Ouch, my eyes!

Has anyone else noticed that the graphics used on CNN and increasingly nearly everywhere else, particularly sports casts, has reached the depths of every cliche from the flaming text logo's era in web design of the mid to late '90s? It's hugely distracting, brings nothing useful to the material at hand and is tacky with a capital T. It's like they are trying to stress test the human visual cortex system or find latent epileptics or something. Now, as if that's not enough comes the cheesy swooshing sound effects now commonly used when yet more graphics are inflicted upon us in the form of fly in stuff. The Daily Show and Colbert Report have been mocking this for so long now that half the audience probably doesn't even realize it's mockery any more. And how in the world hasn't CNN broken or worn out their "Breaking News" button yet?

It must be my monitor settings, because the homepage of CNN doesn't look all that bright and distractive to me. Then again I only checked the homepage and didn't bother to browse any further.
