The publisher obviously doesn't think he is doing that. They think it
is a cool site and the visitors love it. If they (the chair company)
have seen an increase in revenue since creating the site (which I
doubt because it does suck) then they are happy and will continue down
the same path as long as it is making them money.

Also, looking at the text animation, I would guess that this is a
swish site.
