The Holiday Light Store

Submitter’s comments: This is Google’s top result for the words "Christmas light store" and I can’t even get the store page to load. It’s the sort of site I can understand being a *little* tacky, and yet I still think it goes overboard.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Electricity just got back on after two days of going without. Oh, the joys of living in paradise.

Overboard? No, today’s Sucker goes overboard and sinks rapidly to the bottom of the ocean. My biggest gripe? There’s a whole section of text you can’t read because there’s no contrast. My second biggest gripe? Everything else.

There really isn’t any navigation as navigation is defined. It took a while to find the store link, which goes to a page that eats up 1.3Mb of bandwidth.

On the other hand, the animated GIFs are perfectly acceptable because they demonstrate the different products.
