FT redesign

Words can’t express the sheer horror that gripped my innards when I clicked on the FT this morning. The site has been redesigned, and…and…I just…

I just can’t even make the right words come out.

I can’t even verbalize how nauseous this page made me.

No. Literally. Remember in school when someone upchucked and the janitor would come and sprinkle that pink sawdust stuff over the barf?

The FT site is that same pink. I know. I’m making a weird psychological connection.

I think they tried to make it the same color as the hard copy. But something ain’t right.

I honestly can’t look at it. I think I might hurl.

No. Seriously.

I need to find my special place and heal.

  1. OMG, It it even worse when it is spread across my monitor screen . In fact, it is just as nauseating as you said it would be and I may have to borrow some of that pink sawdust.

    (Oh, and thanks for mentioning that stuff. It took me right back to my third grade class and made me remember that the sawdust cleaned up the vomit but did remove the smell of it.)
