Submitter’s comments: I know I specialize in over-the-top sites, but this is not one. It is virtually useless, not even brochureware, and has been since 2008. I just love the watermarked ("istockphoto") pictures. I guess the owner does not mind telling the huge number of potential clients beating their way to his web site that he does not care to pay even the very modest fee for their usage.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Pretty ballsy–or pretty stupid. I’m in a pretty good mood (3-day weekend with the wife) so I’ll just say it’s been a long, long time since I’ve seen anyone use comps and forget that they used them. I’m sure the designer just forgot to spend the pittance to license the images.

Submitter’s comments: This one really sucks…It’s from a small town’s (Engenhahn) local committee of one of Germany’s major parties (Social Democrats, SPD). Doesn’t even feature the party’s logo or colors, though, but that might actually be a rather good idea…
Vincent Flanders’ comments: In this day and age, you often don’t want people to know your party affiliation. The only people who can look at the thumbnail and say, “Verdammt, das ist glatt (Damn, this is smooth)” are the people who authorized the site. Everyone else sees it for the sucker it is. Speaking of “Verdammt, das ist glatt,” I came up with this phrase using Google Translate. Google also came up with “Marius White – a member of parliament to touch.” Somehow, I don’t think this is the correct translation.
I love the repeating background, the home page TITLE tag of “home” and the multi-colored text.

http://design.ucdavis.edu/ – Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Then to suck it up further, it’s Flash.
Original article. Oh. This reading list sucks in Chrome. You want to talk about tiny, tiny type…
Catch UC Davis’ flying birds. Yes, they may be the best flying birds on the web, but it’s still the best of a bad technique you should never, ever use on your site.

Submitter’s comments: Ouch. This site breaks all the rules. I don’t even know where to begin.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Wow! The animated GIF for Breast Cancer Awareness is so horrible it almost makes me want to root for the #2 cancer killer of women. (Lighten up. It’s a joke. On the other hand, it could also be viewed as my commentary on priorities.) I don’t even want to know what extreme football means. These are kids, for heaven’s sake.
The site, while colorful, sucks. Speaking of things that suck, those two malcontents who brought the word “suck” into the mainstream—Beavis and Butthead—are coming back to TV tonight after a 14-year absence. (This is so totally NSFW that it gives me a brain freeze.) Without the Three B’s—Beavis, Butt-Head and Bill Clinton—the word “suck” would still be edgy and I’d still be getting email about how horrible I am for choosing this domain name.
Speaking of horrible, let’s hear it for Xtreme Youth Football Cheerleading.

Submitter’s comments: Have a look at this site. What do you think of it? It’s great.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: I think the site has some problems. First, there are error messages that quickly flash on the screen and disappear. The messages are:

Next we have raw Google Analytics code showing through the page just below the site title. You can see it in the screen capture above.
