Ok simple rule:
Post a link to a site that is uglier then the one before it.
Since I'm a lazy bastard I'll simply report the one I did from another topic:
http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/
Edit: Amended rule: The site needs to be a production site that is not purposely ugly.

its intentionally ugly, I guess thats kinda cheating.

This is what it looks like after a handful of people critiqued it and he made it "better".
I know I'm not following the rules of being "uglier than the one before it", but I think it's pretty hard to top Perspective's.

My wife found that gem when she was updating resources for her job. She actually talked to that guy and he was VERY proud of his work.
I think the funniest part is the lion on his personal page :)

I mean, why? Just why? WTF does a bouncing bull have to do with anything. Did the 'designer' just do that because he could? Fuckin' twat.

Just a question for you web design type guys. The top logo on that page is a hyperlink... to the same page. WTF is with that. Why would anyone in their right mind go to the bother of putting a link to a page when you're ALREADY ON THAT FREAKING PAGE?

as a design type guy, I can field this question.
It is common practice to have the banner image on sub-pages be a link that brings you back to the home page of a given site.
for example, on the page:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en
there is a microsoft logo in the top left hand corner. if you click on it, it takes you to the microsoft.com homepage.
This is kind of dumb if you are ALREADY on the homepage, however, more then likely, the site is designed as somewhat of a template. The header, footer, menu, style and other elements that are common to all pages are seperate from the actual content of each page. That way, if you need to make a design change (or update the menu or header image) you only have to change it once, on the template, instead of updating every single page of the site.
I suspect that is the case here, and the header is designed as a link because that same code is used for all pages of the site. most of which should include a link back to the homepage.
EDIT: this still a bit of lazyness on the part of the programmer as even a template site could be programmed to not include the link on the template when the content is the homepage. on that microsoft page above, once you click to the homepage, the logo is no longer a link.

Mkay, I guess that makes sense. Thanks.

You'd be surprised how many people "expect" that to be a "feature". It's handy... and I do it on some of my sites, but I'm not going to code out the link on the home page... maybe it makes me lazy... maybe it makes me consistent... maybe I just don't care ;).
