I call BS

[dupper]

'The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences' my ass. If they were such experts on interactivity, either artistically or scientifically, their fucking web page would use standard CSS, not IE broken BS CSS, or at least serve different pages to different browsers. If you haven't noticed, it renders correctly in IE and incorrectly in Mozila, Opera and other standards-based browsers. And, for that reason, I call these awards BS. This pretty much invalidates them, in my mind, from being a credible institution on any thing high techncnology-related, such as video game.

Note to 'The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences': if I weren't so horribly offended by your page design BS, I would love your article. I would read it, explore your site and click on your banners and do the same, again, when the winners are announced, and I'm sure many others would too. But, now, we won't.

PS: Fuck you.
