Thufferin: you WILL pay for that someday somehow! :). Though Thufferin is right it has almost everything that i despise in webpages. But I did like that anti-vegetarianism banner.

Oh and big ass ugly backgrounds suck big fat rotten monkey nuts!

Time was I stood where thou dost now  
And view’d the dead as thou dost me  
Ere long you’ll lie as low as I  
And others stand and gaze at thee

If you want to read some hilarious commentary on shitty web design, check out Vincent Flanders’ site [http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com](http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com)

Very good stuff, and hilarious examples, all told with a dry with that makes _me_ laugh, anyway.

Of particular interest (to me) is the sad state of total copy-cat sites: [http://webpagesthatsuck.com/influence.html](http://webpagesthatsuck.com/influence.html)

The assumption, of course, is that they actually HAVE working heads.
