      Apparently it's a hugely successful business LingsCars[^] and maybe the website is deliberately awful to stand out. I think I've been doing it wrong all these years. Time to throw out all the books on UI / UX and just throw the kitchen sink at my next project :-D

          Love it. :-D For some reason, it brings to mind Drew Kaplan's old DAK Catalog, even though they're not very similar at all. Strange, the connections that form in ones head.

                    I vote awful. It honestly doesn't take the latest technology or even a lot of effort or programming chops to come up with something more modern looking.

                            It's a good site if it brings them more business.

                                  I think that the anti-narcotics should deal with it, the site produces hallucinogenic effects and that's why it is so popular.

                                    It made me a little sick of my stomach, but in general I found it very amusing, specially the source code. Spent some time trying to determine if the website was legit. There is also an interesting newspaper article clip: "Eccentric Entrepreneur scoops business accolade and industry praise for supposed 'worst website'"

                                        Apparently it's a hugely successful business LingsCars[^] and maybe the website is deliberately awful to stand out. I think I've been doing it wrong all these years. Time to throw out all the books on UI / UX and just throw the kitchen sink at my next project :-D

                                        Actually, it reminds me a lot of Japanese websites even from just a few years ago.

                                          Just because it's "viral" doesn't mean it's "good".

                                          Does mean it's successful, though.
