Check this out, and please, check out the flexible spelling that occurs on a regular basis in Sri Lanka.

Oh, and check out their home page, too. I didn't link to it because I figured I'd probably be offered in a ritual sacrifice if I did. The music is horrid. *shudder* And what little I saw of the site (I hesitate to see more of it than I have to) is all in flash. *shudders* *pukes*
And somehow, somehow, they think that we ought to be convinced from that horrible little website to use their services?
So*. What terrible websites have you encountered lately?

It's times like these when I wish I remembered the URL for the single ugliest website on the entire Internet. Seriously. I doubt you could find anything uglier.
All I remember is that it was for a company that designed and printed signs, decals for cars, and flyers. Oh, and that there were moving frog gifs involved. And I think the color scheme was eggplant and bright orange and dizzying.

Funny thing is... Despite them having Sinhalese in their intro (I didn't notice Tamil, by the way), I saw no way to switch to other languages.
Hindi and Urdu I didn't see at all, nor would I expect to, given that they're not common here. Hmm, is OSC smokin' something? Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

Huh. First time I saw your post, it said 15 minutes, now it says 8. But for me, it shows the correct time.

I've got two atomic clocks hanging above my monitor that I use for sniping eBay auctions at the last possible moment. Hope none of my Sri Lankan friends are bidding against me.

I'm not surprised. In my experience (back in my editing days) printers subscribe to the "put it all in" school of design in general. Quotation marks? Put 'em around every other word. Italics? Underline? Boldface? Use 'em all! Clipart? There's never enough! Only one typeface?!?! No way!!!

The website is pretty benign considering it has no active links, noewhere to escape to and no information on how to engage their "diverse" services.
Hmmm.... a black hole in cyberspace, where no surfer can escape
