After writing about the filtered messages that Facebook has been hiding in a clandestine area of its users' inboxes, Someecards received a write-in from one woman who checked her own messages and discovered a bit of life-changing news buried deep among the spam.
Because of this particular post, I actually read the article and discovered one intriguing message. A message from my biological brother. A brother I never knew existed, but with the verification from another biological relative, I believe to be a legit brother, and not an imposter. Without this link I would have never thought to check other Facebook messages.. And while the others were all spam, this one was not.
Thank you for reuniting two siblings who would've otherwise become ships passing through the night. Even if it took me almost 2 years to discover the message from him. It was because of that article.
You're welcome!
As news of Facebook's filtered messages made its way around the web, Someecards asked the Internet to check their own filtered messages and share the revelations over Twitter.
Some had joyous reunions, just like the woman who initially wrote in about her brother.
Of course, there were plenty of downright creepy messages which serve as perfect examples of why Facebook began filtering messages in the first place. Such as redditor u/SpicyPoffin's secret admirer.
U/jojewels92 found out the best way to make friends is assuring you are "totally safe."
And u/vivafreeva came across the perfect reason to stop taking the bus.
But, to end on a positive note, there was one filtered bit of treasure involving someone's first kiss from decades and decades earlier.
Run to them, JLaPook! Someecards would love nothing more than to be the catalyst that you reunites your lips back with that summer camp smoocher.
All of this goes to show that if you sift through enough spam, you might find some gold from your past or stalkers from your bus. Then again, it's probably all just spam.
Entertainment made for kids hasn't always been all sunshine and obnoxious songs. In fact, some children's entertainment used to be straight-up scary, as the illustrations on this list demonstrate. Occasionally, it was with a purpose; some of the images below were meant to scare kids into good behavior. Other images, however, appear to be horrifying without any awareness that they were being horrifying, like an uncle who describes his farts at the dinner table.
No matter why these terrifying drawings were made, enjoy the pure nightmare fuel of these images, and be glad that the scariest thing your parents read you as a kid was Where the Wild Things Are.
1. This black-eyed demon child with mouth rot from 1876.
Every time she takes a petal off the flower, she's taking a year off of your life.
2. This lock-jawed man who is living in constant pain and horror, 1862.
This is why you get a tetanus shot.
3. This cannonball going through a man's leg, 1922.
But hey, kids like balls, right?
4. This girl who's on fire, but not in the cool Alicia Keys way, 1904.
"This girl is on fire/This girl is on fire/Why won't those cats help her?"
5. This child who appears to have severe burns and maybe lost her mind in the fire, 1862.
This might actually be the "after" image of the girl above.
6. This adult man cutting off a boy's thumb with what appear to be ceremonial ribbon-cutting scissors, 1904.
It's good to warn kids about dangers they might face, like adults cutting off their body parts.
7. This girl whose doll will 100% come kill you if you don't do exactly what she says, 1862.
"We've been waiting for you."
8. This cat that is obviously abusing steroids, 1851.
"I FEEL GREAT. I CAN CATCH SO MANY MICE."
9. This red-face man choking on a giant potato, 1862.
It's fun to stare at a man during the exact moment he realizes he's going to die!
10. This nightmare, 1904.
Nope. No Thanks. No.
Bonus: The story of this child who killed his dog by accident, 1875.
Life's horrors can strike at any moment, even when you're doing something good and helpful. Goodnight, kids!
The story of losing your virginity may include that very embarrassing part when your parents unexpectedly walked in on you. The situation only gets worse when they're not your parents but your partner's catching you boinking their precious child. Sometimes before you've even met them.
The horror. The embarrassment. The struggle.
Parents find out their kid(s) is no longer innocent to sexual intercourse in all sorts of ways: a visit to the clinic, a father and son bonding at a campfire, or a parent discovering a cup full of used condoms in their child’s closet. Those are just a few examples of what went on in these 19 painfully awkward stories shared on different Redditthreads, below.
1. The parents of guiding_blind's girlfriend thought their daughter was into way, way older men. (Note to young people: before cell phones, families often shared a single voicemail at their house. Often using cassette tapes.)
After my family and I relocated, my parents found out I was having sex when the gf's mother left a voicemail threatening to sue me for having sex with a minor. We were both the same age and it was certainly consensual. Although they were disappointed in hearing it in THAT context, they weren't too upset. They only emphasized the importance of protection and that was the end of it.
