Recent studies* have shown that 76% of time spent on the web is spent looking at pictures of kittens and people doing stupid things. Now finally you have an app that will cover you on the "stupid things" side.

Fail++ gives access to half a dozen or so funny blogs (with more to come in future updates – if the built-in poll in the app will continue in its current trajectory) including FailBlog, "There, I fixed it", Win blog, GraphJam and more.

When you start up the app, you get a list of blogs you can choose from – the blog you choose will be the one that greets you when you run the app.

You have 3 panorama panes with time-wasting content – “recent” shows you the newest pictures, “popular” shows you what other users like and “random” shows you… well.. random pictures from the site…

On some of the lists, you can page back and forth to see even more content.

The popular area shows you pictures from other blogs as well – it aggregates the most popular pics across all the blogs and gives you a taste of each.

Clicking on an image gives you the ability to zoom, save and share the image. You can share in email, text or Facebook. You can also favorite images so you can get back to them later and you can save them to your album.

You can also swipe left of right to move around and see more pictures.

To top all that, you can also get a live tile with one of the popular posts right on your start screen:

The app is free and can be downloaded here.
