It's
the end of another week
and the Blooper Blog is back, my friends. There were some amazing gaffes on the MLS and in real estate advertising this week. It seems the need for truncated speech in social media outlets is relegating proper grammar to the past.Kudos to Weird Al Yankovic for the release of his new song, "Word Crimes." It is a parody of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and hilariously expresses the need for good grammar and spelling - a reminder these agents could use! Please enjoy:
Is This Colorado?
"Ask agent about grass" (No need – the bong on your dashboard says it all.)
"Large area for fruits and flours" (I believe that's called a bakery.)
"Trembling in yard" (I find bourbon to be a good cure for that.
)
"Potted pants stay" (Potted agent needs to go.)
"A house for generators" ('Forgot to pay the electric bill again, eh?)
Is This New Jersey?
"Drop in for smacks" (Call
Dominatrix Debbie
. for all the painful details.)"Sprinklers on auto" (That's what happens when you back into a car wash.)
"Free Plasma Giveaway" (Is this a house or a blood bank?)
"Ceilings have been raided" (So have your IQ points.)
"Completely mew kitchen" (Well I guess we know where the litter boxes are...)

Is This Oz?
"Warning – lots of stares" (The toilet paper hanging out of your pants may have something to do with that.)
"New tike roof" (How do you get the kids to hold on during a rainstorm?)
"Call for entry cod" (Well at least that explains the dorsal fin on the doorman.)

"Call for entry cod" (Well at least that explains the dorsal fin on the doorman.)
"Dishwasher can't operate good" (Alas, hospital cafeteria employees just can't multitask like they used to.)
"Applicants must provide OD" (Hence the crash cart and defibrillators on the front porch.)
"Applicants must provide OD" (Hence the crash cart and defibrillators on the front porch.)
And the Just Plain Funny Award goes to:
"This house is a dog. Seriously, it's a real barker." (At last - truth in advertising. I want to meet this agent just to shake his hand!)
"Donkey under mat" (Hence the term "asswipe.")
And the Blunder of The Week Award goes to:
"Poop with waterfall" (Good lord, man - I don't know whether you should see a urologist or proctologist!)
That's it for this week, folks. Remember: Spell well and sell!
