Submitter’s comments: Can someone say seizure???
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Seriously. The images make cause seizures.
Mr. Cranky says it best, “This is so godawful that it ruptures the very fabric of space and time with the sheer overpowering force of its mediocrity.” The physical structure of this home page is unbelievable. If I’m not mistaken, the page is composed strictly of images.

Submitter’s comments: Mystery Meat Navigation (MMN) alert.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: A very nice example of why MMN shouldn’t be used. We also have some text contrast problems on subpages. Why?

Submitter’s comments: The swirling cloud of links…
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Gosh. If I remember correctly, the government—especially the military—doesn’t support Flash. Of course, our swirling cloud of links are a swirling Flash cloud of links. This page also demonstrates why a liquid layout may not be best type of layout to use.
I will refrain from making any jokes about the word “intelligence” in the organization’s name.

Submitter’s comments: I’m on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean from you and I can hear you
ranting about this website even at this distance.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: That’s why I love my readers. They’re smart, clever, funny and right about 99% of the time.
Concerning P&M — WTF? The whole site is Flash, which is so 2001. Complete Flash websites are dead, dead, dead. FlashSplash pages are even more dead. WTF (Who The Heck) signed off on this monstrosity? What do the symbols mean? Why hasn’t this site been laughed out of existence?

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I like this example because all they have to do to make the page acceptable is remove the background image — and it’s not that obtrusive. Well, they should limit the number of visible posts to 10 rather than show all 799 (it may be less, but I didn’t count).
What’s really wonderful about the site is that I can’t tell if it’s a “loon” site. Most loon sites feature Over-the-top web design and are easily identifiable. This site’s content looks like it was written by someone rational and sane, so I’m inclined to look favorably on what s/he has to say.
