Sucky web design for beginners

If you've visited here before, I guess you already know by now that I'm a bit of a critic of sucky web design. Well, I just got spammed by some bloke from a recruiting agency by the name of Techgen, proudly telling me to check out their brand new "snazzy whiz-bang" website.

Techgen's sucky website design metaphor

Shortly afterwards I noticed that some bloke called "David" (who apparently also got spammed) left a comment on my blog, effectively nominating their "snazzy whiz-bang" website in my flashturbation hall of shame.

Geez, I didn't think I'd see this level of design stupidity in 2008. This type of juvenile metaphor was used a fair bit in 1998, but that was 10 years ago. And these people are allegedly an IT recruiting firm.
