Agencia de Noticias Uruguaya – An Example of Bad Web Design for August 19, 2013

Submitter’s comments: Pretty bad.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Saying this website is pretty bad is like saying Penelope Cruz is a pretty woman. Neither comment does the subject justice.
You can’t tell by the screenshot, but the home page gets worse. Much worse. My first reaction was to call this just another Over-The-Top Website, but the site isn’t for a fringe organization, political party, conspiracy spouter, or espouses cultish spiritual / religious beliefs. At least I didn’t get that impression when Google translated the page.
Ironically, this wasn’t the page that was suggested. It was the Journalistic Awards page. If you look closely, this is where the original Internet graphics went to retire. Just seeing them brought back wonderful memories of 1995-96—the 2400 baud modems, Internet-in-a-Box software and pages taking minutes to load. Ah, the golden days before the Internet became obsessed with accumulating gold.
Oh, yeah. Parts of the page may be mildly NSFW, depending on the weirdness of your company.
