I think that the streets.to site may have been updated since this was first posted, since I do recall that the taxi pulling up actually drove over/through a couple of pedestrians. However, it's still a terribly designed site from a visual standpoint and, as my friends on the swarm pointed out, the underlying code is extremely bad from a technical standpoint. The fact that a site with such poor visual and technical design could also be offering website design services was part of what had us laughing.
