    Spectacular car photography (and I don't mean good)

    I can't post the pictures here for copyright reasons, but this is worth clicking on for a laugh.

    To sell his car on an on-line auction site, this turkey (for reasons we will probably never know) first took pictures of it on an old, scratched-up smart phone, then played back the pictures and used a camera to photograph the phone screen, finally posting the pictures of the pictures.

    Reckon the quality might be bad? You are wrong: it ain't bad, it's worse!

    It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.

    Oh great. About ten years ago we had trash the dress, and ten years before that selective colour. Now the current trend will be adding a smashed smartphone screen filter to weddings, parties, anything photos. The hipster crowd will be discussing the best smashed screen filter to add to instagram, whilst eating their smashed avo. The smashed screen filter of smashed avo instagram photo = #doublefatality

    Maybe this person is a bit smarter than they are being given credit for, with the ad getting heaps more publicity than it may have otherwise.

    The worry tho is that 100 years into the future, someone will 'discover' his poor attempt at common sense, and he'll subsequently be regarded as the father of modern photography!
