The Daily Sucker

Daily Sucker #2 for Wednesday, January 9, 2008

January 8th, 2008 11:11 pm by V. Flanders

Submitter’s comments: After seeing a TV commercial for this paper company, I decided to check out their web site. The web address did not make any sense since they did not mention coffee in the commercial, and after seeing the web site. I understand why. Check out the HTML tags at the top of the page.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Boy, I’m also confused. “WeSellCoffee.com” only has a few references to coffee — compared to the other products they sell. It looks like the site is one of those “it’s a web PAGE so let’s cram as much as we can on the home page.”

Showing a huge picture of their grand opening back in June 2005 is not the greatest idea. It’s just a little dated. THE ALL CAP TEXT IS A LITTLE MUCH, TOO.

I don’t quite understand what the submitter means when s/he says, “Check out the HTML tags at the top of the page.” I noticed some very old image attributes being used, but that’s all. It’s a great URL being wasted.
