    Not Only MMN...

    I love the designation "Mystery Meat Navigation" from the folks at Web Pages That Suck. Part of my loathing of Flash sites is from MMN. (Mainly it's because Flash takes away my beloved right-click.)
     
    One of the worst offenders I've seen is Chipotle. Try making your relatives in their 70s navigate through that site.
     
    I was writing up a post about MMN and Web Pages That Suck in an online ASP.NET class I'm teaching and thought I'd see if Chipotle uses ASP.NET. I tested this by typing http://www.chipotle.com/default.aspx into the browser. Yep, they use it. Well, the server they are on has it installed (the 1.1.4322.2300 version).
     
    Even if they aren't using ASP.NET functionality, they really should do something about the default ugly ASP.NET 404 screen (yes, I know most web developers don't anticipate folks randomly typing wrong addresses into the browser, but default 404 - any error, really - pages are a pet peeve of mine):
     

    Server Error in '/' Application.

    The resource cannot be found.
