Is this a trick to see who fails by running an executable from the Internet?

That would fit the definition of failboat, yes, but it's also a harmless joke exe.

What does it do?

[misterx.livejournal.com]

asks to install, pops up a fail notice. retry? yes. fail. shampoo rinse repeat.
or you can cancel and it says "failed" too.

You are a sick little monkey. That said, I virus scanned it before I ran it, just to make sure.
