The best (of the worst) MLS pics I have run into in a while!

Okay, I really try to avoid making fun of others…Especially when I can produce tons of goofy things that make people laugh. But, to the right is probably the best example of what not to do with a listing picture that I have seen in a long time. Yes, this is the one and only picture provided of this home….
I tried to think of captions:
“Drink 10 beers and it looks GOOD!’
“My timepiece with radioactive glow-in-the-dark minute hands was too close to the digital camera.”
“This photo of a secret XXXXXX is protected by the Patriot Act. Address withheld.”
“Just squint and picture yourself in this lovely home.”
“If you think this is blurry, wait till we spill ink on your new home contract!”
“Pick your colors before you buy…we haven’t decided yet.”
“This home has so much frontage we called in a Russian satellite to take the photo for us!”
“A streaker headed to the football game ran in front of camera. No more film. Had to blur photo. So sorry.”
It is funny and sad, all in one! Groan.

Oh crap the vaseline I put on the lens for my agent headshot is still there!
I like the “This home has so much frontage we called in a Russian satellite to take the photo for us!”.
Maybe the agent is intentionally blurring the picture so that it will be somehow be clear for people with blurry vision.
It is like they took a picture with a camera phone, then squashed it small, then expanded it to make it bigger. That is such a horrible picture. How can you take anyone serious who puts up photos like that up in a serious matter?
Josh, I agree. I think at one time the picture might have been good, but after messing with it over and over it has been corrupted. Either way - it is a bad pic!
It is amazing how many people post bad pictures. Even my cell phone can take better pics than most people post! Spend a little to get a lot, buy a descent digital camera - even a used one can be had for around 50 bucks and take better pictures, if you can’t do it get a friend or relative to do it for you.
