With a simple tag line of "Handmade? It looks like you made it with your feet", there is no holding back. Regretsy looks ironically similar to Etsy in the look and feel of the website. The similarities end there. Regretsy finds hideous Etsy items for sale. The items are then posted on their site and open for commentary. Commenters debate the lack of merit of the artwork. Some features even include a pie chart to measure the degree of "what is wrong with this picture?"
Most of these items for purchase will leave you thinking or wondering the following:
1) Why did they not start over? / Why did they not discard?
2) Why do people paint crude pictures of genitalia and call it "Art"?
3) Do they really think they are going to get money for selling that?
4) Is this a joke?
5) That is really ugly / hideous / disgusting and/or disturbing
6) no, no, no, no, NO
7) seriously?
8) WTF?
9) My five year old does a better job than that!
AND
10) I cannot believe someone paid money for that!
My favorite? This gem. Refer to questions 3, 4, 7, 8, and 10.
If you want to share your delight in what should be someone else's sorrow (versus pride), consider purchasing Regretsy Notecards. Even better is there is a Regretsy book in the works. THAT is something worth spending for.

I've never heard of this site before, but the few that I browsed through definitely gave me a good laugh! Thanks for sharing this!
Oh that was priceless Marybeth! I've added it to my reader!
what is priceless is the "works" that are featured LOL
and worthless to boot
I'm going to go and check this site out now. Thanks from an aspiring painter that has thrown away alot of paintings I thought weren't good enough. Maybe I should have tried to sell them like these people, only joking.