2. This one is perhaps the most shocking on the list. DNAgent007's girlfriend saw one father have the most terrible day imaginable (unfortunately, a dog was included).
OK story time: Ex girlfriend was a veterinarian and one day a man brings in a Great Dane that has a nasty infection on and around his penile area. They culture it and ID it as syphilis. Dogs don't get syphilis from each other. So my girlfriend asks the man if he has any kids, he says yes, a daughter, and that's how he found out his 14 year old daughter was having sex with her infected boyfriend and the family pet.
Awkward day at the vet clinic.
3. zyygh's sister probably had a really, really long talk with their mom after what went down.
I overheard my mom helping my sister fill out a medical checklist for whatever. Mom was holding the pen and filling out the answers while reading them out loud. She was rushing it because she was bored. Paraphrasing:
Do you have any blood diseases? No. checks a box
Are you allergic to any common foods? No. checks a box
Are you sexually active? No.
Sister quickly interrupts with an awkward but resolute "yes"
Silence
4. noodle-face's brother is not a friend or family member you want to have.
My mom found out one day when she called the house looking for me. My brother, instead of knocking on my door, just barged into my room and found me balls deep in my girlfriend at the time. He went "hold on a second he's having sex" and left the phone on the floor.
Thanks bro.
He was 3 years younger too, and most definitely a virgin. The nonchalant way he said it was frightening.
5. On the other hand, isperfectlycromulent is a super chill parent you want to have.
Preeetty sure things were gonna happen when he asked if his friend could spend the night while I worked night shift. His friend was a girl. They were 15 or 16, not sure what age. They were sleeping in a pile on the couch (clothed) when I came from work, I didn't disturb them, I just went to bed. When I woke up later they were still sleeping but now on opposite sides of the couch.
It was adorable.
6. Redditors thought fearlessandinventive actually lost his penis in this story. Others wondered why he called his mom about losing his virginity. Thankfully, he still has both (mom and penis).
When I was in HS, I told my mom I was going to stay a virgin until I was married. She did a little snort laugh & said, "Yeah, sure, honey."
When I lost it in college & called her, she said, "I told you so, sweetheart."
7. JaySavvy got a birthday present him and his girlfriend will never ever forget.
On my 14th Birthday I'd had a girlfriend for close to 4 months. We were as serious as kids our age could be.
So I'm opening presents in front of the few friends I had over and I come to a medium sized box. I shake it. Cant figure it out. So I tear it open. . .
. . . And find an economy box of condoms. Everyone there, dad, sisters, girlfriend, friends, friends parents. . . Everyone was speechless.
My mom casually says: "I'm not ready to be a grandma. Happy birthday, son."
8. It's pretty obvious to know which of these two children is k-laz's favorite.
Child 1 - He had stashed his used condoms in a McDonald's cup in his closet, still filled with coke. I found out by removing the lid to dump it out.
Child 2 - She asked permission.
9. MrNicestGuy1's parents are as European as they come.
Not a parent, but I will tell you guys my story for when my parents found out I was no longer a Virgin.
(backstory) So as an 18 year old guy I had a girlfriend I met in high school. And we were together for quite some time. As i am European I don't have to deal with overly religious parents. So I got that going for me. My parents are quite laidback and we speak freely to each other. eg. If I said that I think a guy is a piece of shit motherfucker I can say that without my parents having to say I shouldn't cuss.
Back on topic. In Denmark it is quite normal for teen couples to sleep over at your gf/bf's house. So I did that with my then GF a lot. We slept at each others places maybe 3-5 days a week. But one episode stands out, as to when my parents found out is this: I had my girlfriend over and we were going to my bedroom in the basement. (Parents just above mine) and I had a squeaky bed. So the next morning at breakfast my dad just blurted out: Damn son we gotta tighten your bedpost. Embarrassing.... but funny in retrospect.
10. Youonlythrowawayonce should change his name to "youonlythrowawayyourvirginityonce."
Her mom came home early one day. We didn't have the door locked and she saw me bare assed on top of her daughter. She screamed at us both and demanded that I get out of their house. We never really recovered from that incident and eventually broke up on good terms.
11. emilyteebo's mom got two surprises in just one day.
My mother found out I wasn't a virgin anymore when she found the strap-on that I had accidentally left in the bathroom... -.-
Background: I'm a girl who is dating a girl!
12. gemiddie's son would make for the funniest sex ed teacher.
