Awkward Family Photos...FUN FOR ALL!

This site is strangely addictive!  Everyone can relate to the horrifying family photo that you wish would disappear forever.  The site is called http://Awkwardfamilyphotos.com .  I especially enjoy the "professional" studio-posed portraits, as a certain amount of thought had to go into creating these masterpieces. I have a special fondness for a few sub-categories of photos:

• Portraits that incorporate a mirror
• "Sensitive" photos of couples who are expecting. 
• Enforced posing of kids with clowns/stuffed figural characters.
• Questionable parenting skills, caught on camera.
• Photos that use superimposed double-images! Yes!!

So here are my favorites.  I could hardly choose which ones to include here, as there are so many great ones there...you'll have to visit for yourself.

Questionable parenting skills (below):  "Quick, honey....get the camera...then we'll check to make sure he hasn't ruptured himself!"



(below) What, exactly, are they trying to convey here??


Same family (above/below)..."photogenic" just doesn't apply to this poor family...


(below)  PLEASE, God, don't let them procreate!

(below) YEARS ahead of Lady Gaga!

(below) Further proof that clowns are just NOT a good thing....EVER!



But even scarier than posing your kid with a demonic bunny....

(below) This one raises so many questions.  It looks like it was done in a portrait studio.  Now, when she was packing her bag to go to her photo shoot, did she have a list of what to take?  "Okay...Glock automatic..check...watermelon...check...white headband...".
"...parrot..check...bayonet..check..."

(below) The superimposed double-image is always most effective, wouldn't you say?


Whoa....



(below)  This is one of my very favorites.  What are the chances that this child is still on speaking terms with her father?  Magic 8-Ball say:  "OUTLOOK NOT SO GOOD".
