Keeping it real, desi ishtyle

What is wrong with this picture?

TAGS: None

Motel (low resolution image)

I took this picture on 28th May 2007, Memorial Day, in St. Augustine, Florida. The reason I took this picture was because there was something in this picture that bothered me. At this stage I’m opening up the comments section and my email for our readers to spot what’s wrong with this picture. Please feel free to comment or email me and give me your thoughts and opinions if any. I will post a follow-up on this picture tomorrow. You can click on the image to get a full sized image. Feel free to download and reproduce.

Clues:
1. Something related to desis.
2. Something to do with Memorial Day a.k.a patriotism.

  • I know I ain't staying there. I mean if the outside is so darn ugly, how would the inside look?

    Lots of Brits who own motels up and down the west coast(namely Clearwater) are doing the same thing, but still you'll see the Brit flag waving somewhere on the building along with the ubiquitous American flag.
    But, my first reaction to the shot was to notice that terrible shade of pepto pink!

  • The fact that the picture got a little over exposed, and the distracting portion on the left bottom corner? :)

    Sorry, just poking fun.

  • NPE

    I've seen this a lot in the south. My parents own a motel in Florida and one of the others in their small town put up a sign like this. I tried to convince my dad to put one up too just for a few days, but he refused. Strangely, it didn't even irritate him while I was fired up!

  • I noticed that. I also noticed that the tree is fucking hairy, like a big desi goonda looming over this poor attempt at a rear-guard action.

    "American Pwned!" is what it should say.

    The parking lot looks rather empty too. Glad to see that!

  • Whoa - I missed that (mainly because I didn't know I could click the photo for a clearer, larger version)

    Yes - it is sad that someone has to resort (BAD pun) to posting that to attract clientele. I imagine the Desi Motel folks up and down the street would be happy to let this place get all 'that' kind of business anyway. Heck, the color schemes and signs are more akin to Nevada brothel signs anyway :P

  • Too easy. A small sign that says, American Owned. Would have got more customers if they said, better hospitality offered :)
