Get Me Away!

Well, I would like you to just pause and take a few seconds out of your day to review this gem. Welcome back. Are you in shock or just confused?

HOLY FLASH!
I will always struggle with this one simple question... how do businesses succeed with websites like this? That little "dirt assassin" should of kicked herself right off the page. Alright, where to start?

Maybe the guy mysteriously gliding across the floor. Then again, can you really even begin to dissect the page (or the frog) without mentioning the general annoying amount of Flash? I can't focus long enough on the rhino before my eyes are diverted to the falling man who is somehow capable of holding bottles four times his current size.

The fact that the site plays on every obvious pun doesn't help either. Oh sure, make the Red Vanish symbol disappear. Revolutionary. If you have time to click any of the links, do it. The flash doesn't carry throughout the entire site. For some reason it is all focused on the landing page.

To be honest, all I can think is that an employee at the store just learned how to use flash and they let her or him loose on the website. I think it might be time to stop, rebuild, and rehire.
