https://www.lingscars.com/ - yes, this is a real car rental business. Best viewed on desktop - the mobile version is not nearly as... potent.

People should check out the page source too.
I think this is worse: http://arngren.net/
That was a lot funnier than I expected :D
* I am LING you can trust me *

This is some Geocities level awesomeness and I love it.

Well, dang, I’m late.

Google image search results for “ling” are probably the best Google image search results there will ever be.

People named Ling, some very photogenic, liberally interspersed with a huge ugly fish, and almost nothing else.

Ha. I don't know Ling but I think I'd like to.
I've met Ling and I know a bunch of people who worked on her site over the last decade. She's definitely an interesting character, and very good at marketing.
The last time Ling was mentioned on HN she accused HN of DDOSing her site.
Yes! HN members were DDOSSING my website, damn them. - Ling
Whoaa, are you really Ling? This website is awesome. I'm gonna send some relatives your way for some business.
Got em
Wow. Amazing that it works almost perfectly with JS disabled. I really like the menu/navigation functionality as well, at least on desktop. Surprisingly good website despite its appearance.
Does the button on the live cam page[1] really play the proclaimers in the office? No one's there at the moment for me to test it out.

I saw this in a class recently. I was blown away. Simultaneously confounded and appreciative.
Ling scars!
Very amusing, but bloody awful if you go to the site and want to hire a car.
Mother of God...
I now have a new thing I need to send to everyone I know.