Went camping for the weekend, leaving my son (17 at the time) at home alone. When we returned, he waited until his mom was inside the house and said, "Dad. I had sex this weekend." I took a deep breath and asked, "Did you use protection?" He answered yes, and we talked a bit about the circumstances. After all was talked about, he asked, "Dad. One more question. Will it last longer?".....I tried to not laugh.....
13. thatguyfromnewyork's mom probably thinks Jesus Christ would be a homie about the situation.
I was having sex with my girlfriend when I was 16 in my bedroom, because we had a half day from school and I didn't think my mom was gonna be home. We lived in a tiny apartment, the walls were paper thin, and my room was right by the apartment door. Sure enough, my mom decided to do something she never does and came home for lunch, and heard us going at it (I was facing the window in missionary, my girlfriend was facing the doorway). She walked in, did the whole "ahem" thing, and we both just stopped dead in our rhythm. I craned my neck around and saw my mom shaking her head and snickering.
She let us get dressed, and then we went out into the living room and sat down on the couch to talk. She said she had figured we were having sex before this whole thing happened, but wasn't positive until she walked in on us. She said she didn't care as long as we were careful and used protection.
The reason this was so shocking was that my mom was from Ireland and was a pretty strict Roman Catholic. The fact that she was perfectly okay with it was completely unexpected. I don't think it could have gone any better.
14. Deroule should have soundproofed his bedroom or play video games elsewhere.
Not a parent, but my mum found out cause I was bragging about it to my mates whilst playing the Xbox 360 back in high school. My room was right next to the kitchen (just where she was at the time) and she overheard.
Next day she bought me a pack of condoms as her way of letting me know she knew.
Mission failed.
15. TheHorsesWhisper is totally a bro when it comes to parenting.
My son nailed the hottest chick in his class, I got him a steak dinner and a trip to the amusement park.
16. Penguin90125 gives you not one, but three embarrassing stories. The last one is just too extreme.
My dad found out when he used my truck to go fishing and found condom wrappers on the seat. My mom found out when she walked in on it because she doesn't know how to knock and goes straight to popping the door lock with a pin if it doesn't open.
My nephew was caught when I got my spare truck back from him and he left a condom wrapper in the back seat. So I had to burn the entire vehicle.
17. Fast_Sparty's dad will make you cry like how onions make you cry, except worse.
Child not parent side of the story here, but still a fun one that I get a kick out of telling. Had my first "serious" girlfriend at 15. We would go to the backroom of the house to study. In reality we'd screw each others brains out, and then I'd spend 15 minutes doing her homework for her. (Hey, she made honor roll that semester!) Anyway, it's about dinner time and we head out to the kitchen to discuss ordering a pizza with my parents. My dad is discussing toppings and mentions onions. Girlfriend says, "Eww. I don't like onions. They give you bad breath." My father, not missing a beat, says, "Well that doesn't bother me, but then I'm not the one screwing around in the back room." I started laughing but I thought the girlfriend was going to die of embarrassment.
18. Mockedidol's dad will make you laugh, but probably ruin Kosher hotdogs for you.
I was around 17 and had a girl over for the weekend. My father was really cool about us and having the opposite sex over so when he saw us exiting my bedroom my father while standing in the kitchen asked us if we were hungry... we both agreed that we were and he offered to make some kosher hot dogs. She said something along the lines of "Oh, I have never had kosher before.". In which his response was ruffling my hair and saying "Oh yes you have." Many cringes were had.
Scratch that, this GIF will ruin hotdogs for you.
Embarrassing? Awkward? Wait until you see more stories of parents walking in on their children and discovering their kids doing things that they probably shouldn't be doing.
To the unknowing few, 22-year-old pop star Ariana Grande may seem like the human incarnation of fluffy cotton candy, but Grande is a strong ~lady~ and her very direct response to a negative Facebook comment proves as such.
Like Connie Britton, the secret to Grande's hair is feminism.
The comment, in all its grammatically incorrect shame, reads:
Ariana all respect, but dangerous woman I loved but the trouble is that in he video salts like a whore!.. sorry for the rudeness, I only just said the truth.... SORRY Ariana Grande
Note to people who comment on Facebook: saying "all respect" does not make one's comments any more respectful. Doesn't work that way in real life, either.
