Beautiful art, applied or otherwise, tends to take a lot of work, talent and creativity. But sometimes inordinate resources are put into an idea that doesn’t seem worth it, no matter how much time and effort one applies.

Sometimes fantastic talent ends up meeting downright horrible taste and we’ve gathered some of the best examples of that from across the internet. When I say, poor taste, I mean almost borderline offensive. Otherwise, get comfortable as you scroll through, prepare to be confused, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments down below.

    One of the hearts has "Orthopedics" written in it in Cyrillic. So I think it was made for a doctor, maybe after their first amputation. Not for a patient after THEIR first amputation. But whoever made this cake must have studied ulcers really well, cause the Iodine ointment stain is exactly the right color.

    That’s not questionable, it’s unbelievable awful. And I don’t even mean in a “never forget, America rocks, rah rah,” way, it’s just tasteless to mock a mass tragedy.
