- 08/15/13 04:52 PM
Advertising gaffes to give you laughs Wow – the MLS and real estate advertising gaffes this week were over the top, my friends! Welcome back to the Blooper Blog. Thanks to Patty Da Silva of Davie Florida and Michael Jacobs of Pasadena for their contributions, which left me a bit speechless, I must admit.
If you can figure out some of these, please jump right in:
Abbreviation Innovation “Needs TLB” (Tiny Little Buyers? Ten Light beers? Two Large Boobies?)

mls: "Thin is a fixer" - The Straight Skinny on MLS Bloopers
- 08/08/13 05:19 PM
It’s Blooper Day again, my friends. I think the summer heat has fried a few brain cells… or perhaps I am just new to “creative marketing.” You be the judge. Thanks to Bryan Robertson of Palo Alto, CA and Jane Peters of Los Angeles for their side-splitting contributions. Names have been withheld to protect the incompetent.
Off to the Races “Great ride off” (It’s a house, pal - not the Kentucky Derby!)
“New obligation system installed” (If you're in Jersey, that's Carlo “The Convincer” Capolini and his friendly vice grips.)
“Fool pad” (The soft spot between your ears?)
“Thin is a fixer.” (Try telling that to Bruce … (36 comments)

Ah, yes – it’s Blooper Day again, my friends. I have so much fun collecting these MLS gaffes from all over the U.S., it should be illegal. Check out these real estate listing and advertising bloopers if you want to laugh until you cry:
Waterlogged "New sob just arrived" (Oh, did the seller hit you upside your head with a dictionary?)
“Overlooks the rezervwa” (This must be a body of water in Poland.)
“This house will speak to you” (Not anymore - I take drugs for that.)
“No feet!” (And yet you’ve done such a fine job of running amuck…)

mls: "Sighs of moisture" - Are MLS Bloopers Drowning Your Listings?
- 07/22/13 05:04 PM
It’s not Blooper Day until Friday folks, but I missed last Friday due to travel. Thus, I want to make it up to you with a midweek post. (I will still post Friday as usual.) Last week I found everything from cod to chaos in the MLS and other real estate advertisements. Some of these gaffes were hard to decipher, but they were all darn funny. These were my favorites:
Are You Lost? “Please leave our phone #” (If you’re that lost, you need a trail of bread crumbs.)
“Send daft” (So they found your missing twin?)
“Great food from the dell” (Well, “Heigh ho the … (17 comments)

- 07/05/13 03:09 AM
Only a week has passed since the last Blooper Reel, and I have enough submissions to write a book. Some of these made me laugh aloud, but of course, I do drink a lot… Check out these humorous gaffes, which I hope will make your holiday even more fun:
This is a Gas “Gassy yard with trails” (When you’re leaving trails, that’s more than a gas problem, my friend.)
“Check our Titter page” (I suppose even boobs need social networking.)
“Shed with tool” (I assume you are the tool?)
“Bubble gaass” (If you're expelling bubbles, back away from the stove.)

- 06/27/13 05:29 PM
Hi, Friends – welcome to this week’s MLS blooper reel. I know we all depend on technology to expedite business transactions and marketing, but I wonder what is being lost in the process. Spelling? Proofreading? Common sense? Be sure to spell check AND proofread before hitting “submit,” or you could end up in the Blooper Hall of Fame like these pimps. Uh, I mean perps:
Hello Siri, Good-bye Sanity “The sun will curse your blues” ( …And the seller will curse your spelling.)
“No more cramps closets” (Hmmm...closets in menopause.)
“Buy ow!” (Yes, there’s a lot of pain that comes with … (43 comments)

- 06/13/13 04:53 PM
Whoa, there sure were a lot of bloopers on the MLS and in real estate advertising this week, friends! As the market picks up, the spelling and proofreading seems to go down. Get a load of these “quackers”:
Quack Quack "Duck work not complete" (That explains the webbed foot in the driveway.)

mls: "Natural wildlife coroner" - Are Bloopers Killing Your Listings?
- 05/17/13 02:57 AM
It’s Blooper day once again, my friends. There were enough typo casualties in the nationwide MLS listings this past week to fill an English Grammar ER. These are the cases that required serious triage, and of course, I was happy to help. Please enjoy:
The Oozy “Nice wounded area” (The area where the arrow impaled your skull, no doubt.)
“Calf after 7 pm.” (Apparently someone is having sliders for dinner…)

The blooper reel is back, friends. Never does a week go by without a rash of contributions of bloopers from all over the U.S. Some are baffling, while others are simply hysterical. These were my favorites from this week’s whoppers. Please enjoy:

April 1 has come and gone, but fools are here to stay. Nowhere is it more apparent than on the MLS and in real estate ads. These marketing errors have been submitted from all over the U.S. and Canada. Check out these blooper dandies, friends:

- 03/14/13 05:54 PM
It's Friday, and the Blooper Scooper is back, friends. The MLS and local real estate advertising provided a bumper crop of blunders this week, as submissions from all over the country rolled in. Thanks to Susan McCall of Portland, Patty Da Silva of Davie, Florida and L.A.’s home girl, Jane Peters, for adding to the fun. I know you all agree that it’s time we start proofreading, using spell-check, and avoiding Siri, but then how else could we legally have this much fun? Enjoy the laughs:
