I saw that awhile ago, I forgot to bookmark it, it is sooooooo true, I mean who hasn’t had a client where you give them a decent looking site and then they end up demanding it look like a myspace page? The laugh it gives you is the kind when you know all hope is lost and there is nothing else to do but laugh maniacally.

Crossing my fingers I don’t encounter this. Any ideas on how we can educate our clients to appreciate works of art than myspace pages?

the oatmeal’s comments on clients is right on, but as a designer I take offense to what is inferred about some designers, I know because I do brew perfect jesus wizard sauce myself!! my designs are perfect and all should bow down to pay homage!! Tables are going to make a comeback!!
Just joking of course
I can easily apply oatmeal’s tongue-in-cheek depiction of a designer to myself. I like clean, minimal design, but my client inevitably wants flash or javascript bouncy jiggly stuff (the blink element came from somewhere after all, and isn’t all that different from the usual Flash menu that jiggles and goes "dinky-dink" when you mouse over an item). They’ll send me links to a dozen different sites with a dozen different effect, and want them all. Since I don’t do Flash, javascript it is. And since I despise it, it usually comes out looking like a large meat-eating blob with the runs! The difference I find is that the worse it is, the more the client likes it and wants more bouncy jiggly stuff preferably all on the home page
