    Let's see, what part of the site sucks the most?

    1) The name "BuddyLube" (!?)

    Because there's nothing like associating your brand with gay sex.

    2) All-flash interface

    'Nuff said

    3) Racist caricatures

    There's nothing funny about the racist caricatures (with heavily stereotyped voice overs) on their home page. Nothing but ignorant American bullshit.

    Don't forget the awful jingle soundtrack. That's my vote for most suck.

    WTF? This reminds me of the DTP (DeskTop Publishing) days, when everyone with a Mac was suddenly a designer (I know I'm dating myself)...But seriously, Buddylube WTF?

    haha, maybe an "annoying audio" warning would be in order for that buddylube link :)
  • Pete Cashmore · 2 years ago
    Hehe. Yeah, that jingle should definitely come with a warning.

    Whats with the 'Buddy' name?

    eBuddy (web messenger)

    BuddyLube (self-proclaimed widget specialist)

    Anyone know anymore?

    Geesh. The name is horrible. The little jingle is equally as bad. The stereotyped eyeballs is probably worse. A 2.0 company with an all Flash site just goes against everything that a "2.0" site is suppose to be. And aren't we approaching 2.5 or 3.0 by now? That's so last year.
