This is perhaps the worst designed site I've ever had the unfortunate accident of setting my eyes upon. I don't even know what to say. Just look at the good awful thing.
To make matters worse, the site's creator offers web design services. From the site's generator tag it seems to have been designed using Netscape Composer. I don't understand. This should be a crime, really.

Here's a service that allows you to estimate the real world value of any given website. Granted, there are dozens of common examples showing how flawed their calculations can be, but it's still a fun toy.
Don't you think it's a little too common to simply take letters off of common words when naming a website?

War has changed…it now features cute and fluffy animals gunning each other down. I’m in.
The manga series Cat Shit One is about three American soldiers fighting in Vietnam. In the United States it has been renamed Apocalypse Meow, and now the story is being adapted as a computer-generated series due out early next year set in the Middle East. Watch the trailer and prepare to be amazed. I’ve marked my calendar; have you?

This has to be one of the worst ads I've seen on the Internet in a long time. I don't even understand it.

Quote of the Day: High Fives for Everything

This quote taken directly from quote site (The Customer Is) Not Always Right, a site for those who have worked retail, which includes me, and know very well, the customer is rarely right about anything:
(Our restaurant is in walking distance of an assisted living center so many of regulars are special needs adults. We get a regular group of four people who have to make their order the same way every time. The routine involves the four of them reading the menu board for about five minutes and then one of them ordering each of them a hamburger individually.)
Me: “Hey! What can I get you?”
Special Needs Adult: “I would like a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger.”
(An agitated customer who has been standing in line behind the group the entire time chimes in.)
Customer: “He would like four hamburgers. Can we hurry this up?”
Special Needs Adult: “No! I would like a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger.”
Customer: “Oh my god!”
Me: “So if I got this right you would like a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger?”
Special Needs Adult: “Yes, that’s right!”
Me: “You know what I think you need? A high five!”
Special Needs Adult: “You know I do!”
(I high five the guy over the counter and the other three all take a turn getting a high five.)
Customer: “This is just ridiculous!” *storms out of the store*
Angry Peter: Economic Mindset

Sometimes I come across something peculiar that just irritates me to my core. I found this forum post:
“My wife has a ton of student loans. Medical school is very
expensive. She owes over 250,000 dollars. Her monthly payment is 2,100 dollars.
This is for 30 years.
If we make the minimum payment, we will have paid over 600,000 dollars. Thats
totally ridiculous in my opinion.
My wife is a pediatrician and doesnt make the type of money a brain surgeon
makes. We can barely afford to make our house payment and this student loan
payment. Forget about putting money aside for our two kids for college.
Is there any trick to getting out of this debt ? We dont qualify for loan
forgiveness (you need to be disabled). You cant get rid of the loan by filing
bankruptcy.
We have seriously considered just leaving the country and moving to canada.
We'd lose our social security retirement but Im guessing ssn wont be around
anyway when we retire in 30 years. The pay for a doctor in canada is lousy
though so it would probably come out even.
Any hope that if the goverment goes bankrupt we could slip through the crack
and not have to pay ? Id hate to root for a total economic collapse but if it
got us out of student loans Im all for it.
It really pisses me off that the goverment gives out trillions to banks but the
average citizen cant get out of student loan debt. “
What’s the problem?
The poster, admriker444, feels that since he believes medical school is too expensive, he shouldn’t have to pay for it. Simply because he wants it to be cheaper, it should be cheaper, and it’s the job of the government to make it so.
Whose decision was it for him and his wife to become physicians? It sure as hell wasn’t me. So why should I subsidize it? I think my money, the money that I’ve earned for myself, should go to my own education, not to pay off the loans of married doctors. For God’s sake man, you’re a doctor! There aren’t that many careers that pay better! I pray that one day I’ll make as much as a doctor does.
And to make it all worse, our anonymous Internet friend is in search of a “trick,” some kind of cheat code. A little too much Sims, where you type in rosebud repeatedly and all your debts vanish? He even hopes for the bankruptcy of the entire nation in order for him to stop paying his loans.
I hope he moves to Canada. I don’t want him here. He’s doesn’t care for his country and his only desire is to take advantage of the systems in place to help those truly in need. Either work and slowly pay off your loan like every other PhD has done in the past or move to Canada; I’m not paying for your laziness.
