The triumph of bad taste: 15 design ideas that made us scratch our heads in wonder

Every day we leave the house and use our eyes to look around with curiosity and with very specific objectives; whether it is simply to leave the house to buy the groceries or to go to a clothes shop, a shopping center or to take a relaxing walk, we can happen upon some really strange sights. And by strange we refer to places, buildings, people, items of clothing that seem to have lost all reference to good taste. Of course, you will say that what is beautiful is not objective but what you like is beautiful, yet these images that we have found on the web seem to suggest the opposite: there is no end to the cult of ugliness and bad taste!

Don't believe it? Just take a look at this hilarious and absurd photo gallery where the design idea seems to have been literally taken out of the trash!
