What ARE these Realtors thinking?

I subscribe to Snurl's "Interesting Snips" email. (Go to their website and fill in the form at the right.)

Last week they sent a link to It's Lovely! I'll Take It! --Absolutely hilarious, in my opinion.

True, the house would look like this five minutes after I moved in. But shouldn't listings be a bit more aspirational?

But don't be turned off. This house has other fine qualities, like... um... a large, spray-painted, backwards "j":


And an outdoor dining area!

It's a golden housing-market

Half a million. HALF A MILLION! Half a million bucks they're asking, and they can't be bothered to flush?
