Every time I look at it, I want to claw my eyes out with a sharp pencil.

Did a blind chimp design it? (No offence to blind chimps).

and that's probably as good a reason as any not to look at it. don't tell me you have to check it daily for work or anything, because that would be quite horrible indeed...

I used to check it every day to see if there was any breaking news (not that it would really apply to my work) so it's like a force of habit...I'll stick with the Guardian even more now!

Seriously though, it is so badly designed it's not even funny. I know someone who works in the sky news newsroom, and she says that the people who designed it were proud as punch...they had a big meeting where it was unveiled. But it's absolutely shocking!!

The graphics are shocking, it's so badly laid out, ugh ugh ugh. I mean, Sky News isn't the paragon of news that it thinks it is, but at least it was easy to take a quick glance at the old one and see if something interesting had happened around the world. Not so any more.
