Parade of Homes: We are in the dark ages of home construction

This is the actual photo accompanying a story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about this year's Parade of Homes, with accompanying headline: "Parade homes are a bit more down-to-earth this year."

What an abomination - - the vehicles are well pampered, however. And the house forms its own skyline; a mini village of pointless roofline peaks.

Ah, the Parade of Homes - - only in America do we pay for tickets to learn what we're supposed to want ("Honey - heated towel racks!").

Down to earth? Hilarious. There's more garage there than house.

The "house" part is sort of peeking around the corner...
