The Daily Sucker

Daily Sucker for Friday, July 18, 2008

July 18th, 2008 2:02 am by Vincent Flanders

Submitter comments: I’m looking for a podiatrist and saw this ad in the phone book. Besides the typos (hte?), the multicolored buttons just scare me! If you scroll down, there are also some “disappearing” and “reappearing” names (odd!), and the swirly rainbow bars create hallucinations if you stare at them long enough. Good thing I’m not looking for an ophthalmologist, huh?

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Another unfortunate example of someone providing a necessary service who has an unnecessary website. It’s pretty obvious the site was created with one of those horrid Microsoft Themes. The site is stupendously bad. It takes a long time to understand the navigation, the site uses multicolored and multi-font text, different text sizes, and the use of those animated GIFs is offensive.
