Herpes Simplex 10 Sick Navigation

Casiology

My original comments: I used them up in the intro. However, I'd like to add that, just like Herpes Simplex 10, this type of design is infecting the minds of web designers. Please practice safe web design.

Reader comments: In the interest of scientist (suckology, of course) I wasted 20 minutes of my life exploring this banquet of mystery meat. I want my 20 minutes back!

Has anyone actually gotten the butterfly's plants to grow? Mine turn blue but don't grow.

This exercise in frustration is supposed to induce me to buy Casio products exactly how? Dunno what message they're trying to send ("we're kewl" I presume) but the message that's getting across to me is "using Casio stuff is frustrating, annoying, and a waste of my time."

Are there any inner pages? Or can I just not find them? Clicking on the random colors or emotions doesn't seem to bring me anywhere... and the rightmost circle doesn't do anything. Why can't they just have a normal site? Or do cubes that move around attract customers... and who are these customers anyway?

I think you're supposed to click on the watch in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. That gave me a new window with the real Casio website in it, although it took several minutes to download (I guess the server must be slow, or busy, or something.) Basically, then, casiology.com is just a useless piece of Flash that eventually — if you can work it out — takes you to casio.co.uk.

Why do I have to type my name in, incidentally? That's the sort of "gimmick" beginners put on their web sites to prove that they can do JavaScript, except this one's done in Flash.

CASIOLOGY is an ethos, a way of life. It is the search for tomorrow, the desire for the unknown. CASIOLOGY is the art of discovering your personal possibilities.

Wow - My BS detector just pegged!
