FotoFlexer: Made by Idiots for Idiots

Ok, perhaps that's not completely fair.  I'm sure FotoFlexer wasn't actually made for idiots.  As for the other, I don't think that is really arguable.  I can think of no other explanation for this piece of trash that is calling itself a web application.  Allow me to elaborate...

you go to their web site and you're presented with a choice...

Let's see..I'll click "Flex This Foto" and what do I get?

Wow!!!  That's exciting!!!!  Lest you think that it's a browser or plug-in issue, that's standard IE7 with no add-ins and it does the same on my FireFox, too.

So, I'm thinking, "ok, it's just a little [BIG] bug.  Maybe I just need to register."  So, I click on "Register Now!" and am presented with an intuitive [NOT!] screen, which you see below.  I think to myself, "Hmm...this looks like a login screen.  It doesn't say choose a password or anything else like that.  It just has an email and a password box."  but I forge on and enter my email. 

Oh wait, no I don't...and why don't I???

Because the stupid email input box only allows 25 characters!!!!!

Just how brain-dead to you have to be to believe that people don't have longer emails?!  I could go on and on about this, but I think the evidence just speaks for itself.  "Arbor Labs" needs to find a way to put out a web application that involves more than bending a fresh biscuit on their web site.

Oh, and thanks to Mashable! for this craptacular link!
