The Daily Sucker

Daily Sucker for Monday, June 30, 2008

June 30th, 2008 9:09 am by Vincent Flanders

Submitter comments: You’d think that IKEA would know better than to use Mystery Meat
Navigation (and music, for that matter).

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Mystery Meat Navigation is most often tied to the misuse of Flash and today’s example is no exception. Ironically, Ikea is one of the few web sites that uses Flash correctly. By “The correct use of Flash,” I’m talking about using it to show you how to put together one of their products.

Yes, it’s cute. Very cute. For about 60 seconds. Even though you can turn the music off, just let it play for about 30 seconds and you’ll be begging for weasels to rip your flesh.
