Am I the only one who hates overloaded community site profiles? I'm talking about a profile page that has ten videos twelve audio clips, fifty animated gifs and a bunch of dumb quizzes to let me know what kind of sexual sea creature I am. These types of profile pages make me cringe and make a 'B' line to the close button on the browser. Unfortunately, all that crap playing at the same time usually crashes my computer before I can send the offending window into oblivion.
Don't get me wrong, I know it's your page and you are free to express your creativity in every tacky way possible but please--and I'm asking--calm down. Do you really need a graphic of a group of kids wearing sparkling jeans and a tank top throwing gang signs? Is it absolutely necessary to have Pretty Ricky's discography play as soon as I open the page? No, no it isn't.
What makes these profile travesties worse is that some of them belong to adults! Grown men and women who scour the net looking for a perfect pair of salivating lips to plaster on their page under a bible verse and photo of their baby niece or nephew.
I'm not asking you folks to run with a plain profile page like yours truly but for the sake of all things sane, leave the gaudy pages to the tweens and teens. Your boss might be looking.
