The personal website of Bernie Rhodes, the man who is most famous for being the manager of The Clash (and the man who hosed up the band and led to their breakup).

The site itself is an odd collection of rambling quasi-Marxist rhetoric mixed with what he considers to be shocking revelations about the nature of society, not to mention how many times he has to tell everyone how awesome and revolutionary he is. The site also sells t-shirts and hosts fake positive reviews of the album "Cut the Crap", the Clash album that Bernie produced (he also blames the media as the reason that no one liked it). Add these things together with a bad use of text size and color and a very amateurish site design, and you have one very awful website.

Havenworks can best be described as CNN on acid. It's a news site that is packed to infinity with as many stories, icons, and colored text as possible. The top part of the front page may as well be a geocities page from 1997, and it's barrage of colors and tiny font makes it almost impossible to read easily. Every link to an article has at least six icons that tell you what it's about, and in many cases outright steal the spotlight away from the news. At the bottom of the page they even proudly display "!-! Nominated for Most Poorly Designed Website in the World by Digg.com".

http://www.oilwars.com/

A site purely dedicated to ranting against the war in Iraq that also manages to sneak in Paulite-style attacks on the Federal Reserve Board and the value of the dollar. Instead of having multiple pages, the entire contents of the site takes up one long, massive, and poorly-designed page. Under each angry topic, there is a long graphic of blood dripping, which seems alright when it's under the counter of dead American soldiers, but just becomes too strange when placed under the historical quote in favor of the gold standard.

The two things that represent the site best are:
