Cool home vacuum robot, egregiously terrible website

Roomba is a pretty cool little autonomous vacuum cleaner that tirelessly circulates through your home sucking up dirt. At $200, it's a nice piece of affordable Jetsonia. However! The Roomba website is like a morality play about what happens when web developers go horribly goddamned wrong:

  • It spawns its own window,
  • which spawns its own window,
  • which has a cheezy music soundtrack you can't turn off,
  • and a goofy animated intro,
  • and is all built in Flash,
  • even the scrollbars.

I barely made it out of there with my sanity intact. Holy crap.
