That's exactly the sentiment Allison Tyler had, which inspired her to create the website WTF Pinterest.
"I started the site on a whim, as a place to share the things that run through my head when I see ridiculous items on Pinterest," says Tyler. "I didn't realize it would resonate with so many others."
The site averages about 50,000 hits a week, with most coming directly, and Pinterest itself being the biggest outside source of traffic.
According to Tyler, the posts that get pinned the most are the silly posters she's made herself that poke fun at Pinterest users. One, for example, is "Pinebriated: When you can't remember if you've already pinned that."
As far as the weirdness goes, Tyler says "you have to take what you see with a grain of salt -- but people re-pin the craziest things as truth, and don't seem to feel the need to investigate and discover if the pins are even based in fact."
