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: Well it seems that some art critics do not apply their talent and knowledge to their own websites. This one is a classic Mystery Meat Navigation case associated with multiple scrollbars and stuff. Oh my!
Vincent Flanders’ comments: I agree. Why not just set it up with four columns? The other thing that’s amusing is that when I told Google to translate the page, it said it did. No, it didn’t. There’s a function on the options drop-down where you can tell Google there’s a problem. That brings up a new problem. You can only tell Google they have the wrong language. You can’t tell them they didn’t translate the page.

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:
Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/airportf/public_html/libraries/joomla/session/session.php on line 102

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.
Someone was performing Quantity Assurance instead of Quality Assurance.

Submitter’s comments: It’s like a time machine.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Just what the world needs. A time machine that takes us back to a time when suckier web pages ruled the Internet.
You start off at the root site and if you don’t click the globe (another freakin’ globe), you’re taken to The Hempstore and if you dawdle too long, you’re taken to a page about cannabis candy. They say it’s legal, but I don’t think I’m going to try my luck—I don’t have any.
At the Hempstore there are three choices, the HempHotel, the HempFarm, and the HempStore. At least the pages look pretty much the same.
It’s another Over-the-top Website and that’s all you really need to know. One more thing. The copyright dates are 1993-2005. Interesting because the web didn’t really take off until the end of 1994.
(Aren’t you proud of me? I went until the end without one drug reference.)
