fire_brand and The Register have already offered much incisive commentary on Be (an ISP owned by O2)'s new rebranded website. HOW WRONG IS IT? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS. Not only does it look like it was designed by a group of bickering 13 year olds who can't decide which of their MySpace page backgrounds to use, but it contains my new favourite image on the internet.

Go to the "Personalise" drop down menu below the main navigation menu on the left. Select the second option. What is it? It's hard to tell, what with the awkward tiling and clashing colours, but do you know, I believe it is a KNIGHT IN ARMOUR RIDING A PSYCHEDELIC MAGIC CARPET WHILE PLAYING THE GUITAR.

WHAT.

As if that horror wasn't enough, check out the pink pixellated balloons that look like breasts a little further down. Because that's appropriate for a national ISP! Ho yus.

In honour of this piece of internet history, I have made an icon of the acidhead rockstar space knight.* Feel free to steal it!

*The filename is "beknighted.png". I crack myself up.
