    Too simple is what I am afriad of. I can't think of what I should do though. A background color on the navbar? A more complicated logo?

    It has potential to become a popular site. How about content, do you post the unique one? It should be both unique and up-to-date

    The design is too simple but overall I quite like the site. It's "clean" and "fresh". Keep working on it :)

    My first impression was the site looks a little plain.
    I think this is a nice website. It is easy to navigate and to find the info you need.
    I agree with goofy that it needs a nice logo or graphic up the top to sort of set it apart from the rest of sites like it.

    Overall look of the site is pretty good but you should use better header for your site, its looking clean and simple, add more content too

    Spellcheck?
    Start with the title of the thread - Satirical, follow through with the site - almost every post has some misspellings.
    I liked the site a lot, read most of the articles. Good work.
    The 'plain-ness' of the site is good, makes the site look more serious and adds severity that gives good contrast to the satire.
    Makes the first time visitor read an article or two before they go 'Heyyyy, wait a minute ...' and they get it.

    To me, it's looking neat and clean . those articles are interesting , useful, informative and enjoyable to me. I believe simple is always best and always and in any place it's acceptable.

    It would be also good to pay some attention to the SEO aspect. The well-chosen keywords, title and description would help make the site more popular
