32 Fascinating Blunders, Bloopers and Wipeouts [Edit]





32 Fascinating Blunders, Bloopers and Wipeouts (CLUSTER) 5,509 Views - Click for Slideshow

Whoops! This collection of brutal bloopers catalog the moments in time where someone’s royally messed up and Trend Hunter’s been there to catch them in the act.

There’s no discrimination here, especially when bloopers are concerned. We lampoon equally, whether it’s a lanky model’s face-plant on a catwalk, the wipeout of a semi-truck’s freight all over the highway, image editing gone disastrously awry, brutal eBay auction typos, embarrassing double-entendre URLs, or ill-planned ad campaigns.

Bloopers and unintentional mistakes are a part of life--so it’s only right that we laugh at them while we can, right?