Like a big girl, Grande used her words and put this guy in his place.
when will people stop being offended by women showing skin / expressing sexuality? men take their shirts off / express their sexuality on stage, in videos, on instagram, anywhere they want to... all. the. time. the double standard is so boring and exhausting. with all due respect, i think it's time you get your head out of your ass. (heart) woman can love their bodies too!! (heart)
Grande's comment has over 1,700 likes, compared to the 104 likes on the original comment.
The winner of this Facebook comment-off is rather evident.
Megan Fox showed a definite baby bump Monday night at CinemaCon in Las Vegas while promoting her new movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, with co-stars Will Arnett and Amy Adams. This will be the third child for the 29-year-old actress, but the first since filing for divorce from husband Brian Austin Green in August.
Amy Adams, Megan Fox, and small fetus.
So is this Green's baby? It's probably not Amy Adams'. Fox was seen with her ex, Green, in March, and she's been seen out with him a few times with their kids, Noah, 3, and Bodhi, 2. Are they just amicable, or super amicable (as in, totally doing it)? And is it really anyone's business but hers? No, of course not, but that doesn't mean anyone's going to stop asking questions about it.
Hailey Baldwin (daughter of Stephen and Kennya, and not to be confused with Alec's daughter, Ireland) was sort-of dating Justin Bieber for the past few months. This was hard for her, she told Marie Clairefor their May issue, mainly because Bieber has a very devoted-following.
Hailey is one of the kool kids.
"I don't want attention out of dating somebody," she said. "Texts started coming through, crazy phone calls...it's hard to date somebody in this industry," said the model, who if you blink quickly at her Marie Claire cover photo could be Keira Knightley.
"You have to have really thick skin and be very strong. You have to focus on the person and nothing else." Yeah, one would undoubtedly have to have very thick skin when dating a man who is simultaneously lauded for his musical abilities and derided for things like mooning staff at tourist sites.
Though, the two aren't really together. "We are not an exclusive couple. He's about to go on tour," the 19-year-old model told E! News in March, while also declaring herself single. An "insider" added that "Bieber and Hailey love each other but have a good understanding where they both stand at the moment."
On Tuesday, Jon Cryer was on daytime talk show The Real to promote his new book So That Happened and he and the ladies talked a little bit about how Charlie Sheen, Cryer's ex co-star on Two and a Half Men, is like Donald Trump. Cryer said that he thinks people like Sheen and Trump for basically the same reason—mainly in that they're both "willing to say whatever foolishness" comes into their heads.
Is it all just a case of hair envy?
Cryer started off saying that he doesn't usually like to talk politics in public appearances, because, as he puts it, "Who cares what the guy from Two and a Half Men thinks about politics." (Good point.) But this year is a little different and he sees his view as more relevant, since he's worked with a guy (Charlie Sheen) who also said "whatever came to the top of his head" (Donald Trump) and people loved it. "And they loved it even more when he said horrible things," he continued.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPxIqvRB-l8
Cryer says he's worried about people picking the president based on "entertainment value" because he "saw someone spectacularly flame out and ruin everything that was good in their lives."
It's maybe a little worrisome that one of the presidential candidates can so easily be compared to Charlie Sheen, for so many reasons. But don't worry about that, right? Hey, remember how good Jon Cryer was in Pretty In Pink? Oh man, so good.
Leonardo DiCaprio was (kinda) spotted on camera at a New York Islanders hockey game on Saturday. He was watching it at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn along with friend and fellow actor Kevin Connolly. Leo really, really did not want to be noticed. So the fact that the announcers made it a point to focus the camera on him and talk about it was a dick move.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d03j-0ZS8go
Here are some other attempts by Leo to hide under a hat:
Love is a feeling deep in your heart. But true love comes from the gut. Austin-based comedians and best friends M.K. Paulsen and Ella Gale wanted to share their hellacious appetite for love with the world, so they setup something common for new parents: a very intimate photo shoot with their newborn baby burrito. You know you've felt this way for a meal at some point in your life.
The pair told Someecards:
Ella and I felt so much joy when we had this burrito that we couldn't help but share our love for it with the world. Our burrito is so wonderful and we wanted a photo series that captured the magic of having and loving a burrito as we do.
Photographer Erin Holsonback was responsible for capturing the heartwarming photos.
Said the loving noshers: "Technically the burrito is from Chipotle and was made by several people in the store. However, when one has a burrito as we have, your perspective on the world changes and makes you wonder where we all come from. We really are all stardust!"
