The Daily Sucker

Daily Sucker #2 for Monday, July 7, 2008

July 7th, 2008 2:02 am by Vincent Flanders

Submitter comments: This web page sucks in the classic form of sucking. No overuse of Javascript, no using Flash where plain HTML would do. It’s just downright bad.

It has a bright blue background with red, white, blue, and black text. Note that some of that black text has a yellow background. This web page overuses contrast, except for the blue text (that you can find if you look really hard) randomly thrown in with text.

To make sure you don’t lust over an image of a box of yodels, they’ve gone ahead and disabled right click for you. The funny thing is that the script to disable right click doesn’t even work (when you use Firefox). The right click menu shows up after you press “OK.”

Vincent Flanders’ comments: This charmer uses 370 <FONT> tags. Yes, 370! The page has more <META> tags than almost any other site I’ve seen, but they don’t have a DOCTYPE. This is crazy. Oh, the page goes on forever.
