I’ll start this blog post by linking to the website that I’m going to discuss today – here.

Go on, give it a click. I’ll wait.

Done? Ok good. Pretty weird huh?

Listen, I’ve been to some dark, DARK places on the internet. But nothing has left me feeling quite so empty and scared as Carpets for Airports did. It’s exactly what it says – pictures of carpets in airports.

The horror starts when you open the website up. A painfully slow video begins to load, followed by a horribly dated flash animation of the Earth covered in little red dots.

But it’s not until you click on these little red dots that you actually start to realise the shit storm that you’ve entered.

Pictures of the ugliest goddamn carpets you’ve ever seen. Be warned – they can’t be unseen.

If this website was buried away in a neglected corner of the internet, I wouldn’t really mind. But there is a thriving community on this website, who regularly upload pictures of carpets in a variety of different areas of the world.

And it’s not just neckbeards and nerds who populate this strange community. Several celebrities have admitted to participating in the weird hobby, including Hugh Dancy . He was even mistaken for a terrorist one time while taking photos of an airport carpet for the website.

Ok, we admit it. We secretly love this community. We’re totally going to start taking photos of airport carpets.
