… is not a new snack bar, but Jim Carreys latest movie. It looks sort’a interresting – but the webpage is a hellish, hoplessly heavy flash-monster – on a 512 kb/s the load times are minimum 5 seconds. I looked at 4 pages and thus ‘volunteered’ to 4×5 seconds of idlety before I gave up.
Apart from that, almost all captions, clickable images and even splash screens uses a distinct rhetorical figure saying ‘don’t clickhere’ or ‘the next page is horrible, I strongly urge you to hit the back button’. I’ve tried to find the proper term on the figure – the closest I get is epitrope – but it is not really precise.
Any ideas?
