codeman38The web site for Maruchan Ramen.
A shining example of how a site can be perfectly compliant with the heuristic "all images must have ALT tags" while still remaining utterly inaccessible. The entire site is an image map of 23 sections, every one of which is tagged "Maruchan, Inc. - Maruchan Ramen Noodles - Ramen recipes - Japanese ramen noodles".
Through a screen reader, it's a bit like listening to Monty Python's Spam sketch: ramen, ramen, ramen, images and ramen.
Edited to add: Oh, yeah, I forgot the best part. There's a text navigation bar at the bottom... each link of which goes to another page whose content is entirely in the form of badly-ALT-tagged images. ::facepalm::
