And a popular blog Terrible real estate agent photographs is showcasing the worst examples with droll captions to make you wonder how anyone ever thought the images would help sell a home.

The site now gets 100,000 unique visitors a day, as the photos strike a chord with people across the world.

In tribute to mime artists the world over, I publish this without comment.
