Blinking Kittens

(n): extraneous or non-essential design elements added to a website, generally at the behest of a non-professional designer. Useless or tacky web design. A neologism taken from the arcane HTML markup code that caused text to flash and the ubiquity of kitten pictures on the internet.

"Man, I thought this site was done, but then the boss came in and demanded we change the font to pink. It now screams blinking kittens."

This page's purple background and weird icons just scream blinking kittens.
