Bloomberg's New Website is an Ugly Piece of Shit

Yo who the fuck is the bozo who thought it was a good idea to give Bloomberg.com this shitty makeover? I remember back in the day checking Bloomberg every morning was actually enjoyable - the dark simple background made my early morning eyes comfortable to read the content that contrasted with the dark background and strategically placed aesthetic blue hints around the website. The dark background on my 6AM eyesight was almost fucking therapeutic. It felt good you know?

Old Website: http://ptahdunbar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/…

New website: www.bloomberg.com

Also the layout is absolutely horrendous. It's completely un-intuitive. It's like what Microsoft did when they made Office 2007 and it actually made you LESS productive with its dumbass interface.

Fuck this shit. I'm pissed.

ok. that will be all.

 

Yeah I saw the beta a long time ago...but I never thought the ugliness of it would actually bring it out of beta...I was hoping massive people would complain and the project would never take hold.

It was a rant I've been saving up for a while but never felt like typing it on some internet forum.

Hey Bloomberg, thanks for cramming white space and poor design down our throats. I actually vomit a little in my mouth when I see the new site. It's not like we, your consumers, matter or anything. And now you've even taken away the option to switch back to the noir site?! Why would you do that?! Noir is your BRAND! Did anyone you hired tell you that? In all your infinite "research" did you ask anyone how they felt about the gold text on black background? It seems there is quite a strong sentiment that this new format is neither more accessible, nor more pleasing to the eye. The old addage goes "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it." Well now you broke it, so please fix it! At least give us the option to use noir.bloomberg.com like before. You're acting like Microsoft in your idiotic redesigns! Hi, I'm a Mac. And I'm a PC. And Hi I'm Bloomberg, the retarded, illegitimate cousin of PC, and I'm only allowed upstairs.
