Replace all audio and video on the site with a constant loop of the versus commercial that had Dario’s last name prounced FranCHitti (like it would be in chocolate or chitty chitty bang bang) because not only commercial demonstrate the knowledge reporters have about the series but it also just sounded awesome

Hemi powered siren….

What, was bacon and cheese flavored cocaine not awesome enough?

And pressdog asking that the Sanskrit be in white on a black background ….

My only complaint is that while pressdog is spewing bear on his keyboard … I’m spewing expensive Scotch Whiskey on mine …

You guys are killing me …

Thank you

I think your designers should study some websites that show great use of subtlety. Like the ones where you’re supposed to stare at the dot on the screen and then the creepy old lady pops up and screams. Cause you know….that’s subtlety.

Hey, as long as they keep the auto-starting video (AND the ad, especially, that users are unable to silence – this is important!), I say bring on whatever.

In terms of endearing the website to the casual browser the video is clearly king – the rest is just details.

Though the green polar bear WOULD be a very nice touch…

Y’all are so funny. Anyone want to take bets on whether the website will be redesigned before next season? When and where will the season begin, anyway?!

See, hamilton fish…sanskrit is a real language that actual people use. Let’s translate the whole page into Klingon! In honor of the new color scheme, let’s make it RED Klingon on a BLACK background. Also, while we’re dabbling in fictional languages, include the little flags along the top of the page that international sites have, but make one for every fictional language you can find in every sci-fi or fantasy movie and novel you can find!

Oh, and there needs to be a button that turns the background the color of the “red” on the penske cars, the text day-glo yellow, and inverts the colors on all the photos.

Finally, Pressdog needs to buy some sponsorship that allows an animated clown car to drive across the screen spraying fire-retardant foam and shooting t-shirt guns.

…I think that’s all I have for now…
