Copyright Davis. Logo terrorist.

Some terrorist. I'll bet that if Carlos the Jackal made this site, it would be easier and more rewarding to navigate.

Yeah - it's kinda hard to figure out what that site is all about.

Logo Terrorist and designer of unnavigable interfaces... Anyone care to link to some of the logo-terrorism content for those of us who don't have the patience to find it?

I have no idea what I just viewed.

It was confusing, frustrating, annoying, and disheartening.

I need to go take a shower now...

That'd be a LiveJournal worth reading.

Reminds me of that old annoying jodi.org site.

At first I was disgusted, but I kept watching. Then I became a little interested. Then I was more interested. Very Interested. Very, very interested...

Then I suddenly lost interest. Then I became confused, ashamed, disgusted...

The site of a thousand popups.

I always wanted to be called "Dirk the Jackal." Cool. Oh, the site is a pisser though . . . there may be cool stuff hidden in there, but those little squares give me a headache.

Good...I was wondering.

If crude drawings of penises are not safe for where you work, then this site is NSFW.

This is an artistic website. You web nazi's should not be visiting such sites, and if you happen to accidentally click on a link that takes you to such a site, please keep your copy of "rules that all webpages should follow" in your pocket.

As what is commonly referred as an "artist", and far from what is commonly referred to as a "web nazi", I must also cast a big "nope" vote for mister Davis' web fart. Obviously it spoke to someone, so I don't have a big stick up my ass about it.

Whaddya know. It was shit.

I think armoured-ant could at least have used a few words to elaborate why this is a 'best of the web' (clearly not political or newfilter-ish, that is) so I'd know what was up with this.

I keep thinking of Adam And Joe's 'Media Chaos Collective' all parkas and everything.

well.
that was nice.
how about a [MAY CRASH YOUR BROWSER] tag?
posted by exlotuseater at 3:00 PM on December 2, 2004

Oh, Jesus. The site obviously isn't the best of the web, but it's a link a few of my friends have been batting around the last few days, so I thought that - perhaps - some MeFi users might at least look past the (admittedly infuriating) interface, and enjoy the content that, providing your browser doesn't crash (and mine didn't, and I'm using IE for OSX ffs), there is a fair amount of.

Bill, I didn't qualify this post with an [MI] because I realised that the vocal few who couldn't stand it would quickly point their arseholes at me and start talking out of them. This:



...is how surprised I am, anyway.

Obviously it spoke to someone, so I don't have a big stick up my ass about it.

Well, that makes one of you.

I hate pop-ups generally, but I thought they were used in an interesting way, at least. If you're confused by the interface, there are 13(?) different sets of pop-ups each represented by a different colored square. Sometimes, when you click on one of the pop-ups it repositions and re-layers the set, and sometimes it closes the set. That's about as much as I figured out before the pop-ups mysteriously stopped popping up and I gave up. I think any website that has such a poor interface that this many people hate it is worthwhile for that alone. Next time you get to a poorly designed site you can think to yourself, "well, at least it's not as bad as copyrightdavis."
