It's sad how true this is. The only thing missing are the ads which enlarge over the article you're trying to read when you mouse over them.

Amazing Department Store Website

June 24th 2009 02:58
HEMA is a Dutch department store. The first store opened on November 4, 1926, in Amsterdam. Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands .

Take a look at HEMA's product page. You can't order anything and it's in Dutch but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens. Don't click on any of the items in the picture, just wait and see what happens.

This company has a sense of humour and a great computer programmer, ya? http://producten.hema.nl/
