Send me Money, Despite the Suck
This site was sent to me by a friend (from high school, no less). I can see why she thought of me first (wait, maybe that’s not a good thing). Thanks Beth…
There are a whole slew of websites set up to raise money for an individual or a cause. There’s the one where the college kids will kill the bunny if they don’t get $50K by x date (which is over and done with, but if you want to read it visit Save Toby), which I thought was pretty funny. There are several that ask for money for a purchase like an XBox 360 or a Wii. Yeah, I’ll donate to that cause when there are starving kids in Djibouti that need a sammich, idiot.
Give me money despite the suck
The reviewed site? It’s by a guy who calls himself nobody54, and of course it sucks. Sites like this kind of piss me off. They don’t even ask for help with something specific, they just want you to send them money with no hope that they’ll use it to better mankind or even paint a mural on a blank wall in the neighborhood. They say, “Hey, I’m a selfish ass who thinks I rate something that I didn’t earn”. What’s most disturbing about this site though? You guessed it, the design.
This guy has animated gifs all over the place and doesn’t even offer an apology for it. Squirrels burying nuts (which is usually associated with frugality, but being broke is kind of the opposite), spinning logos that you can’t even read, scrolling text and what the hell is with the racecar thing? I hate that stuff. Then there’s the music on each page. Why do people feel the need to subject us to their favorite music? I will confess that I don’t hate the music, but I know that I’m not everybody.
If you check out the guy’s MySpace page, he’s pretty depressed. He needs a hobby (as well as a job). His depression, however is not at issue here. His web design is. I think it’s time he cheered up, after all, he’s made one of the most prestigious lists on the Internet. Well, maybe not.

UPDATE: I guess this guy can’t handle a bit of criticism. He used the submission form to submit this site as “sucking” for “lack of insight”. News flash. We already know that.
Cheers!
