The readers have really kicked it up a notch with the images this week. There are a few I can’t even use. I was rendered speechless and that isn’t easy to do. I thought I’d seen everything. Keep up the good work!
Car Window Fail
I don’t know about you but I am actually wondering if this car even stopped. Seriously dudes and chicks, get out of the car to take the picture. That is, unless you have a sunroof. And the answer is yes, I have.
Rotation Fail
Why? Even if this image was facing the correct direction it’s still bad. Now tilt your head back the correct direction. For the record this photo had brothers and sister that were also sideways, crooked and had no lights on.
Gloomy Sky & Kite Fail
I’m not sure that there is any place that marketing skies that look this depressing would be a selling feature. I just keep hearing the voices of those creepy little girls from The Shining – Come play with us, forever and ever and ever and ever ….
If These Walls Could Talk Fail
After thirty-two years together they’d grown apart. The neighbors could sense it. Their friends had seen it. They were struggling to stay together for the sake of the sofa. This almost looks like art, with bad pleated drapes.
Have you ever seen a picture in the MLS that just made you shake your head? This is the place where the thought and the photo collide. If you have a photo you’d like to share email to mailto:MLSfailpics@gmail.com. We’ll make you famous and link to your blog.
Thanks to this weeks contributors Matt Thomson and Wyle E. Coyote.

Chris – I have to back Lani on this one. That made me laugh and I could even see it being a painting titled “For the sake of the sofa.” The rotation one is pretty amusing and common. The kite made me sad, like something bad was about to happen to the kid in the picture.

Lani, I have photos of agents photoshopped into images and a couple of other pedestrian images. I have to give black squares over their eyes to use or something.
No nudity, so far. Maybe the readers can look at that as a challenge.

Chris and Matt, thanx for stopping in. The Sham Wow guy didn’t even pop out, did he?

Again, “for the sake of the sofa” is just down right funny.
Thanks for posting these.
