Hands down: Worst Web site ever

I ended up clicking the Help button. This opened a new browser window which displayed a PDF (the bane of my existance!) The PDF was 49 pages long! Lacking other options I started reading it and gave up in the first paragraph when I read this:

Thank you for your interest in the State Corporation Commission's (SCC) Clerk's Information System (CIS) that allows you to directly access general information on corporations, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, business trusts and UCC filings. While CIS is accessible through the web, it is not considered a web-enabled system. The CIS system was originally designed for internal use by trained employees in a high volume data entry environment. However, the need to make this information more readily available to our customers through the Internet outweighs concerns regarding ease of use.

You've got to be kidding. I translate this to mean "anything is better than nothing, and if you don't like it, get bent!" So, I closed the help window and started clicking and typing randomly till I figured the website out.
