The Daily Sucker

Daily Sucker#2 for Tuesday, August 19, 2008

August 19th, 2008 3:03 am by Vincent Flanders

Submitter comments: My friend, GlobeGuy, sent me two e-mails:

  1. I haven’t sent you a with a terrible globe in a while.
  2. Once again I find myself researching websites, and you know what that means. Here’s another site with not one but two ridiculous globes

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I can always count on GlobeGuy to come through.

I have to admit that the first site’s Flash globe is pretty and, as a former marketing weasel, I like it because it’s shiny. As an ADHD-boy, I like it because it causes me to lose focus of why I came to the site. Hmm. Why did I come to this site? Look at the nice puppy.

I think the second site has three globes (there’s a small one at the end of the top nav bar).

The only bigger cliche than a globe is a spider’s web. Thank God (or “Dog” if you’re dyslexic) you don’t see spider webs on anything but sites about spiders.

Avistar Communications (the first site)

SDL Tridon (the second site)
