Tacky Decor
 

I know there's plenty of vulgarism in this world, but this has to be the acme of vulgar that I have seen this week. Apparently, Sarah Palin keeps what looks like a bear carcass, complete with head and claws, on her sofa back.

This really has to be seen to be believed.

I'm thinking pink plastic lawn flamingos... a classic eyesore.

Well garsh, don't you know, it's just because she's so mavricky.

It's a dumb-as-a-stump hockey mom sitting on a dead bear, a perfect allegory for her VP candidacy.

Did she make the shot and skin it? If she did, good for her. If not, it's dumb. Actually, it's dumb and redneck as hell anyway.

I hope someone from Alaska chimes in here. I have visited the state twice and can attest to the fact that there are a lot of hunters and fishermen there, it is a way of life. Chances are that that bear was shot for food and why waste the fur? If it were made into clothing many of you would find that upsetting as well.

As for the politics (and I don't want to start that discussion), the residents of Alaska were happy to have her back as a governor when she lost the election.

So what.
Its her couch. If she wants a bear on it, thats her business.

It's tacky, but so what? It's Alaska.

Yea, she so dumb, Will, she stumbled into the governor's office and couldn't find her way out, so she stayed.:rolleyes:

All I know is that I couldn't sit on that couch without checking over my shoulder constantly, as if that thing was about to come alive again.

Otherwise, it's no tackier than any regular animal trophy.

I wonder if it's actually a rug and she's just moved it off the floor to prevent wear.

Maybe she only puts it on the floor to make sweet, sweet love to her husband.

Becareful,I've got 2 in my yard !:eek:....xoxoxoo

Holy shit that woman's imbecility knows no bounds. I'm surprised she didn't greet them in her American flag bikini.

Is it just me or did it really seem like she really didn't want them there and they really didn't want to be there?

Oh, yeah. The bear. Interesting choice of - I'm sorry, I just can't get past Her Moronjesty.

'Nuff said.

Well at least she doesn't have wood panelling on her walls and curtains like you see in most American homes. Personally I don't think the bear is a problem, but rather that the couch is too small. Bigger couch and we are talking.

I need to bleach my brain now.


Personally, I think it's tacky but not any worse than stuffed moose heads over fireplaces or country cottage-esque decor with oversized flowers and fluff everywhere. To each their own.

K, I watched it twice, where do you see imbecility?
Yea, it's just you...I didn't see it...

Yeah, and the polmyer crab on the coffee table just adds to the look!

Just save this post for 2012 since it seems to bother so many folks! By then we can count how many more kids her unwed daughter has had & try to match 'em up with the boyfriends...

There are plenty of reasons to mock Palin's political career and ambitions.

Interior decorating though? Seriously? That's a "your mama" joke, and pretty god damned lame.

It's this hatred for no reason other than blind hate which makes people hate politics.

Are we still talking about this?

Sheesh.

i was far more amused by the pardoning a turkey segment from thanksgiving or some such.

as for tackiness...ok i have a problem with those plywood dudes that people stick in front of their houses. and i hate those little heart things with sayings inside them. it's not so much because they're cheesy--even though they are--but it's because they're cheesy in a bland way.

but i dunno--across the street from here (nearly--a few doors up) there's a 9 foot wooden clam, frozen in a mollusk action pose.
just past that, there's a 15 foot long plywood lobster flattened against a wall.
alot of fishing gear places have giant fish mounted on their walls, all of which look surprised.

in another place, maybe a sculptural clam caught in a mollusk action pose would be tacky---but here, it is tacky but i kinda like it. i mean, it's a mollusk action pose.
so maybe there a giant dead bear head on a couch makes sense.
the enormous polyurethane crabs hovering over picture books on a coffee table, though....



later:
i just spent a few quality minutes trying to imagine a giant dead bear head and attached rug-like extension on my couch. i think it clashes with mollusks.
whatever the reason, i'm not sure i'll sleep terribly well tonight.

It's okay, we know you. :D

...

Oh, and those disgusting silhouette fountains of a cherub pissing into a pool... complete with recycling hookup that plugs in so it'll piss for 24/7? Yeah, urinating isn't cute even if a magical baby is doing it... and definitely isn't something to put on your front lawn, you crusty human beatoff socks.

she's a MILF

Hmmm. I really thought this thread would generate more than one example of tacky decorating.
Something like this:

Or maybe something with more dead animals?

A subtle reference to the movie pink flamingoes, right?

When your house looks like an IKEA or Pier One showroom.

Blind hatred requires that one be blind. My frustration with her, McCain, and their party is totally justifiable. Governor Palin is not qualified to be mayor of a town of a few thousand people, but not only did she have the hubris to think she could be vice president, but she supported the most ignorant fringe parts of her party. Worse still, she was running with a man who is clearly toward the end of his life, someone who could easily have lost the capacity to be president. Palin running the most powerful country in the world would have been a disaster of epic proportions.

Tacky blinds?

I dunno, those blinds could work if th... OH, I get it.

Clever. :thumbsup:

actually, in view of the pink thing on Palin's coffee table, I'm surprised no one here has said "OMG Sarah Palin has crabs!!"

How about this donk for an example of tacky decor? Of the automotive variety. The baroque over-ornamentation. The oversized wheels that look like they belong on a Well Fargo stagecoach. The calliope of horns under the front bumper. The metallic baby shit brown paint.
I know that donks emerged from one of Those Subcultures Which Must Never be Questioned or Criticized, but I can't think of any other word to describe this except tacky.:confused:
Wait a minute... the word "silly" does come to mind.:)

That car is an embarrassment to our species.

Ah, wood panelling and curtains

Be thankful I left out the pictures of wonderfully painted wood panelling.

The car has to be a joke. The person who chose the paint was likely colorblind. And the horns. Oh dear those horns!!

I maintain the delusion that wood panneling can be done right. I've just never seen a tasteful example.

Speaking of nasty curtains...

I don't see anything wrong with what y'all posted here, except of course the bear head couch thingy. Which is why I'm totally hiring a gay dude to decorate my house. I'm dead when it comes to style.

Even my interior design teacher said the best interior designers are gay men. She was a straight female.

I want that crab!
I kind of want the bear too.

How about faux animal skin blankets and pillows? When I was in college we bought an ugly ass zebra skin patterned pillow and we kept it in the living room as a drunken conversation piece. Worked great-I have no idea what happened to it. It simply wasn't there after a night of hard drinking and smoking. I suppose someone took it home with them to admire in private.

on the op...

how could mccain ever let her happen...?

Hey, that's my room

you must be hannah montana...

Hannah Montana only wishes she had my sense of style
