Some would say taste is in the eye of the beholder. That anything can be beautiful if it’s done right. Others would disagree and say that some things should never be tried, no matter how well they’re executed.

For most people, decking out their car or getting a tattoo adds a nice touch of personalization to their lives, one that says this is my body or my stuff. But some people take that personalization way too far, so far that it crosses any boundaries of taste. These people put such a spin on style that it makes you wonder what they were smoking when they came up with these ideas. People who need to go back in time to meet with their high school guidance counsellors and ask again what choices are available to them in their lives, and actually listen.

Variety in life is nice – if everything in the world was tasteful, life would be boring. There’s no doubt that some of the objects are this list are excellently done – some are so good you’ll be scratching your head and saying, “maybe it was worth it after all?” But look again, and you’ll realize that there is no way that these items should ever exist at all. From highly questionable furniture choices to horrifying body art, here are ten of the worst images the internet has to offer – and five that are so incredible that we just can’t look away.

Cike (Nike Cake)

The first thing that you’ll notice about this cake is how realistic it seems – right down to the untied laces. Whoever designed and baked this cake is a true pastry artist.

But then there’s the fact that they used that talent on something as unappetizing as a shoe, and how disappointing the whole dessert looks. The slice that’s taken out doesn’t look all that good, which makes us wonder if the weird shape made the whole thing impossible to bake. And that metallic shade of silver doesn’t look like anything anyone should put in their mouths. There’s also the sad fact that this piece of art was made to be destroyed, rendered into a pile of greasy crumbs by the kids at some birthday party.

And biting into a shoe is kind of gross anyway – it probably tastes like sweat, dog poop, and shattered NBA dreams.

Face-Shaped Haircuts

We’ll start this list off with this bizarre atrocity that seems dead set on embarrassing barbers everywhere.

First of all, there’s only one angle from which the face is even visible – the top. It appears that these people are expecting someone to fly over in a helicopter in order to enjoy their work of modern art. Second, this idea, while well-executed by the poor sod who had to shave their heads, wasn’t even all that great in the first place, because four round heads clustered together does not remotely begin to form the round shape of a face.

If they really wanted to do it right, they’d need two more bald heads to form cheeks. More importantly, how many times are they going to pose together in this exact formation before the whole thing grows out? Next time these four guys have a brilliant idea for an art project, we recommend they use a more suitable canvas.
