This web page will self-destruct in . . .

Users are distracted (taunted?) in so many ways today: moving pages, moving pop-ups, pop-ups that can't be closed, messages where OK and Cancel mean the same thing, i.e. Cancel does not in fact cancel.

For me, page curl - where the web page appears to be self-destructing by peeling off a layer of its skin (complete with a ripping sound) - is one of the most offensive.

I wish someone would do a study about time on site/page curl implementation; because when the tearing sound starts, I'm out of there. . .
