Bad Design & The Aeneid

I'm actually not connecting the title of my post together as well as is implied. I was thinking about poor website design today and I'm wondering if anyone else has any sites that are particularly frustrating or ugly that they still use everyday? Besides myspace.

Japanese sites in particular have a tendancy to drive me up the wall with their tendancy to hide the information I need in a sea of cutesy icons and extraneous text. A Japanese friend of mine was impressed when I first showed him Flickr saying "Oh, that looks like a website designed by Americans."

One of those sites that I love but I find the way it's organized to be a bit too fancy for it's own good is Escapist Magazine which always has interesting articles but the way they're organized like a print magazine kinda pisses me off. On a side note this months Escapist has an article on how the XBox game Halo draws upon ancient stories and mythology, particularly the Aeneid. It's an interesting read because it relates the way video games convey narrative as similar to the way verbal histories were handed down from generation to generation.
