oi! can you say clusterf***? jeez what a mess. I know it's supposed to be
for high speed connections, but that doesn't mean you HAVE to use EVERY bit
of available bandwidth! This looks like 3 or 4 different design teams were
working on different elements at the same time with no oversight.

Should be, but somebody paid a buttload of money for that.

That 'splains a little.

$$$$$. The more it costs the better it'll be. There was a meeting between a
couple of lower-level people after the deal was struck and they decided they
could both improve their standings with their respective companies if they
"really blew people away with this site!"

Yeah! Shocked intro!...wait does this make sense?...who cares! it's cool!

I've seen companies run up bills to impress big clients that don't think
they get their money's worth unless it's a big fat pile of cash.
