   Ladies and Gentlemen...
   
   please give me the worst sites you've come accross in 2006... my hot fav for least accessable, least fathomable is my fravourit French e-Commerce site talk about slow loading and migrane inducing tosh...
   
   obviously were not here to flame anyone or put anyones hard work down but i think there are lessons to be learned from truly bad sites.
   
   Enjoy

   Well - I have to say that's possibly the worst navigation of all time. I've seen a few "spoof" versions of Amazon that did that - but never something real. I think I'm gonna do a post about that on my blog.

   Lol. The link you posted is still loading after three minutes on broadband. I agree with all the above comments: the website is horrible.

   Funny thing is, when i lived in Paris this site was seen as a DIRECT RIVAL to Amazon.fr or the other national online retailer FNAC.fr. CDiscount is also a prefered retailer to many French people simply because it is FRENCE and a part of the Casino supermarket group who's homepage is quite tame in comparison... go figure!
   
   though Paris' IT supermarket Surcouf has recently calmed its site down it is still pretty poor for access and flashy graphics

    You know those really cheap junk mail catalogues that you get in the mailbox. Then remove from the mailbox and put in the bottom of your bird cage… but then your bird freaks out and dies from an epileptic fit? …You know those?
    
    I think we have just discovered the web equivalent.
    
    Thank you 'cdiscounts' you killed my budgie.

    I would like to point out that the RSPB assures me no real budgies were harmed in the making of this site.

    If the nominations are still open I suggest http://www.infinityairlines.com.mx/ the website for a Mexican regional airline. I simply have no words.

    I present:
    
    The most unusable, accessible, and gimmicky site I've seen for a long time. I particularly like the way you have the option to change the hue of the logo in the centre.
