The Daily Sucker

Daily Sucker for Thursday, July 10, 2008

July 10th, 2008 3:03 am by Vincent Flanders

Submitter comments: Dear God. Where to begin. Horrible flash animations. Frames. Cloaked text.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: There’s one thing about this chiropractic practice I like. It’s located on Flanders St.

What I don’t like is the FlashSplash page and the fact that the designer wasn’t clever enough to set a cookie so I don’t have to view the intro each time I go back.

This site makes an important mistake, which you don’t see very often — poor choice of link name. One of their links is called, “Who Would Dare!” and that doesn’t tell me squat. Link names embedded in text should be descriptive and accurately describe where they lead such as: Scary picture of an almost naked Vincent Flanders. Not Click Here. (May be NSFW. It’s certainly not for the squeamish.)