Pro tip from the burrito-loving parents: "As you may know, having a burrito is never easy and can be very challenging. We are happy to say though that our little burrito was wonderful during the shoot though! I really think it speaks to the power of our relationship with the burrito. Our photographer, Erin Holsonback, hosted us in her studio for the shoot shortly after the burrito was delivered."
"We hope that everyone knows how much we love our burrito, and that one day they too feel as strongly about a burrito as we do about ours. With that in mind, we definitely feel that people should have a burrito when they are ready!"
The comedians told Someecards that "having a burrito has been difficult" as both are constantly on the road, doing shows. Nevertheless, they say that "we are making it work."
Burritos have feelings too.
If you happen to be in Austin on April 20-23, you can catch M.K. and Ella at the Moontower Comedy Festival. They will also be making an appearance at the Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland, Oregon from June 1-5.
If you can't wait that long, check out the burrito baby daddy at the 202 Comedy Festival in Washington, D.C. on April 13-16.
Match.com, according to Mashable, put up an advertisement in the London Underground that has for the most part done little more than confirm online dating sites are filled with jerks. The ad is a close-up of a ginger woman with some ace bangs and a plethora of freckles.
"If you don't like your imperfections," the copy reads, "someone else will."
Gingers and freckled people responded with indignation at the dig, with one person posting a sign over the ad that says "This isn't imperfection. It's a skin tone." Others shared their annoyance on Twitter.
Huffington Post UK reported that Match has since reconsidered the propriety of the ad and are in talks to remove the freckle-shaming posters. "We’re sorry if this ad has been interpreted in a different way and we apologise for any offence caused, this was not our intention," Match said in a statement with silly British spelling. "Our overall campaign is all about celebrating perceived physical and behavioural imperfections, from having freckles to being chubby, messy or clumsy."
In other words, beware any other ads taking a knock at people's "imperfections."
Last year, Dolezal had this to say about her identity on Today:
I'm definitely not white. Nothing about being white describes who I am. I'm more black than I'm white.
After a year, her stance and identity have not changed, and she has no regrets about how she handled her life. She also welcomed a new son, Langston, named after the black American poet Langston Hughes. So she has really doubled-down on her identity:
I don't have any regrets about how I identify. I'm still me.
Her as-yet-untitled book will explore "this larger issue of if you don’t fit into one box and if you don’t stay there your whole life, being identified from birth as who you are." She also plans to share stories she's received from people around the world that are "caught between boundary lines of race or culture or ethnicity."
When asked specifically if she had regrets about not being upfront about being born white, she tried the classic diversion of answering a question with more questions:
What is race? Is there one human race? Why do we still want to go back to that world view of separate races?
These are all good questions. Here's another for her, in the form of a riddle: what's both black and white but has never been read? Her forthcoming book.
Zach Braff and Donald Faison's best friendship has outlasted many Hollywood marriages, and it would seem that the pair is still going strong. Braff and Faison starred as best friends JD and Turk in the comedy series Scrubsthat premiered in 2001, and the two have been BFFs ever since. The bromantic couple celebrated Braff's 41st birthday by taking a trip to Cabo together.
The trip was complete with all the birthday trimmings a famous (or very narcissistic person) would have, including towels covered in Braff's face and spooky Zach Braff masks.
Braff is truly the mac to Faison's cheese, and it would seem neither of them could go a few months without Instagramming about how much they love each other. They often jokingly refer to each other has their "boyfriend" or "husband." It's pretty cute. Here's visual proof that Braff and Faison are soulmates.
On March 23, North Carolina passed House Bill 2, a law that forces transgender people to use the bathrooms of the gender on their birth certificates, and essentially prevents North Carolina cities from passing measures to protect LGBT people. In the wake of the passage of this controversial law, XHamster, one of the Internet's largest porn sites, has canceled all service to North Carolina residents as of Monday, 12:30 pm, EDT, and they say service won't be restored until the state repeals the law.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BEEcbI-p2xd/
Right now, all residents of the state will see if they go to the website is a black screen. Not even a sexy black screen. No porn at all. According to Mike Kulich, a spokesperson for the site, that screen will soon be replaced with a petition demanding the repeal of the law. And not even a sexy petition. Kulich issued the following statement to the Huffington Post:
We have spent the last 50 years fighting for equality for everyone and these laws are discriminatory which XHamster.com does not tolerate. Judging by the stats of what you North Carolinians watch, we feel this punishment is a severe one. We will not standby and pump revenue into a system that promotes this type of garbage. We respect all sexualities and embrace them.
