The bad acid-trip of a website you see below is that of former KTRS “shock jock” Kramer.

How can you not love a website that not only will make you go blind from looking directly at it’s 1990′s Geocities-hosted greatness, but also features just awesome stuff as “What is Kramer licking?”, “Kramer Kourt” or “The Lunatic Fringe Kramer Show”?

What the hell is it that this guy does these days exactly?  Anyone?  Holding “Kramer Kourt” can’t be paying the bills can it?

Honestly, we have never listened to a second of Kramer and still don’t know the guy, but good god this website is horrible.  All its missing is one of those email links where the “mail” orbits around the “e” that everyone had on their site in 1994.

You know what?  Here, take this one:

We missed this from The Kansas City Star on Thursday:

A federal judge on Thursday tentatively threw out the convictions of a Missouri mother for her role in a MySpace hoax directed at a 13-year-old girl who ended up committing suicide.

U.S. District Judge George Wu said he was acquitting Lori Drew of suburban St. Louis of misdemeanor counts of accessing computers without authorization.

However, he stressed the ruling was tentative until he issues it in writing, which probably will come next week.

Drew, of Dardenne Prairie, Mo., showed no reaction to the decision.

Here’s the deal, no matter what you think about her, this is good news.  Really good news.  Why?  Have you ever signed up for a website and not used your real name?  Yup, us too.  Feel like going to jail for it?  That is why this decision is a good one.  [Editor's Note: Wired's Threat Level blog has more on why this is a good decision.]

Here’s what Drew should be convicted of: 1000 counts of being a mega-bitch and 10 counts of knowing you are going to have your photo taken, and still choosing to leave the house like this:

Seriously.  Gross. She looks like she pulled that hair from my elementary school bus driver and that top seems to be made from the same pattern and material from those 70s-style roll-down blinds.  Also, I don’t know how she found it, but she may have cut up my old summer camp canvas tent to make those pants.

Let me start off with this.  I’ve met Joe Edwards a few times now.  He’s awesome.  He’s done a lot of good for St. Louis and the Loop specifically.  He sells one of the best hamburgers in the world at Blueberry Hill.  …and his website for the Pageant sucks.

I’m not sure when they redesigned this, but I hope it wasn’t long ago because knowing something like this existed in the world for longer than a few days makes me scared and nervous like Sigourney Weaver with the Alien running around her ship.

Maybe you think I’m being harsh.  I’m not.  Lets discuss.

Lets start with the background image.  You know, the one that looks like it came off a zebra running through a bad acid trip.  Frankly, this would probably be the least offensive design aspect of this site if the damn thing made it across the whole damn site!  It just stops.  It doesn’t fade, it just stops…in to yet another shade of purple!  …oh.  Unless you are on the Links page (for instance), then it cuts to stark white.

Next we have the…paper?…the “I don’t know what its supposed to be” pattern behind the content.  Its horrible and it repeats far too much.

Then there’s the red.  The horrible horrible red.  There’s a reason no one really uses real red on a website:  It looks like this and it makes people’s eyes bleed.  Wanna use red?  Fine.  Use a shade of red, darker, lighter, whatever…just don’t use red red and especially don’t use this much red red.

We love you Joe and thats why we have to be tough.  A place like yours with just great artists going through it every night (and a great bar that stays open until 3am) deserves a site that doesn’t look like it came from 1996 (For you web geeks, its a table based layout too.)!   You’ve been led astray from the web promise land by some kid that owns a computer or some douche that bought “HTML for Dummies” and decided to start a “Web Design Company” to supplement his income from Quiktrip.  It happens to a lot of people Joe, but the first step is recognizing the problem.

We just thought it would be best to come from someone that loves your burgers more than anyone.
