That shot actually wouldn't look out of place in the first ring suburbs of Paris.

much of kitsilano and fairview slopes looks like that. Parts of Marpole and Kerrisdale as well.

This fugly has made several appearances on SSP. It cannot be unseen. By god, it is possibly the tackiest house in the country. How embarrassing would it be to live in something that looks this silly?

My personal favourite is this house on Highway 6 just outside of Jarvis:

Complete with random limo, stacks of junk scattered all over the property, and a ghetto dog house.

It's so corny, the Versailles of Vaughan also is bad:




And the Brossard Mafia Palace.

I realize not everything should be bottom line focused but there is something tragic about the idea that someone spent a good pile of money building that only to a) make the house hideous and b) drive down the house's value since few people would want to deal with something like that.

I hope it made whoever built it happy...

Dumbald Trump would be proud.

I wonder if the neighbours are also embarrassed???

Nothing can beat Guidoland USA, New Jersey!

Apparently it was offensive to fans of Nickelback. I guess it promoted fat shaming and poor shaming and ageism as well. This according to TRUMP apologists and gaslighters. Also Clockzilla was annoying to said infrequent visitors. Our humour was too stupid and low brow.

It’s a B&B so sadly there are people willing to pay money to stay there.

The CTV pays a lot of money to BM, even though nobody seems to like him, and he isn't particularly good at what he does.

Can anyone explain it?

speaking of unctuous, this guy had the most unctuous voice in human history:

nationalreview

A sampler (William F. Buckley debating against the absolute brilliant, erudite and eloquent James Baldwin). Baldwin's monologue is breathtaking.

Clockzilla and Kroegerisms were the best stuff. Juvenile humor? Thank god for that! Beats the grouchiness and complete BS slung by the mushers, rakeblockers and corndodgers of this website

Alan Thicke was another unctuous one! Could never stand him.

Now that you mention this, I vaguely remember seeing this a few years ago I think. Quite uninspiring.

Was on the 401 and passed Islington and for some reason, this only stood to me now. I thought, hmmm, it probably looked better in the render. It was the Quality Inn and now Four Points by Sheraton.

It looked better before.
