I apologise but I just can't not post a link to this real estate listing. [More:]

via corpse in the library's It's Lovely, I'll Take It. I just... I ... I don't know what to say. In the extremely unlikely event they ever sell this house and this paragon of real estate photography disappears, I've stashed a screen shot here.

The photo is certainly intriguing. I wonder if the blonde comes with the house. I'm not too sure I'd want it without, I say she's a fixture.

Interesting. The page comes up for me for about a second, then redirects to a page saying that page does not exist. Despite her pose, I'm not sure that blonde is really my type.

That is hilarious! The fact that it's the only photo of the house makes it all the more amazing.

I'd be interested in having a look but, according to Google Maps, it's 25,586km from my place - walking directions say 213 days, 1 hour to get there, including kayaking across the Pacific Ocean for 16,083km in three legs and a total of 1,847 turns. I might have to take a packed lunch ...

Is it just me or does she kinda look like Jamie Lee Curtis?

I'm imagining some kind of tragic story behind it. Job lost, unable to make the payments, their relationship cracks under the strain. Weeping silently at the memory of happier times, the divorced husband puts the only photograph he has left into the ad.

That room looks like a hotel room. I think the headboards are even bolted to the wall. I think the other girl is on the hotel phone.

I was afraid to click the "view flood map" link at work.

I remember my parents spending forever looking for houses/townhouses in Tom's River. They ended up getting divorced instead. I guess it was just easier.

My mother told me never to view the flood map of women who behave like this. No matter how sweet they seem.

Oh that's funnier than I can take.

http://www.lovelylisting.com/ is hilarious and just the kind of thing I keep wanting to do with swedish real estate listings, but then the whole copyrighted images thing makes me stop dead in my tracks. I could do it under another name at blogger.com or something sure, of course, but yaknow, since I write about copyright infringement from time to time, I'm just trying not to be a big flaming hypocrite. I save the best ones onto my computer for personal laffs though. :)
