Yes, They Suck, So do You

I like a good site that makes fun of other sites. I’m wait­ing for some­one to come along and make fun of this site (mean­ing the one you’re read­ing). I can’t wait to read what humor­ous, spite­ful or vin­dic­tive things will be said. This next site is one that makes fun of any­thing right wing. While I’m not nec­es­sar­ily in dis­agree­ment with him on the fact that a lot of the con­tent on those sites is bad, most of them look so much bet­ter than his, he should shut the hell up.

Suck­ing while talk­ing about suck. Good idea.

The site is called “WEB SITES THAT REALLY SUCK!”, and the all caps thing is totally his idea. I sup­pose he wants to tell us that the whole title should be screamed. That’s minus 1 for scream­ing Jimmy (or is it night owl3). This guy basi­cally finds and bashes what he con­sid­ers right wing ide­ol­ogy (though, I doubt this guy could spell ide­ol­ogy). He has Chris­t­ian sites, sci­en­tific sites, polit­i­cal sites, etc., all with a com­mon thread. They lean “right wing”. Prob­lem, idiot. National Social­ism is as left wing as an ethos can get (see, the guy makes fun of Nazi’s, too).

So, I have an idea. Let’s find a bunch of sites that we don’t like based on their con­tent, and make fun of them on a site that sucks based on lay­out and design. Bril­liant. Let’s use all the best tools to make this hap­pen, like cheesy motion graph­ics, rain­bow col­ored hor­i­zon­tal rules, red on black fonts, no rhyme or rea­son to the lay­out to speak of, a page that’s four miles long and an over­all sense that the writer of the copy has a fourth grade edu­ca­tion and an accom­pa­ny­ing 2,000 word vocab­u­lary (I’m feel­ing generous).

Some of the sites he talks about gen­uinely do suck (and you may see them here at some point in the future), but not once does this guy ever give us his per­sonal phi­los­o­phy or any valid logic behind his “suck” pro­nounce­ment. He does a good job of quot­ing poorly planned syl­lo­gisms and par­roted cliches, but out­side that, nothing.

OMFG is far from per­fect, but at least there was an effort made not to burn out the eyes of the viewer, unlike this guy. I sup­pose “suck” is in the eye of the beholder. I believe I behold suck. Mak­ing fun of sites like this is too easy, and it makes me feel like a guy boo­ing at the Spe­cial Olympics.
