Here is my [humble nomination](http://humanities.byu.edu/elc/student/idioms/idioms/images/hit_nail_on_head.jpg). Discuss, or share yours? (Please note I don’t mean “worst” to mean “most horrible” or “most gory”, just the direct opposite of “best”.) ---

Wow, that’s poorly done, poorly planned, and based on a piss-poor concept. ---

At that angle, I think the hammer is gonna miss the nail altogether. ---

Gaah! _twitch twitch_ That image offends me. Lame, overused simile (or metaphor or whatever it is), _plus_ crappy drawing and crappier colouring. I can do better with my left hand tied behind my back. When I was in electronics school, I has a teacher who used to draw rally bad drawings of things on the board. That was okay, though; not all of us are artists. What made me grit my teeth is that he _always_ said, “As you know, I am not an artist,” before drawing it. He became known (and mocked) for the line. This drawing is worse than that. ---

I’m sorry for inflicting it on the world, but it just cracks me up like nothing else. I don’t know why. The horrible colors? The “almost but not quite” realism? The aim of the hammer? The BOLD TEXT?

I may say NSFW, but it really defies any category. I would go so far as to say NSFH, either. No, nothing disgusting, just some artist with some issues, and a basic misunderstanding of biology. BUT, if you were ever curious how seahorses are made… http ://www.cetacean-creations.com/xphins/horsefem.jpg It was covered under an [past thread,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=361216&highlight=dolphin) where posters’ commentary had me in tears. ---

For some reason this reminds me of that ‘warning sign’ where the stick figure talks about what’s going on with him in signs depicting things like ‘do not stick your arm in the woodchipper’ and ‘beware, hazardous materials’. Does anybody know where that is? ---

Imagine me getting these images in bug reports b/c they were causing problems in my app and having to examine them closely while bug fixing graphics code. You’ve never seen such procrastinating. “Sigh. Nothing left to do. Should I look at that fucking Cat Cloud picture or Dinosaur Campfire some more?” ::immolates:: ---

Oh boy. I have some more submissions.
