You can always find something nice on [Portal of Evil.](http://www.portalofevil.com) If ridiculously tacky webpages don’t float your boat, how about web pages devoted to having sex with stuffed animals? ---

This thread would not be complete without a link to [http://www.somethingawful.com](http://www.somethingawful.com) where it is their business to expose really awful websites. Recently they linked _90_ GeoCities sites with the hopes of of SA visitors bringing them down by clicking them. They even get legal threats from people who don’t know what “fair comment” means! ---

yes, **saepiroth** , it’s my site - horribly out of date and boring, but mine nonetheless. I’m doing a complete overhaul one of these days… > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by **RickJay** _ > > I thought it was called “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” There’s TWO Peanuts musicals? Or did they change the title? There are, indeed, two musicals, although you can scarecely tell them apart. It was “YaGM,CB” that saw a revival on Broadway a couple years ago, and it has always been the more well-known and popular of the two. “Charlie Brown” focuses more on, well, Charlie Brown (originally played by Gary Burghoff before he was Radar on “M_A_S\*H”) , and “Snoopy” focuses more on, well, Snoopy. Songs include (I noted similar songs in both productions): From [“You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown”](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000050HZZ/qid=1004384932/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_3_2/103-3703206-2423847): Snoopy My Blanket & Me (Linus’ song) Book Report (the “school song”) The Red Baron (Snoopy’s schtick song) Little Known Facts (the “life’s lessons song”) Suppertime (Snoopy’s showstopper) Happiness (the “feel good about yourself song”) You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown From [“Snoopy”](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000000PG3/qid=1004385160/sr=1-6/ref=sr_1_11_6/103-3703206-2423847): Edgar Allen Poe (the “school song”) I Know Now (the “life’s lessons song”) The Vigil (Linus’ song) Clouds Friend The Great Writer (It Was A Dark And Stormy Night) (Snoopy’s schtick song) Poor Sweet Baby Don’t Be Anything Less The Big Bow-Wow (Snoopy’s showstopper) Just One Person (the “feel good about yourself song”) Both cute shows. ---

[Best.Webpage.Ever](http://tomadaniels.customer.netspace.net.au/) Seriously, a lot of people could learn from this guy. If you don’t know what you’re doing, keep it simple stupid. I find a bad webpage makes me respect a business less. I respect the locksmith. It’s a thousand times better than [the Traralgon Book Exchange](http://bousie.customer.netspace.net.au/) or [Albroys](http://www.albroys.com.au/). I will go to the locksmith, but I will never let Albroys touch my car now I’ve seen that page. Of course, my old enemy Scribex is responsible for the last two - they should be banned from the internet for crimes against good taste. ---

that’s it! that’s just the word! the only possible way to describe that esprix-as-linus picture without lying through your teeth is “cute”! there’s just no other way to say it and be right… go ahead, try! i just bet you can’t… oh, and saying “cute” in a foreign language is cheating. ---

If there hadn’t been people in the basement right now, I would have fallen out of my chair at that hatt baby thing. Though, really, it got a little scary after a couple minutes… But it wins, hands down. I can’t even imagine a tackier thing on the Web. ---

I can’t explain why “Hatt Baby” is so funny, but it is. I’ve injured my ribs laughing at that thing, and I keep doing it, too! La la la la la la la la ---

Hatt-baby is now my all time favorite site. It helps that I can read a little Swedish (though not a lot, as you can imagine–it’s still disturbing and nonsensical). ---

Of course, my old enemy Scribex is responsible for the last two - they should be banned from the internet for crimes against good taste. Cazzle!! ya realise you’re giving MY business a bad name? LOL… of course, I redesigned the Traralgon Book Exchange website after scribex did a …well… to put it nicely ‘bad’ job of it originally, i should have kept a copy of the old design hehe… so…if anybody happens to coem across this…scribex originally designed [http://bousie.customer.netspace.net.au/](http://bousie.customer.netspace.net.au/) but it was later redesigned by me, much to the excitement of the owner of the place! Tal 🙂 In case you’re wondering…i came across this while i was visiting the scribex website (i always do that to make myself feel better when i’m feeling down) and i was checking their site tracker to see how much traffic they get…and i came across one from this forum and thought…that has to be a cazzle post hehe [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ridiculously-tacky-web-pages/89149.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ridiculously-tacky-web-pages/89149.md?page=3)
