this one.
I mean... I love Meh.com still, and I get what they were going after here, but I think they should be penalized for flawed execution.
I know the question is academic now, but how do the copy-and-paste ones work? Do I just leave to code there? Do I have to lock it in somehow? Hitting Enter just adds another line. THIS IS SO CONFUSING ARRRRGH STACK OVERFLOW ERROR 111100010101!#############
As I cleared some reCAPTCHA items more would pop up. Finally got it after 15 minutes and then was sold out. Really pissed me off. It's not a way to treat us regular customers.
@stuckeyjim I think it was actually a decent idea, given the troubles that Fukus cause and the fact that it's April 1, BUT their implementation of said idea was absolute amateur shite.
@Crixus Yes. At minimum they could have had a javascript call change the background image to sold out. I like a good joke. But to put us through that joke then not deliver a treat... That's just wrong.
Well, that was total BS. It's 9:25 and the page still won't finish loading in Chrome on Android, keeps ending up on the Aw Snap load failed page after starting to display the captchas. Good job guys, really makes VMP worth it.
Loaded the site at 9:00 on the dot. The recaptcha's kept freezing up, the last one wouldn't load. I wasted 15 minutes. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal but things have been of rough. As pathetic as this sounds, I was actually counting on getting this one as an ego boost.
It feels like trying to come a comforting ice cream from a store, having a bird shit on the ice cream you wanted, and then having the store refuse to sell you another ice cream because you had your chance.
What a shit show. Pure garbage. I did all the captcha's.....the ones that work.......paste this code valid for 2 minutes. over and over.......what a joke and not a good one......if you're going to do this at least make it work right. Bullshit that a ton were still sold in under a couple of minutes while it didnt even work right for the others clicking and pasting for 15 minutes.
Yeah this was leaning way more toward uncool than funny imo. Since the site has crashed so much right on the hour (has been great recently I admit) I thought it was just going nuts.
I tried it on a different browser and got the same thing. I didn't actually start DOING IT until 11:03 and by 11:08 or so when I got done I got the fabled "whoops, sold out, want to try again?" fuck you message.
I'll get you next time damnit, but there goes 10-20 minutes of my life on stupid ass trees/signs/street names/stupid shit. I'm a damn April Fool for sure
I was probably one of the few people who thought the whole thing was pretty funny. But then again, I came here waaaaaay too late to have ever had a shot at a Fuko, so that may have been part of it.
@bluejester I hope for the sake of humanity you aren't "one of the few" I found it to be hilarious, and some of my posts may not have been received kindly. But fuck em if they can't take a joke. lol
I told myself once I hit 30 meh's in a row I would cancel my VMP subscription. Look what happened to be the 30th, another L for the collection. This probably will come off as bitter but meh.
hey guys, all we have to do is prove on a daily bases that's we're not a robot. I'm not sure how we could do that but maybe this song will have some suggestions
@nadroj translation for those who can't lip read?
@eulestadt FUKU!!!!
Ugh
@chevybassguy , right?
@thismyusername This makes me wanna dance. Does that mean I'm a robot?
This is how meh.com looks to me now.
@Froggy56 well you seem to be avoiding the question.....
@thismyusername I thought it was a bug. Now I realize that I'm just not hip enough to the quirky humor these guys have...
@Froggy56 Yah, me to. I think today just proves that meh has jumped the shark for me. I feel the same way with this site that I do with David Lynch. I miss old woot.
That was annoying
but I got it
This is amazing. I had them all, or so I thought... There were three in the middle column that were stuck spinning. Reload. Try again.
@atannir Yep, I filled them all out until I uncovered the first few entries in the poll, and then I picked an entry and submitted it (the ad copy did say to submit the poll to order).

@thismyusername "Here I am, brain the size of a planet . . ."
Is it wrong that I identify with Marvin? Don't answer that question.
I stayed up for some weird robot check/shopping bag? I sure hope meh has been hacked rather than waste my time with this.
@claussed
@claussed april fools...
10 minutes of clicking pictures on mobile for it to be sold out. Son of a...
@sparky4596 Yeah. I was stuck as a passenger in a car frantically trying to get all the captchas done which was god damn infuriating.
First time I've ever truly hated Meh.
@Raptor_007 Ditto
@Raptor_007
Congrats and welcome!
Yes I am. Suckers.
@Ignorant
it was a fuku for april fools
Sadness.... if I had been a robot, I probably could have clicked it all fast enough for it not to be sold out.
This was totally unfair. I refreshed and saw it was a fuku and was excited at 9pst but had over twenty stupid things of asking me to prove I wasn't a robot. I couldn't get through all of them before it was sold out. Totally unfair. I picked all the trees, the grass, etc. then it was all sold out.
....
It only just now occurred to me that the many CAPTCHAs on that page might've been some sort of April Fool's Joke.
If it turns out that it really is...
I'm not entirely sure I can promise that I won't PLUMMEL THE GUY BEHIND IT WITH A BASEBALL BAT!
@MercWithMouth So stealing this! LOL
@MercWithMouth If you don't take a bat the them I will
@MercWithMouth This is classic George Carlin.
This was f'ed up. So stupid and will piss off a lot of regulars.
@kajoiner That's what it did for me. Still March 31 here in Oregun.
@claussed Not for us horrible east coasters!
@kajoiner its April fools, something funky will always be happening, last year the entire webpage spun so you couldnt click the buy button https://meh.com/deals/fukobukuro?utm_campaign=Commission+Junction+-+10956019&utm_source=Commission+Junction+Publisher+-+6340762&utm_medium=affiliate+-+home.woot
@communist HEY! Don't raep the Internet! You need to get its consent before oyu spin-it-around like that!
@joelmw Amen!
LOL, clicked them all, answer the poll. Still called me a bot. Damn
Fuck you. Just straight up fuck you..
@BadTouchRobot You ARE a robot!
That was mean.
Wow.
Good one.

