Bad Web Design, No Donut!

So I was looking at the lyrics for Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown album, and each song links to a separate domain, like http://know-your-enemy.com/ for "Know Your Enemy".

This seems overconsumptive and stupid. American Idiotic, even.

 

Updated to add: This apparently is my day to stumble over horrible web design. I was reading this Inside Higher Ed article mocking (former Bush chair of the Council on Bioethics) Leon Kass and I wanted to look up "apodictally", so I tried to highlight it, and seemed to fail. It turns out someone decided that the Inside Higher Ed style sheets should make highlighting merely change the color of the text from black to blue-so-dark-it's-almost-indistinguishable-from-black. Perhaps highlighting in a useful (read: visible) fashion is for Lower Ed.
