I got yer “dominant visual element” right here, pal
I’m actually getting sort of Zen about this whole StarTribune Geocities background thing. Maybe they are trying to be campy with their gaudy home page wallpaper (see the latest screengrab below). If I think big-picture here, for a moment, I can see scores of users flocking to the site each day just to see the latest visual trainwreck (contest, anyone?). What do I know? All I can say for sure is that my eye doctor probably doesn’t appreciate what this is doing to my vision.
UPDATE 12-22-06: I just noticed that today’s red Kohl’s box ad chases me as I scroll down the page — kind of like a pushy streetcorner watch salesman. Nice.
