FEMA's website provides a broad definition of terrorism for children, including assassinations, hijackings, and the use of chemical or nuclear weapons. The hosts criticize the site's visual design and the inclusion of "national security emergencies" alongside natural disasters. They suggest the imagery and color schemes used on the site are bizarre and potentially inappropriate for the subject matter.

The federal government awarded an $18 million contract to a company called Smartronics to redesign and maintain the Recovery.gov website. Critics point out that the high cost for a SharePoint-based site is excessive, suggesting that the project could have been completed for a fraction of the price using platforms like Squarespace or WordPress.

While attempting to fix audio drivers on a laptop, Dvorak critiques the new visual direction of the Skype website following its acquisition by eBay. He expresses frustration with the use of sentimental stock photography, such as a grandfather bottle-feeding a baby, which he finds irrelevant to the software's utility.
