Parking Idiots in Singapore invites the public at large to send in photos of inconsiderate motorists, or as they put it, "all those idiots who can't park properly".
Just a month after parkingidiots.blogspot.com was started in March, over 50 photos had been sent to the blog owner to be posted, reports Singapore's Electric New Paper. "By June, there were almost 300 cars featured in its hall of shame".
"The cases featured in these blogs are usually extreme ones such as owners who park on two lots and on lots meant for bikers or the handicapped, and those who park indiscriminately and block the access of other drivers."
