Submitter’s comments: Here’s an example of a Page That Goes On Forever on an Over-the-top Website.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: I think that succinctly sums it up.
The submitter’s phrase “Page That Goes on Forever” reminds me of a line from one of my favorite Joe Ely songs—The Road Goes on Forever (once you’re on the page, click the play button):
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
If Joe were to write a song about this page, the line would be:
The page goes on forever and the garbage never ends.

Submitter’s comments: Be sure to click through – if you can read the funky flashing font.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: I’m going to skip the SplashPage and move right to the dreck. It’s obvious to everyone but the site owner what’s wrong. You can go to StumbleUpon and just about every website you’ll find looks better than this one.

Submitter’s comments: The Great Wall is one of the only food choices we have in Maricopa – in my quest to find their menu online, I stumbled upon this glorious site!
I was greeted by this monstrosity of a website. Please be sure to have your sound on to enjoy one of the worst looping MIDIs in the history of MIDIs.
Don’t forget to check out the Lunch SPECAILS.
P.S. Their house fried rice really IS delicious.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: It’s possible the site could induce seizures. Be careful.
I also am fond of COUPON’S (should be “Coupons”). On the “House Specials (spelled correctly) page, the prices are impossible to read. Actually, the prices on all the pages are difficult to read. Didn’t anyone look at the site when it was completed?

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I was going through 2009’s Worst Non-Profit Websites and discovered, much to my surprise, that the International Congress of Churches & Ministers’ website hadn’t changed.
Don’t skip the intro. Wait it out. It’s worth it.
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy.

Submitter’s comments: I’m really interested in Electric Vehicles, but I worry that exposure to this site may cause long term damage to my eyes.
Not only a truly hideous design, but so badly written that even if I choose to view with no style in an attempt to make it easier on my eyes, it becomes useless. Just a PITA for me, but what if you’re wanting to read their pages and are somehow disadvantaged or have a less capable browser device?
Just thought I’d share :)
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Rarely are my readers wrong. It is a truly hideous design, made worse by a lack of contrast (44.52% of the text on the home page failed W3C contrast guidelines). Where’s the focus? What’s important? Why isn’t the content categorized?
Why is there so much content?