Dear meh. I hate you!
Hah
Clicked them all answered poll but its not FUKU its FUKO so jokes on those who ended up getting it like the King Tut curse. Better good luck than bad luck hehe. Bathing time now. Happy April's fool day!

Fuck off
It would load the page and then kick me because it "couldn't display correctly." Way to fuck over mobile users...
@fuzzyninja Was having same issue on my mobile... womp wom womp
I gave up. I was dealing with the stupid things and then the page refreshed from some unknown reason. Lame.
I hate "I'm not a robot" proof-of-life thingys. I hate April Fool's jokes! I just want to buy stuff!
Son of a dick
@tdoss Hey, that must be where we get the names Dixon and Dickerson.
Ma'am you have suffered an emotional trauma
I think I'm done with this shit.
@Metalguru Roger that.
@Metalguru No you're not, you'll be back.
Why would you do such a thing to such an emotionally unstable community?
I know the question is academic now, but how do the copy-and-paste ones work? Do I just leave to code there? Do I have to lock it in somehow? Hitting Enter just adds another line. THIS IS SO CONFUSING ARRRRGH STACK OVERFLOW ERROR 111100010101!#############
@dannybeans THIS. I had the same question. See my comments above. There was no verify button or any way to submit the pasted "code".
I don't dislike the idea of captcha-fest, but they should at least work properly, from a technical / design standpoint.
@dannybeans same here
Yeah, the front page of Meh seriously fucked up both my PC and my tablet. What a mess.
damn.
@daveinwarsh Yeah. They really don't care about us do they... but they're awesome even with that. Still. Damn.
As I cleared some reCAPTCHA items more would pop up. Finally got it after 15 minutes and then was sold out. Really pissed me off. It's not a way to treat us regular customers.

We get it, it's april fools
I tried... my first time leaving a comment but am becoming a meh groupie. Love the fun... maybe I'll get LUCKY next time.
@sohmageek Does he count? I mean he's not even really there...
@thismyusername computer controlled hologram. I mean other than the typical metal body. I'd say yes.
ok, I'm done... If someone else wants to find robots to post :)
Read my lips Meh --- I am NOT a fukoing robot!
Loaded the site at 9:00 on the dot. The recaptcha's kept freezing up, the last one wouldn't load. I wasted 15 minutes. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal but things have been of rough. As pathetic as this sounds, I was actually counting on getting this one as an ego boost.

fuck this site
I am far too slow to be a robot.
What a shit show. Pure garbage. I did all the captcha's.....the ones that work.......paste this code valid for 2 minutes. over and over.......what a joke and not a good one......if you're going to do this at least make it work right. Bullshit that a ton were still sold in under a couple of minutes while it didnt even work right for the others clicking and pasting for 15 minutes.
@thismyusername I had forgotten how much I enjoyed this song when I first heard it.
So, evidently, if you have a phone, and answer all the captcha, and vote in the pole, the site still claims your a robot, and won't let you buy...
@panafonics I think the April 1st prank here is that it's not real...
Did anyone get their item, or was the "sold out" part of the f@&!ing prank?!
Enough captchas to continuously crash Chrome. What a great april fools joke.
@tehdopefish Firefox still running fine with everything! Then again I'm also running Linux so that helps...
Grumble Grumble
@soma geek : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F0HSUOaoZCM
OK how do you make a video show up as a video?

Yes, yes I am a robot, but I haven't come out to my family yet, so let's just keep it in the closet for now, mkay?
@KDemo no, no you are a

Good one, Meh.com. Absolutely hilarious. Although, most here wom't agree witg me.

I'm not a robot, but sometimes I used to feel I was leaning hard into becoming a Stepford Wife.
THAT was scary!
Going to bed at 10pm has its advantages.
For some reason the page also crashes for me after a few seconds. At least I have screenshots to remember it by!

Cleverbot would be clever if it wasn't being fed by humans.
Beep book beep beep boop
Well...that made me question my humanity. I'm not sure if I am a robot or not.
Select a grainy, low-res picture which contains highly atypical examples of a certain thing...
I hate Meh's only guts!!!
Am i a robot?
Heh heh heh.....
No and it's totally unfair that we don't get to buy fukobukuros.
