Submitter’s comments: Not only does this telemarketing company foul-up our dinner time, they’re also making the web an uglier place to live
Vincent Flanders’ comments: This site’s look takes me back to late 1995 when Vermeer Technologies created FrontPage. For a site built with FrontPage, it looks better than most. Of course, that’s like someone saying to me, “For a fat guy, you don’t sweat much.” In a way, it’s simplicity is endearing but it just doesn’t look professional in 2011. Oh, get a new logo.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Actually, it’s a really bad Over-the-top Website that looks like it came out of 1997.

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.
