http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk

I dont know what you see outside the UK, as it might do a redirect based on country. Still for such a massive company, with an unlimited budget, you would expect better.

You would think they could spend a little money...however, having worked for a major corporation...their web design may be inhouse.....or they may just be designing for the lowest common denominator.....ugh.

Wow, I think I am going to be sick. That is a horrible representation of flash, I am almost ashamed to even tell people that is flash. This is why Ryan used to hate flash, in fact this kind of website makes ME HATE FLASH!

Every time I see something like this, I die a little bit on the inside.

Re: maybe not the worst, but could be better...

Don't worry, Mcdonalds.com is not any better. I once had a meeting with a fast food restuarant about their website. www.miloshamburgers.com and they told me that they had an in-house person do their site and that they were getting posotive responses to it. They asked me if I had any suggestions for improvement and I told them to trash what they had and hire a real designer, because to me that looks like a 3 year old just learned HTML and put it up. As a matter of fact.. Im posting this as a new addition

The worst thing is I had my big 60W speakers plugged in and volume on full blast! Nearly gave me a heart attack (like their food)
