>>This is the perfect example of everything wrong with modern web design. Instead of thinking, "What can we NOT add to this site design" designers seem to be thinking, "How many full screen images, rounded corners, parallax effects, CSS animations, Javascript effects and large amounts of custom fonts can we cram into this site?"

I think this site from Milwaukee's police department takes the cake: http://www.milwaukeepolicenews.com

(Although that's only the news page. The actual gov site for the police department is much plainer.)
