*"Ok, first off, what kind of f\*\*\*ed up family warms their house by burning their children's toys? Maybe the kind that serves their 9 year-old daughter straight black coffee for breakfast? Also, most people would have opted for a cheese knife. Not this family - they go straight to the BBQ tongs. PS - cool adopted Hispanic kid." -- Gettycritics.com*

*"Nothing says family outing like dressing up in your droopiest turtleneck and raking an entire National Park. Are they gonna put those leaves in their child filled wheelbarrow? And look at dad - this guy actually managed to find a store that sold a matching jean / wheelbarrow outfit. What are they looking at? Obviously not another young couple raking in the park - because who the f\*\*\* does that?" -- Gettycritics.com*

*"This guy is in a serious quandary. The music is too loud and he needs to turn down the speakers, but if he turns down the speakers he needs to take his fingers out of his ears and expose himself to the deafening bass coming out of his six watt computer speakers. While we would have chose to simply walk away, he's decided to close his eyes and wait for the battery to die. Either way, problem solved." -- Gettycritics.com*

*"This image is called 'Serious mixed race man'. Do they mean he's a serious guy? Or his race is seriously mixed. Regardless, this guy is way too cool for whatever boring crappy office job that is. Maybe if you put pictures of people in your frames you wouldn't be so depressed about your job. Unless your job is to make picture frames. In which case, cool frames, bro. Who else wants a 'Seriously mixed race man' shirt?" -- Gettycritics.com*

*"Oh god, what are these idiots doing? First, this is not an official cooking position we've seen on Top Chef Canada. But then again, we're single. Is this how couples cook? What's with the Getty piggy backs? Second, what the f\*\*\* are they cooking that needs every vegetable ever grown on earth. Do you think he'd be doing this if he knew that what he thinks is a knife at his throat is actually a carrot?" -- Gettycritics.com*
