Just thought I'd post this gem here.

It's just too fucking good seeing this guy's delusion.
Remember guys, no matter how shit your design skills are, at least you're not this guy.
Another demo site using this wonderful theme.

Poor bastard.
Damn, I feel sorry for the guy.
With all that time spent working for this, how come he's managed to do such a poor job? That's more than 10k hours yet, as the saying goes, he should've mastered it by now. It's like he's never seen what WP themes or websites look like.
>"Hey I'll just make a WP theme and rake in shitloads of money in commision whilst I sit on my ass in a cafe in Chiang Mai"
That was his biggest mistake from the start. His total lack of creative ability was the nail in the coffin
How stupid can you be to leave a first world country and go to buttfuck Chiang Mai, when everyone there desperately wants to escape from that place? And this is coming from someone who's living in another third world country. Some people are so thick to believe that having a golden throne in a massive pile of guano is not a problem because they can live like kings with money from IT. This is devolution.
