Forbes Magazine posted an article about McMansions that was not meant to flatter the genre. And an unassociated site, SodaHead, in a shameless bid for web traffic I suppose, has been running an on-line poll to determine which of these McMansions is the truly the ugliest of them all.

There are seven finalists, and as fate would have it, one of them is from our neighbor down the hill, Arcadia. We thought it would be a fine idea to post pictures of these finalists so that you will get an opportunity to pick up on all the excitement of true Internet competition. Here is how Forbes Magazine describes what is at stake (link):

Architectural beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but some mansions are just plain ugly. Blots on the landscape, oversize and over-the-top mega homes are sometimes a pricey mishmash of building styles. They look garish, gaudy and full of pretension, festooned with too many fancy columns and adornments. Or, under the guise of ‘modern,’ these residences have as much style as a bomb shelter or look like they’re from outer space. Money, after all, doesn’t buy taste.

At the bottom of this post we are providing a link that will take you to the SodaHead on-line polling station. Vote, and please, vote often.


Here is the link to the polling station. You will need to scroll down a little bit to find the proper place to cast your vote.
