Military cutbacks

Just found this pic somewhere on the web. Pretty funny! This is obviously the 'solution' they've come up with to the weapons shortage in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Eventually got round to writing up the last bit of this top 10 website design fail list. Again, not in any particular order, each site has it's own relative crappyness. If you haven't already, check out the the first part of my top 10 website fails list.

The first site on part 1 was a danger to epileptics, and, continuing the trend, this one's left sidebar would send you into epilepsy mode. Did 'Franz' (don't know who he is, but you sure won't miss his name plastered all over this page), really need to make the home icon flash like a strobe light? Not a very good design tactic if half your visitors end up in hospital, but then, the site doesn't seem to be the most useful.


This Norwegian site takes years to load thanks to the images and how they've been resized. They're trying to sell all this crazy stuff, but seriously, would you buy anything from a website that couldn't even order the sections on it's homepage properly?

Next is Yvette's bridal services. Picture this, you're a woman looking forward to the big day, finally getting married. Who do you choose to organise the dress? The person who can't even order their website? The dress would probably end up with the arms in the wrong place or whatever like that. Also, it says some plugins are missing. I guess I'm missing the 'make terrible websites readable' plugin.

Winner of the 'most HTML tables on one page' award. It gets worse further down the page:

This final site, really doesn't paint a good impression of the Martinsburg police. If they're as good at policing as they are bad at web design though, then they should be pretty damn good. Also, check out the option to be notified by 'email, cell, pager' of emergencies. OK, I understand cell phone and pager, but who, I mean WHO, would sit at their computer constantly checking their inbox about whether there's a burglary or something happening down the street??

And that's it for this website design fails review. Check back soon for more crazy fails. You don't know what you'll find (though most likely computer and fail related).
