Snapshots from my phone that makes you go, WTF?

Camera phones..
To an avid photographer, nothing good has come out from using a mobile phone's built in camera.
The simple logic is that, the CMOS sensor is too small, hence making the pictures incomparable to the real thing.
Many simple things are wrong with a typical phone camera, over basic settings, ISO too high (grainy shots), LED flash makes the pictures washed out, unable to select the particular shutter speed for particular shots.. I can just go on and on.
Even if the mobile phone companies boast about the gazillion mega-pixel it possessed, the picture will be too large to store and making the phone's memory card clogged up.
Take for instance this Samsung 12 megapixel mobile phone.
I mean, 12 freaking Megapixels! Some DSLR aren't even 12 megapixels!
Nikon D60 - 10 Megapixels
Canon 1000D - 10 Megapixels
Canon 450D - 12 Megapixels (Midrange DSLR)
Nikon D90 - 12 Megapixels. (phew, won't let some stupid camera phone tapao D90)

However, camera phones have their plus point too.
1. Easy to camwhore
2. Taking shots of the most WTF things you seen.

This are a few recent examples of pictures i took last month with my handy phone's camera.
This Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG wit the awesome number plate of
WTC 911
World Trade Center - 9/11?

Or cars with the weirdest vinyl.
Yeap. Thats P. Ramlee.

Hoo Shit Wan
And finally this name list,
I have nothing much to say except the parents have an EPIC sense of humor when it comes to naming their child. Why Epic?
1. Your name has the word Shit on it.
2. Your name is actually a question. (Who Shit One?)
It's so brutal that I actually feel bad for laughing at the poor person's name.
Sorry Ms. Hoo Shit Wan for posting this.
