HDR Photography...... REALLY??

OK... I'm going to describe a struggle. I really don't understand HDR, and I have to say I REALLY don't like the images.

They all look so fake and just, well terrible really. I am still to see a HDR the looks even remotely real. They are all overly saturated and have terrible tonality. I can't get my head around them.

If anyone has a link to a HDR they think is worth looking at, please post it so I can take a look.
