I thought it might be amusing/painful to have a thread dedicated to all that is really bad about the internet. Sites that are so poorly designed, or about such a pointless subject, or so self-important and stupid that they achieve a special form of greatness.

For example, I mentioned it on another thread but I offer for consideration this website:

The world of Johhny Vaughan

It's appallingly laid out, has horrendous appearance and colours, contains huge and badly scanned images, and it's about Johhny Vaughan.
It claims to be an "Award winning website", but I suspect that to be an utter lie. Visit the site and you will too.

It is also, incredibly, a sister site to:

The world of Cheryl Baker.

I find it literally, LITERALLY inconceivable that someone could decide to set up websites about 2 celebrities, and decide that those celebrities would be Johnny Vaughan and Cheryl Baker.

Here are some examples of the people who have chosen not only to visit this hellish fly-blown site, but to add their comments on this page.

First Name : Lisa
Comment : Oh My God, cant believe Johnny Vaughan is in the States!!! Its so nice to see quality crossing the pond

Oh My God, cant believe you would think that.

QUOTE
First Name : Steven
Comment : I finally found a fan site of Johnny! I was going to do one myself. I am a huge fan of Johnny not in a gay way but he is my number one idol. Johnny got me through my media studies because I just wanted to be like him. Great website if you ever
Steven, don't worry. Us thinking you might be gay is, at this point, the least of your worries.
The next time I feel compelled to defend the validity of media studies as a university course I will remember you and, simply, not.
A shame you ran out of sentence before you could finish your fascinating comments about

QUOTE
First Name : ERM MICHAEL I THINK
Comment : VERY GOOD SITE OBVIOUSLY DONE BY VERY TALENTED INDIVIDUAL

I presume this is your first visit to the internet, or perhaps the planet earth.

QUOTE
First Name : Nicky
Comment : cool site jess its really come far over the years and congrats on the awards keep it up!
It's quite hard to imagine what the site was like at the start if it has taken years to progress to this stage. Perhaps it started off as simply a pile of faeces expelled by the site creator, who has lovingly developed their waste matter into the website you now see.

QUOTE
First Name : Debra
Comment : I really enjoy reading the site & it makes me realise how much I miss Johnny Vaughan being on the TV.Big Breakfast & his own show were just perfect.Your site cheers me up during a tedious day at the office!

Debra I am sorry that your job is so bad. If your office life is so appalling that this site cheers you up then it appears that God himself personally hates you.

QUOTE
First Name : Johnny Lover
Comment : Excellant! Absolutely amazing! The pictures are damn right funky!
I am curious as to what is your first language.

QUOTE
First Name : leesa
Comment : ive always been in lust with johnny he is the sexiest man alive thanks for some facts i dident know about him also ive kissed him loads of times while at the bb house aint i the lucky one

This illustrates why mental illness is a serious problem and difficult for family members to deal with.

QUOTE
First Name : Stan the Man
Comment : Hi Jess, Nice site, pity about the Johnny Vaughan bit though. I like the overall design of the site, pretty cool the gif files you have imported. Stan the man.
Now this comment is great. He likes this Johnny Vaughan site, except for the 'Johnny Vaughan' aspect of it.

QUOTE
First Name : Heather
Comment : Hiya. Just checked in to see if any embarassing pics of me were on here. Thanx for not using any!!! C ya later

Conversely this person is merely pleaseed that a site about Johnny Vaghan contains no embarsssing pictures of themselves. I forget, is 'self-obsessed' spelt with 4 's's or 5?

QUOTE
First Name : Vicky
Comment : Great website. I am surprised at the collection of JV pics that you have got.
I think I can safely say that we all are.

and finally:

QUOTE
First Name : Lucky Person
Comment : Thanks for pointing me into the right directions to get down to the house on Friday 12th January. x

Indeed.

My god...they've preserved the late eighties onto the web... and this girl finds it hard to hide the fact that she is, in fact, a vampire.

I'm not the world's greatest website designer. Okay I lie, I am. But even I could design something better than that - blind folded, with my hands stapled to the desk.

Oh and mine wouldn't be about Johnny Vaughan either.

Unless there was some flash game where you punch his face and kick him in the balls... endlessly. It would be the most addictive game ever!

Guaranteed best seller. And it would be doing an important public service too.
