The Gallery of the Absurd is Back!

In the before time, our friend Derek from grad school days at Purdue used to clip and post (on a real old-timey bulletin board that hung on a wall) disturbing ads like this. Then in the early 1990s, he moved it to the web, and thus the Gallery of the Absurd was born. The site won some awards and brought much joy to many people. But real life, job moves, kids, and professional responsibilities all contributed to its gradual demise.

But now, in 2008, the Gallery is back, better than ever. Once you start reading, you won't be able to stop. And now since it's a blog, you can comment, too!

Here are some recent highlights:

• Annoying J Crew model of the week
• A disturbing mustard jar
• And my favorite, the craziest misuse of quotations marks ever
  

Enjoy, won't you?
