[quote=Anonymous]Tasteless just like Mickie D's and just as quickly produced.

Think:  at least twelve  of the following:  circular driveway (or a driveway that is simply a circle), columns with capitals not known to any prior style, windows that do not either blend or match, one or more oriole windows, double height entry ceilings to match the double doors, an overuse of wrought iron, one or more balconies (typically a variation on Juliet balconies) facing the street, 1-2 turrets, a fully tricked out "bonus" room typically over a three car garage whose doors have been painted or stained to say "look at me", and in general a feeling of lopsidedness sited combined with massive square footage so that it overwhelms the lot and typically the existing neighborhood, little to  no lawn and little to no landscaping.  Will often have a foundation course that does not match or blend with the rest of the house (e.g,. stone foundation with a stucco facade and vinyl siding on the other three sides or will have cement blocks for a foundation and another type of exterior facing material for the upper portion).  A roof that mixes lines from two or more house styles. [/quote]
