The Daily Sucker

Daily Sucker for Friday, February 22, 2008

February 22nd, 2008 12:12 am by Vincent Flanders

Submitter’s comments: Splash Madness — five splash pages before getting to completely empty content.

  1. Red Splash Page with “Warning”
  2. Black text Splash Page
  3. Really Boring text ..”history” splash page
  4. Black Splash page with some “mystery” control that does not load
  5. Blue splash page with “cinema ticket” to click on

And finally the content…an empty black screen

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I think we have a new world’s record for number of Splash pages. The movie file is about a megabyte in size and it would be better to make it a clickable link. Give people the option to load it or go on.

On the other hand, this site comes within a hair of being a personal site. Maybe it is.
