				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is the most annoying website on the web like? Well, there are a couple of satirical attempts to be the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.geocities.com/gordonbathgateexperience/annoying.html">most</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.laforgej.itgo.com/">annoying</a> (view at your own risk), but they&#8217;re just trying to be funny (in an odd sort of way), but they&#8217;re not <em>realistic</em>.</p>
<p>In my opinion, the most annoying <em>real</em> website ever<span id="more-422"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Always resizes your browser to exactly 120% of your screen resolution.</li>
<li>Launches three pop-up ads on page load.</li>
<li>Has a black background (or distracting tiled picture) with bright yellow text.</li>
<li>Has at least two animated banner ads that say &#8220;click this ad for a free iPod!&#8221; through your speakers.</li>
<li>Opens external links in new windows.</li>
<li>Has horrible navigation.</li>
<li>Has little design whatsoever.</li>
<li>Makes you register to leave a comment. During the registration, you have to confirm your account via email, and say &#8220;no&#8221; to the 23 mailing lists you would otherwise be subscribed to.</li>
<li>Says &#8220;best viewed in Internet Explorer&#8221; at the top of the page, and does not work well in any other (more standards-compliant) browser.</li>
<li>Takes two minutes to load at 780k/sec.</li>
<li>Plays music on page load.</li>
<li>Has so many typos and grammatical errors it&#8217;s impossible to understand anything.</li>
<li>Copies and pastes entire content from other sites instead of linking.</li>
<li>Is stingy with links, and uses nofollow (or JavaScript onClick) to avoid passing any PageRank.</li>
<li>Offers an email subscription, but not RSS, and assumes that you would still want to subscribe after seeing their site.</li>
<li>Opens more pop-ups when you leave.</li>
</ul>

<p>I spent half an hour in Photoshop making the image you see above. I&#8217;d say it looks sufficiently annoying. <img src="https://www.webmaster-source.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="wp-smiley" /></p>
