St. Web Standards

A List Apart has published their Valentines Day Massacre article relaying the more deplorable aspects of web related function. I couldn't help but grin as some of my favourite things to hate scrolled past.

I agree with Robin Cawser in regards to the idiocy of anything myspace.com, I found the 373 validation errors especially humorous. (How does Visceraman1 stack up....check for yourself. I don't claim to be a designer/standards guru/advocate or other, I just feel that if you're going to take the time to broadcast nonsense about yourself out into the world, you should have the sense to cross your t's and dot your i's. And build it yourself for fuckssakes.

Following was Ian and the lameness of pay per click ads. It cracks me up to see these on obscure, low index sites (gasp...they're on every myspace page also!). These, geocities banners, and flash intros scream for an immediate tabbed window closure. (IE users won't understand that yet)
