			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-203    alignright" title="Big Mouth" src="http://intermittentrant.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/1197125883128333022merzok_Dark_mouth.svg_.med_.png" alt="Big Mouth" width="300" height="199" />I am sick, sick, sick to death of websites that have sound.  I mean, I like sound in general.  I like YouTube and Hulu and they have sound.  What I can&#8217;t stand is YOUR shitty-ass website with animated gif&#8217;s, center-aligned text, and that fucking WAV file of your favorite song you have that starts playing at 4-fucking-000 decibels immediately after the page loads.  Yeah, your website is NOT a fucking EXPERIENCE.  I don&#8217;t want to be lulled into a feeling of warmth and comfort as you play contemporary jazz and dazzle me with 200MB images of some beach in I-dont-fucking-care-istan.</p>
<p>The reason I&#8217;m writing this is because I was just ears-bleedingly-loud-music-rolled by yet another fucking website: <a href="http://www.shrutilaya.org/">http://www.shrutilaya.org</a> (WARNING: the sound on the site is loud&#8230;and it never fucking ends).  Look, you amateur dipshits, people actually may look at your website at school, at the library, at work and they don&#8217;t need to listen to your shitty music blaring unexpectedly.  It&#8217;s annoying and it&#8217;s rude.  It&#8217;s like if you went to your local library and just started shouting.  It&#8217;s like if you were anywhere and just started shouting.  There is no difference between this and acting like a crazy person.  Because that&#8217;s what you are &#8212; yeah, I&#8217;m looking at you, Webmaster G-Dog!, with your Macbook PRO in the coffee shop sipping lattes and furrowing your brow while you work with your webmasterin&#8217; skillz because I don&#8217;t know how many years of webapprenticeship you went through and I don&#8217;t care how many years you were a webjourneyman before being elevated by some blazing Sword of Greyskull-like dildo that christened you into webmasterhood (pathetic piece of shit, I fuckin&#8217; hate you) &#8212; you&#8217;re a crazy person.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the deal.  I want to go to your website, glean some information that I deem important, and get the fuck away.  I don&#8217;t want to be pulled into your idea of what my experience should be.  I don&#8217;t want to be dazzled by flourishes of pretty colors and smart spacing.  I don&#8217;t want a million stupid gadgets in my way for my convenience.  I don&#8217;t really care about using your website as a springboard into my social networks because let&#8217;s face it, they&#8217;re stupid anyway.  And you&#8217;re stupid.  I will ignore your ads with every ounce of my being.  I will close every popup you dare to open.  If your entire website is in Flash, I will wonder if you are trying out for the special Olympics because you obviously have Down&#8217;s Syndrome&#8230;and your mother probably drank during her pregnancy.  All I ask is that you give me what I want and that you get the fuck out of my way.  Who knows?  Maybe I would even pay for that.</p>
