It's actually the new concept in real estate ads - insert a picture of yourself into the blank space to see just how fabulous (or not) you'd look in your new home.

I've long wondered why agents would include photos of the residents in their listings. It seems the people behind this listing, which househunter Valerie found, agree. Privacy now!

Actually, it's Living Room Tetris. Another square piece should clear a couple of lines.
