Stupid Pinterest Link Up

Last week, Sabrina at By Breenah announced that she was co-hosting a "Stupid Pinterest" link-up.  What?  A link-up that gives me an excuse to scour pinterest?  Well, alrighty.

If you'd like to follow me in the world of pinterest, join me!  I'm not as much of a pinterest junkie as I used to be, but I still visit almost daily.  Now, let's get to those stupid pinterest posts........

1.  Clearly, the person that wrote this does not know how dirty my blinds are.

2.  I like clothes.  I like them a lot.  But, an outfit is going to change my life?  I'm not so sure about that.

3.  I want to believe this was not an error.  I want to believe this was made by a person who thought it would be funny/ironic to include an error when claiming to be more intelligent than another.  Sadly, I'm not sure.  You know...because...dumb people.

4.  So...I'm all for creative Halloween costumes, but this "robber and a sack of money" one is cute except the gun.  Really.  This day and age, I'm just not sure that carrying a handgun (fake or not) with your infant while trick-or-treating is the best idea.  Maybe Australia's lack of understanding the American "gun culture" has rubbed off on me for this one.  But, isn't the all black outfit enough to make the point for a cute mom/infant appropriate costume?  The last thing I want to read about the day after Halloween is a news story that some mom got shot because a fake gun was mistaken for a real one.

Are you on pinterest?  Any stupid pins come to mind?

  1. I'd HOPE that the gun was only for the picture, but you never know. I can't imagine any kind of gun would be a good idea with everything that's happened in the past year or so. I was going through old pictures and during our senior theatre banquet (2007) Jarrod and I took airsoft guns as part of our costumes. To school. That would NEVER be allowed to happen now.

  2. Yeah...I'm with you on the gun thing. That's just weird. I hope it was just for the picture and that she wasn't actually going to take it out trick-or-treating or something.

    And also, I REALLY want that error to be on purpose, because yikes.

  3. These are hilarious and also a little sad. The costume one really bothers me to the gun was just not necessary. The first one though about the blinds I do not believe I think that is completely fictitious pin! My blinds are super dirty!

  4. The typo on the smarter than you is hilarious, and most likely not ironic. Hopefully the gun is only for the picture, you can never be too careful these days.

  6. Oh that last pin, that is so not funny. The gun ruined it for me. I don't think that is something to joke about this day and age.

  7. oh my gosh, so many things on pinterest make me roll my eyes or make me mad. that last one is not funny at all. everything else is cute, except for the gun.
    the nerd one - first off, anything where people are like i'm a nerd! annoys me, you're not a nerd just because you like to read books or insert whatever here. that typo though... oh my word.

  8. That typo. Sigh.

    There are so many bad pins they're starting to outnumber the good ones.

  9. I have to agree with the woman and baby. I think guns and children in the same pictures, nevermind the same room, when guns are out is a huge no-no. WHAT IF?!

I love comments, and I enjoy our interactions. I respond via email, but if you're a "no reply blogger", I can't. Don't think I'm ignoring you!
