Idiots of the week

Filed under: mapofstrange.com — Paul July 6, 2007 @ 1:58 pm

 I thought it would be nice to highlight each week the best things that people have added, and then I thought that it might be cool to have a laugh at some of the worse things that have been put on the site.  I’ve already started with the first part of this (marker of the week), and this is the first entry of the second part - the worse things. 

 I’ve had two main problems with this, and surprisingly, it isn’t finding rubbish to talk about - it’s been choosing between the hundreds of poor entries that have been added.  And the second problem was thinking of a name.  I didn’t want it to be insulting, but I wanted it to make it obvious that I didn’t really think these things were very good.  So I’ve ignored the first criteria, and chosen to call this ‘Idiots of the Week’.

 The first idiot is this one - What???  Where?  How can you see people’s faces and clothes?  I don’t understand…

The second idiot is this one - so daft he named it twice…

It’s blurred and uninteresting.  That is all there is to say - why he felt the need to add it again I don’t know.

The final idiot is a classic.  I think he added this because he had read the blurb on the site about people doing this sort of thing and added this for a laugh.  At least I hope so.

Yes.  Mexico.  In the Atlantic Ocean, just of the African Coast.  Actually it’s almost at grid reference 0,0 which is cool, but it isn’t Mexico…