HB2 make it dangerous for some transgender people to use a public bathroom.
Those stats mentioned in the statement? According to Kulich, there were 400,000 hits for the term "Transsexual" and almost 320,000 searches for the word "gay" in March from North Carolina.
Xhamster's not the first one to cancel stuff in North Carolina; Bruce Springsteen canceled his April 10 show in Greensboro because of House Bill 2. But Mike Kulich is optimistic that the cancelation of porn will do the trick, telling the Huffington Post, “I think that porn has the power to do what Bruce Springsteen can’t."
After sharing her disappointing wedding photos, Jacyln Ying received a bevy of sympathy and has now become the epicenter of an Internet onslaught of memes. Ying and her now-husband signed on for a wedding package in their native Singapore and the package included a photographer who seemed legit enough. Then Ling went through the DVD of the photos he'd taken.
"It's bad guys," she wrote of the pictures on Facebook. "Like, first-date-and-you-clog-the-toilet-with-your-pangsai bad. Or, trust-a-fart-and-a-bit-of-poop-comes-out bad." Is she exaggerating? Tough to say.
Based on the photographer's perspective, Ying's guests had an awful time and weren't looking their best on their friends' big day.
"[T]his is not a flame and shame post," Ying wrote. "We just wanted to share some of these hilariously bad photos with everyone, so sorry ar [sic] if your unglam face is in this."
In a Facebook post, the photographer explained that these were only a few of the many pictures he took. According to Mothership, the photographer wrote, "Edit 900 plus photo for them they use less than 20 pic to URGE not SATISFY wanted to refund cash paid ..but [sic] they already collected those photos NOW put up in media to show the whole world and spoil our Reputation which no REASON which not Fair to us.."
Regardless of whether or not the photographer sent Ying and her husband some better photos, the ones Ying posted to Facebook have gone viral and, thanks to Kaki Friendship Club, have become memes.
Home makeover shows have given us the good, the bad, and the ugly. And then some more ugly. Really, a whole lot of ugly. Things especially get out of hand when amateurs somehow find themselves with paintbrushes in their hands. The BBC show Your Home in Their Hands and the TLC show Trading Spaces have provided audiences with delight and horror after seeing homeowners react to room makeovers that will make you grateful for your meagerly decorated home.
1. Pattern Overload
On the BBC show Your Home in Their Hands, people entrust amateur designers to redecorate your house, which is their first mistake. This couple opened their door to reveal a headache-inducing amount of conflicting floral patterns and colors. They requested the designer be "locked in a cupboard."
The TLC show Trading Spaces has given the world plenty of horrendous home designs, including this kitchen that is reminiscent of Donald Trump's skin tone. The homeowner has a mega awkward mental breakdown right on camera. It looks like they won't be asking their neighbors who did the paint job over to eat in their Nickelodeon-orange kitchen any time soon.
3. The makeover that turned the owner's world upside down.
Not every reaction to a Trading Spaces room makeover is tragic. In this case, one partner was totally digging their new room and the other...not so much. The designer decided to go with the least practical home design ever and just hang furniture upside-down off the ceiling. That will be fun to take down.
4. A totally sketchy bedroom makeover gone wrong.
In another episode of BBC's Your Home in Their Hands, a family handed their keys over to amateur designers to decorate their home, but they may as well have given some crayons to a kindergartener and asked them to draw on the walls. The first room gets a lukewarm reception, but the second one (1:10 in) is the doozy.
5. The living room design so bad the female homeowner had to leave the room to cry.
This room is hardly the ugliest that Trading Spaces has ever done, but boy did the homeowners hate it. The female homeowner even had to step off camera to cry it out, but her microphone was still on, leaving viewers to hear her sobs from off screen. Host Paige Davis is probably still cringing fourteen years later.

6. This home looks like something out of Little Shop of Horrors.
"At this moment in time, I'm regretting it," says the woman who just completely got her home renovated on Your Home in Their Hands. From the bizarre wall of fake greenery to a bedroom that looks like a John Waters meets Barbie playhouse nightmare, it is really hard to say anything nice about this design.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCtTLGKjShc
7. The Pepto Bismol look, for when you want someone to hate your design.
Just ask these dudes who gave their roommate a bedroom makeover when he was out of town for a week. They painted his walls a shade that would make Pepto Bismol look pale. Even though the roommate was a relatively good sport about it, he did want to paint it back, to which the camera man responded "We're going to help you paint it back...but after a little while".
