Why do so many people insist on labeling their crappy websites as a "startup"

Your website is just another clone of 1000 others out there. I could clone your clone in about 4 hours.

Yes, but Micheal Keaton has shown us that a clone of a clone might not be as sharp as the original, or even as functional as the original clone.

It wouldn't take 4 hours. The site runs on a CMS (look @ the footer)

So it would take a few minutes. Or even few if you use something like Slinkset

That could have been put a little more politely. ;-)

Posting a site/startup for review means that the user is ready to take the sweet cake "cool stuff!" reviews and even the bad "you built shit" kinda statements right in the face.

P.S: That was just IMO. I don't know what others think of review threads.
